  • I love the song playing when Anne is excited what is it from and who the artist

  • I was soooo excited that Natalie Portman was going to be playing Anne Boleyn. Then I was soooo disappointed at her portrayal in 'The Other Boleyn Girl.' I realize that some of it was the writing but her acting was just not up to par. She didn't *become* Anne as she became Nina in 'Black Swan' for example.

    Now, I know 'The Tudors' is a bit...loose...with facts, but I really loved Natalie Dormer's Anne. IMO, she just got it.

  • I absolutely love Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn - have never seen someone acting like this! Amazing!! I started watching "The Tudors" after switch through the TV program and watching this last scene from season 2 coincidentally. I had never seen this show before and didn't know anything about it - but the last scene, where I saw Anne Boleyn executed was so shocked and i wanted to find out, what she had done to deserve that. I'm now much more interested in history than before - thanks Natalie ;)

  • Dormer all the wayyy <3

  • The scene at 2.17 it reminds me of a scene at the tudors because there are a scene what is the same as here.

    sorry for my bad english

  • 4:58 - 4.12 breaks my heart everytime.

  • Excellent videos. One of the best things about "The Tudors" was Natalie's performance as Anne Boleyn, which went from good in Season 1 to fantastic in Season 2. This said, my sentimental favorite - and the first actress I ever saw in the role - will remain Dame Dorothy Tutin.

  • I like both Natalie Portman and Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn. But I say Dormer had the edge, with out her playing Anne in 'the Tudors' I really don't think the show would have been such a hit. And in those first 2 seasons she just owned it, even though the show is essentially supposed to be about Henry VIII. It was not the same in the remaining seasons without her. And I'm glad Dormer appears much in the 2nd part of this video because out of them all she has the strongest execution speech.

  • Interesting that they included the scene where Henry VIII looks sad when he hears that Anne has been executed. In real life, I don't think Henry VIII mourned over Anne at all. He was just glad that he got rid of the damn bitch who couldn't give birth to a son and fooled around on him. Poor Anne! She was unjustly accused and couldn't do anything about it!

  • @chinagrrl you called her a damn bitch then you say poor anne i dont believe you have sympathy or her i think you dislike her and it shows when you said the damn bitch and i dont wanna hear that you was only speaking what he may have been thinkin i dont buy it shame on you

  • @donnylovesayesha1 Wow! I can't believe some people are so passionate about this! I'm only saying what Henry VIII was probably thinking. He never mourned over Anne Boleyn at all, as a matter of fact, he was off and running to Jane Seymour after he heard that Anne was executed! I have plenty of sympathy for Anne Boleyn, who as I wrote before, was unjustly accused of adultery.

  • so beautiful! i almost cried at the end. im glad you included Natalie Dormer in this one. I love her, and in my opinion she is the best Anne Boleyn! whenever i think of anne i think of her. But Genevieve Bujold runs a VERY close second. she's so wonderful too:)

  • even though the real henry VIII wasn't as hot as Jonathan Rhys Meyers, he is my fav king henry.... as natalie dormer is my fav queen anne,

  • I can't believe Henry didn't feel any remorse when Anne was killed. Arsehole.

  • i watched both long parts with my slower than snail connection just to see redgrave but she just appeared for 3 seconds in part 1 and not even one in part 2. what a dissapointment i must say

  • @ConfusedSponge unfortunately she only makes an uncredited cameo appearance as Anne in 'A Man for all Seasons,' and doesn't speak, so what you see is what you get!

  • @TheBullen1 So, Redgrave only appeared for 3 seconds in the entire film? Huhu....

  • @TheBullen1 Who is the actor that is at 9:27? I think he plays Cromwell or Cramner. I remember watching this in the 70's and had almost forgotten about it untill I stumbled across it on You Tube.

  • @gotch09 Bernard Hepton played Cranmer in both the BBC miniseries of 1970 and the 1973 film of Henry and his queens. In addition, he played the role for the Glenda Jackson series Elizabeth R in 1971. He does a great job in all three in my opinion, and Elizabeth R in particular captures his Protestant torch-carrying devotion in the scenes with the young and dying Edward VI. If you look up Gerlach Flich's portrait of the Archbishop, you'll see that Hepton actually looks a great deal like Cranmer.

