A Knight's Tale: A Dance From Gelderland Scene (Heath Ledger)

[@smartcasualpenguin4826]

Whoever thought to mix in Bowie was a genius. Such a fun scene.

[@daniellestaub3189]

It was Heath Ledger's idea 😊

[@GGWyzzy]

It was fun, but felt so anticlimatic to the movie, because it is not so much as "ok, the music plays to give it a certain mood to a scene but only the people watching the movie are actually listening to it" and more like "ok, the people in the movie are acnowledging a music that should not really be possible to play then, because they lack the technology to actually have the instruments used when making it". It would be better if it was something toned down to whatever the instruments were at the time period rather than just going with straight up modern music with modern instruments.

[@pmjosh]

⁠@@GGWyzzyLmao. Are you joking? The modern music is the whole vibe and this scene shows exactly how perfectly it worked.

[@GGWyzzy]

@@pmjosh one thing is when a music sets up the vibe but only the audience hears it, another is when the music is literally part of the movie, just like this case. IF we are to put this very specific music into a medieval movie, then make it so that it is played by instruments that actually existed back them, because I doubt that by that time and period eletric guitars, bass and drum sets were available, heck, I would even doubt that this specific style of music would even exist then but fine, just make this very IN MOVIE song at least be feaseable with the instruments they would have at hand then and not something that seems like a time traveller brought to the movie. It fits the vibe of the scene? Sure, then make it play only for the audience watching the movie knowing it is a movie, not be part of it in-universe, it severelly breaks immersion.

Love this scene! ❤

[@benjaminh.morgan3193]

As rightly as Heath Ledger is praised for this movie, can we take a moment to appreciate Rufus Sewell? The disdain, contempt, pride, arrogance, annoyance, and scorn he portrays with the subtlest expressions make him such an incredible villain to loathe. I honestly can’t imagine the movie working nearly as well without him as Heath Ledger’s foil.

[@anthonywatts2033]

Rufus Sewell has my appreciation in whatever hes in!

[@angeladavis9254]

I still have disgust for him.😆

[@willardswelding7243]

Absolutely! Paul Bettany as Chaucer, a real poet and giant of English literature, is hilarious. Every time I watch this scene the way they weave “Golden Years” into the midevil dance music gives me goose bumps. Actors like Sewell are real artists. They can make you love or loathe a character as the script demands. Ledger was no slouch. You loved Sir William and The Joker gave you nightmares.

[@randomguy-xp7se]

Hes a great villain.

[@Nokard]

he's amazing, you have been weighed, you have been measured...

[@alexpalmer4825]

What i love about this film is the use of modern music to show fun. At the time, what we consider classical and boring was the david bowi of the age. They loved this shit. Imagine a world where you only ever heard music when you went to see it live. For them, this was queen, it was the beatles, it was amazing. Imagine being a person who never heard music before and someone comes out with a harp. For us its boring, its old, its date, but for them its rockstar. And they use the music in queen and bowie to show this.

[@wellthness6881]

My favorite movie of all time! Blending classical music into classic rock was as brilliant as the writing and humor throughout the film!

[@roelmd8907]

The main idea behind incorporating 1970's songs into 1370 scenes is "because '70s are always the same", according to the director

[@DustinBlaise]

One of my favorite scenes of the whole movie. Love how it transitions from traditional to today's form of music and dance. Also this was my first time hearing "Golden Years" by David Bowie which was a great choice for this scene and became one of my favorite songs to listen whenever I want to get loose and have fun.

[@Fyreflier]

First Bowie song I ever heard and it was in A Knight's Tale. Thus began my love for his music

[@DirtyJack80]

Dude: looking awkward dancing alone. Chick with highlights in the middle ages somehow: claps once. Everyone else: oh yeah, I know this dance now.

[@brucewayne3602]

movie is beyond brilliant ... Thankyou Heath ... a truly devastating tragedy but we will remember ... Eternal Blessing !!!

A great scene from a great movie with fantastic music. I hope they had as much fun filming the scene as we do from watching it.

[@psychohelmetfounder]

What a great video and film. I teared up a little bit, wishing that heath ledger could have lived. Respect to his surviving family.

[@LoveHandle4890]

R.I.P Heath Ledger. You’ll always be remembered as not just one of the best actors of all time but greatest human beings that ever lived.🙏

[@Joetheshow15]

Jesus way to over exaggerate. Great guy, as far as we could tell, we didn't know him behind the scenes. But calm down with this greatest human beings who ever lived nonsense. He was an actor, he didn't save lives, he didn't cure diseases, he didn't feed families. He was a great actor who seemed very likable and nice off screen, no need to put him on such a pedestal

[@garvielloken3103]

One of greatest movies EVER! Also: the opening scene was actually just extras and stuntmen goofing out.

[@Ananas-Astra]

One of my favorite anachronistic movies.

[@RebeccaTurner-kf8gx]

Oh Heath I just in awe of your performances young man

[@RoseRedd-k4b]

I love this scene and I like this song. I was like get down Heath Ledger, I had no idea he could dance like that.

[@HomeAtLast501]

He isn't a great dancer. You can see he is off-balance several times, he isn't letting his weight drop to his feet, and he's stiff. The chick is a better dancer.

[@majav15mg]

I love the music. Everything. Kickass scene.

[@jaroslavvyskok8488]

miss you legend :(

[@thedudeabides3138]

My only regret in this entire movie was that this dance scene wasn’t longer.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

its a cool scene but dam the rest of the movie is too long, needs to be trimmed

[@lyndaperussich5691]

Love ❤️ 😍 Heath so much...😢 And yes they were genius

[@spbryant]

She was gorgeous.

[@VIGILANTE_Eraser45semi]

I get chills and emotional everytime I see this ❤️ 😇

[@codyallen211]

You look nervous. Do you wanna know how I got these dance moves?

[@wjzav1971]

Rufus Sewel's face was handcrafted to show utter loathing and contempt without moving a muscle ^^
