Anne vs. Mary of The Other Boleyn Girl Even though the movie The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) looks like it describes some historical events‚ it demonstrates an eternal rivalry that exists between two opposite kinds of women who try to gain a man’s attention and love. In this era of England’s history‚ women were not very favorable in the society. They were inferior to men and had to obey their parents without question.

Some people argue that artists sometimes inherit similar but different qualities which may set them apart or bring them to be very alike.
