A Man For All Seasons trailer

[claudiaclaudchuchuba]

Love Scofield! Always something happening behind his eyes. Unappreciated by Hollywood.

[nitanewsreader]

The best film about HenryVIII I've ever seen, and I've seen many. I loved the music, so regal!

[hunkallgood73]

When I was still under the influence of "god' & suffered from the mind-crippling disease known as 'Christianity' I watched this movie & truely admired Sir Thomas' steadfast position on the marriage he saw as immoral.I was moved by his resistance & his non-conformist towards the powers that be.But now years later I've finally seen the light & realized within myself that god cant possibly exist i see this film in a much different light.I find Thomas to be a deplorable self-serving/righteous fool

[animavivere]

@hunkallgood73

funny how you use a language that so resembles the language used by religious fanatics... but I don't hold that against you, you are entitled to your own opinion.

[hunkallgood73]

@animavivere And you sir are entitled to yours no matter how incoherent it may sound

[TheVaughan5]

Scofield's Thomas Moore must be one of the finest screen performances of all time. Unbelievable how the Hollywood studios (this was produced by Columbia) have degenerated since those days to purveyors of shit - obviously refelecting the society of the times.

[stijn404]

Are there any fights in the movie?



[nitanewsreader]

@stijn404 Verbal jousting, and very clever it is too

[alialsuhail]

von wem ist die musik , wo find ich diese ?

mir gefällt der sound der renaisance .

[alialsuhail]

fantastic movie !

but where we can find the orginal music ?

i like the sound of renaissance

[paljim24]

Excellent movie of an excellent play. Made with 'truth and honesty'; nonexistant in today's rubbish! Brilliant acting all round!

[BigDon62]

@paljim24 Only an Antipodean could play HviiiR with such gusto !

[BigDon62]

@paljim24 To keep my head, correction : make that Cromwell (aka Old Rumpole) Robert Shaw was a pom. ☺

[Ry112390]

Henry VIII was a great man. Fuck Thomas More.

[alialsuhail]

der beste  für korrekt umgesetzte musik für filme mit historischer handlung

ist jordi savall

[alialsuhail]

perfect  movie

[alialsuhail]

warum ist dieser film so genial ?

weil die musik, kleidung, örtlichkeiten historisch korrekt sind ,

passend zum zweiten viertel 16jh. + perfekte  darsteller !

leider wird in vielen sogenannten historischen filmen stümperhaft vertont,

musik sollte immer exakt zu zeitperiode passen!!!!

[blessOTMA]

I would love to be able to get the great Georges Delerue music from this wonderful film...

[bigderekkeene]

Interesting comment you make. The funny thing is though Jews were involed in the fate that befell Jesus, Russians and Germans did kill millions and Americans do kill and torture Iraqs!! So now that you adressed these facts why are so aprehensive in doing the same with the Vaticans crimes? I wholey accept there is evil in many places, but for the Vatican to commit those attrocities in ''Gods name'' is a grave evil indeed. Synagogue of Satan

[ImperialGuard9001]

@bigderekkeene Iraquis? Only how about the very land they are in righ now? Milions of Native Ameircans anyhow?

[troublesomecorsair]

Great.. bash the Vatican because some troll like your precious Jackthesmilingblack doesn't know what he's talking about. just great.. But I'll tell you what is great. This movie

[marym499]

Wow, Paul Scofield has such presence!! What a good actor.

[carital973]

The great actress VANESSA REDGRAVE starring Anne Boleyn, the mistress and then the new queen of England. Vanessa Redgrave did appear as Alice, Thomas More's wife in a 1988 remake.

[Jackthesmilingblack]

Thomas More: He put people on the rack for daring to own a Bible in English. He burned people at the stake for having a Bible in their own language. And in 2000, the Pope made him patron saint of politicians.

[mansfield1721]

The acting is only a mirror of the type of nobel man that was this great servant St. Thomas More of The One True God and his Holy Catholic Faith. I could only pray for half the Faith, courage, that he displayed in his life and in his manner of death.

"Of whom the world was not worthy"

Pray for us St. Thomas that we live our faith with charity and good cheer, and die a good death as you did. Help us to serve and glorify God in all we do and say.

[bigderekkeene]

@mansfield1721 You believe Thomas More a saint as the Vatican professes? Look at the comment above by Jackthesmilingblack. Hardly the acts of a saint are they. Men raise men as saints not God, and while there is not much wrong in the faith Catholics have in God there is much error in the Church of Rome. If a more vile and wholey evil organisation has ever existed on Gods earth then I am not familiar with it. Its own actions have proven how the word Holy should never be attributed to it.

[hammertapping]

@bigderekkeene your irrational ignorant hate against catholics is all we need to know about you.

have a long empty hate-spouting life!

