This was one of my favorite movies growing up. The rapid fire repartee left me longing for subtitles or pause and rewind buttons before I even knew what they were; thats how much I hungered to know exactly what was said. Repeated viewings ensured eventual clarity; living in the Catholic city of St. Louis one was sure to catch this on late night reruns several times a year. The book is a quick read. I polished it off in two long sittings, but will read it again. I gobbled it this time, partiallyI'm currently listening to Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and will have to re-read this play as well.I know I loved it on first read many, many years ago, but I may re-evaluate.
A great classic, worth the read. We know how the story ends, and this one is a good depiction of the conflict between power --how arbitrary it can be-- and principle, in the face of all sorts of social pressure.
Best. Play. Maybe Ever. Sir Thomas More was a man of principles inviolable, (view spoiler)[ and for such would he meet his doom (hide spoiler)]. He was a family man, a religious man - Saintly, even - and could not be tricked, bullied, or altogether coerced to break an oath he had made in good faith, even at the behest of Henry VIII.Robert Bolt's introduction to the play enriches the entire experience. We get to understand why More's story was so compelling to him, and what he hoped to achieve
I love St. Thomas More but I generally detest reading plays so I wasn't quite sure of how I would feel about it. Thankfully, it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable school books in a long time. It was meaningful and ponderous, but witty all the same throughout. And I loved the idea of the Common Man, and how he tied most of the scenes together. Though I am still unsure why plays are published as books when they should obviously just be watched like they were meant to be...
A very fast read; I managed to read it all in between loads of laundry. I would love to see this on the stage. I feel like the playwright captured Moore and Cromwell's positions and reputed attitudes very well. This is one of my favorite periods of history, and I never get tired of it. 3.5 rounded up.2018 Popsugar- A book that is also a stage play or musical.
