This is my favourite film. Every scene is electrifying. The pairing of O'Toole and Hepburn was a stroke of genius. The relationship between King Henry the 2nd of England and his Queen, Elinor of Aquitaine, is the ultimate love-hate relationship. One moment they want to kill each other and the next moment they are speaking gently and lovingly to one another. No matter what happens, they can never quite let each other go.

The script couldn’t be done again because of its it’s commentary on homosexuality, but it really let them spread their wings. Hepburn, O’toole, and Hopkins really are preeminent actors or their respective generations. I can’t think of any other movies that have put such a caliber of actors together with a script to rise to and push their level.

"It's 1183, and we're all barbarians." -- what a great line. I want to remember it, as it seems to be ever more applicable to the bulk of humanity in 2024. Little progress, I'm afraid. :o)

Maryscott OConnor I’m playing Prince John (who in real life is my 26th great-grandfather) in a production of this play right now and this is one of my favorite lines because everyone has a knife on them EXCEPT me, so I just look down at my belt where a knife should be and then my empty hands before looking up in panic because “oh god, EVERYONE has a knife except for me, I’m defenseless” 😂 It’s just such a fun moment where Eleanor slaps John with her words and points out how much of an idiot and a wimp he is.

She’s stunning. Truthfully when she gazes upon her reflection at the beginning of her dialogue, she is every woman Ive ever wanted to dare love or court, and she’s every woman that will cause my demise. She is the beauty and beast combined. She is the sunset whose every skyward hue provides comfort yet mischief. She is the calm of the deep night, its heavy darkness providing respite while crickets chirp, cicadas hum and little frogs croak in a combined anthem that reminds me in gentle melodies and comforting rhythms of the rich history of the earth my ancestors sat upon. Scot, Irish, Cherokee, Creek, - poor in monetary wealth, rich in the respect of the earth from whence we came. My kin are ancient - our blood and lineage stretch across eras of time. Yet some things stay the same. Family - respect for family, respect for life, being of aid and of service to others.

Throughout this movie, you never can tell if the characters ever truly mean what they say, or if they're putting on an act to get something they want. When Eleanor is alone in this scene, however, and has no need to wear a mask, you get a glimpse of the real Eleanor.

Katherine didn't make an 'off' the screen writers did. BTW The first recorded outbreak of syphilis in Europe occurred in 1494/1495 in Naples, Italy, during a French invasion. Because it was spread by returning French troops, the disease was known as "French disease", and it was not until 1530 that the term "syphilis" was first applied by the Italian physician and poet Girolamo Fracastoro..
