APPROPRIATE PUBLIC: Young people
OUR OPINION: Our opinion: Exceptional work, winner of 6 oscars. This 1966 film is totally current, and tells us that the most sacred thing about man is conscience. All the problems of politics (corruption, greed, deceit, interests, bribes) that existed then and now are present, and it is the example of Saint Thomas More who can inspire us to know how to flee from temptations, and strive to achieve perfection and justice, even if it leads us to persecution and death, because what good is it for a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul?
SYNOPSIS DVD movie:
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
The story takes place in 16th century England. But men like Sir Thomas More, who love life yet have the moral fiber to lay down their lives for their principles, are found in every century. Concentrating on the last seven years of English chancellor's life, the struggle between More and his King, Henry VIII, hinges on Henry's determination to break with Rome so he can divorce his current wife and wed again, and good Catholic More's inability to go along with such heresy. More resigns as chancellor, hoping to be able to live out his life as a private citizen. But Henry will settle for nothing less than that the much respected More give public approval to his headstrong course.
