Historical Period films, like any other movie, should have a good source of entertainment so the audience is not easily bored. However, one of the most truly important parts of a historical period film is the accuracy of what is being portrayed. Certain liberties can be taken, but take too many and the stories get dismantled and unrecognizable. Especially when one has a story about one of the most important rulers of the British monarchy.

The overall performance of the movie in my opinion was very well. The movie had explained itself very well and had very lots scenes of what I had imagined in my mind from the book.

The movie had very good transitions. The movie had tricked you and you had never expected a certain scene to happen for example…
