I& #39;ve never seen Lion in Winter and I am extremely excited to watch it with friends who know more than I do about the people and time period involved (which, to be fair, is a VERY low bar -- most of what I know is from playing Eleanor in Civ). Let& #39;s go! #ClassicsTwitterMovie https://twitter.com/SkyeAShirley/status/1289768908459655168">https://twitter.com/SkyeAShir...
Eleanor is the new Medusa and a gorgon, eh? I don& #39;t think he means that as a compliment . . . #ClassicsTwitterMovie
Also Peter O& #39;Toole listing all the people he& #39;s boned as a . . . compliment (???) to his lady friend has real Zeus in Bk 14 of the Iliad energy, when he& #39;s telling Hera how hot she looks by listing every woman he& #39;s slept with #ClassicsTwitterMovie
Dude, you guys, *that& #39;s* what young Anthony Hopkins looked like?? I would NOT have recognized him! #ClassicsTwitterMovie
I am LOVING the dialogue in this movie! Eleanor is so sharp and banterful! #ClassicsTwitterMovie
"Love me, little lamb, or leave me"
"Departure& #39;s a simple act. You put the left foot down, and then the right."
"Hush dear, mother& #39;s fighting."
THIS WOMAN IS PERFECT!

MEDEA TO THE TEETH!! #ClassicsTwitterMovie
Oh hot damn, it& #39;s a chess game as metaphor for political or other scheming! This trope is so pervasive and yet I still somehow don& #39;t get tired of it? #ClassicsTwitterMovie
Hepburn-Eleanor is absolute #goals: "I dressed my maids as amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus."

I truly have no idea who to ever trust in this movie. Everyone is so scheming, it& #39;s like Iago but turned up to 11. I love these beautiful, manipulative monsters #ClassicsTwitterMovie
Eleanor of Aquitaine has her knives out!! #ClassicsTwitterMovie
Thank GOD there are so many tapestries in this room! How many more trysts and schemes can we hide?? #ClassicsTwitterMovie
I love how no one seems surprised that Geoffrey just jumped out of the tapestry. "Oh, uh, you& #39;re here? As usual, no one cares" #ClassicsTwitterMovie
"After all these years, still like a democratic drawbridge, going down for everybody." DAMN!!!! #ClassicsTwitterMovie
I keep forgetting that this is sort of a Christmas movie.
