An intelligent historical movie that was sadly a box office failure. Its leads, Scott and Roth, don`t look much like Fairfax and Cromwell but act very well. If you really want to see King Charles I on screen look no further than Sir Alec Guinness`s performance in :Cromwell", a fine tuned portrayal that is uncannily accurate.
Too right, they don't much look like Fairfax and certainly not like Cromwell. One cannot understand or separate Cromwell from his Biblical convictions.
Having just watched this, its a bag of crap historically...the trial took 10 days and Charles was only present for the charges being read out...Cromwell did not give a speech outside the Banqueting House and was not elected Protector until 1653...there was no assassination attempt at his investiture etc. etc.
@@MrBrutal33 You are right this was crap. Its a sad waste because the sets, production values etc were good & Tim Roth is a great actor IMO. I am also not sure Cromwell was as homicidal as this movie makes out although our Irish friends may disagree LOL.
🇬🇧 I Like this film it gives an accurate😢 historical account of the events that actually to place in historey between Oliver Cromwell And King Charles great performances and direction great movie
Purely entertainment but I love history! 84 yrs old and I want to see our country in a better place. I believe a County is a Republic like Rome. England should never let the Royals back after Charles 1 was gone.the Republic of England sounds good.😮
Charles I , file a FOIA request with the House of Parliament, do not answer any questions, do not consent to a search of your person or the royal Treasury, appeal your case to higher court!
Film dobrze zrealizowany. A tak na marginesie: król Karol I nie był wysokim mężczyzną, jak aktor go grający. W rzeczywistości król miał 163 cm. wzrostu i był najniższym królem w dziejach Anglii i Szkocji. To gwoli faktu historycznego. My, Polacy też mieliśmy małego króla, zwał się Władysław Łokietek z dynastii Piastów. Był jeszcze niższy. Też jedyny w swoim rodzaju.
I hate to say this but I think the Brits need to revisit their past and look up this time in history? To see what Starmen is doing in the name of Parliament today betrays all of England, and he needs to be removed?
As history this is conjecture apart from the basic facts of Charles I execution, the Protectorate and the existence of the principal characters. This would not matter so much had the dialogue been crisp and meaningful, but it wasn't. Cromwell has all the charisma of a schoolmaster who's lost control of his class. Anne Fairfax (about which next to nothing is known, but beautiful she wasn't!) had no direct contact with Charles I beyond being removed from the gallery at his trial for shouting 'It's a lie!". Olivia Williams, the actress who plays her would have been more suited to a Jane-Austen novel (she played Jane Fairfax, no relative, in Emma!). Fairfax, historically, was instrumental in restoring the monarchy under Charles II, the executed king's son, after the death of Cromwell. The horrors of war and human nature come in for the usual handwringing sentimentality. In trying to be history, romance, drama and a contemporary commentary on human nature the film completely loses its way. It has been rightfully condemned to the dustbin.

So your God is better than their's a argument as backward and old as time. And what about the guillotine and Napoleon. The 🇫🇷 should not lecture anyone. 😅😂😅
Why is Elizabeth I even mentioned in the logline? This film concerns people and events which occurred more than 50 years after her death! Otherwise an excellent film.
for my country thailand or former siam, the king and always controlled their subjects or lords...because the king himself was always former lord who had the great wealth and men power...
It's a simple concept. All Englishmen are subject to English law. If the King is an Englishman he is therefore subject to English law. If he is not subject to the law, he cannot have any legal claim to kingship.
Then how did we get Charles the II. Cromwell was a tyrant. The parliament righted it's wrong with the restoration. Then re fouled it with the "inglorious" revolution. Charles the first was King by God's will. Regicide was committed to satisfy the fears of certain financial interests.
Yes I can, from a purely historical perspective, no one dragged Jesus to the cross but the Romans. It Roman law he was convicted for-sedition. Sedition was the only crime for which crucifixion could be used under Roman law. Do you really think Rome would let their subjugated peoples carry out Roman matters of law? It’s BS is what I’m saying. He was found guilty of sedition and crucified, end of story. In fact this is the one thing about Jesus that we actually have a historic record for. Other than that he is whatever anyone wants to imagine him to be.
Let's not talk what Cromwell did in Ireland against the majority Catholic population the greatest land confiscation since Norman invasion leaving a legacy of bitterness for generations! Leave comments no censorship.
You're right, let's not talk about it. The royalist troops ravaged my city in 1644 and murdered and violated the townspeople, but I don't keep whining about it 500 years later!
Lets not talk about portadown either...or the murky river Bann, we're i go to remember my lovely Ann... Who was defiled at the end of rebel spears...and buried in the sand..then one day on the Horizon did i see, a 100 or more ships coming to my land... And Cromwell lord protector of the realm, smiled and put a sword into my hand.... Off we marched to......

