RIP Sir Nigel Hawthorne (April 5, 1929 - December 26, 2001), aged 72 And RIP Sir Ian Holm (September 12, 1931 - June 19, 2020), aged 88 You both will be remembered as legends.
George was not mad, he was just very ill, with a condition no one understood at the time. But two world class actors the late great Sir Nigel Hawthorne and Sir Ian Holm
First class acting here by two world class actors directed by the best. Add Handel and you have one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. RIP Sir Ian.
Where have I been for the 33 years & counting? Never seen this movie . I thought I knew my movies. This definitely seems like a good movie. There’s a few studs that were casted ( as I seen in this clip.)
It is touching to see how the officer and the valets immediately and instinctively try to defend the king with their own bodies and are violently beaten by the male nurses. They knew he was crazy but to them he was still untouchable and sacred.
I agree with Everett. But I do think, despite the age difference, that Hawthorne is pretty much perfect in the role. I think it was right to ignore the age difference in that respect.
Talking out of turn, that’s a restraining Looking out the window, that’s a restraining. Staring at my sandals, that’s a restraining. Paddling the palace canoe, oh you better believe that’s a restraining.
I guess for a modern movie it is rather nice, though the power of the English kings and queens over the English realm has as much declined as the art created about them! Just think of the deep fall between Henry IV for example and George III so no wonder that the king did get mad; or the English mistook him: He may have only pretended to be mad in order to have the English resume the war against the Americans like Solon did in Athens because of Salamis; plus the Shakespeare quotes are amicable.
