"Love is of no value without power and position." 


對於十七、八、九世紀英國皇室的權力鬥爭，一直都是著迷的。
歷史學家研究整理的資料也好，小說作家捉風補影的描述也罷。

Philippa Gregory筆下的多鐸人物，總是在權力與慾望裡打轉。
Her Tudor series: The Other Boleyn Girl (2001), The Queen's Fool (2004), The Virgin's Love (2004), The Constant Princess (2005), The Boleyn Inheritance (2006) and The Other Queen (to be released in the United Kindgdom in September and the United States in October 2008).

知道The Other Boleyn Girl被改拍成電影的時候，感覺其實很複雜。
擔心影像沒有辦法傳達文字的細膩，可是又期待戲劇能夠賦予故事更多的張力。
這中間把小說又拿出來翻了好幾次，電影卻是拖拉到上個禮拜才看。


Anne Boleyn最後是被自己的慾望妒忌吞噬掉的吧。
以為自己握有天堂的鎖匙，不覺間卻走錯深陷地獄。

Mary Boleyn選擇了讓自己的浪漫情懷抹去那深淵。
不管陷在多麼難堪的處境，她還是用力擁抱著Anne。

到底人性是本惡嗎？所有的欺騙跟背叛都是慾望的失控。
這場交易的結果終究承載不住傷痕，而留下的只有唏噓。



[Quotes]
‧Thomas Boleyn: To get ahead in this world, you need more than fair looks and a kind heart.
‧Anne Boleyn: Betrothed is not married. It's a long journey from bended knee to the altar. 
‧Lady Elizabeth: See how they (the ladies of the court) achieve what they want from their men, not by stamping their little feet but by allowing the men to believe that they, indeed, are in charge. That is the art of being a woman. 
‧Lady Elizabeth: These gifts, this favor will go as swiftly as it came.
‧Lady Elizabeth: What is treason? It's anything the King or his lawyers decide it to be. Anything that offends him, or causes him displeasure.
