YouTube - Abridged Classics: The Tudors
I am so addicted to this video right now. I haven't seen the show yet (gonna finish reading "Lady Elizabeth" by Weir first) but the song is awesome, and the flashing STRAIGHT is just farking hilarious!
I'm actually playing it AGAIN, while I type this!!
yes, Ima double post this into the bulletin too. EVERYONE HAS TO WATCH THIS.
The neighbors must hate me right now :D I know Hubby would if he were here!
Ok, I saw this and had to add a little to my bitching.
"No one knows what authentic is, anyway." Are you kidding? If I can point out a TON of sweaty, hockeypad-clad, beer-making, stolen-stop-sign-for-a-shield barbarian, who knows how to sew, and can tell you what Tudor Period Garb looks like, then you Madame, are a moron.
BESIDES the fact that from the Tudor House ALONE we have a crapton of portraits displaying authentic and stylized Tudor/Elizabethan 16th Century clothing, there are actual articles of this clothing in MUSEUMS. We KNOW what they wore. We may have had some problems piecing together the 14th CENTURY, but as the centuries went on less and less articles and information is lost.
"Portrait of Henry VIII after Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8-1543).
The Royal Collection © 2009, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II" We still HAVE these things! There's no excuse to fake clothign unless you're just being lazy.
We won't talk about the clothing in the show The Tudors. I haven't seen it yet, but I've seen some images, and read some awesome opinions by a Garber here: http://glvalentine.livejournal.com/172714.html
This page is awesome, but its about the reuse of costumes, not authenticity: http://www.costumersguide.com/reused_tudor.shtml

"To make this series more relatableto a modern audience, none of the male actors wore wigs or codpieces, despite that fact that men of this era wore longer hair and the ridiculous clothing appendage. The producers unanimously ruled them out." No Codpeices??
Bergin says : "Henry was a Rock Star of his time. so we use a lot of leather and a lot of fabrics which are almost modern. The cut of the collar is high and flattering, with garments cut close to the body to accentuate his physique. He was the Mick Jagger of his day" I kinda hate this woman.

Eric Bana appears as Henry VIII in the film with Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn. Ms. Powell says she was concerned with historical detail, but only up to a point. “You always have to use artistic license,” she says. “You can never be strictly authentic, and besides, no one knows what authentic is, anyway.”
