The Other Boleyn Girl (11/11) Movie CLIP - The Execution of Anne Boleyn (2008) HD

[@TheDrunkHamster]

In real life the executioner was so moved and felt so bad that before he swung he said "now where is my sword?" to calm her down so she didn't know it was coming.

[@Terka5551]

Really? Where did you get it from?

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Not entirely true. It wasn't because he felt sorry for her, it was for a much more practical reason - to get her to position her head correctly. To stop Anne from instinctively looking backwards, the executioner called out "Bring me the sword," to his assistant. Anne of course automatically looked in the direction of the assistant. The executioner grabbed his sword from where it was hidden under the straw, and Anne literally never saw it coming.

Whitney Pyant there are multiple theories of what exactly went on, so no one knows exactly.

[@Whitneypyant]

HTDvideos there is written historical record which was documented by the people who was there. The Other Boleyn Girl made some crap up as they went along. For instance Mary Boleyn was banished because she married someone without Anne permission. She wasn't even there. Also at the end of movie it show that Mary Boleyn took Elizabeth from court which is false Elizabeth stayed at court until she became queen

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

+HTDvideos Whitney is correct, there are multiple accounts by those who were present. Anne did not go out sobbing and crying, she was actually very composed. The Constable of the Tower even wrote "this lady has much joy in death." Nor was it a cloudy rainy day as shown here, it was actually a bright sunny morning.

[@chsparkle]

1. Anne Boleyn was very calm and collected before she was beheaded. She barely showed signs of fear or discomfort. This depiction couldn't be further from the truth 2. The executioner of Calais first hid the sword near him, pretended like the sword wasn't with him and then asked someone on the other side of Anne to 'fetch his sword'. This was so that Anne would turn to the other side to see the sword coming. But he actually had the sword, so when she turned, it gave him a clear shot at her neck. This was kinder, bc she didn't see it coming. 3. The execution was at the Tower Green (In the tower of london)

I really liked Natalie Dormer as Anne, but I think she failed to capture the ruthless politician and manipulator that Anne could be. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Anne was an evil home wrecker, but I also think The Tudors failed to portray what a woman ahead of her time she was, and what a politician she was in her own right. Still, far and away a better portrayal than this tripe.

And Henry's hair color. Henry was a ginger and so was Elizabeth, while Anne was a brunette. From what I've read Elizabeth's personality was really a mix of her mother's and father's.

That's the problem when you make a movie about a part of history that has been recorded in detail. A queen's execution? You bet many people wrote how it was. You need to be accurate. If you don't want to, make a fictional story and let imagination run free between historical parameters. Reminds me a miniseries about Napoleon and Josephine (Armand Assante, Jacqueline Bisset) in which the only historical facts were their names. Great acting, action and passion, but each scene was cringeworthy from the recorded history side. Awful.

[@trogdorthe8th]

See, this scene really bothered me. It's documented that Anne was calm, and gave a well-versed and well-spoken speech before her execution, evening making morbid jokes that she had such "a little neck" beforehand. Even still, while they don't make light of it, Henry still had a small bit of love for her in his own sadistic way, so he gave her one last bit of kindness before she died: Many people's heads were hacked off by large axes, which sometimes took more than one stroke, and would be more painful. For Anne, he specified that a sword be used, so that it would be clean, painless, and end in one single stroke. Anyway, I get it, they wanted the drama. But the historical accounts are just as dramatic in their own sense. To each his own I suppose.

[@Sin6667]

trogdorthe8th They did it much better in the TV show, The Tudors.

[@SHAWNEESKYWALKER]

Henry's "last bit of kindness " was due to the fact he knew she was innocent.

[@DenaInWyo]

Actually, the headsman from Calais was sent for before she was even convicted. There's a huge debate in historical circles about Henry's reasoning for this. It may have been mercy, it may have been the French element of Anne in general, and it may have just plain been for show on Henry's part to make him look more merciful. She was, after all, a Queen of England going to her execution. Perhaps it was a matter of aristocratic delicacy. At any rate, the fact that the headsman was on his way before Queen Anne even went to trial is pretty telling.

[@Mel-jy4kc]

From what I read it WAS Henry's idea. Getting him from France was also his idea, which is why her execution experienced a small delay or a day or so.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

The use of the swordsman from Calais was a PR stunt on Henry's part. He wanted to be seen as dispensing justice not revenge. Henry liked to think well of himself, and had a way of twisting things in his own mind to make himself into the "good guy" even though he'd actually acted like an a**hole. Hence the "mercy sword" for Anne, and I also believe it was at least part of the reason he offered Anne of Cleves such a huge divorce settlement ("I know I'm divorcing my wife of six months who hasn't actually done anything wrong, and publicly humiliated her by falsely claiming that she's ugly and smelly, but I'm giving her buckets of money. There, see what a nice guy I am?")

