Mary & Elizabeth Tudor {Missing}

When I thought of this song in context for Henry VIII's daughters, I realized I absolutely had to make a video. It may not be fantastic, but I've always loved the Tudor era, particularly while Henry was still alive and the girls were growing up. Of the daughters, I prefer Elizabeth, while I tend to sympathize with Catherine when it comes to the wives.

Helena Bonham Carter is my favorite actress and she made me absolutely fall in love with Anne -- temporarily. This video attempts to deal with how alone and forgotten both girls feel after their mothers are discarded. Henry kind of treated them, especially Elizabeth, like a bad memory he didn't want to bring up again.

I used Rachel Hurd-Wood as BOTH girls when they were younger. No confusion intended, nor copyright infringement; enjoy!

why are there clips of vanity fair in this

[MagicCrafter]

@ihaveagaydog Apparently people are totally incapable of reading. I've answered this question before--it's difficult to find redheads in period pieces, much less pieces set in the Tudor era, and at the time I was making this, Vanity Fair was the BEST I COULD DO. Please, read other comments before you post.

like the song but the vid is shit there are only a few pictures of elizabeth and anne the ones of reese weitherspoon are from a completly different film

[MagicCrafter]

Thanks for the constructive crit. I'm perfectly aware that the Reese Witherspoon pictures aren't actually of Mary, and I think the rest of my viewers are, too.

[eeyore666999]

well then why put them in as your title says mary n elizabeth you are just false advertising

[MagicCrafter]

It's not "advertising," it's a title. And the other hundred people who've favorited this video don't seem to mind. I'm sorry it bothers you - just don't watch it, in that case.

i wish in this time of ladies still wear this type of clothes but the housing and technology is still there but womens still wear this dresses in this time because its very elegant and pretty and but the headdress hmm i would just ban it up or do it some thing for hehe crevity im not saying tat the head dress is not nice but quite nice to wear. Im form singapore and i love english history and the clothes its brillant . hope if singapore or usa part still make this type of dresses

I love Helena Bonham Carter but I hate her portrayal of Anne Boleyn. She played her the exact opposite of who she truly was- a vivacious, charming, passionate, and charismatic woman who wasn't considered beautiful but exuded sex appeal. Helena made her out to be a cold, detached, and quite frankly bored person who drew the king in with her gorgeous face. Natalie Portman just made her out to be an ambitious bitch. Natalie Dormer is the only actress I've seen manage to capture her true spirit.

@gothicdoll123 While this type of clothing is indeed beautiful, it is not practical on a day to day basis, unless you have maids and nannies and don't want to do anything physical (like walk or breathe), nor were the corsets good for a persons health.

@MagicCrafter

um mary was not a redhead though, she was blonde

WHERE DID SOME OF THESE PICS COME FROM..LIKE 3;38..??

[MagicCrafter]

@idickstein Thank you for watching, but as I’ve said before to other, similar comments, I’m more than aware that Reese Witherspoon did not play Mary or Elizabeth. At the time I was making this, I was having difficulty finding a red-haired actress in any period piece, much less in a sixteenth-century piece. When I stumbled across the Vanity Fair stills, I was relieved and I used them. I apologize if it bothered you.

[idickstein]

I started out liking this vid but was disturbed by the addtion of Reese Witherspoon from Vanity Fair in it. She was neither Mary nor Elisabeth and her character didn't exist until around 250 years later. That kind of killed my enjoyment of the vid.
