Well, The Lion in Winter. The Lion in Winter may be more familiar to you as a film. And certainly in Revelation, when we read of a lion, and in Isaiah, where we read of a lion, and also in another passage we're gonna look at in Genesis, when we read of a lion, we don't read anything about a lion in winter. Lion in Winter was a tremendous film, 1968, starring Peter O'Toole as Henry II and Catherine Hepburn as his imprisoned wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. It was one of those family Christmases, like the family Christmas from hell. I don't know what your family Christmases have been like and whether or not you've had any that have been, you know, just a little bit lively or a little bit stone dead, but Henry II called all his family together at Chinon, where he had a castle and where he was with his mistress, Alice, and he called the whole family together to see who would succeed him, who would get the throne of he and his wife Eleanor's three children, Richard, Geoffrey and John. It is, in some ways, an enormously entertaining film. Brilliant performances from Peter O'Toole and from Katherine Hepburn, both of them hamming it up as only they could. It is a film which has some themes in it which always grab people's attention and which are not inappropriate to this evening. Christmas is one of them. It's a Christmas family gathering. Royalty is there. It's a king and his family. All sorts of family relationships are there in what is a totally dysfunctional family, so it's really quite up to date. It's a film about the battle of the sexes and who's going to win. Sparks are flying left, right and center. It's a film full of political intrigue. It's a huge power struggle and there's even a reference to Aristotle for those with a philosophical bent. It's the kind of film where you expect to see Matt Damon striding through it at any moment and some explosions to happen. It's full of terrific one-liners, scathing as they often are in the battle that goes on between Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Pietro Tull and Catherine Hepburn. She arrives for Christmas at Chinon on a barge and as she's getting off the barge, Henry says to her, ha, what shall we hang? The holly or each other? And the three boys hate each other and always have hated each other and are full of deceit and intrigue and utter contempt for one another. So much so that at one point Eleanor says, Henry, and he says, hmm. And she says, I have a confession. Yes. I don't much like our children. And as the film progresses, you realize why she doesn't like your children. Jeffrey says to John on one occasion, if you're a prince, there's hope for every ape in Africa. Which is just a great line from a brother to a brother, isn't it? Now, the interesting thing about the line in Winter is that it is all about kingship. It's all about what happens when power is held by those who are corrupt.
