[@Graystaff]

At Comic Con in 2009 I was in an elevator when at the next floor James Purifoy got on. I said “Prince Edward!” and ended up receiving the biggest bear hug I ever got from a man. You tend to let your guard down a bit at SDCC.

[@markalexander6036]

"That's your name WIll. Sir William Thatcher. Your father heard that." - My favorite line in the whole movie.

[@Pineappolis]

Definitely one I hear and think, "yep, that's my favourite line." ...unhelpfully, that happens about thirty times during the movie but in the running's still impressive.

[@rodrigoantoniorojo2725]

this movie have several great lines / scenes, that are beyond of a simple romantic comedy. The one of the real knight tilt when should withdraw, or show mercy to keep the honor of his rival.

[@mrjoshey7211]

I think the most powerful line in the film!

[@Pineappolis]

​@@rodrigoantoniorojo2725 Those are fantastic moments - as well as, for sure, in line with the Chivalric Ideal of the day: courage, genuine honour and fealty to his Prince rather than sycophancy and, indeed, mercy. Now, not all knights lived up to that Ideal by a wide margin - plenty only sparing those who were wealthy enough to pay enormous ransoms for safe passage home but it was nonetheless remarked upon and admired as knightly at the time when it was extended to commoners. EDIT: Oops, forgot the actual point I was going to make: the scenes are great and _do_ speak to true chivalry but James Purefoy also utterly knocked his scenes out of the park, which helped a fair bit.

[@dianasykes7039]

Whats ther rest of your top ten?

[@Pineappolis]

@@MemeMartialArts Since it's also almost certainly in my top ten, I can certainly have a go at trying to remember what the full list was last time I thought about it (#1 is fixed, the rest are unranked - I must stress that they're not the _best_ ten movies I've seen - most are either legitimately very good or far better than they had any right to be for a few different reasons - a couple just bring me joy): 1) Stardust 2) Kingdom of Heaven - Director's Cut 3) Seven Psychopaths 4) Mamma Mia 2 5) A Knight's Tale 6) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 7) The Last of the Mohicans 8) Begin Again 9) The Last Samurai 10) Independence Day Huh, fewer odd ducks in there than I was expecting, which does kind of make Mamma Mia 2 stick out like a sore thumb but I don't think the phrase, "better than it had any right to be," has ever applied more to a movie and, well, I love me some Abba. Honourable Mentions: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - they only work to their fullest together and I couldn't justify three spots. Moana - easily my favourite 'Disney' Disney movie but Guardians 2 represents my love of taking a single theme and exploring it from many different character perspectives a bit better (and, against all expectations, is the only film in my entire life to make me cry in the theatre). 13th Warrior - I love it dearly but it is _kind of_ a complete mess while I love The Last Samurai for many of the same reasons and it's far better executed. The Princess Bride - it's _probably_ a better movie than Stardust but Stardust is easily the movie I've seen that most successfully embodies its spirit - and it _really_ deserves to be remembered for more than its theme song (which was perfectly fine and all but 'Waiting for a Star to Fall' by Boy Meets Girl was right there).

[@saltyk9869]

The movie features peasants singing Queen's "We Will Rock You" at a joust. Historical accuracy was not the focus.

[@AzrealUO]

The point of the anachronisms was to evoke the feelings we have today, to a World Cup match, to Friday Night Football, to the World Series, to Hockey Night in Canada. These events to these people, are like modern sporting events to us.

[@oscarvazquez1550]

😂❤

[@Pineappolis]

...if he live long enough for it to ever come up. I mean, he just tried to murder a personal friend of the Black Prince in a way that left incontrovertible evidence after being recalled in disgrace for bringing shame on the crown by, if I remember correctly, letting his free company act like a pack of savages (it's not Game of Thrones so they didn't get into the detail but I imagine it wasn't good). So, any political capital he had that might has saved his ass already squandered and a fairly impossible-to-explain tip on a jousting lance, elaborately disguised just to make _absolutely_ sure he couldn't claim it was a mistake, stuck in the shoulder of the best buddy of the heir to the Throne. I'd say he'd be lucky if he still had a head by the end of the day.

