Peter O’Toole.

I just watched the movie, very well made, I really enjoyed it.

Same here.

Rather unlikely but also unnecessary as people don’t face the same oppression as they would in Beckett’s days (both from political and religious leaders).

The modern world provides examples of countries dominated and ruled by clerics. Saudi Arabia, for example. No thanks.

No, we don't need bishops that want to protect rapists from prosecution.

HE was Norman. The film was playing off of the race problem.

The "a Becket or Becket" is a relatively modern thing. Surnames weren't common in the 12th century and Thomas himself never used it. He was known as Thomas of London or Thomas of Canterbury.

@@johnwalsh819 thanks. so what you are telling me is that Becket was his last name? BUT he is called "a" Becket, not "the" Becket. what gives? adding a definite article "the" to the beginning of the last name is practiced even today by the languages that still have definite articles like Arabic. everybody carries their last name with the definite article "al-" (which means "the" and "of" in English). so dudes are al- this and al- that!!

​@@TWOCOWS1 No. This surname "Becket" was given to his father for identification from other Gilberts in the place he was born, as around this time it was a very popular christian name. Surnames at this time were optional, not used regularly and very few people used them. The "a" or "de" before the surname really only indicates, as you say, "the" or "of" or "from". The name Becket itself can mean "the man from the beck or little brook" or "little beak" or "beak face". As I have already said, Thomas preferred to be called Thomas of London, or once he became Chancellor Thomas the Chancellor and after becoming Archbishop, Thomas the Archbishop. But "Becket"was used as a surname for him but usually only by people who really disliked him such as Roger l'Pont Eveque and Gilbert Foliot, Archbishop of York and Bishop of London respectively. It was used as a put down, a reminder that he wasn't born into the nobility. And remember the words the four knights used when entering the Cathedral "Where is Thomas Becket, traitor to the king and the kingdom?". After canonisation he was known as St Thomas of Canterbury. And all the churches dedicated to him from then were so named. It's only probably in the past 100 years or so that he has become commonly known as Thomas Becket.

@@johnwalsh819 Thank you John. Love how polite you are and speak constructively. Not common on KZfaq where people use profanities and/or idocies. Actually, Beck or buck is the old Saxon/Germanic, meaning trees and woods. So Becket would be more of a woodsman, dude from the forests (not terrible complementary). BUT still, why is he "a" Becket rather than just Becket or The Becket? Is this a modern mixup?

That orange freak doesnt even know who st.Thomas Beckett is

Also so much of separation of church and state

Isaiah 45, King Cyrus, a pagan King called by God to destroy enemies of Jewish people. Our 45 President Donald Trump promise to drain the swamp and he will keep his promise. Freemasons China and Russia are behind the mainstream media and liberal politicians who wish to convert this country into a communist country, their agenda will be destroy by one person, Jesus Christ.

Trump is an orange cheeto
