He demands that the Lord Chancellor of England, Paul Scofield playing Thomas More, sign a letter to the Pope declaring the marriage annulled. The story in A Man For All Seasons: Henry VIII, the famous murdering piece of shit, wants a annulment from Catherine of Aragon so he can marry Anne Boleyn.
Like The Crucible, A Man For All Seasons involves a man who just needs to sign his name and life would go on relatively normally. Like The Crucible, A Man For All Seasons is about a man's journey to hold on to his integrity. Like The Crucible, A Man For All Seasons was first a play. Like The Crucible, A Man For All Seasons is based on a real story. Paul Scofield was the lead in A Man For All Seasons, Best Picture winner of 1966 and a movie that barely gets noticed anymore. Judge Thomas Danforth, the man in the funny hat demanding the signature, the man you just want to beat the ever loving shit out of during the movie, is played by Paul Scofield. His kids would live with the stigma, etc etc. But he's a man of integrity, he will not lie. To plead guilty would be to avoid execution. In this unbelievably great scene, as depicted in the Arthur Miller play/movie The Crucible, all Proctor has to do is sign his name and he's free. They even executed his wife after waiting for her to give birth.
More: And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?įor those who don't know: Daniel Day Lewis played John Proctor, a real world figure (although 60 in real life) who was executed for practicing witchcraft in Salem in 1692. I'm not a scholar, I don't know whether the marriage was lawful or not but– dammit, Thomas, look at these names! Why can't you do as I did and come with us, for fellowship! The Duke of Norfolk: Oh confound all this.
