No faces

It bugs me to see pictures of characters with no faces, I'm not certain if it's a style choice, or the artist doesn't think they can draw faces (or they want to avoid infringement issues when using an actors features on tee shirts) ... also images with no noses, particularly when Martin, Benedict and Mark have such fabulous probosci(s).
I haven't watched this in AGES, stars one of my all time fave actors Richard Burton and a young and startling good Genevieve Bijoud. It does help to know your history though, particularly in the case of Sir Thomas Moore. The film does a good job of helping you both sympathize (and hate) the main characters Anne and Henry VII.

I've always been attracted to historical dramas, not because I think people acted differently then, sure different motivations, dependent upon their beliefs and upbringing, but history always surprises you with it's amazing fantastic stories that are in the main part, true. Of course, now that I am older I realize that history is always mutable, and you find out more about the person telling it, than the characters in and of themselves.

Nope, haven't seen that film 'the other Boleyn girl' with Benedict Cumberbatch in a small role, maybe I will one day.