I love all the actors in this film, but the casting is all wrong. Tim Roth is a fantastic actor, but he looks nothing like Cromwell. Now, someone I always thought would be just perfect for that role, since, unlike Roth, he actually bears a striking resemblance to the man, is none other than David Thewliss. And Rupert Everett is another wonderful actor with immense talent, but he isn’t right at all for the role of His Majesty King Charles I. Although, it is interesting to note that his maternal ancestors were royalists.
Olivia Williams is a very good actress ....she is underemployed as far as I am concerned .....and being quite tall for a woman she should have been cast in more historical figure's roles...as for Rup.Everet sir Alec Guiness was a far better Charles I
🎶Off we marched to drogheda, to Aston's guarded town. Together we stormed it with Cromwell at the helm, He screamed you butchers remember portadown... Im Cromwell lord protector of the realm,
Any film with Tim Roth is worth watching.
I almost didn't watch as it is subtitled "in French" and my rheumy old eyes get sore with subtitles. Thank dog it is in English and most enjoyable.
You can switch off the subtitles using the Settings.
I just realised there are so many options in the captions. Including Bengali. I wonder how the dialogues will be said in my mother tongue!
C' est dur de juger a notre époque les les hommes d' une révolution.
Merci pour le partage.
J'adore Tim Roth, ,merci pour le film.
Merci ,trés bon film historique.
Thank you for this fantastic movie , more historical movies pls
Bon film. Je suis satisfait, un film bon film sur l'histoire.
Absolutely excellent historical movie. I'm very happy to learn Fairfax lived to a ripe old age and did much for York.

Thank you 🤩🤩💖
Loved the film 👏👏👏
Excellent. Helps you understand "divine right of kings."
Great movie❤❤
merci pour film qui nous aide a mieux comprendre l'histoire ....
an awesome period piece that fills in a lot of the "glossed over" back story of Cromwell (Richard Harris).
Très belle page d'histoire
What a good movie.
excellent film , merci beaucoup./
I love this movie so much that am watching it for the second time
très beau film,merci beaucoup
Charles 1st has nothing to do with Elizabeth 1st! Two different royal houses and 30 years apart
Having just watched this, its a bag of crap historically...the trial took 10 days and Charles was only present for the charges being read out...Cromwell did not give a speech outside the Banqueting House and was not elected Protector until 1653...there was no assassination attempt at his investiture etc. etc.

Yes, the House of Stuart (Scottish) and the House of Tudor (Welsh) then again King James 6th of Scots took over England in 1603!
@Dish😂😂😂fire101
un très bon film et une très belle histoire
What was a great film
Extraordinnaire film😢
James 6th of Scotland tookover England in 1603 Charles 1 was the son of King James and charles 1st had a son called Charles 2nd❤
Wonderful movie. I enjoyed watching it. The best

A most powerful introduction. I will see if it agrees with the Great Reformers whose blood paved the way for liberty today.
🇬🇧 I Like this film it gives an accurate😢 historical account of the events that actually to place in historey between Oliver Cromwell And King Charles great performances and direction great movie

The Roman empire was better than the Republic and its not even close.
Makes me want to watch Rob Roy again
He was a real bastard in that one. I wish it were on UA-cam like this.
Bom filme.
A great movie
Tim Roth at young age and Australian actress forgot her name. Interesting film.
Très bon film historique, je recommande ❤
It looks so good movie😇🤝👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️🫂🙏🏻
I love the movie.
She is a very beautiful lady
Very Good,a gem
Charles I , file a FOIA request with the House of Parliament, do not answer any questions, do not consent to a search of your person or the royal Treasury, appeal your case to higher court!

Was going to say the same thing.
In terms of historical accuracy, it's all over the place.
Vive le Roy de France 👑

why the bad aspect ratio?
Le film n est pas en français?
Sorry in spanish, please, thank You 😢
Tu el hombre! Viva Cristo Rey!!!
Finalement les Français ne sont pas les seuls à avoir exécuter leur roi......
What do you mean - we did it before you !
Why is Elizabeth I even mentioned in the logline? This film concerns people and events which occurred more than 50 years after her death! Otherwise an excellent film.
Scott and Tim together?
I'm in.
for my country thailand or former siam, the king and always controlled their subjects or lords...because the king himself was always former lord who had the great wealth and men power...
This is precisely one of the things that the people were fighting against in the civil wars. British people know that a king's rule has limits.
Oliver Cromwell wasn’t as bad as they are making out in this movie
An hour and thirty four minutes?
Where is the rest?
Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, so what has that got to do with the description of the movie, i.e., Charles I Elizabeth I.
super film mais beaucoup trop de pub
Vrais pour les pub.
Avant ils avaient pas de pubs

can you guys explain to us how they manage to drag Jesus to the Cross then accused the Roman?

Good film poor portrayal of Cromwell as a nervous and emotional wimp instead of cold, unemotional, supremely confident
Great film, To Kill a King (2003)

What has changed I told him I have, If one can not change oneself it is meaningless.
So much nonsense in this film. It is really irritating. I guess all it has going for it is entertainment. No wonder it was a flop.

Alguém sabe me informar se esse filme é baseado em história real ?
Sim aconteceu no sec xvii durante a guerra civil inglesa entre as forças parlamentares lideradas por Oliver Cormwell e monarquicas de Carlos I que acabou por ser executado.
It sure is
Si , es real.
É sim senhor!
@@mariomillanmartin6906El solo hecho real en esta peli es que mataron al rey, lo demas de la peli es falsa.
Attendre 130 ans que les Anglais pousse les Français a décapiter leurs Roi (nuances)
How gullible was Anne and the Royalists that a king can do and take anything. England 🏴 is a country of laws and better for it.
❤❤❤❤
Cromwell an Irish, should of stayed in Ireland 🇮🇪 was he colonized there, like some, certain of you?

Good film, but let us not delude ourselves we are still being ruled covertly

Cromwell was NOT on the scaffold - looking like a pissed-off little Jew - when Charles was beheaded. This is just such a pastiche.
To Kill a King name of the movie.
Olivia Williams is a very good actress ....she is underemployed as far as I am concerned .....and being quite tall for a woman she should have been cast in more historical figure's roles...as for Rup.Everet sir Alec Guiness was a far better Charles I
bang please make the Madong seok movie, which is titled Ground Zero
