It was fricking great, tbh.

not watching schlomo
To be fair, Arthurian stories were written by the non-white French
fippybippy
Cool it with the anti-semitic remarks
>more racism
Not an argument 🙂
Racism is a pretty good argument
My race is not for you to corrupt or lie about.
You will never own a toilet. You have no social standing, you have no money, you have no bob or vegenes to play with. You are an unhygenic man twisted by curry, feces and urine into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the “good mornings!” you get are two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your street shitting buddies are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “bloody basterds” laugh at you behind their closed doors.
Toilets are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of technology and science have allowed toilets to flush with incredible efficiency. Even Indians who “shit in a toilet” look uncanny and unnatural to a seasoned plumber. Your E.Coli ridden feces are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to find a toilet in the bathroom, the toilet itself will turn tail and bolt the second it gets a whiff of your diseased, curry shit smelling anus.
You will never be able to shit without anyone watching and judging. You wrench out a few meager “good mornings” at the start of the morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the shit you hold creeping up like a weed, ready to rush out of your anus as your cheeks try to hold the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, scam a crypto gay, and redeem yourself into the cold abyss. Your basterds will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer has to live with the unbearable stench you brought to the designated shitting street. They’ll bury you without toilet paper, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a street shitting pajeet is buried there. Your remaining shit will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your pathetic life is a “good morning” text that was never opened.
>Bollywood production
No thanks
good morning sir gawain
>t. hasn't read the original poem
Oh I'm sorry, homosexual, I didn't realize we were on Cinemaphile
You are the homosexual for liking this subversive drivel.
>Post the netflix blocklist you made for your gf
Made me kek. Good job.
I'll level wtih you op. I actually wanted to see this
I ilke A24 stuff but I'm worried that if I give these idiots my money after they throw some street shitting pajeet into Arthurian England it will encourage them to do it more, so I passed.
We're all sick of this cultural vandalism and it's only going to get worse.
No one is benefiting from this except israelites
I torrented it, obviously. And I actually put it off for the same reason as you, and the mediocre audience reception
Yeah, it was actually pretty good. My expectations were really low, and I ended up pleasantly surprised.
>flips original story on its head and makes it objectively better
Explain for any illiterates reading this
My reading of the original is Gawain is kinda already this brave knight who accepts the Green Knight's game and terms, and ultimately acts cowardly and dishonest when it comes time for his head chopping. Yet when he is shamed and returns to Camelot, he is still celebrated. The takeaway lesson is to be honest, yet he faces no real consequence for this but a small cut.
In this adaptation, it's more of a story about bravery, and the honesty part is more internal honesty with one's self and character. The consequences of his actions are real, and it's cool how multiple paths of decisions are depicted. Gawain begins as a knight to be, but ultimately proves himself brave in the end, worthy of knighthood.
IMO normies simply didnt like the ending, or maybe the part where he got cum on his hand
Watch these:
I will watch. Is there something I missed? I think the issue with the original poem is the sort of paradox at the end. Gawain lowkey deserved to lose his yet, but was spared
you clearly didnt read the original
you dont have to, it's an adaptation
The original poem has Gawain as the noblest knight at the start of his journey. When he gets to Lord Bertilak's castle, the lady doesnt jerk him off, she just kisses him, which he returns in kind to Bertilak each day, as part of their exchange of gifts. On the third day, she also gifts him a green sash that will keep the wearer safe from all harm, which he doesn't reveal to Lord Bertilak, secretly breaking their game. He wears it to the Green Knight, who takes three swings at him, the first Gawain flinches so the knight stops, the second I forget but he stops again, and the third he nicks him on the neck. The green Knight turns out to be Bertilak, who was under a spell from Morgan LeFey. The knight nicked him the third time for lying about the sash rather than honorably taking what was coming. The moral being that even the most honorable knight could have foibles and shortcomings
The film flips most of that, a lot of it with the assumption that you know the basic beats of the poem (although it's a fine movie regardless). Gawain isn't even a knight, he's a bit of a sleaze, he's "not ready" in every sense to be the Gawain of legend. He's not noble, or gallant, or chivalrous, but he sees the Green Knight challenge as his ticket to become those things. He fails the games in the Lord's house pretty much entirely, and is groveling to stay alive in front of the Green Knight, even with the green sash. But at the end, as he sees what a life without that honor would be like, he takes it off and at least internally reaches that Gawain of legend. If you believe the movie is following the poem, he survives and the Green Knight is the Lord. If you think it continues to subvert the poem, maybe he does lose his head to this pagan tree monster at the edge of civilization.
