Invoking the Boogieman, the Holy Moley or whatever you want to call it. Peter OToole and Richard Burton, what a combo.

Spoiler; the King wins. He declares "It's great to be King" but in a different movie.

He loses his best friend when his loyal hounds cut Beckett down in the cathedral but he gets lashed publicly in atonement - doesn't bring his friend back and he is miserable under the responsibility of being king.

@SnowyOwl You should watch The Lion In Winter. Same King.

@rainmanjr I've seen it a couple of times, not many movies that have Peter O'Toole in them that I haven't seen.

@SnowyOwl He lost no friend. He boxed in an adversary and then had him killed when he found a way out of that box. He hardly seemed miserable at the end of LIW when he shouts that it's "Great to be King."

@rainmanjr

@rainmanjr And that is what it is to lose a friend that you hold dear but politics and power overwhelm you.

@SnowyOwl Kings have no friends.

Rulers and Priests know the power of superstition and they use it to maintain their power over the weak minded and the ignorant.

It is Richard Burton in a funny hat.

And his staff.

The crashing dramatic musical chords coming out of nowhere are hilarious

I had forgotten the extra drama older movies provided with their music. Thanks for reminding me.

Should have just run him through.

They do, eventually.

Priests and nuns once had me terrified.

Different priests and nuns now terrify other children. Will their PTS last as long as mine has?
