The Tudors: Anne Boleyn's Downfall

Henry does everything in his power to rid himself of his second wife, Anne Boleyn, - the woman he risked everything for. He has her tried for charges of treason and adultery, while carrying on with his soon-to-be third wife, Jane Seymour, only to feel guilty later on. Meanwhile, locked in the Tower, Anne remembers her relationship with Henry & prepares herself for execution... Greyscale clips represent memories, thoughts & imagination.

in 3:49 is Anne dead?

[lc0702]

No, the idea was for Henry to feel guilt and remorse for having her executed, so he was having nightmares and hallucinations involving Anne.

[adamw2k8]

actually Anne Boleyn was beheaded with a sword

[lc0702]

Correct! :)

[SilverDrama]

Really good vid! Bessie as Jane was a good choice, it worked so well! The execution was okay, but she was beheaded with an axe, but abviously, there aren't any axe clips. Henry having nightmarish dreams about her at the end was cool.

[lc0702]

Anne was beheaded with a sword. Henry sent for the best executioner in Calais to do the job, as beheading by sword was much cleaner and quicker than an axe, which often took more than 1 blow to the sever the head. Sorry, there haven't been any sword clips for me to use - yet! :)

Anne's downfall was that she was self-possessed, arrogant, mouthy and independent in an age when women were supposed to be subservient and obedient to everything the man wanted. Add to that her failure to produce a son, and Henry probably felt he had no choice but to get rid of her.

[mcoordinator]

Exactly!she encouraged H8's obsession!she asked H8 2 get rid of Kat& later even asked him 2 execute mother &child after angry sex followed by a blowjob!!She was a kniving slut who got what she deserved in the end.She got him with lies, manipulation& deceit,so she lost her head the same way!Live by the sword..die by the sword!she thought she was 2 clever 2 become a victim of her own vicious machinations.How could she NOT be called a slut?What?like sluts dont hold out 4 the big payoff?PLZ!

I for one,find it difficult to judge the tudor mindset with my 21C understanding,never the less it generates interest in history and stimulates one to find out for themselves,

[angeldream2]

I really enjoyed this clip, great music, great clips, great work, I just wish the written could try and show a bit more of what really happened that's all, oh well, Thanks anyway, love this video !

[Biggsy1988]

lol tis okay, it happens alot on here. I myself have done it :)

[wraithofthedark]

oh im really sorry, i misread it.

[Biggsy1988]

I'm not saying don't watch it your missing the point completely. I enjoy the show myself but it frustrates me the ignorance it creates among people who believe that they way it happens in the show is actually the way it happened. I also think the writers of the show doubt the audiences intelligence (even people who know nothing about the period). I'm not telling no one not to watch it at all

[wraithofthedark]

well, then people actuatly interested in the facts shouldnt watch the show if they are insulted. no one is forcing you or them to watch it. but dont ruin it for others, by telling us not to watch it.

[vaughn75]

Whose's this song by? Anyone who like's the turors and whats a real account of what anne and the rest of his wife's were really like have a read of the 6 wifes of herny 8th by alison weir

[ChoiFungWa]

Gotcha, thank you very much. I listen to this song every time when I go jogging.

[Biggsy1988]

Yes but people who are actually interested in this period of history some of the innacuracies are insuluting. Especially since some idiots will actaully believe that all that happens in the show is actaully how it all happened. That it was annoys me the most

[bonniemattingly]

Biggsy, you gotta look at why people are watching this particular show. It's not to actually learn the truth about what really happened so much as - it's a great show based on a lot of historical fact BUT the juicy stuff is embellished so that it can compete with the highest-rating shows in the same time slot.