  • i say natalie dormer was well the best at playing anne she did an amazing job!

    i <3 Natalie Dormer

  • Come re ha fatto schifo e come uomo anche. La sua vera erede l'aveva già: era Elisabetta, figlia di Anna. Che uomo idiota|||||||||||||||||||||||

  • Natalie Dormer caught the essence of anne boleyn but natilie portman did good

  • poor anne. xxx

  • Genevieve Bujold was a fantastic Anne, with Natalie Dormer a close second.

  • Merle Oberon was the most beautiful Anne Boleyn I've ever seen. Charlotte Rampling was plain weird as Anne Boleyn, but I enjoyed her performance. Natalie Dormer broke my heart in the execution scene. All good portrayals! Thanks for making and posting this! It's very entertaining!

  • Fantastic work on both parts & major props for the compilation. I've been a Tudor fan since I childhood when I first read about a young Queen Elizabeth in one of my American history books. Her mother has always been equally fascinating to me and, along with Katherine Parr, may be my favorite of Henry's wives. My favorites: Natalie Dormer, Genevieve Bujold, Dorothy Tutin.

    By the way, did you see Henny Porten's Anne in Lubitsch's Deception? I'm not fond of her Anne & I LOVE silent movies.

  • I wish there was more natalie in this

  • Very well done.

  • @maryellencastello

    Anne Boleyn is innocent.

  • Charlotte, Genevieve and Dorothy RULE!

  • I have to agree I like Genevieve and Natalie's portral of Anne

  • I'm an old man now and have seen them all; for me, Genevieve Bujold holds the prize. Although not the best indicator of such things, only Bujold was honored with both the Golden Globe win and an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal. All of these actresses captured bits and pieces of the real Anne beautifully. Merle Oberon was probably the closest in looks (a mon avis).

  • Bujold hands down was the best

  • Anne Boleyn was the most facinating woman on history! I just love her!

    I think the best are:

    1.Natalie Dormer

    2.Genevieve Bujold

    3.Natalie Potman (I think that she looks most like Anne Boleyn)

  • I think that for Anne's ending scenes, Natalie Dormer and Genevieve Bujold did it best - facing death with at the very least some bravery. Natalie Portman's performance fell a little short there, she was too shaky and freaked out.

  • @mkmwrite

    i agree, Anne was brave at her execution and was determined to look every bit like a Queen, I think Natalie Dormer did the best Execution :)

  • Charlotte Rampling was far and away the best.

    Genevieve Bujold as number two.

    Natalie Dormer was very good in the second season of the Tudors, not the first.

    Natalie Portman and the other woman playing in the BBC "Other Boleyn Girl" were both terrible. It's fitting, somehow, given how awful that book/portrayal of Anne Boleyn was.

  • @coilxcept I am in agreement with you regarding Rampling and Bujold but in reverese order (sorry to the passionate Dormer/Portman corners, but agree there too!). I think it's a shame though that Charlotte was saddled with the myths of the large mole and "sixth" finger. Both stories were concocted posthumously by enemies and both if truly existing would have been mentioned frequently in contemporary letters and court calendars. The Spanish alone would've held the publishing monopoly!

  • JRM I think did the best as Henry and Natalie as Anne. (:

    Lovely video

  • anne boleyn was the most brave woman that change the history of england and got a most important queen of her country her daughter elizebeth

  • i like the end with the singing. so touching. RIP anne.

  • I absolutely believe Genevieve Bujold did the best portrayal of Anne..she played her so perfectly,with passion and life! and looks exactly as she was purported to look like...what a beautiful woman! both Anne & Genevieve

  • Natalie Dormer did the best portrayal of Anne Boleyn and Genevieve Bujold is a close second. The Other Boleyn Girl's Anne Boleyn was the worst portrayal ever! The movie did the book no justice.