[@agenttheater5]

I like the change they made to their mother from the book, in the book she just went along with it all and kept telling Mary to continue to smile and that introducing them to court life that early was good for them. In this movie she knew that Henry would tire of both her daughters soon enough and how easily the favours Henry gave their family or anyone else could be taken back. I liked that there was at least one sensible member of this family. Mostly so that now we can say "She told her husband that he'd get tired of them, like he did his wife and like he did with every other mistress he'd ever had, but he wouldn't listen to her."

[@catspaw3092]

Natalie is a great actress but I felt that she tried a little too hard in her betrayal of Anne Natalie Dormer's Anne carried her death with grace & dignity. Portman's Anne was sobbing the real Anne wouldn't give the king or the people the satisfaction that she's afraid of death.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Unfortunately, accurate or not, she is an actress and has to do what the script requires. I don't know why the writers decided to go with the sobbing and crying. Perhaps they thought it would be more dramatic but I actually think the quiet dignity of the Tudors scene was more powerful.

Anne Boleyn was calm and faced her death with grace because she knew she was innocent. She embraced death and gave a powerful speech. And the executioner was kind to her. He made it in such a way that she wouldn't hear the swishing of the blade in her last moments. This movie did Anne dirty.

[@theshillneckedlizard8364]

He did, but it wasn't to be kind to her - it was to get her to position her head correctly. To stop Anne from instinctively looking backwards, the executioner called out "Where is my sword?" to his assistant. Anne, of course, turned her head to look in the direction of the assistant, and this enabled the executioner to get a clear swipe at her neck without her flinching or doing anything to alter his aim. It worked, and Anne was decapitated with a single stroke. The one small mercy is that she literally never saw it coming.

[@theonlylampshade]

I disagree. Natalie Portman could only play the character as written, and she did a very good job. Historically accuracy is irrelevant. The script called here for a very emotional execution, not a stoic one. Portman did it brilliantly, and as an actress she can't be judged in comparison to another actress who had the scene written completely differently.

[@tsvetomirapetrova7212]

theonlylampshade The execution scene could be made emotional without all the snot and tears. An actor can play with their face, gestures, posture and eyes and convey strong emotion without sniveling like a three-year-old.

Tsvetomira Petrova You've clearly missed the point of what I said.

GothamIzzy But that isn't how the book was written, thus how this story was told. Natalie Dormer and Portman are not the only two people to have potrayed Anne Boleyn.

[@lisatheboywonder6744]

This movie was stupid and horribly inaccurate. King Henry did not rape Anne Boleyn, neither her or his other wives even accused him of it. He never had extensive contact with Mary Boleyn after the affair, She started being his mistress after when she was already married and had no contact with Henry by the time he started courting Anne. Her and her sister were not close but they were not rivals. They were raised in different courts and moved in different social circles so they hardly ever saw each other or interacted with each other and by the time Mary Boleyn married her second husband Anne banished her from her position and disowned her because she married a low born man and did not see her from there on out til Anne died. Also, Anne Boleyn by the time of her execution was noted to not be full of sorrow and letters she wrote during her imprisonment in the tower of London imply that she wanted to die and made peace with the fact she was cause she was probably just tired of it all and just wanted to be ' free from her pain.' She was noted by witnesses at her execution that she walked lightly and gaily to her execution ' like she was not about to die.' Cause by then she was more then ready to. Even though she was hated she was known for her composure and bravery and even her enemies thought it admirable. She gave a dignified speech and said the same prayer over and over again waiting for the sword to drop. The french executioner was so taken by her for her courage, charm, and bravery he spared her the agony of waiting and made her think she had a moment more and took her by surprise when he asked the boy to fetch him his sword and caught her off guard by giving her a merciful blow cause she was not expecting it. Also, in those times if your were of high ranking or a noble family like the Boleyn's were if someone was tried for a crime against the king the rest of your family would essentially act like you are dead already and distance themselves from her to try and save face cause her crime tarnished their name and their favor with the court and the king so it would be best to not have anything to do with that person for the sake of your own social standing, the reputation of your house, lessening the shame of the crime your family member committed albeit whether or not they were guilty, and the risk of the king coming after you next and your legacy being finished. So her sister for her own sake and her families sake would not have pleaded with the king for her sisters life cause her son, her husband, her families lives would be on the line and Anne tarnished the Boleyn name so the ' saving face ' thing to do so you could still be seen in decent company was to just act like they did not exist and they were dead to you already. And Henry more then likely never cried for Anne, he was already in throws of preparing a lavish wedding for his up coming bride Jane Seymour. By the time Anne was arrested he was already courting her and he made up trump charges so he could get rid of her and marry Jane which he did ten days after Anne's execution so I do not think he was sorrowful over her dead he was impatient about her not being killed soon enough so he could marry again.Seriously this movie is really dumb, and poorly acted out, and I do not think that whoever wrote this book, movie, whatever knew anything about the Tudors.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

I agree that Henry did not rape Anne - for some perverted reason this is not the only movie that depicts him doing so, either; the telemovie "Henry VIII" has him brutally raping Anne as well. There is absolutely no evidence to show that it ever happened. Nor would he have needed to - Anne was desperate to fall pregnant again, her life quite literally depended on it.
