"Becket" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we watch King Henry II of England giving power to his best friend Thomas Becket. As time passes Becket finds his true honor and wants to be correct since he now believes more to God than to his own King.
I liked this movie because it is based on true events, Peter O'Toole makes one his best interpretations and the direction is also very good. Despite that, I have to say that "Becket" is a bit tiring movie since it's almost two and a half hours and in some points it was boring. Regarding the interpretations, I have to admit that the interpretations of both Richard Burton's who played as Becket / Thomas Becket and Peter O'Toole's who played as King Henry II were simply amazing and they were both outstanding. Lastly, I recommend everyone to watch this movie because it is good, interesting, a bit overrated but it's fine by me and it worth's your time since you are going to watch an amazing interpretation by Peter O'Toole.
