Best Picture Award - A Man for all Seasons

This movie was the 1966 Best Picture Academy Award winning movie.  A movie that depicts the struggle between Henry the Eighth in England and one of his close friends.  In the end the friend is imprisoned and beheaded for his failure to sign an oath to the king.  I had trouble understand some of the dialogue due to the accents and the plot was hard to follow, although in the end I figured it out.  I’m not sure this movie is worth watching.

A Man for All Seasons Not sure where the title came from.  In one scene when the friend was in jail the story showed a tree changing through all of the different seasons.  I guess the title could also reference the fact that the friend was steady in his belief system-even though he lost everything by holding on to it. 

39 Best Picture movies seen.  Only 41 left to see.
