Camelot Previously on ... I have not seen many series. Well, I was to speak in public and start seeing them. And is that vicissitudes of life I'm very busy, and I have many things to do, including the study, and as the poet said, there's nothing like having plenty to do for any bullshit you think an urgent duty. The fact is that apart from what you see on seriesyonkis.com in streaming, I've never seen next to Jude, the Vast Rome in original deuvedé; that's me gave the National Geographic (paying a modest charge). Meanwhile I have been following the first two seasons of The Tudors on public television, zillion years after the rest of the planet has already seen. Which by the way, TVE has been used to save the summer months until the return of its flagship product, Red Eagle , proving why this country is raising its head. The fact is that The Tudors takes historical licensing as Rome, but much more fat. In the same Wikipedia is a list . But I am not against certain freedoms in series, movies or novels. Are fictions, they seek to entertain, and it is convenient to pretend learn much from them, but it's better not take them too seriously, but one thing is certain, the better documented, more gustirrinÃn given. But I will not put green The Tudors, for his greatness, as in Rome, is that the licenses affect specific dates and characters, but noticeable enough historical background curro. So today I get to speak glowingly. Things I like to The Tudors:
Transition medieval-modern monarchy: at the beginning of the first season appears Buckingham, a pretty medieval noble who expected the king to restore order arbitration among his nobles, but if not, act on their own. His neck does not pass the second episode. Before So try to convince Boleyn to act against the powerful Chancellor Wolsey, but Boleyn know things are not like before, the best way to thrive is to gain the royal favor and put it in court against those who hinder you. The remaining plots are resolved within doors.
King "all? Although modern monarchies are known as absolute, and in theory the king answerable only to God, the truth is I had a lot of limitations, if not theoretical, if de facto addition, the court was full of currents and factions found that had the practical affairs of the kingdom. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (who plays damn right) Enrique VIII makes a policy that is like the backyard, in a very personal and authoritarian, but in practice, not even aware that he pushed around when they want (although this has its risks). The king does not know half the mass.
marriage policies: Rarely in the series are usually allowed to leave the issue of women in court that occupied the role of currency in international relations and political chicanery. Yes, women are central characters in each episode, but the reality is that the final decisions are made by others and they pay the consequences.
Treatment Reform: Roman Catholicism me gives me cramps, but no one knows the series very well what to think. The Pope (O'Toole) is more interested in bug that no one take the opposite in the grounds or not Henry VIII to divorce, but do not try to demonize Catholics, it is impossible not to feel sympathy for the queen Catherine Aragon, while the Protestant Reformation which was presented as a useful political tool, which by the way, some profit.
Empire: the English do not appear too (apart from Catherine and her daughter), but after seeing the movie clunkers as Elizabeth , expect to find what is usually the English Empire in the Anglo-Saxon product, a kind of villains subnormal and sad. Not here. The Queen is lovely, the scene with the first English ambassador that appears (Mendoza), dear, Carlos V is a guy majete and a sense of humor ... but when he plays are about as smart as bastards everyone in this series : if there is a conspiracy to conspire, and if you have to kill kills himself. Then there is the imperial ambassador, the Savoy Chapuys, my favorite child.
This woman
Maria Doyle Kennedy . Also have been Catherine of Aragon, is a singer and lived in Andalucia for a couple of years. And I find it a delight. In fact, stating my support officer if you want to usurp the throne of Spain. The image I have taken from his MySpace .
Things I dislike:
sex therapy. In Rome had enormous amounts of sex, but while important, was not foremost in the plot, the characters of Rome not moved even by wealth but by power and prestige. And the truth is that reflected very well the mentality Roman elite.
In The Tudor no. While watching The Tudors was flaky all the time the feeling that the fate of humanity depended critically on the crotch of the people of the court.
Vale ... a thing as a license, and another to the monumental gambazos : a plane whenever he leaves the Vatican see the beautiful Bernini colonnade in St. Peter's Square. Beautiful. If it was not when Henry VIII dies, Bernini not even born.
's it. Just one more thing. Any gain in squalor in the series with a soundtrack by Rick Wakeman . An objective fact is that everything is much better with Rick Wakeman and TUDOROCK! :
