A Man For All Seasons - Clip "Give The Devil Benefit Of Law"

There's a wonderful documentary on Youtube about Scofield that was done by BBC's Arena documentary unit. It's got John Hurt, Vanessa Redgrave and others. It's strangely moving and can be found on Eurocine's channel.

Historians should not dislike this movie based on the supposed inaccuracy because the playwright is not trying to do history or present a biography of More. Rather, as an existentialist, the playwright's point is the primacy of conscience. Which actually is a basis for a real criticism of the play. That is, it's message is "decide what you are according to your conscience and be that thing to the fullest." But why shouldn't that apply to everything like, say, being a Klansman?

Many historians don´t like this movie/book because it is in some ways not representing of More´s personality. The most important thing is that this movie fails to show More´s darker side. This movie, though a great, is somehow misleading when one wants to judge seriously Thomas More. More was a very complex man and we could call him a man for all seasons but not using nowadays context and ideals but then time´s. Besides being a man for all seasons More was a man of his time

An idealization of a man to explore the importance of identity and retaining a 'sense of self'.
