    Richard Burton is really handsome~~ But I prefer Henry II's performance, that kind of hysterical hysteria, and those azure blue eyes@.@And the accent of the 60s is so gentle. So gentle~~ Actually, this is a good film in general, but I have been focusing on the looks and accents of the actors, which dilutes the impression left by the meaning of the...

    It is epic in form, but only passable in content. First of all, the shooting is very imposing, and the picture and composition are very emotional. Secondly, the performances of the actors, especially Peter O'Toole, are too memorable. In contrast, Richard Burton has no impressive performances because he is too grand and has a high sense of resemblance with previous roles. The two of them are also full of sparks in the play. The word "love" alone, I don't know how many times I repeat it. Since I...

    Before watching the movie, I read the movie reviews, and when I saw other people commented that they were very emotional, I thought to myself that it would not be so open in 1964. It turns out that I was wrong, and my mistake was too outrageous...?? Look at Heng Er's crazy confession to Beckett in this movie, and look at the resentment of Heng Er's wife and mother, it turns out that I am too young (it seems that many of these earlier movies are very good. Angry, is it my...

    Big Love vs Little Love

    Henry II: Becket is my enemy. But on the scale of human nature, even if he is a traitor with nothing to spare like a newborn baby, he still weighs a hundred times more than you, madam, even if you add your phoenix crown, your jewels, and your uncle of Emperor Auguste. Now I am forced to fight him...

    Romance?

Becket quotes

  • Thomas a Becket: Lord Gilbert, Baron of England by the grace of his majesty, King Henry II, seized upon the person of a priest of the Holy Church and unlawfully did hold him in custody. Furthermore, in the presence of Lord Gilbert, and by his command, his men seized upon this priest when he tried to escape and put him to death. This is the sin of murder and sacrilege. In that Lord Gilbert has rendered no act of contrition or repentance, and is at the moment, at liberty in the land, we do, here and now, separate him from the precious body and blood of Christ, and from the society of all Christians. We exclude him from our Holy Mother Church and all her sacraments, in heaven, or on Earth. We declare him excommunicate and anathema. We cast him into the outer darkness. We judge him damned with the devil and his fallen angels and all the reprobate, to eternal fire and everlasting pain!

    [slams candle to the ground]

    Monks: [chanting] So be it.

  • Brother John: I don't mind if I am just a grain of sand in a machine. Because I know by putting more and more grains of sand in a machine, one day it'll come grinding to a stop.

    Thomas a Becket: And on that day - what then?

    Brother John: Well, we'll have a fine, new, well-oiled machine in the place of the old one. And this time we'll put the Normans into it instead. That's what justice means, doesn't it?
