[@quinnzelreign8775]

What some people miss about this movie is that Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) is an author who wrote the Canterbury Tales. A Knights Tale happens to be the first tale. I loved that this was a "modern day" Chaucer film because everyone is so used to modern day Shakespeare films.

[@polterkat]

Idk if anyone's mentioned this but the moment where the crowd is dead-silent after Chaucer's speech until Roland goes "YEAH!" from the side of his mouth and everyone starts cheering was an improv moment due to the fact that they filmed in the Czech Republic and none of the extras spoke English. So they legitimately didn't know it was their cue to cheer until Mark Addy did that 😂

Czechs speak pretty good english. And it was obvious by the intonation that the speech was done. Good story, but definitely not true😂

​@@peterbirkemose wow you're super cool. Except 1. English was not as widely spoken when the movie was made 2. If your native language isnt English there isn't necessarily anything about "the intonation" which cues you,. Different languages use intonation for all sorts of different things. And also 3.

Fun fact about this movie, which I love, the announcer, Jeffery, is actually meant to be Jeffery Chaucer, the writer of The Canterbury Tales. This movie was made to reflect an actual historical occurrence where Jeffery disappeared for about six months. Then, he reappeared and started to write the Canterbury Tales, where he talked about 'all of it' at all levels of society. So this movie is supposed to show the six months when he disappeared and the experiences that inspired his most famous work.

[@laurawendt8471]

The two a-holes that stripped Chaucer and he said he would immortalize them forever in history as the worst, they are supposed to be the Miller and the Pardoner 😂

[@pemberliegh]

The film makers wanted to make these medieval activities feel like how similar activities feel today. So things like the music that accompanied various points, making the dancing evolve from medieval to modern style. Making the jousting really feel like a modern sporting event was very intentional to bring a modern audience into the moment. It was of course all very anachronistic, but so relatable. And like you said, just fun.

[@mycroft16]

Moulin Rouge did this as well with the music, bringing OUR idea of a fun time into the visual of their time. It's smart, but it blows my mind just how many people don't get it.

Yes, exactly. It was such a clever way to make this feel more like the sports movie it is instead of a stuffy period piece

[@Caiyde]

"Colville" is Edward of Woodstock, known to history as Edward, The Black Prince. By all accounts, he was the greatest king we never had. He died of dysentery in 1376, almost exactly one year before his father, Edward III, so the crown skipped him and went to his son, Richard II. The Black Prince is remembered in English history as a model of chivalry and heroism - the quintessential honourable knight, and one of the most successful military commanders of the Hundred Years' War, despite fighting on the losing side. He's remembered in French history as a tyrannical invader :') He's buried in Cantebury Cathedral, where his armour is preserved as a monument to him.

Much appreciated! And thanks for watching with us!

[@misseva7404]

This is the first of your videos that I clicked on because A Knight's Tale is one of the most important films in my life. It came out just after my mom was diagnosed with cancer; I went back and watched it in theaters 4 times to escape from life for a little while. I remember sitting in the dark listening to first-time viewers laugh at all the jokes and feeling so proud of "my boys" on screen. It sparked an interest in medieval history that led me to years of renaissance faires/medieval reenacting (and dozens of new friends who changed my life). 2001 was such a rough year, with my mom's illness, an identity theft, and 9/11; I had recently finished college and begun my career, so I was already an adult, but this was the year that I really had to leave the last of my innocence/childhood hopes behind. My mom died in 2005, and then when Heath Ledger died in 2008, my dad called me at work to see if I was okay because he knew how much this movie meant to me. So when other people watch and appreciate this movie, it feels really personal. This might all be a bit much to share in a KZbin comment, but because you guys wear your hearts on your sleeves a lot when you react, I wanted to let you know how meaningful this was to me. thanks.

I didn't hear any of you mention that this movie is based on Geoffrey Chaucer's "A Knight's Tale," the first story in his Canterbury Tales. This film is a imaginative parody of how Chaucer came up with the idea for his famous story about knighthood. I'm happy that you guys enjoyed it!

[@RaixsOreh]

additionally: the Knight's tale was part of the Canterbury tales. I'm not sure where I saw it, but I'm at leasy 50% sure that they were planning to make sequels based on the other tales in it.

