Happy Feature Friday Folks!!

I know I probably should've done a poll for this week, but hear me out...

I forgot 🤪

Haha sorry! I also just had a really hard time coming up with a good poll when I was brainstorming. That paired with the minor back pain flare up I had just meant I really needed to watch something heartwarming and fun so alas, here it is: A KNIGHT'S TALE!

Hope you all enjoy watching this with me. I watched this on Netflix for those who are curious. Thank you so much for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, take care and stay golden!

I love this movie. When this was in theaters it was a very popular choice for couples to go see, because through reviews and word of mouth people heard that it is romantic, funny, has good music, and is about knights and medieval combat, so everybody wins with this choice. A handful of years later we heard that there was a sequel on the way for the Christopher Nolan Batman movie, that was kinda dark and menacing and cool, and that in the sequel the badguy was going to be The Joker, the crazy badass nemesis of Batman. "Who's playing The Joker? Heath who? Ledger? What, the goofy, handsome blonde guy who played the the Knight in A Knight's Tale, and the gay cowboy from Brokeback Mountain is going to be the insane killer clown in the Batman sequel? Bah, I don't see him pulling that off, he doesn't fit the role. They should have gotten someone more people recognize, someone with more attitude." I swear, everyone I talked to thought the same thing, including me. Damn, we couldn't have been more wrong. A big part of Ledger's success in portraying The Joker, in so far as the general public acclaim is concerned, isn't just about how well he played the part, it's about how thoroughly and dramatically he smashed the preconceived expectations that the viewers had of him before seeing it. It was such a huge departure from his previously most recognized roles, it was like he truly became a whole new entity, and A Knight's Tale had a significant role in building the preconceptions of the viewers.

I love this movie. No matter how many times I watch it, the reunion with his father always gets me. Roland is my favourite character, his love for William and his side thing with Christiana is so wholesome. And to this day, this movie still makes me crave tansy cakes with peppermint cream. Thank you for the great reaction Nat😁

Listen, the way I screamed NO at my screen when the Netflix version didn't have Chaucer's speech at the stocks. It's a deleted scene and it's the best damn scene of the whole show. Nat, even if you don't react to it, you gotta look it up and watch it. You can see in this version that when the prince revealed himself, Chaucer was red-eyed crying. That's because he'd just delivered a heart-wrenching speech, his best one. And you just gotta see it. But loved the reaction and so glad you gave this movie a shot! It's a true classic and really changed the game for the way anachronisms were used in movies like this.

jsyk “the canterbury tales” by geoffrey chaucer is a real book written a super long time ago. (i read it for english lit in 11th grade) it has a bunch of tales such as the knight’s tale, the roosters tale etc. the pardoner and summoner, the two dudes who stole chaucer’s clothes, are absolutely obliterated in their tales like he said he would do.

also if you’ve ever seen rockadoodle the cartoon movie it’s based on chanticleer from the rooster’s tale in canterbury tales

I rememeber when I first saw the trailer for this I thought the "modern" music was goofy. But when I saw it in context I loved it. The director said the reason given was to give modern audiences the feel of what it was like at the time. So rather than show a historical dance he showed the same feeling the dance gave by showing it how we'd envisage it. Same with the crowd with the facepaint etc.

As a medieval reenactor I found the modern songs and dancing very jarring. It was so anachronistic that it kept me from really enjoying the movie. Once I heard the director cometary where they were trying to show what the medieval person would feel using modern aesthetics and songs it changed how I saw the movie. Now I can see the rock and roll nature and look past the modern stylizations and I really started to enjoy the movie. It has become one of my guilty pleasures. And for those who didn’t understand who Jeff was, it is Geoffrey Chaucer. A writer and poet, most well known for the Canterbury Tales, and is often called “the father of English literature”.

I've watched this movie so many times over the years, but this is the first time I've seen the post credit scene. Didn't even know.

The paint on the face: Our brains are trained to quickly and easily spot a face. The paint is to break up the pattern of said face and make it harder to detect from quick glances.

I call it Period Mixed Modern, the style you mention a handful of times wherein the movie is set in medieval times but it mixes in modern elements. It's one of my go to styles when I'm directing a silly period comedy. I'm not aware of an industry term.

Yes please watch 10 things I Hate About You. Great movie, and Shakespeare is always relevant.
