Cromwell (link to donate within description box)

The film "Cromwell," released in 1970, is a historical drama that follows the life of Oliver Cromwell, a Puritan statesman who led the Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War and later became Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland.2 The film depicts Cromwell's journey from a country squire to a key figure in the conflict against King Charles I, who is portrayed as an absolutist and Catholic-sympathetic ruler.2 The story begins in 1640, as Cromwell becomes increasingly disillusioned with the king's policies, including the enclosure of common lands and the introduction of "Romish" rituals into the Church of England.2
Cromwell initially plans to take his family to the New World but is drawn back into politics. He becomes a cavalry officer and, after the ineffective performance of the Parliamentary forces at the Battle of Edgehill, he helps establish the New Model Army, which turns the tide of the war.2 The film highlights Cromwell's role in the victory at the Battle of Naseby, where his cavalry proves to be the deciding factor, although one of his sons is killed in battle.2
The film also covers the trial and execution of King Charles I, with Cromwell playing a central role in having the king tried for treason. After the king's execution, Cromwell eventually becomes Lord Protector, but the film ends with a voice-over stating that he served successfully for five years before Charles I's son returned as king, marking the end of an era.2
While the film is generally faithful to the historical events, it takes some creative liberties, such as exaggerating Cromwell's role in the events leading up to the English Civil War and altering the timeline of certain events.3 Despite these inaccuracies, the film features a strong ensemble cast, including Richard Harris as Cromwell and Alec Guinness as King Charles I.
