I loved this movie so much. The atmosphere is masterfully crafted. I truly felt like I was a kid again, being read a creepy tale before bed and being filled with wonder and slight fear.
We watched this on my boyfriend's birthday with his parents. His parents are very much fans of horror films and Westerns, blockbuster type stuff. I could just feel the WTF vibes coming off them constantly during the whole film. Poor people, they had no idea how to react to like... anything 😅
Amazing video! I saw this movie when it came out, and I think I was too young/immature to understand it at the time. Now that you have shown light on the message of both the movie and the poem, I think I agree with your take. The “not knowing your place as a result of maturity” aspect of the poem is a lot more relatable than a guy fully coming to terms with his death and being morally in the right. At least that is how I interpreted it. But this is not to say that one message is better than the other. These two messages are both really cool to think about and to frame my life around.
Great video! Loved getting extra insight in the original story. I was super surprised to see you’re such a small channel, the quality of this video is insane! The Green Knight is one of my favorite movies, so any content about it is a must watch on my part!
I love how well you dissected the video and the poem showing their differences and similarities. Loved the poem now I need to go watch the movie!!! Well done. 🎉
Watched this movie last month for the first time and enjoyed your discussion on the movie vs poem (which I haven't read yet, but definitely will!). Idk, I really really really love this movie, despite it having a different outcome then the poem, because it does talk about morality and chivalry in such an elaborate way. Yes, this Gawain is far from a perfect knight during his journey, but thats why the ending is so strong. During his travels he breaks every single of the knightly virtues, thinking only about his own glory, seeking honour in battle instead of moral actions. He visits the tavern instead of the church, gives out money only after much begging, ask a maiden in need what would his reward be for helping, forsakes his girlfriend, abandons his friend the fox. The life he witnesses at the Green Chapel shows what it would look like to someone who receives glory but does not value Life. With Gawain running away from Death (a death he brought upon himself by his own actions) he proves that he doesn't hold the fleeting fragility of life of worth. The story begins with him stating "I'm not ready" and ends with "I'm ready". About the green girdle in the movie- not sure, but I think it's interesting that it is given to him twice. First from his mother, the "Life Giver" if you will, given as protection on his journey and something he looses immediately as he's not worthy of it. And the second time by the Lady, who gives it to him not as a talisman for courage but as a reward for his lust/passions, something that now will keep him from achieving true greatness. (also, something something about the Lady and the gf looking the same, only one appearing more royal and mysterious while the other is simple and only asks for the love of a good man) The poem seems to say that there are other people/forces working against us that we can't control and that moral values can uplift a society but also hold it imprisoned. Sorry about this rant XD
I’m much more interested in your opinion on how a studio like a24, which presents itself as an arthouse studio, used AI in posters for Civil War. They claim to be arthouse, and chose to not hire an artist. It’s boggling.
