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. .
