    I read the book in school and plan to reread it, and so I watched the movie yesterday. I didn't like how the appearance of the Green Knight wasn't a surprise to the viewer, nor how it didn't interupt a particularly festive mood.

    I just started the Dark Tower books and I'm so excited. I felt lost at first, but after a few chapters, I'm feeling connected to the characters and story. It pulls you in so deeply, I often feel untethered to the real world. Only Stephen King novels can do that for me.

    Better Call Saul is basically watching Jimmy Break Bad. It's not as engaging as BB though. I nearly lost interest with all the relatively boring Lawyer clashing, Mesa Verde sub-plot.

    This poem was likely written by a north Staffordshire poet for the entertainment and edification of the family of Sir James Audley in memory of Sir James’ best friend and fellow Knight of the Garter, Sir John Chandos (who died a hero leading his men on a bridge in France). The Audleys owned hunting lands in the around Swythamley in far north Staffordshire.

    My list of what is WRONG with this film would be longer than the original novel. If you are going to remake one of the greatest novels in English history, you should, at least, read the bloody story. Gawain was a knight but was 'chosen' because he was the most holy and pure of the knights. The film opens with Gawain in a whorehouse??? Instead of being a holy and pure man who falls from grace, Gawain is a whoremonger, a drunk, a liar and a coward.

    Just a "normal" selfish man, a sinner, a coward, until finally gifted a chance to see how cowardness and lack of integrity leads to a life of pain. Perhaps only living through Christ are we truly gifted the same way. We find out...only too late. This can be an introspective, life-changing movie for our youth if they gave it a chance.

    I thought that the open door thing is a sense of amicable trust of Hoffa. You shut a door and lock it because of fear and for privacy. These are a bunch of old dudes that ain't dumb enough to not padlock their businesses. Even Peggy liked and smiled at Hoffa, despite how explosive his attitude is. Peggy does not smile to people who are corrupt, evil within, and plots in private. That last scene of letting the door open is an attempt of Frank for an open arm. I dunno, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar; sometimes a cheesecake is just cheesecake. I enjoyed the film without the symbolism on my first watch.

    ok, so maybe im just SLOW and smooth brained. the GN says, basically, "what is given will be returned rather small or large". so, why not just give him a clap on the back or a teeny tiny scratch. WHY the need to take his head?? also, the King tells him before anything is even started, "remember its only a game". wtf is THAT suppose to mean? is that suppose to mean dont take it seriously, its JUST a game?

    The sad thing is I enjoyed this movie more than most since AI's influence. Why make a movie that's exactly the opposite of a great book in relation to it's title character and lead? Especially a story so important to a shared people's cultural history. It is cruel to require so much in antithesis to the book when it's implied the audience should expect a somewhat similar ending with respect to the character we're going into the story being asked to vest our interest in. I understand the larger point about failing tests of chivalry, but again that makes this a different story that should have had a different name. Except for the film-makers desire for the use of the title villain there is literally no reason why this should be called Gawain and the Green Knight. Why am I being asked to anticipate failures of the lead in exactly where the book is requiring me to aspire to something better? And in a way the movie is tempting me not to notice, that's a violation of honest discourse and not profound but cruel. I think cultural appropriation can often be good, but this is a version how can be wrong and requiring the ignoble from the audience. That again is somewhat cruel, especially to people who love the book. BTW, Dev Patel as Gawain or if as a King Arthur would have deserved better. He did a spectacular job and I do not doubt that in a different movie the righteous sincerely of his performance would have shined through in a strength not in a movie that had not used the whole plot and entire movie to be used to apologize for. He and Connery are the best in these sorts of roles I've seen in my lifetime. But there is an impulse to think efforts toward sacrilege so necessarily deep that is really just lazy iconoclasm people have fallen for, and for that I mourn. Our generation is wasting it's superior story making abilities and resources thinking good and righteous stories are not worth telling unless completely self-obsessed, when the stories about the things bigger/greater but good are still all the best stories. How we define what is good is important especially with the influence of things such as AI, but making the negating antithesis ultimate to story and expecting how we define what's good relative what must be shown through story is also not the answer. The book has a whimsical more culturally faithful tone that this movie, however visually stunning in parts did completely miss. Sad because the book is just so much fun. And also I think such intentional omission says something profound. About why we feel the ignoring of how tests of chivalry having required tests of chastity (as so many of the knight stories do) so dispensable. The book is saying something modern masculinity and critics of masculinity could obviously be learning that our generation has put endlessly at odds because of obsession with sex. As much as I enjoyed the visuals of the wilderness landscapes of the movie and movies setting (outside of Camelot), it is saying something also about how our use of stories in our generation are both increasingly and decisively anti-historical and using our own history as an excuse being anti-historical by way of those stories. That we're using movies to employ a secularism stopping it's ears to any advice from the past, any advice except from the now and using stories as how and sex as it's ultimate excuse. Shameful and sad.

    i rationalize the de-aging issues by remembering that the story is being told by an elderly frank in a nursing home, we arent watching them as they happen.. so his memories of his young self are slightly diluted my the old man he is now…this is why i’m ok with some of the clunkiness of the de-aging

    Excellent video! I would only add that death hits harder in Buffy, when it's NOT a consequence of our heroes' actions. Certain deaths in the last 3 seasons (viewers know which ones I'm talking about) were not caused by anyone's mistakes. But their impact on our main characters and how they dealt with the loss and grief were absolutely explored in depth!

    Conrad Veidt, an absolute legend in cinema: just check out "The Man Who Laughs" or his role as Jaffar in "The Thief of Bagdad", and yes, Disney's Jaffar is an homage to him.