[bigderekkeene]

@hammertapping If you had bothered to read the comment I left you would've come to the understanding that I dont hate Catholics at all. Unfortunately it would appear you were unable to acquire this knowledge from your firt attempt, would you care to go over the comment for a second time or would you rather not and remain as ignorant as you profess me to be?

[hammertapping]

@bigderekkeene i read it then and now and i am not wrong about your hatred of catholics . who according to to you belong to the most "vile and wholey evil organisation ...ever existed on Gods earth".

[bigderekkeene]

@hammertapping Perhaps then you could tell me how, just for starters, how crusade, war, subjigation, torture, inquisition, censorship, extortion, sectarianism, genocide, totalitarianism, child abuse, murder and execution can be considered Christian behaviours? After all they are all attributable to the Church of Rome.

[hammertapping]

@bigderekkeene u are now admitting what u denied 24 hrs before? that you spout hate against catholics.

typical.

you are free to believe that church was responsible for all that, same way you and other lazy and ignorant haters are free to believe that western civilization is responsible for all that, or that rational atheists who hated religion were responsible for biggest systematic mass murders ever committed, or that usa , uk (your place)are nations of of brutal imperialist torturers etc etc

[bigderekkeene]

@hammertapping I have not spouted any hate for Catholics at all. If a man believes he brings God into his life through that faith then i have no problem with that, i believe that doctrine to be wrong, but respect that that man believes it brings him to God. As for the Church itself, its nothing short of an abomination and its not a question of wether i 'believe' they are responsible for the things i mentioned, THEY DID COMMIT THOSE ACTS!! FACT!!

[hammertapping]

@bigderekkeene u say catholic church is an abomination & u say u are not spouting hate.lol. readers can judge.

-

what you do is attribute alleged actions of a few at various points of time( with different worldviews) to a broader group. only haters,racists, & other such low life,do that. it is similar to saying that jews killed jesus, russians/germans killed millions,americans torture and kill iraqs etc .

greatest genocides happened in uk colonies. by ur logic u from uk is a genocidal manic.

[rycecorl]

gay gay gay

[adrianofsaraujo]

The most beautiful movie that I know.

[skylur44]

I saw this when it first came out and I remember all of us and the audience being so deeply affected there was dead silence. It was, and is, the most moving film I have ever seen to this day, just incredible.

[fokjock]

Interestingly, John Wayne thought it was the best movue he had ever seen.

[skylur44]

@fokjock Wow, that is interesting and surprising; good for him!

[jkoff76]

People who are looking for an accurate portrait of Henry the VIII should do well to look at Shaw. He really captures the bovine, childlike bipolar nature of the sovereign.... you can why he was capable of so much violence.

[mgayford]

They do not make them like this anymore...

[apop99]

THIS MOVIE SUCKKKKKKSSS

[eyoutuby]

"THEY ARE TERRORS FOR CHILDREN MASTER SECRETARY. NOT FOR ME!!!!!"

WOW!!! What a performance. I have found one of my favorite films of all time. I have watched it six times in a row now.

[blackhawck70]

This type of film making and this kind of actors are extinct. There is no soul in cinema now.

[CHANNELOMD]

Great Post great film thank you only a complete moron would find this film lacking in any way.A bit like the moronic king in Amadeus who claimed Mozarts music had"too many notes"

[kingreenbean]

wait... how many oscars did it win again?

[ntherewas1]

haha

[PaterEngelbert]

This film is great! It is my favourite film. Sadly, Paul Scofield died last year!

[0casteloencantado0]

BAD!

I couldn't watch the entire movie. It is so boring and has such a lack of any kind of passion that it's very hard to get through the coldness of it all. They just talk, talk, talk, talk. And I don't mind that, really. But the things they talk about are just not that interesting.

If someone hears the story, it looks juicy, but when you get to see the movie... well, it's a pointless bore that reveals no emotion.

I'll try it later.

[quicklyintothevoid]

stop trying to pretend your some expert film critic.

[0casteloencantado0]

erm... film critics are people with opinions that are paid. I have opinions but i'm not paid.

and i have seen tousands of movies, so... i guess i have some qualification.

and just because people say good things about the movie it means they aren't pretending their film critics?

snap out of it, bitch!

[0casteloencantado0]

and, by the way, i've watched it a second time and i could appreciate the sreenplay although it still looked cold to me, especially in the courtroom scene, where we don't feel a thing for his condemnation.

does that make me less of a critic? now that i like it a bit better?

[nef2442]

"When a man makes a promise, he puts himself into his own hands, like water. And if he opens his fingers to let it out, he need not hope find himself again." One of the coolest quotes from The Man For All Seasons....

[alanpruitt1]

Paul Scofield= one of the best actors of History

[MassCityGent]

Someone please repost the opening sequence.

