The Lion in Winter evaluation action

This film is a palace drama with very strong and distinct characters, and it deeply portrays the desire for power of human beings. Peter Seamus Lorcan O'Toole and Katharine Houghton Hepburn bring that love-hate relationship to the fore and are the most bewildering "war couple" on screen. The writing, directing, filming, and music of this film are all top-notch, but unfortunately there are too many dialogues.   But this ancient costume film with a strong literary flavor has too many dialogues, too much like a drama.

    There are almost no extra shots or any sloppy editing on the editing, of course, such efficient characterization and a few good actors also contributed to it. The first hour or so was the most exciting when everyone tried each other's quarrels, but after showing their cards in the middle, they didn't maintain the intensity. "We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside." Ugh…

    I found this old movie just to see what Hopkins looked like when he was young. The old couple is so capable of fighting, they are simply fighters in the husband and wife. Hopkins is 30 years old and 70 years old is really not much different, except for less wrinkles, banning old actors have this feature.

The Lion in Winter quotes

  • Henry II: I'm villifying you for God's sake - pay attention!

  • Eleanor of Aquitaine: And when you die, which is regrettable but necessary, what will happen to frail Alais and her pruny prince? You can't think Richard's going to wait for your grotesque to grow.

    Henry II: You wouldn't let him do a thing like that.

    Eleanor of Aquitaine: Let him? I'd push him through the nursery door.

    Henry II: You're not that cruel.

    Eleanor of Aquitaine: Don't fret. We'll wait until you're dead to do it.

    Henry II: Eleanor, what do you want?

    Eleanor of Aquitaine: Just what you want, a king for a son. You can make more, I can't. You think I want to disappear? One son is all I've got, and you can blot him out and call me cruel? For these ten years you've lived with everything I've lost, and loved another woman through it all, and I am cruel? I could peel you like a pear and God himself would call it justice!
