The style of this film is extremely concise

The film won an Oscar in 1966. At first, the filmmaker Columbia was not optimistic, which led to an extremely tight shooting budget. But the director still completed the production extraordinary. Several scenes are impressive, such as the scene where Moore meets his wife and daughter in the Tower of London, and the final meeting with Cromwell in court about whether "silence" means tacit consent or an answer to opposition. Reflects the characteristics of Moore, a Christian humanist who was born in law.

However, the scene in which Richard Ritchie accused Moore in the court should have been taken from the case of Ritchie's inducing confession to the Bishop of Rochester, John Fisher. Fischer also had an ambiguous attitude towards the Supreme Act. During his visit, Rich induced him to tell his true thoughts: The Supreme Act waited and declared that God was no longer God.

    A biographical story of a person who is not afraid of kingship and insists on justice and fairness. Even with such a great and wretched human nature, when there are various legalist and Sith cruelty brains, I feel that the kingship at that time still has principles and bottom lines, such as Although denying the male protagonist's right to silence, but giving him dignity, no torture, public trial and opportunity to express himself, is he more respectable and happy compared to the Fascist?

A Man for All Seasons quotes

  • Sir Thomas More: Listen, Meg, God made the angels to show Him splendor, as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But Man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of his mind. If He suffers us to come to such a case that there is no escaping, then we may stand to our tackle as best we can, and, yes, Meg, then we can clamor like champions, if we have the spittle for it. But it's God's part, not our own, to bring ourselves to such a pass. Our natural business lies in escaping. If I can take the oath, I will.

  • [after King Henry VIII leaves]

    Alice More: What's this? You crossed him?

    Sir Thomas More: Somewhat.

    Alice More: Why?

    Sir Thomas More: I couldn't find the other way.

    Alice More: You're too nice altogether, Thomas.

    Sir Thomas More: Woman, mind your house!

    Alice More: I am minding my house!
