i honestly would love to see david l take a shot at that book. it would be so different from sorcese.

Lord of the Rings.

@@squamish4244, eh….

@@wserthmar8908 Frodo travelling West is pretty obviously a metaphor for death.

It will be nice when we have some more tools to be able to accomplish this. Neuroscience has an enormous amount to give us in this area. P.S. the post-credits scene DID show that Gawain lived, and became king, and had a daughter who put on his unbroken crown...Hero's Journeys do in fact come to some sort of powerful apotheosis and a new understanding of reality. It's common to all the wisdom traditions in the world, whether Buddhist monks or St. John of the Cross.

Well said!!

Beautifully said

Very well said 👌🏼

I been trying to find the scene where sir Gawain is walking towards his mortally wounded son as trebuchets are firing on a castle. (It’s fuckin great cinematography right there)

Book? This is a old poem, what’s to deconstruct about it?

It's not a book. But go on. Tell us what movies YOU enjoy and think are worthwhile.

Damn, imagine being caught this bad looking like a tool lmao

Its not a book, stop pretending to be some weirdo intellectual, its not working lmao.

The classic poem is also a deconstruction of chivalry, albeit in a different way.

I watched the movie in a weird headspace alone at night and it got more and more disturbing. Then at the end it was like a lightbulb went off. "Oohhh." I also think the sickly yellow represents decay or rot of the soul. When his soul is cleansed the rot is gone.

The Best Film of 2021

The ending is what makes it. The film is about Gawain learning to be a better man and a better knight. In the end, he learns that lesson. Whatever you think of the film through your own subjective view, the ending makes complete thematical sense.

@@tombensonfilms5328 I feel sorry for him, yes he wasn’t a noble guy acting like a righteous knight. He screwed himself being rash and not thinking or listened to what the green knight had said when delivering the challenge. It made me think of the naive youth, quick to the action and don’t realize the consequences. I think in part he had to face it no matter what it because he kept Making a series of bad choices. It tarted from one bad choice to one after the other (as shown in the vision ) or face the music and get your head chopped off (the ending is ambiguous so either ending is optional)

@@tombensonfilms5328 you know he doesn’t die right? The green knight says “off with your head” and smiles, he means go off, with your head. He lets him go because he learns his lesson and has become and better man, and a better knight.

@@myrddin8673 from what I read from the interview with the director, it seems like it was left ambiguous because it would upset movie goers to see a well known actor get his head “chopped off” he played Gawain in this version brilliantly. It’s a very not knightly version of Gawain, but much of the film is great because of Dev Patel

Stick to Transformers and Fast and Furious. Your low IQ can't comprehend a good movie when you see one.

I have lived bravely but foolishly in my life…I don’t want to be looked at as a fool:( I’m ready to be brave..

But did he actually die or did the Green Knight recognize this choice and let him live to change the future? He was very playful with him with the last line of "Off with your head"

@@PKFire720 His life was ended by the Knight. The whole film is a test of his honor, and he fails and succeeds along the way, but in the end he finishes the pact that he made with the Knight. He stepped up to be the brave knight in the beginning to gain honor amongst his people, thinking he could kill the knight, but obviously he cannot kill him, and in return the Knight gives him one year to enjoy his life until he must give him his head. Sir Gawain being foolish and blinded by honor, thought he could kill the Knight and wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of the pact. In the end though, he made somewhat peace with his death, knowing it would complete his journey/pact with the Knight, and he would be remembered in the tales of his people. Back then that’s just how it was, there was honor in death, there was honor in your word. He couldn’t live with the fact of going back home and living a false life, as if he killed the Knight. He couldn’t bare the thought of the Knight returning back to his home and making him look foolish and a false King. It was in that moment he knew what he had to do.

@@eddiecardwell The Green Knight soared Gawain. With the removing of the Green sash and accepting his fate, the Knight realized that Gawain’s nature and philosophy on his own life and those around him had changed forever. This is all implied by the Knight running his finger across Gawain’s throat and his mischievous tone and smile that follows, this is all in contrast to his “just business” attitude only moments before Gawain removed the sash. He realized that the selfish gloryhound who feared death beyond anything else, was no longer the man he met in King Arthur’s court.

The knight smiled and said "off with your head" meaning walk away with your head still attached and take what you've learned and go live your life. That smile says it all to me. The director has mentioned how important it was to make that smile work the right way under all the makeup and Ralph Ineson nailed it!
