Judge Dennis Davis and Professor David Peimer - Cromwell: The Movie

- Alright, very good. Okay, let’s-

• Okay, over to you, Dennis.

• Yes, David and I are going to make one fundamental assumption, although I will try to clarify that in a moment. And that is that many of you would’ve listened to William Tyler’s very comprehensive lecture on the Civil War, and therefore on the events, which to some extent, and I use that word advisory at this moment, are depicted in the film that we are about to talk about, which is “Cromwell.” But in effect, perhaps the problem of the film, and probably the difficulty confronting any director dealing with this, is how in a sense to compress what was a decade of turbulence into our film. Just as you would’ve known from the lecture that William gave, and I don’t intend to repeat it, Oliver Cromwell, of course, was the critical military leader during the English Civil War. In excuse me, in 1649, Charles I, as a result of that, was executed. In 1653 Cromwell became what was referred to then as a Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England. That didn’t last very long. He died in 1658, handed over to his son. But by 1660, the crowd had been restored with Charles’s son. The events which are depicted in this film, sort of therefore have this difficulty of trying to compress into one film a decade of historical turbulence and of considerable amount of struggle one way or the other. And so one of the points that I wanted to make right upfront is the question, how does one address a film which deals with momentous historical events such as this in circumstances where the film is not particularly historically accurate? Now, I want to just make this further point, if I may, just in typical legal style, a sort of legal caveat. In my view as a film, this is certainly not in the same league as the two films that I have shown recently with regard to historical events, those being “A
