    I love you, but you say that you love God more... The sadomasochism of the sickly king, even my mother and wife can't stand it anymore. Although it is not as good as the Winter Lion, it is still very good! After all, earlier than the winter...

    If it weren't for historical facts, I would have thought that the Four Horsemen couldn't understand the words of the king, and the author couldn't write about the fact that they went to the sanctuary to assassinate the archbishop... Henry had a kind of naive and magnanimous rudeness towards his friend Beckett, that's why he Will say "there are only two good people in...

    The lines are so wonderful. The acting is also superb. It's just that the plot is too unrealistic. But this is a movie, not a...

    The movie itself is a 3 star, and many of the emotional twists are blunt, adding a star for the wonderful performance of the two leading actors, especially Richard...

    In the 1960s, gay movies could not be accepted by the public and released on the big screen, so all the stories of same-sex love were packaged as good brothers, good comrades in arms, etc., and this film was no...

    which king are you? Henry III. I'm still alive! ——The women and children of Henry II’s family were noisy and ruthless characters, which made his friendship (?) with his minister Beckett especially precious. The plot of the movie is actually very simple. Henry II cooperated with the powerful minister Beckett to get back Norman. Later, in order to subdue the awkward Holy See, Henry II arranged for Beckett to succeed him as Bishop of Canterbury, which caused the two to split. The opening scene of...

    God and King, only one can be chosen

    Beckett is often not understood why he is so radically opposed to close friends.

    Beckett came from a commoner. When he was young, he was brought to Henry's side by the bishop because of his intelligence and ability. There is a type of person in this world who is smart, self-disciplined, principled...

    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...

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?
