Cromwell
Directed by Ken HughesInglaterra, siglo XVII. Las discrepancias entre el rey Carlos I Estuardo (1625-1649), que era católico, y el Parlamento, dominado por los puritanos de Oliverio Cromwell, desencadenaron una guerra civil (1642-1648). La causa inmediata fue la sublevación de los católicos irlandeses tras la matanza del Ulster de 1641. La guerra terminó con la victoria de Cromwell. En 1649 tuvo lugar la ejecución de Carlos I y la abolición de la Monarquía, que fue sustituida por la República (1649-1660). Cromwell adoptó el título vitalicio de "Lord Protector", disolvió el Parlamento y empezó a ejercer una dictadura personal.

Cromwell Ratings & Reviews
- Mason Fitchue11 de agosto de 2025Great moving piece of history
- grantss18 de mayo de 2025Powerful English Civil War drama. England, 1640. King Charles I is becoming increasingly unpopular amongst his people, seizing lands, raising taxes, ignoring Parliament and generally acting with unbridled power. After a series of heinous acts by the King a parliamentarian, Oliver Cromwell, is determined to curb the King’s power. A powerful drama that not only details the origins, events and aftermath of the English Civil War but examines the origins and intentions of democracy. The history itself, especially the military aspect, is a bit stylised and some liberties taken with the details but the themes are highly relevant and accurate. The battles may be a bit suspect in terms of accuracy but they are quite spectacular. Great, rollicking action scenes, epic in scale and appearance. Richard Harris is excellent as Cromwell, dominating the film with his presence. An incredibly powerful, riveting performance. Alec Guinness is equally great as King Charles I. Great film.
- David Daniel19 de noviembre de 2024Superior location photography by Geoffrey Unsworth, creaky script, and strained performances, only Alec Guinness' King Charles comes off sympathetic
