      Thomas Moore’s choice: loyal to the king, but loyal to God first

      [I watched it more than two years ago, because my friend saw another similar "Strange Grace" today, so I thought of this one. The harvest of that summer, looking back now, is still a little far from the source of truth and life, and will experience the following late summer, late autumn and midwinter. ]


      On July 6, 471 years ago, Thomas More was killed.

      I only heard that the author of "Utopia" was killed by those in power. It was only a few weeks ago that I knew more...

      [Film Review] A Man for All Seasons (1966) 7.4/10

      An important lesson about going to the stake for one's indomitable faith, Fred Zinnemann's Oscar champ A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS makes for an illuminating viewing, preponderantly predicated on Paul Scofield's Oscar-winning performance of Sir Thomas More (1478-1535), an English lawyer , statesman and author (noted for his chef d'oeuvre UTOPIA), who opposed King Henry VIII's separation from the Catholic...

      A more malicious situation

      There are too many film and television works in the Henry VIII period. The British film "A Man For All Seasons" in 1966, the most unique thing is that it focused on capturing a complex and unspeakable situation. . Regarding this situation, we can start with the experience of Jesus in the Bible. When Lin Yutang talked about materialism in his book "From Pagan to Christianity", he quoted a sentence from Jesus: "Caesar's things belong to Caesar, and God's things belong to God." However, the...

      The overall thought of a man for all seasons

      The overall thought of a man for all seasons
      This was a touched movie. I am not familiar with the European history. Furthermore, I did not learn much about the religion history at that time. “Tragedy is moving because of the destruction of things is so good”. The movie tried to show an almost perfect person—Sir Thomas Moore. He was highly educated at that time. He was broad and profound. He was also agile and articulate. The movie depicted his virtue in many details: even if his servant...

      Sun Moon Jingzhong A Man for All Seasons (1966)—The 39th Oscar for Best Film

             Film tells that Thomas Moore faced a dilemma after becoming a judge. He had to make a choice between the king and the Roman Catholic Church. He chose to resign from the position of justice, hoping to live a peaceful life, so that he would not openly reject the king, and at the same time he could be worthy of his own heart. However, in the struggle between power and conspiracy, how could he retreat...

      2015: Not from the beginning, but still remember the integrity of the protagonist who strives for reason and does not give in. Die for faith, think of Becket, Agora and Hunger. It should be interesting to compare these four similarities and differences.

      No matter how firm the belief is, it is difficult to influence shameless behavior and purpose. Isn't this a failure of belief. Since faith can't overcome shameless behavior and purpose, and it is supported by means lower than faith, such as the law, is this not self-deception. Protecting one's own beliefs, but also understanding and accepting the beliefs of others, that is, Zeng Guofan's golden mean is the right...

      Ryosagosago Thomas More was famous for his classic work "Utopia", and he was executed in 1535 for opposing Henry VIII's concurrent appointment as head of the church. As a martyr among Catholics, he has very rarely achieved unanimous admiration from the left and the right, with the left discovering his communist ideals and the right his allegiance to Catholicism. The movie "Loyalty to the Sun and the Moon" is adapted from the real life of Thomas More, and restores the turbulent and confusing...

When he took the throne at the age of 18, he married Catherine, the widow of his deceased brother, but his wife gave him only one daughter, Mary, who died early in the next few children.

    Although the film is quite serious from the theme to the content, the two-hour length of the film still does not make the audience feel dull. In addition to being attractive to the protagonist’s characterization, it is also due to the fact that the director arranged a variety of overt or secret tricks in the process of telling Moore’s crimes, allowing the audience to see the terrible court conspiracy in the film, and increasing the The...