And Roland was so inspired by William's success that he took up the war hammer, killed Rhaegar Targaryen at the Trident, and became King Robert Baratheon.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

“You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting” is an allusion to a passage in the bible from the book of Daniel. It was a judgment on an arrogant king of Babylon who had known about the God of the Jews and His greatness from the experiences the king’s father had, but failed to give God the recognition He deserves during a wild feast the king had.

[@saltyk9869]

If memory serves, it's also a call back to a previous scene where the villain said the same to William.

[@charlesmillard596]

Adhemar was initially aiming high. He was going for the head to finish him. Easier to dodge when recognized which William was prepared for. He aimed lower at the last second, maybe as a faint, but that proved his downfall. Will aimed for a sure strike which proved the right choice.

William jousted without armor. Imagine if he got hit, even if he won. He woulda died in front of his father as his only son. Can you imagine how devastating that would have been?

[@r3l1csvk]

well,if we are delving into realism William´s wound would have to get inspected and upon retrieving the tip which was designed to pierce the armor and thus was illegal,would have the jerk disqualified

[@stevensanderson2817]

@@r3l1csvk I imagine its glazed over because it would have stopped the fight and they already knew that the tip was rigged when he got injured. He chose to just ignore calling foul which might have made his win seem less earned. I dont think the story with the prince being happy and the jerk being knocked on his butt with him getting the girl makes sense if a doctor just comes out and announces a disqualification. I could imagine a knight fighting through his wounds to earn a maidens love.

[@taps8781]

Dude....really? U think nobody realizes that?

[@saltyk9869]

Pretty sure its supposed to be symbolic. He's not jousting as a knight. But as a commoner.

[@Pineappolis]

@@saltyk9869 I've watch this film a _lot_ of times and I friggin' missed that. Not strictly a commoner - he _is_ a knight (that is beyond contestation) but as his true self - plain for all to see. Great shout. It drives me a little bit mad that the critics, who usually go mad for something a bit different, were so split over having all the modern trappings of a modern underdog sports movie overlaid onto a historical setting. It was a damn brave call and works really well for me. Every period piece is romanticised, simplified or dramatised in one way or other; why not crank it up until the knob breaks off? In a way, it's a stroke of genius - it makes historical accuracy a non-issue because it makes no pretence to portray history at all. Other than that, the acting is consistently excellent (I mean, from _everyone,_ - James Purefoy as The Black Prince has to little screen time but practically every second of it is iconic, same with Will's Dad, Shannyn Sossamon has fantastic chemistry with Heath Ledger and fantastic... anti-chemistry with Rufus Sewell, and everyone else goes without saying) the screen play is so full of gems that half the damn film's quotable, it's exceptionally paced after a slightly slow first act, the cinematography is rock solid and matches the tone perfectly and, most impressively, it feels like a coherent movie when some of it should cause wild tonal dissonance. Yes, it's a popcorn flick you're there for simple emotionality - but there's not a damn thing wrong with that if you do it right. I'll die on the hill of it being a genuinely excellent piece of cinema the likes of which I've never quite seen before or since as well as a feel-good romp (that'll also definitely also make you cry at _least_ once), all of which is to say I can _totally_ see the director intentionally going for that layer of of symbolism. It _also_ works perfectly as the classic underdog sports film "Hail Mary" finish but being both is just yet more damn good filmmaking (it might seem weird to put an over-the-top trope in the 'pros' column but a key part of making fiction in any genre is knowing when to lean into its tropes rather than doing your own thing. The lie being discovered, for example. The narrative just... wouldn't work without it. The measure is _how_ you do it and how you undo it - and the scenes that do each are both perfectly set up and paid off - that's every bit as impressive as a good subversion that still leaves audiences satisfied). A bit of an essay but that's kind of my point - I feel like there'll be people who would reckon you're overthinking a simple popcorn flick but there's a difference between a by-the-numbers guaranteed-profit franchise movie that's just a paycheque for the people involved and a film like this. The amount of genuine craftsmanship required to make it as good as it was isn't to be underestimated.

What a thrilling title for a video! "A Knight's Tale" with Heath Ledger always brings back so many fond memories. The concept of a character like William returning for a final match is packed with excitement and anticipation. It's always exhilarating to witness a culmination of a hero's journey, especially in a setting filled with medieval charm and chivalry. The idea of a final match in such a story usually promises a showcase of courage, honor, and skill - the very essence of knightly tales! 🏰✨
