I have just watched the DVD entitled The Other Boleyn Girl. At the end is this statement.
"This is a work of fiction. The characters and locations portrayed and the names herein are fictitious, and any similarity to or identification with the location, name, character or history of any person, is entirely coincidental and unintentional"
Maybe I have missed something, but how can it be coincidental and unintentional, when people like King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon and others are portrayed and their history reenacted.
I can see that most of the dialogue is fictitious, as nobody could know the words actually spoken at any given time, but incidents such as Henry`s marriage to Catherine, then to Anne and her subsequent execution are historical events.
Rather than being described as Fiction, wouldn`t the term, Dramatised History be more fitting?.
I really enjoyed this film both times I have watched it 🙂
I suppose some of it has not been ....... can't think of the word at the moment 
Funnily enough this just popped up on FB - had to share!
Some of the characters are fictitious and of course we don't know what most of what was said as it is not recorded (apart from the trial of Anne Boleyn). At least is bears some resemblance to history unlike the tv series "The Tudors" which was history but not as we know it!