[@Hellohellonada]

@@RaixsOreh it was a pitch but A Knight’s Tale didn’t do well in its theatrical run so it was never picked up. Fingers crossed for Netflix or Amazon to start it

[@giverdend1416]

It's actually not an adaptation of that story though. The idea for the movie comes from The Hedge Knight by George R. R. Martin. Yes that GRRM, the guy who wrote the original books for Game of Thrones.

[@smylyface]

@@giverdend1416 Brian Helgeland said himself that his screenplay is based on The Canterbury Tales which is why Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the characters. George R. R. Martin also based his novella "The Hedge Knight" on The Canterbury Tales. The stories are similar because they are both based on Chaucer's works. BTW, I am quite familiar with George R. R. Martin. The first story of his that I read was Fevre Dream when I was in highschool, back in 1984. Been a fan ever since.

[@giverdend1416]

@@smylyface If you read the synopsis for Chaucer's The Knight's Tale, you'd know there is no resemblance between that story and this movie. The closest it gets is that there's a tourney, and that Ademar and Will compete for Jocelyn's affection (but the tourney has nothing to do with it), though Ademar clearly doesn't love her nor is he a friend of Will's. Otherwise, the tale has nothing to do with people disguising themselves as knights, or getting to become a real knight through their valiance, or jousting, or group fighting, or princes in disguise, or anything of the like. It's about two friends who fall in love with the same girl, become enemies, duel, get thrown in prison, and then the king has them get a team and fight with swords in a tourney with the idea that the winner gets the girl. The girl loves one of the knights, and even though he technically loses, the other guy dies to his injuries so the two of them get to marry after all. The Hedge Knight is not based on that story either, though at one point there is a trial by combat with two groups fighting, and a character does die in there due to their injuries after winning the fight, which are nods to Chaucer's story but in no way an adaptation of the same plot. The rest of the plot also doesn't have anything to do with friends competing to marry someone, or friends becoming enemies, or the person losing actually winning what they want, etc. What The Hedge Knight has, however, is a squire of lowly peasant origins who was raised from childhood by a knight and who dreams of becoming a real knight, disguising themselves as said knight after their master dies because they want the money, jousting tourneys, princes in disguise, and eventually getting vouched for as a real knight by a prince who champions him, all of which are directly put in the movie A Knight's Tale. It's like the director wanted to adapt The Hedge Knight, and then deliberately cut out the part of the story that is _actually_ inspired by Chaucer and added in a love story instead.

This may have already been mentioned, but when a knight won the horse, they almost never kept the horse. A well-trained horse was extremely valuable, and was usually ransomed back to the one who lost it for a lot of money. So each time they won a horse, they weren't really adding to their stable, they were adding to their wealth. By the way, I'm so happy you chose to react to this one. It's a favorite of mine, and so few reactors are doing anything with it.

Once she saw that he wasn't like them ONLY THEN did she truly become interested in him, and it not just be a courtship.

[@crairdin]

I think the idea with using modern music in a medieval setting was to say that they would have had their own modern music, their own dances, and their own traditions among the spectators at these games, but we have no way of knowing what those things were. By putting our music, our dances, and our crowd behaviors into the movie, it helps put us more in the right mood or in the right context for an activity that is completely unfamiliar to us. It makes it feel current and relatable even though it's 600+ years old. Lest that seem "unrealistic", remember that everything you see from this era (14th century I think; Chaucer died in 1400) is "unrealistic" because it is usually presented in Early Modern English at best, when in fact Middle English was the language of the time and is virtually meaningless to speakers of Modern English.

It also had a problem of studio interference. It was supposed to be dark noir, but the studio thought that no one would understand what was going on in the first half of the movie, so they demanded that there was a voiceover that effectively explained the plot at the beginning of the movie.

Oh my God!!! This movie is part of my childhood and I love it with all my heart!! 💜 So glad you reacted to it.

[@ellingtonGaming]

This is literally one of my favorite movies of all time. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it's just good fun

[@marieclaudeb.2366]

Such a fun movie! Great seeing you guys enjoying this one ❤

[@fredesca8648]

Wow. The Joker, King Robert Baratheon, SS Obergruppenführer John Smith, K-2SO, Vision, Mark Anthony and Lavinia.

[@thewallet]

Game of thrones fucked up so bad that this is the only comment to even mention Robert Baratheon is in the film.

[@fredesca8648]

@@thewallet it wasn't that bad.

