He refused to recognize the high court of justice, and did not make a defense. Although only minority wanted his trial, he failed to recognize that this minority had the power to determine his fate.

Was so intriged by the film, I went looking for a copy to buy here in the U.S. NOBODY sold it at all, so I ordered a DVD of it sent to me from the U.K.. When I got it, it wouldn't play in my DVD player because it's on a different format. So I took it to a local video producer and he was able to burn a copy of it to a disk that would play in my DVD player.

The lead up to the ... By: renideo. on 25 Oct 09, 02:38:59 The lead up to the war was complex and long in coming. It involved questions of law, taxation and religion, as well as those of base politics and personality.
And it was a bloody, terrible conflict in which the king was a belligerent. That does not make cromwell a saint. All these events did foreshadow the english bill of rights and the act of settlement, which were to follow much later and that is the greater good to arise from them.

That movie with Alec Guiness (was it called "Cromwell"?) was an abhomination of historical detail.
I haven't seen "To Kill A King" but I wonder if it is any better.
From this scene, no. Cromwell was not present at the execution. The People could not see it because the dais was surrounded by soldiers. Yes people objected. God on earth? Not likely.
How about "Behold, the Head of a Traitor!"

I completely agree. ... By: THughes917. on 26 Jun 09, 18:19:09 I completely agree. Charles Stuart was an amazing man who only wanted the best for his kingdom. He loved his kingdom and worked for it. He also loved his wife, a Catholic, and because of her faith Parliament turned against him. Those men who condemned him were evil and should have been in his place that day. Charles Stuart the 1st of England was a saint.

Dood, if only the Roundheads had a Death Star, the English Civil War would have been a lot shorter. I mean, that would totally be some New Model Army shit. Of course the Roundheads were fighting to establish the Republic, so the Star Wars analogy might just fall apart at some point.

The "King" is Jesus Christ King of Kings! Charles Stewart was the temporal king in his absence.... Hence the Phrase "God save the King!" Jesus preached Love as the highest Law... this Law makes the King and not the king makes the Law...

@recessionlover I'm ... By: MouYijian. on 27 Apr 10, 14:15:01 @recessionlover I'm not British, so please consider my opinion cum grano salis. This actor employs a slight Scottish accent added to a substantially Standard British pronunciation; but that is a pro, not a con, if you consider that James WAS actually born and raised in Scotland. Secondarily, English pronunciation at that time was nearer to modern Scottish accent than you might expect, including rolled R's and peculiar vowels. There is nothing certain about it, but many elements suggest so.

What happened to that incident when the silver head fell off his cane? King Charles also gave a better account of himself than in this scene, and made the regicides look like a bunch of idiots, which they were.

One thing people must do is put themselves into the mindset of those who lived in different ages. We cannot impose our present morals and beliefs on those who lived centuries ago. They existed lived in a whole different world.
@Cissy2cute You are ... By: nellgwen48. on 30 May 10, 16:31:37 @Cissy2cute You are correct about Alexandra but when you are a Tsar and a relative of queen Victoria and Kaiser Wilhelm you should be able to read the writing on the wall. Especially with a political assassination which causes WW1. Otherwise who ties his shoes. A good series to watch is called The Fall of Eagles. It's all about the relationship between Russia, Germany and Austria at this time. Patrick Stewart plays Lenin. I want to find a good series on Charles 11.
@nellgwen48 True, ... By: Cissy2cute. on 30 May 10, 13:36:57 @nellgwen48 True, but in his case it was Alexandra who was pushing Nicholas to hold his ground as the divinely appointed ruler of Russia. Poor Nicholas was never born to rule--shy, retiring, and even terrified of having to be Czar. Alexandra really was the "power behind the throne". He was definitely the wrong man at a time when a very strong Czar was needed.
Charles I, according to Clifford Brewer in "The Death of Kings" postulates Charles I suffered from a severe delusional disorder.

There is more to this of course but basically that's what happened.

