Review of Becket (1964) by Kim B — 27 Jul 2015
Wow what performances from the two leads! O'toole again performs larger than life and is great fit for this role. I can definitely relate to the hurt of a great friendship ending and o'toole performed this well.
The movie script was very biting and there were some great lines; however I wasn't familiar with all the religious vocab so that was annoying and it was very fast dialogue too-sheesh. That being said I loved the drama and how he found a cause worthy of honor in the end.
I'm glad he found his own strength finally thru God. Some parts were a little dated like the split screen of one character against the backdrop of the other. Interesting historical film, long but doesn't seem so.
