The 2008 adaptation of the novel, The Other Boleyn Girl shows a romanticized version of the events around HenryVIII's marriage to his first and second wives and his affair with Mary Boleyn. The plot revolves around the two Boleyn sisters Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) competing for the affections of Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Political machinations run rampant in this movie and plots are laid, hatched, destroyed and reborn sometimes within minutes of one another, however for any meager student of history you will inevitably know all the rest of it already.
