Review of A Man for All Seasons (1966) by Brian B — 17 Mar 2015
This film has s beautiful message that should be noticed, pondered on, and then incorporated into each and every person's life. Even the smallest scenes and seemingly unimportant dialogue are powerful and shows the importance of words and incorporating the knowledge of the good in a person's every day actions.
The value of life and the dignity of every person protected under the law is something that our country has failed to uphold on many occasions. Our response to it should be exactly as Scofield portrays in this film, as upholding our own life as the example and defense of human dignity.
In my opinion Scofield and Zinnemann have recaptured the timeless values that we take for granted in the life of this saint. They also point at the dangers of not taking the law and government as something that we are a part of and may affect our conscious.
I would recommend this movie to anyone that is seeking a way of living out truth in their lives.
