Gonna watch yet another movie about Henry VIII ?

In new film Firebrand, Jude Law and Alicia Vikander star as Henry VIII and his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, reframing how history and culture have presented the monarch. - Emma Jones

To bad the theme song won't be by Herman's Hermits

Now I got this song playing in my head - especially the part where they break at the 1:00 mark

I bought and watched it recently. It was pretty good. I love movies in that time and history.

@BeJeweled

I like history, too - - as long as it's as true as it can be. Looking at Charles Laughton as Henry is now laughable.

I'm ordering you - especially YOU - to watch this at your earliest convenience. 😁

I love periodic dramas like this , crazy how figure heads back then lived 10 life times in such a short span of living as he died when he was only in his fifties …

There are ruins of a cathedral built near where I live dating back to the 16th century, pretty cool … when the sun sets and rises it looks as though it’s coming back to life if only for a short moment 😌

@ThreeLittleBirds

I'm interested in the day-to-day inconveniences and indignities people had to endure - - people of every station.

ThreeLittleBirds · F

Yes 😌 🖤

I could learn about certain topics of history all day . It’s a cool subject @rinkydinkydoink
