Secondary
The film portrays the spiritual ideals and moral authority of Christianity through Thomas Becket's transformation and ultimate martyrdom. While it critiques the political corruption and human failings within the Church's hierarchy, the narrative ultimately affirms the dignity and virtues of the faith itself, positioning Becket's sacrifice as noble and righteous.
