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 completely? The last words he said before he died were impressive: "I was born a subject of a king, but I am a subject of God first." He is not very familiar with the history and religion in the film, so it looks a little boring. .

    Because watching Wolf Hall is in front, it is difficult to agree with Thomas Moore in the first half, especially his views. But in the second half, from his entry into the tower, to interrogation, visits, trials, submissions, and death, he is purely loyal to his soul and loves you so I hope you understand me, as well as the pleasing court debate, although from the narrative structure It looks strange, but it really changed my mind. The visitation section cried fiercely.

    The film highly revolves around Thomas More's persistence in faith, super-high rationality and wisdom. He wanted to use his wisdom to save his life, but he lost. On the guillotine he said: I died as a faithful servant of His Highness, but I am a faithful servant of God first. The movie editing is so clean that there is not a single extra word, not a single extra shot.