  • I actually thought that Natalie Portman did a very good job. She and N. Dormer are my two favorites.

  • Anne Boleyn has always been my favourite of all of Henry's wives. Although most people do not agree i think that Natalie Portman did an amazing job as Anne. i don't think they could have found anyone more fit for her. at some parts she over acted but she did an amazing job. and Natalie Dormer WAS Anne. she portrayed her so well!

  • i second that=)

  • thx :)

  • Mine too!

  • @lilmizpinkbubblegum My thoughts exactly lol

  • well its like 2 months late but i hope you did great on your audtition!! hope u get the part..

  • The actor who plays the king starting at 0:45 is so overly cheesy, I can barely watch it!

  • that ending is so sad really beautifully conveyed especially with that music and the bit where cranmer started to pray so sad! :( x

  • Anne Boleyn is my favourite as well, and then Genevieve Bujold. The other boleyn girls offends me a little.

  • I know what you mean!!! I love Portman's work, but her Anne was just so...not Anne! And I agree with MrsHarkness too, Natalie Dormer is just brilliant. I don't think I'll be able to see any other Anne and be completely pleased for a hanful of years.

  • mmm yeah I completely understand what you mean. I did mean 'Natalie Dormer' when I said 'Anne Boleyn'...

  • natalie dormer is the best anne in my opinion and Anne Boleyn really was a fascinating queen. One of the most fascinating women in history in my opinion

  • I would also like to add that Natalie Dormer is magnificent in her execution scene. Beautifully done.

  • It is true that anne suddenly reverted back to the catholic faith, but most think this was to appease the spanish so they wouldn't hurt her child, or because she was under so much stress that she went back to the faith of her child hood. No one really believes that she meant it. I don't think it is a big deal. She was about to be excuted...things happen.

  • I am so in love with Anne and Elizabeth. My favorites for playing Anne were Genevieve Bujold and Natalie Dormer. TheBullen1, I have a question. Which of the stated Actresses/portrayals do you not like?

  • There is a contradiction: If Anne was a big reformist, why she back to Catholic Religion? If she don't, why on any movies make that question?

  • Perhaps your confusing her with Anne of Cleves?

  • No, I'm NOT CONFUSING HER WITH ANNE OF CLEVES! IN THE SERIES "THE TUDORS", AT THE FINAL EPISODE, YOU SEE THE PART WHEN SHE IS PRAYING IN FRONT OF A CROSS!

  • You have to be kidding. "The Tudors"? You mean the most laughable historically inaccurate representation of 16th cent.ury England to have graced the small screen?

    Anne Boleyn was known to support church reform, but there's little evidence that she was a strict over the top Protestant.

    As to "PRAYING IN FRONT OF A CROSS", so what? That wasn't a litmus test for devout Roman Catholism back then. The avoidance of crosses and crucifixes was more of a 17th cent. Puritan ideal.

  • Oh, come on, dude! Just only calm down! It's a opinion about history; the history is full of truths and lies... So, I prefer left that at the time, don't you believe it?? All the movies have something of historical mistakes, so maybe the cross's question was just only a little bean of polemic about Anne Boleyn's figure or a big stupidity for part of Mchael Hirst.

  • She took a Catholic Mass before dying. She did this so she could make one last statement of innocence and defiance to her enimies. Basically she put her immortal soul on the line and in a time of such religeous fervor it was compelling to prove her innocence. It was really only a tool.

  • @guardianangel10 Can assure you that she's alive and well, and reading your paragraph. I don't think you would play with your soul like that... unless you don't believe in God, of course.

  • Even though Anne started the reformation of the church she remained catholic till her death

  • what movie was it out of, the segment where the exectuioner appologies?

  • The segment in which the excutioner apologizes for beheading anne is from the TV series "The Tudors"

  • Beautifully put together - thank you!

  • Keith Michell is surely the best representation of Henry VIII ever!!

  • Sublime, as always!

