Movie Reviews of Galileo
Movie Review: The strength of a conviction!
Summary: 5 Stars
Joseph Losey made a successful stage in Broadway, 1947 with this personage starred by Charles Laughton. That fact proves Galileo was always for him an emblematic icon, a true hero in the best sense of the term.
That is why we should not surprise ourselves this talented filmmaker would undertake this issue in 1974 with praising comments.
Topol made the best role of his lifetime with this penetrating and incisive portrait about the life and hard challenges that Galileo Galilei had to face against the Holy church's points of view as well as the Holy scriptures.
The untamed investigative spirit of this passionate scientist who, based on the main Copernicus's statement always rejected the idea the Earth was the center of the universe always collided against the ferocious mental barrier of the establishment by then.
Joseph Losey was indeed one of the most irreverent and questioners filmmakers ever born. In this sense, this issue came to him like ring to finger at the moment to make a poignant adaptation of Bertold Brecht' s play with amazing results.
Edward fox as the Inquisitor, Michael Londsdakle as Bertelmi Cardinal and John Gielgould as the Pope are terrific bestowing this work the deserved status that still owns. The movie has surmounted the test of time to become one the most sincere and emblematic films around the freethinking ever made.
A classic and a must in your collection. Don't miss it.