Cromwell created ... By: guardianangel10. on 15 Nov 09, 16:51:03 Cromwell created the first and only military dictatorship in England after swearing that he wanted to return power to the people and out of the hands of corrupt leaders. He persecuted Irish Catholics and helped to create the animosity between the two countries that still exists today. Cromwell was a fanatical dictator, why else do you think they still have to hide his damn head?
Why must Tim Roth ... By: Tillyvalle. on 03 Nov 09, 10:25:39 Why must Tim Roth portray Cromwell as a psycopath? Love him or hate him Cromwell was NOT a psycopath! Charles I lost his lifetime stutter and spoke clearly and eloquently at his trial. What a terrible film!
Yes. Nice to see ... By: recessionlover. on 24 Oct 09, 18:51:59 Yes. Nice to see the arguments put forward at the trial by the king given an airing. Pity it was all ruined by that nonsense at the end.
Everett SUCKS! ... By: papalosopher. on 18 Sep 09, 14:16:40 Everett SUCKS! Roth is not much better. Charles and Cromwell were both fifty year old men when this happened.
What REALLY happened at the trial, what Fairfax's wife (supposedly) REALLY did... that would have been amazing to see. Charles poking solicitor-general Cooke with his cane... and the silver TIP falling off... Mrs. Fairfax Shouting "He has better sense than to be here!" when they asked why Fairfax was away.
But no. They have to give Cromwell a bigger role than he had.

The tender depiction of our great monarch in his final hours was, in a word, breath taking. I especially like his slow progress toward his final position, it was so wonderfully drawn out and poignant.
I might recommend a little musical score, but, the silence is so poetic I hesitate to press for it. Remarkable.

The poor girl went on a daytrip to France and got caught in the French Revolution's guillotine. Cleopatra was not from Eygpt. She was a salty sexy lass from Dublin, Ireland. Charles I was not beheaded. He went to Walmart and used their fucking cheap razors and used it too quickly. St Joan and her Arc sank in the floods. History is truly amazing!

I live near williamsburg which makes a big cheezy deal of british colonialism, so i was poking fun at that. I don't know about you, but personally, i'm not a big fan of imperialistic aristocracy and how ridiculously vain and gay people of such "class" could be, so i was making fun of that too. I know that english people aren't really like that. If you were to make fun of president bush as a redneck eating a rare steak listening to country music, i'd be right behind you
Ive got some ... By: xanderxine. on 13 Jul 08, 16:09:57 Ive got some crumpets here! they are nice toasted on one side and spread with slightly salted butter. I like them but strangely enough not many English people actually eat them so fuck only knows where Americans get their views of other countries from? maybe is because they are all FAT CUNTS who cant move from their computers or TV's?
i was making fun of ... By: pimpivanho. on 25 Apr 08, 06:00:09 i was making fun of american stereotypes of british culture. I too am sick of americanized "british costume dramas". Not only were there british stereotypes, there were also scottish stereotypes. I know this film is absurd and stereotypical, but at this point in my high school education, i was bored with the material we were covering, so i was taking a stab at it through this medium. I am aware of the lack of crumpets in british culture these days.

What is this ... By: maureenOWW. on 25 Apr 08, 00:35:41 What is this obsession americans have with british people eating crumpets? I've lived in england for 30 years and I've never eaten a crumpet, and I've never seen anything that looks like what you call an 'english crumpet'. They just don't EXIST in england. I mean, if someone said they were 'having crumpets' you'd look at them like they were insane. Maybe people used to eat them in about 1900, but I've never eaten one, seen one on a menu, or in fact seen someone else eating one. IT'S A MYTH.

It was his principles and personality that sent him axe, due to his strong belief in the divine right of kings he acted extremely arrogantly when it came to his trial. He refused to recognize the high court of justice, and did not make a defense. Although only minority wanted his trial, he failed to recognize that this minority had the power to determine his fate.

By: BlindingSteph. on 01 Sep 08, 08:20:35