    There is no fully satisfactory depiction of Anne. In spite of the inclusion of spurious deformities, I'm partial to Charlotte Rampling - she captures some of Anne's intense energy (sometimes edging into nervous energy), highstrung under extreme pressure, but also her elusive charm - The French accent and lithe elegance are right - the scene where Henry observes her playing with the dogs as their marriage collapses really seems "Anne" to me.

    She is still Wild for to Hold.

  • Part 2 even better then one!  The montage of all the executions was amazing!

  • Glad you enjoyed.. while since i made this... but I did find it really difficult to do the execution sequence... really tragic stuff. Thanks for watching!

  • The best of Anne Boleyn I have seen so far. Ratings disabled but five stars none the less.

  • Thanks so much! Unfortunately I have a lovely subscriber that creates mulitiple profiles and rates me down.. so much so that It corrupted two of my vids that I had to remake! But thanks for the rating:) glad you enjoyed

  • Me too i think they should build her a better grave and place her in. i would be justice to woman who never truly got any justice

  • Your right there should be a memorial for her. And her grave is almost unmarked

  • every time i see her grave, i honestly really gets to me. She was an inspriational woman, a deeply religious, charasmatic and quite literally the greatest Queen Consort of England. One day I hope we can do her some justice, as her death was anything but

  • I hope Anne found peace it was awful what happen to her. I don't think she did those crimes

  • I really hope she is at peace... she certainly was inncoent of all crimes accused, and her death should be seen as the tragedy that it was. I would love a fitting memorial erected to her.. one day I pray

  • Comment removed

  • @TheBullen1 I would say that to the end she remained The Most Happy. And if people would remember her kindly despite that unkind end, I think that she would be pleased enough with that tribute. :)

  • this is a brill video, thx a million

    genevieve bujold and charlotte rampling r definately the best anne boleyns ever!!!

  • Bravo!!!!!!

  • So little Tudors... but I guess it is much harder to cut off clips from many episodes rather than from a one movie. :) I really enjoyed these two videos. The ending was beautifully made. I have seen some of these movies (and watched every episode of the Tudors) and I hope that I can see the rest of them too. :)

  • Hey, i'm so glad that you enjoyed! Yup, it is very difficult to get the clips from the Tudors that I wanted to use as it hasnt aired in England yet. I wasnt a fan of the first series.. the costumes really irritated me.. but I do appreciate the detail that they have tried to include in the second season. Good luck in finding the other films.. some of them you will love, and a lot i'm sure you will hate.. but all good fun!

  • charlotte rampling was one of the best imo

    she certainly had the vivacity!!!

  • enjoyed it just as much this time round! even more!  she must have been such an amazing, beautiful, charismatic woman if only they had had video recorders!!

  • pretty good. I think Nantlie's Portman had the most most realistic approach to her beheading. Her hands were shaking as she was removing her necklace. the interesting was that her sister Mary only survived as where her brother Geogre & Anne didn't because unlike them Mary ultimately rejected the court life in the end & ended up rasing Anne's daughter Elizabeth I. The kicker was that Henry 8 wanted a boy to rule England & both his daughters Elizabeth & Mary ended up becoming queen of England.

  • mary didnt raise elizbeth not even close elizabeth stand at hatfield

  • sorry stayed* and elizabeth was raised by her governess

  • You're absoulutely right, I only thought Elizabeth I was brought up Mary Bolyen after I had saw "The Other Boylen Girl" & I learned from a friend that the movie wasn't totally accurate which was based on a novel which also was inaccurate.

  • who was Elizabeth's governess?

  • Lasy Margaret Bryan to start of with but when Prince Edward was born Kat Champernowne took over. She would later become Kat Ashley after marriage.

  • Kat ashley

  • I'm so glad you enjoyed!

  • really REALLY enjoyed this - meant to be changing beds, but what the heck! lol !!!

    thanx.

  • beautifully done especially the end when you show her execution 5 stars :)

  • How I would like to watch all this films, especially Anne of the Thousand Days. Genevieve Bujold is really beautiful ;)

    However, thanks for sharing this with us!!

  • Cool! :)