[@craventiger]

This deserved a 6/5! The entire cast was awesome. Thanks for the laughs everyone. :)

[@Nanosuit]

Love this movie. HL Gone but never forgotten.

[@smylyface]

I love this movie so much!! I can't wait to see your reactions!😃

[@aidenharvey3784]

Slap me thrice and hand me to me Mumma, you guy's just made my day! This movie was my childhood. Its such an underrated and underreacted movie, practically no one talkes about it these days. To this day, this remains Heath Ledger's greatest performance apart form his portrayal as Joker in the Dark Knight.

[@cmurr1174]

So happy you are reacting to this. I never get sick of this move. It’s that movie everyone loves but it’s rarely talked about. Hits every movie genre and is a movie u can watch over and over.

[@ejtappan1802]

Talk about timing... just last night I was trying to describe this film to a friend who had never seen it. I told him it was a weird mashup up styles that totally worked. And that the real selling point was the fantastic cast. --- Thanks for the videos. Love watching you guys!

[@theradgegadgie6352]

Funny you should mention House of the Dragon, because the fat squire bloke is Robert Baratheon, from GoT.

[@alexromanov5054]

Roughly 8 minutes into your video, the lack of cheers wasn’t planned 😂 the extras just didn’t speak much English so they didn’t know that was their cue to cheer until “…yeAHH!!” and the director liked it so much, he kept it in instead of doing a retake.

[@meowyuni]

This is one of my favorite childhood movies, I even have it on DVD!! I clicked so fast when I saw this ❤ RIP Heath

[@johnnysoccer1983]

When you guys were listing a couple movies with Alan Tudyk I couldn't help but think of the movie Serenity, a stand alone movie that followed the 1 season TV show Firefly and only was made due to the massive demand from the cult following the TV series had. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it, a futuristic movie that somehow maintains a space western movie vibe at times and doesn't miss a beat in the process.

[@Kraev369]

New fan here, but man i love your guys content honestly. You guys really do get into the movies and enjoy them on many levels and i enjoy that genuineness and honesty. =] Thanks for the content this movie never gets old! It's hilarious and definitely that chemistry from the actors and crew is what makes this film so great. I bet they had so much fun making this.

[@peanutbutter7682]

Awesome, have you guys watched district 9 yet? If not then you should definitely put it on the list.

[@ellie_jeann]

I don’t know how many aware if this but Heath did a short lived tv series called “ROAR”, his role was also of the medieval era which was filmed long before he did this movie (if I remember correctly).

[@georgedominguez255]

Would you gentlemen consider watching Brokeback Mountain? I feel since you lauded Episode 3 of TLOU, this might also be of similar quality and appreciation. Keep up the great work brochachos!🌈☮️

[@ct6852]

Have never heard 'brochachos'. Lol. That's good.

[@maximillianosaben]

I mean come on, how often do you get to see a jousting movie? And such a fun one with a great cast.

[@ct6852]

Trying to think of another movie with jousting...? Vaguely remember one with Richard Gere but not sure.

[@NawniColes]

Everyone bring up Chaucer, but hardly anyone mentions how Ulrich von Liechtenstein was a real person. Gelderland was real too, though not where Ulrich was from. He was a knight in the Holy Roman Empire, and I think his family had originally been serfs. He also wrote a bunch of poems that were supposedly about his life, describing himself running around jousting people and doing various deeds to honour ladies, as per courtly love.

[@delmycatavi6373]

This is such a fun movie to see. I glad you enjoyed it too. The cast rocked it

[@Mangolite]

Rocky was a sobering tale story. Rudy was awe inspiring. A Knight’s Tale is pure fun, endearing, and just rocks!

[@MiddleAgedBrit]

This film does exactly what movies are meant to do. Entertain! Underated classic 👍

[@joyshutt7928]

Thank you for watching this! It's such a feel good movie. I've never seen that post credits scene before! 😂😂

[@BreezyGamer92]

I would argue this is Heath Ledger's best movie! Still miss seeing him in movies.

[@couch.patati-patata]

The fat guy was in The Full Monty. And Hercules is the BBC series Atlantis.

[@gorux]

Is that redhead Tormund from GoT? I recognize king Roberth tho xD

[@finalxxxpunch2964]

This used to be my favorite as a kid Glad to see you guys giving it a chance

[@callum4450]

Same, i remember having it on VHS and watching it over and over as a kid.