I really enjoyed the film, and thought it used the trappings of the poem to deliver a very different message than the old poem which is directed mainly at other knights who think they're hot shit
Here's a chart with actual Chivalry kino on it. OPs movie is worthless garbage.
Arent you forgetting something?
>ZERO cultural staying power
>forgotten the moment it came out
This is the end result of dishonest (shoe-horned stunt racial casting in a european medieval fantasy story) cinema. This is the end result for ALL dishonest cinema.
no one I know saw nor remembers the Lighthouse. I think the missing link is about artsy movies with cum in it. No one likes to think about cum in their movies
Yes they do moron. A24 produces slop but people still post lighthouse memes and quote it. Youre dumb as frick.
Cinemaphile is not real people and has no cultural relevance. it's all /misc/ tourists and fat neckbeards
Im not talking about Cinemaphile you fricking moron.
>memes can only ever be posted on Cinemaphile
Just revealed your own ignorance friendo. Theyre posting memes on Facebook these days, old-timer! Its not just a Four Channel thing anymore!
>Theyre posting memes on Facebook these days
Go back troony
This is a nothing response. This is something a bot would auto-generate.
movie is trash
it almost completely incomprehensible unless you know the original story
It's even worse if you've read the original story. Abominable movie through and through.
The original story sucks ass and was completely disregarded in it's time. Learn history maybe?
Get lost, midwit.
From the director, mostly regarding the ending:
>Loss is a beautiful thing; it’s a terrible thing and a sad thing, but it’s a necessary thing. One day we will lose all that we hold dear. In my attempt to make peace with that, I’ve tried to approach the idea of loss, the idea of death, the idea that all we know will one day come to an end, with a sense of peace and appreciation. I try to find meaning in that loss. I want to gain something from that. Death is on my mind a lot these days. I really try to embrace the goodness of death. I wanted the end of this film to be a happy ending. Maybe Sir Gawain gets his head cut off two seconds after the film cuts to black, or maybe he lives a long life and dies of old age as King Arthur did. But regardless, he will come to an end, he will die one day. What’s important is that he’s arrived at this place where he can face that inevitability with goodness in his heart. That is how I try to approach the world.
powerful
great movie minus the jeet playing a authorian hero thing
I would have appreciated and enjoyed the movie a lot more if they cast someone who is Ethnically English to play the protagonist; and no it is not racism, it is a casting complaint.
>flips original story on its head and makes it objectively better
Cinemaphile hates it, but after Drive I'll neeeeever trust Cinemaphile's opinion on a damn thing again.
>after Drive
Get lost, newbie.
I'll keep my high taste untainted thanks
It's not about liking the movie. It's about you being a newbie. Lurk a year or two more before posting.
been here since 2016, so no
In that case make it 3 or 4 years of lurking before you make another post. newbies, I swear.
Can you watch it on Google Play? Should I go redeem a card?
it was fricking shit, with some scene being added only for the sake of it, and that terrible acting from that kid who steals his sword ffs what a shit film
the splooge scene was epic bacon reddit bait, crass and stupid. the random POCs in an English folklore tale was obviously stupid as well
the person who did the green knight costume needs to be launch into the sun, just a giant shitty rubber green suit that was almost Best of the Worst shit
