We’re about 3/4 through season one of the Tudors, and maybe it is just me, or maybe it is how the portray Henry VIII, but it seems to me that the biggest accomplishment of this king is the fact that he pretty much screwed anything that wasn’t nailed down, and he managed to switch allegiances, just as fast as he switched mistresses.“I love the King of France…I hate the King of France.”
“I love the Emperor of Spain…I hate the Emperor of Spain…I wonder what the French King is up to? …”
Ok, the quotation marks don’t actually denote the true dialogue of the movie, but it is pretty much what he was all about.
They don’t go into any detail, at least in this season, about what kind of a King he was; what he did for his people, what good he did while he reigned. Maybe, he didn’t do any good. Maybe he was as self obsessed as they portray him. I just think if your going to make a series about someone, you may want to delve a little deeper into his life.
