Diversity. Blacks cant speak without blaccent so everything they do becomes a ghetto parody of itself
>He forgot about Black Knight
this movie came out the same time and is the reverse, a knight comes to the present
idk denzel played macbeth just fine mate
Frick off.
does this movie have a single character that is a person of color?
The noble lady is some kinda hapa chick
no
and its an excellent movie because of it
it DOES have a female blacksmith though which is hilariously stupid, doubly so because she 'invents' new steel forging techniques to make real strong armor thats also lightweight
And she was way cuter than his actual love interest
Forgivable at the time since she was austim cute.
Most of her photos have borderline crazy eyes.
Maybe I'm missing something but while some of the basics would be the same, isn't there a whole lot of difference between making horseshoes and making a suit of armor?
She was the widow of a blacksmith and practiced the trade along with her late husband
Lydia Oh Lydia
Say have you met Lydia?
Lydia the TAtooed Lady.
>female blacksmith though which is hilariously stupid
Historically accurate. Widowed wives of blacksmith were allowed to take over the business as farriers, hence the dismissal of her abilities by the other blacksmiths
>Widowed wives of blacksmith were allowed to take over the business as farriers
A Farrier is literally a completely different trade to that of a blacksmith.
She doesn't "invent" anything of the sort.
The knights were jousting in full plate, leggings, the works.
She merely prioritized breastplate and helmet armor, with the armor facing front, because William refused to turn or alter course, so she could do that.
If someone aimed for the back of William's legs or back, the armor was not useful at all.
Time and determination. It's all it really takes to master new skills. She may have started by shoeing horses, but once you have the basics of working metal or wood down, you can go pretty far.
A common thing I see for blacksmiths is making hundreds of the same simple metal object by hand for practice. It pushes your brain into figuring out ways to simplify and understand the process.
her armor is lighter, stronger, blows everyones minds, and its fricking marked with nike logos
what the frick are you talking about
Yes enough iron daggers and you unlock draconic smithing
The main girl is some unique ethnicity. She's really cute tho and has a fun personality so its ok in my book
>Shannon Marie Kahololani Sossamon was born in Hawaii, and was raised in Reno, Nevada.[2] Her ancestry includes Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Filipino, and Hawaiian.
She is half mystery-meat European, half Pacific islander. Basically, the same ethnic background as Keanu Reeves.
She could probably fit in with a southern French lady at a tournament or any kind of med you might see in the 14th century. I did think she looked out of place as a kid though.
From a medieval standpoint, she could be a Spaniard of mixed Visigoth/Moorish descent.
>She's really cute tho
Not really, I was always confused as to why he liked her
My crush
You see her nipples through sheer as Josh Hartnet's love interest in another great movie, 40 days and 40 nights.
>She's really cute
>fun personality
Nah she's a fuggo c**t
BOOM BOOM CLAP
surprising what music they had back then
Because Heath passed away
The movie is how we used to picture the middle ages before everything became Ridley Scott shades of blue
i was trying to think of anything that even slightly comes close to this and the closest i got was pic related, which oddly enough came out a week before Knight's Tale
Heath Ledger died of a perforated colon like Mr hands. Covered up.
romeo+juliet
what, you meant something besides anachronistikino? be more specific
Because if they made more, it no longer would be utterly unique.
this movie and O brother where art thou were my grandma's favorite
used to watch them with her
miss ya gram
Your grandma was awesome.
Your grandmothers’s tastes were far too kino yet contemporary for a woman her age. How did that even happen
Do we have the same Grammy?
I miss your grandma too and this is the first time I've heard of her
It was filmed outside Prague using random Czech citizens to fill in as medieval peasants. As such it feels very real despite the anachronisms. It also features real steel armor on the actors. Being filmed in Prague, the actors spent all of their free time together and got drunk at crazy parties hosted by James Purefoy.
Heath Ledger was going through major imposter syndrome at the time, fearing he didn't meet the level of a Hollywood Star; which mirror's the character arc of his role in the movie.
When hired to play the blacksmith, Scottish actress Laura Fraser asked director Brian Helgeland what type of English/French accent she would have to use for the role. He let her use her natural accent which helped her relax in the role.
The after credits scene wasn't scripted it was just the actors coming up with an idea because they wanted to utilize the real medieval looking tavern they were filming in.
As such you get a really comfy movie.
I feel like part of it is that it's basically a sports movie that just happens to be set in the middle ages, rather than being an actual historical drama.
And we need more films like it.
It is a sports film set in the medieval ages. Jousting was the sport, and some fencing. It's basically the Western Medieval Europe's version of the gladiatorial games except without too many people dying.
This, we need to find new and inventive ways of mixing genres to create novel cinematic experiences
>William wanted you to know... that he changed his stars after all.
>has he followed his feet? has he found his way home at last?
>yes!
I had forgotten about the feels
This stops being cute when you realise his dad didn't send him to boarding knight school, he just sold him.
For a peasant thatcher having your son become a knights ward possibly even a squire was a massive step up
>ward possibly even a squire
Boy, please.
Huh? That's exactly what it was
Just like his father, we turned a blind eye to this.
I'm writing a novel like this, give me a line to put in it when it's famous someday
The black knight is here!
>Frick that homie!
Another equally good mystical Heath movie is Brother's Grimm. Most people don't even know it's him, which is why it's never brought up in Heath threads.
This first half was good, the second half was a slog.
I think the problem is the obsession with making everything into a franchise. The first Pirate's movie is fun as well, but then instead of moving on and making some other action/comedy/adventure thing they stayed in sequel mode. That could have been 5 one of movies like A Knight's Tale instead
Golden yearsss
They watched this and said, That's our Robert Baratheon.
Funny how I don't even think of Heath as anyone but the joker. Legit thought this was a different actor when I opened the thread.
morons filtered by DUH ITS OLD TIME WHY IS THERE MODERN MUSIC not understanding it was a clever way to show the audience how exciting jousting or ballroom dancing would've been for people at the time instead of doing something historically accurate and boring the audience to death like the typical slow boring pan-flute filled medieval movie
not to mention how 95% of all music in medieval movies is anachronistic anyways
a piece of music written in the 1800's is no more medieval than Queen