[@Hellohellonada]

I feel bad for my stepdad because I made him watch it with me over and over and over 😂

[@runwithkings20]

A couple of good movies you guys would probably like, are the Sicario movies

[@couch.patati-patata]

Rufus Sewell was awesome in Dark City. That was before Matrix. Gods of Egypt too.

[@zachedwards6006]

This movie is exactly what it’s supposed to be. Executed perfectly for what they set to do. That’s what makes it great. It was never supposed to be fancy state of the art special effects production but rather a character and story driven movie. It’s a ton of fun and has a great message that shows through every scene.

[@odinthorson1830]

The blacksmith is the actress who played Lydia in Breaking Bad. Fun reaction guys👍😄

[@marth354]

This is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. Glad to see you all enjoyed it!

[@michaelbowen2343]

"This is my word, and as such is beyond contestation" is one of the most badass lines in cinema; Its basically the medieval equivalent of "f around and find out."

[@ct6852]

Gotta write that one down.

[@andyhannon255]

If you like Paul Bettany then I think you would dig an underated film of his call Wimbledon, unsurprisingly enough set in the world of tennis :)

[@biggains1]

Ive seen this movie countless times since it first came out. I somehow never knew there was a post credits scene(this was before that was even an idea of being the norm for any kind of movie whatsoever), but now ive seen it....and it was the most glorious post credits scene i ever did saw 😂

[@tigercher93]

You can't beat Steve the Pirate, Little John, Vision and Joker on one team 😁 love this film, it's a classic

[@RSmith-qr4yw]

Yall always come through!!!! Love this movie!

[@ChulsZFF]

It might already be mentioned...but I love the part where Roland had to encourage the crowd after the big rev up but it's because the extras didn't speak English so they didn't know they missed their cue.

[@laurawendt8471]

It’s one of the best gags too, Mark Addy is so quick on his feet 😂

[@joakimkarlsson8392]

you need to see green street hooligans to see what pubs are like during sport

[@grantgardiner]

Paul Bettany playing Geoffrey Chaucer (Author of 'The Canterbury Tales', the first part of the book being A knight's tale) was amazing. You guys should check out the cut scenes he had. He has a huge monologue just before the knighting. There's even more. It's a great movie, amazing reaction boys!

[@NINETYSIXSOUNDS]

Paul Betanny’s character is Geoffrey Chaucer, a real author who wrote the Canterbury Tales, a series of stories meant to portray what it was life was like at the time in England for knights and peasants alike. A Knight’s tale is the first story of the book, so the movie is a creative portrayal of how Chaucer came to write the story, as much of his stories are thought to be partially based on his life experiences. Overall this movie is super nostalgic to me, a fun watch always! Glad you guys enjoyed it!

[@MadeofGreed]

This has pretty much everything you want in a movie. Good story, good vilan, love, friendship, funny moments and will get you teary eyed as well

[@RamblingRose08]

I've always loved this movie, and it's soundtrack. So fun 😊

[@laurawendt8471]

The movie is a hidden gem and still one of absolute favorites. The reason it’s so good is it’s written and directed by academy winner Brian Hegland who wrote LA Confidential. This was his passion project, and he pretty much wrote Chaucer for Paul Bethany lol. Such a great ensemble everyone was pitch perfect

[@weslennon3425]

Adamar (a.k.a. Thomas Sewell) plays the infamous Max Baer, a boxer during the Great Depression 1930’s NYC going up against James J. Braddock, his unlikely opponent in a championship boxing match. The movie, a true story known as “Cinderella Man”, an outstanding movie. Braddock played very well by another good actor, long with Renee Zellweger.

[@TheCuriousLo]

This is my favorite movie! It's so fun while still having a bit of heart. I can put it on anytime and just shave a feel-good blast So excited to see what y'all think 💕

[@jtm726]

You should check out: it's a mad mad mad world (1963) 12 Angry Men (1957) both are great films.

[@lillyvanpug]

This is definitely one of my favorites 😍 Such a beautiful story wrapped in comedy gold 🥳 Edit: and apparently I'm still balling my eyes out upon the reunion with his father 😭

[@KristiinaBerg]

Are you starting on The Last Kingdom any time soon?

[@KSDVLmom]

You HAVE to watch 4 FEATHERS!!!. Epic movie nobody reacts to. Its one of my favorite movies. Dang if you watched Game of Thrones you would have recognized one of these actors
