St. Thomas Becket was a great saint because he turned from the princes of the world and toward God--Christ. He is very much to be admired in this secular age.

Good movie (even if it does take a few historical liberties), good music and good video.

by the way Liam, since my first post on this video and your reply, I have DL'd much more of E.S. Posthumus' music (yes, legally) because of your use of Ulaid here. Thanks for introducing me to the brothers Vonlichten.

In intro to his play "Becket," on which the film is based, Jean Anouilh tells of giving his finished play to a historian friend to read, who then tells him he's got the heritage wrong. Anouilh writes: "A large part of the subject of my play was based on the fact that Becket was of a vanquished race. ... for this drama, it was 1000 times better that Becket remained a Saxon." Footnote in George Greenaway's bio: Thomas' parents from Rouen & Caen, "both Normans" and middle-class citizens of London.

did king Henry II ever regret that he made a mistake turning his friend Thomas Becket to become an archbishop of Canterbury?
that question make my head spin all the time... @.@ >.>

The relationship between King Henry II and Thomas Becket somehow reminds me of the relationship between Capt. James Kirk and Dr. McCoy.

"If all the swords in England were pointed against my head, your threats could not move me" (Thomas Becket to his murderers)
I wonder if those who did the act ever had the courage to question Henry II before it was done?

@Winaska Makes no difference if was Saxon or Norman he was a good man regarless but appears that most evidence points out today that he was probaly a Norman
-
@animegirlUK An even more apt comparison is to compare Henry II and Thomas Becket with Henry VIII and Thomas More. Both St. Thomas Becket and St. Thomas More were Chancellor of England, both had the favor of the King, and both put God and His Church before that favor, finding martyrdom. May both saints bless us.

Psalm 118
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Burton & O'Toole at their finest. Fell in love with Rich the first time I saw the film on public TV in the 1980s in the U.S. Thanks for posting this ... I'm in the middle of watching the movie on my iPod at work on Becket's feast day. What's the music you used here? Peace, pb
