Arrest and Execution of Anna Bolena in a TV Movie (with Video)

Actress Natalie Dormer as Anna Bolena in the TV series "The Tudors"

The Tudors is a television series by Michael Hirst broadcast in several seasons from 2007 to 2010.

The drama, although in some circumstances fictionalized, allowed the public to learn more about the complex reign of Henry VIII (1491-1547) ( see also https://www.pilloledistoria.it/8382/storia-moderna/le-6-mogli-di-enrico-viii-in-un-film-tv-con-video).

The fiction, which has met with considerable success also thanks to a cast highly respected (to find out more click on:imdb.com/title/tt0758790/), has been criticized for the judged excessive use of violence, in particular in the frequent scenes of war and death sentences, which in fact do not leave some room for the imagination.

However, this does not apply to the sequence relating to the execution of Anna Bolena, which is rather sweetened and avoids too gory images.

The second ex the king's wife appears courageous, firm and serene in the face of the death that awaits her, while the moment of her real beheading remains off screen.

The video is taken from youtube.com.

The role of Anna Bolena is played by Natalie Dormer .