[CashMoneyMoore]

OK... we get it. Six academy awards...

[Charusho]

I just ordered this film, I wont get it for some time but it shall serve me well during the year.

[javacola25]

Anyone know where I can watch this online for free? I need to by tomorrow.

[jessdelta]

i'm studying this book for school this year, need to watch the film to gain another perspective!

[Charusho]

Likewise.

[cblanc10708]

an iconic performance by Paul Scofield..

[ludachris475]

This is a rendering of one of my favourite books of all times.

[CILDAD]

Paul Schofield has had an enormous influence on many people's lives. He is untouchable.

SHALOM

[tubage07]

This film beautifully portrays the crises of conscience we all face as we go through our lives.

[miehaed]

:\ god i dont like that movie. or play.

[54spiritedwill54]

A wonderful trailer for a great film! Many thanks! The score by Georges Delerue is a tiny gem.

[skylur44]

"I die the King's good servant-

But God's first."

[Erkeengel]

Man I love this film, and the likes of "Becket" , "Lion in the winter" , "Lawrence of Arabia" ,"Dr Zhivago" etc..they never make them like this anymore.

If I ever have children I hope to god I can raise them with these movies rather then the abundant cr$p we see nowadays, not only knowing that they see some of the greatest movies ever made, but that they hopefully can learn a thing or two about human nature while doing so.

[alfriendo2008]

Well said. The films today (a few aside)sadly lack the epic nature of the films you list.

Long live ROBERT BOLT!

[BillyL96]

Do you agree that this film has not aged well at all? Also that Richard Burton should have won Best Actor insted of Scofield and that this shouldn't have won Best Picture, but "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" should have?

[lostatsea775]

Paul Scofield - May he R.I.P. a remarkable performance- the best in my opinion - this is one of my favourite films - excellent soundtrack and amazing cast!

[Peffry]

This is one of the greatest films that won Best Picture. What a marvelous film. I first watched it when i was six and have loved it ever since. If my house was burning i would take that DVD with me. It is a marvelous film. Paul Scofield. R.I.P.

[BillyL96]

Are you serious? "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" should have won Best Picture that year, and Richard Burton as well. How could this typical "Oscar's movie" with stupid outfits and shit lose to Virginia Woolf? It's one of the best films of all time, and no one even remembers this trash.

[Peffry]

Screw you Fag. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is a good movie but a man for all seasons is perfect and you can go and fuck yourself if you think Virginia Woolf is beter!

[BillyL96]

Whoa, calm down! So i'm a fag cause i like Virginia Woolf better? Do you understand what you write? Get a life.

[mickh18]

A Man For All Seasons isn't trash, it's a wonderful movie and deserved its oscar, just beacuse you don't like it doesn't make it a bad movie.

[BillyL96]

That was a little harsh, but let's be serious-" Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" was/is the superior film that deserved Best Actor (Richard Burton) and Best Picture.

[jjj1951]

Why can't films like this get made anymore? When I was a teenager I saw this film, Lawrence of Arabia, The Lion in Winter, etc.

[toonged]

A great man,played by a truly great actor.RIP

[Erkeengel]

Great movie with a fabulous Scofield.

Sorry to hear about his death.

Scofield, Burton, Olivier, Mason, Gielgud...all gone, not many of the greats left.

We still got O`Toole though :-)

[field17]

This was indeed a giant of a film about a colossus of a man. I will always regard Paul Schofield's performance as Thomas Moore asthe definitive article. I doubt that we shall see his equal in the part. RIP

[Candlelightz10]

Scofield is dead

[littlemisssunnydale]

I can't believe it. He was a wonderful actor. I think it is appropriate that I do some sort of tribute to him by featuring clips of his outstanding performance as Thomas More.

[sherrilina]

I know, I heard today--so sad, he was an amazing actor and the definitive Sir Thomas More. Such a well-deserved Best Actor award! You should do a tribute, I'd love to see that! It's one of my fave movies....

[littlemisssunnydale]

My tribute is up. I've posted clips of his amazing performance as More.

[Candlelightz10]

ok man, good idea! you dont remember to say us when you up the video tribute.

[mrsmarmite]

I just want to say thank you so much for posting all these videos relating to the Tudor period. It is one area of history which I find fascinating.

[littlemisssunnydale]

Thank you for the comment! Glad you enjoy the vids!

[Maithagat]

A wonderful trailer for a great film! Many thanks! The score by Georges Delerue is a tiny gem.

[sherrilina]

I know, the music is wonderful, isn't it? In itself and as far as setting the Tudor mood...

[Eudora74]

Brilliant film, wonderful actors, magnificent script, superb Paul Scofield.

[littlemisssunnydale]

I agree on all accounts :)
