But all the actors became such close friends, even before filming and had so much fun during filming that they all demanded that it would be included, almost as a token of all the fun they had while making this movie

A Knight's Tale is one of those movies where you know if you will love or hate it from its opening sequence. It immediately makes itself clear that it is a sports film set in medieval times, and some people have a hard time accepting it for that.

it gets really frustrating to me how deeply misunderstood "Death of the Author" is. When written it was specifically tailored to the fact that Roland Barthes, spoke French Alergian, and was raised in a french education system. It had nothing to do with the reader reinterpreting text, and everything to do with the fact that French was the national language in a colonized nation, and Barthes thought that had an effect on the ability for people within his country to write political literature.

Chaucer was the first medieval author to write his poems and epics in English rather than Latin, so him being the crowd plaser manager is the perfect take on the historical figure :D You might be familiar with his most famous work, the Canterbury Tales. Also, the "interesting shoulder" on the armor was an addition specifically for jousting to protect the face even more. Generally speaking jousting armor was the heaviest and most restrictive armor used in the medieval times, because it was made to minimize damage by removing the weak spots of combat armor-- even though most of those weak spots were there to allow mobility on the battlefield. That torture device is called a pillory. Gallows were for hanging. The modern style elements of the movie were entirely intentional :)

Exactly, Norman French and Latin were popular at this time because English was still seen as too vulgar and not poetic or "sophisticated" enough for Nobility. Chaucer is known as the father of English because he proved it could still be poetic and elegant, and one of the first to really use rhyme. The title of the film "A Knight's Tale" is a play on some of his popular works ("The Canterbury Tales", "The Pardoner's Tale", "The Wife of Bath's Tale", etc.). Chaucer's depiction in the film is quite brilliant because most "writers" in the time still had to give performances or speak out loud, as most people were illiterate. So the grand speeches to the crowds is very fitting and how most of these Tales would have been shared.

@balintkovacs4089

@@Native_Creation I wouldn't say that most people were illiterate per se, since that depends on what you define as illiterate - for example, somebody might understand runic script just not Latin script - but rather that apart from church sermons and travelling minstrels, such performances were the type of entertainment available at the time. And executions too of course. As for the language popularity, I think it was the more prosaic reason that English nobility at the time was still largely of Norman origins, and clergymen - which in the case of bishops and such also overlapped with aristocratic living standards - spoke Latin; so those were almost the only the languages they understood in the first place.

If you look at any artwork from the renaissance and earlier, where they are depicting an aincent battle, they always show them in (then) modern armour and fortifications, rather than what they actually looked like. It's an anachronism *exactly* like the anachronisms in this movie, done either to make things relatable (or unintentional because the artists didn't know better).

Not just entertainment, the director wanted the audience to understand something about that period: that it was all modern to them! The hairstyles, music, clothing, and dance were all modern to them. Jousting was their sporting event. The Maximillion-style helmet flying off into the crowd was like a baseball. These events were like The World Series or The Superbowl. This is how the director connected the audience to the story. And it was brilliant!

You picked a good one for a bad day. Nicely done, Nat.

A Knight's Tale is one of my favorites!!!

One of the things i love most about this movie is that its a modern time sports movie peice of when it was made, and its was just set in medieval times, and its shows just how endearing and true the story is. Also when William follows his feet home, someone cuts onions....AnD iTs Me!! 😭😭😭

This movie was fun and a real surprise but I'm with you Nat. Fart jokes stink! 😄 Love Nattie's light bulb moment 😂

I appreciate you sharing the other side of things. You’re human just like us, and not everyone is happy and bubbly all the time. Hang in there!

One of my absolutely favorite comfort films, I'm glad you decided on watching this!

That movie has, and will continue to cure sadness for generations to come. It is pure feel-good cinema. The actors had a ball making the movie and it comes through, no matter what screen you watch it on.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more saddened by words that Nat said than “I don’t like fart jokes!” My heart is broken.

@@cmoney-3845 only reason I request it is because I'm a subscribe to dozens of react channels all doing the same movies. No one has done star trek except maybe three and only one reactor stay reacting to Pixar and Disney. At least it would be a different from all the others

Love this movie. Paul Bettany is also "nekkid" when you first see him as Vision in Age of Ultron. The actor who played Roland (Mark Addy) was also Robert Baratheon in The Game of Thrones.

One of my favorite childhood movies! I just rewatched this at work and decided to look up a reaction and was so happy to see yours! The actors are amazing, Jocelyn’s costumes are super inaccurate but beautiful, and the soundtrack was the only thing but country my mom played in her car. I still use the word “trudge” more often than I probably should thanks to Bethany’s Chaucer. I’m so happy to watch this with you.

Yass!! This was such a fun movie, with a chance to see familiar faces in their younger days, especially Paul Bettany as the over-the-top hype man. I'm kinda surprised that you didn't mention Mark Addy, the infamous king Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones!

I am really glad you enjoyed the movie, glad it made you feel better :). For me as well it is a go to movie for it's sweetness. I love the reveal of the prince and the respect and the line that is given back to Adhemar when he is ejected from his horse by William.

So fun fact about the little hype speech that Chauser gives after William wins in the sword competition. The extras were not fluent in English, so they weren't sure when they were supposed to cheer and missed their cue because they were so focused on Paul Bettany. So they shot the little look over to Roland and him cheering to get the rest of the crowd to cheer and it was one of the best examples of turning a bad take into a great gag i have ever seen

A knights tale was the movie I watched EVERY time I was sick as a child. Think I've seen it at least 10 times. love it!

This will always one of my all-time favorite movies.

I wasn't even born when this movie came out, so my first time watching this was on DVD when I was like 8 or 9. This was one of the movies that made me a huge fan of Heath Ledger, and it was because Heath was in "The Dark Knight" that I even gave that movie a chance (I knew nothing about Batman before that and had no interest in him). This movie is also the first movie I ever saw Alan Tudyk _and_ Paul Bettany in, so "A Knight's Tale" introduced me to a lot of talent and later prompted me to delve into the Batman universe. And of course, this movie on its own is a fantastic bit of entertainment. It holds a special place in my heart for all of these reasons. According to my dad, him, my uncle, my aunt and my cousin went to see this movie in theaters when it came out. The use of rock music in a medieval setting outraged my Aunt Karen (not her real name, but it fits) so much that she took my cousin and walked out of the theater during the opening scene in the arena when Queen was playing. She got so mad at my uncle for not leaving with her that she went home and left him behind. So, the mix of music and setting wasn't popular with everyone. But I loved the mix. And generally speaking, whenever my opinion is the opposite of Aunt Karen's, I consider that a win. ✌🤓

10:06 that was an outtake. They were filming in Hungary and they used almost exclusively locals for the extras in the film. Especially the crowds. They didn't speak English and so when the cue came for them to cheer they didn't, so Robert Baratheon (Actor Mark Addy) did that little "yay" and it triggered the crowd. The director loved it so much that they left it in and it's one of the biggest laughs in the whole film.

It's a fun film and a favorite amongst MANY of my friends and I who work at the Renaissance Faire ... (and yes, audiences DO try to get that chant & song going during the jousting tournaments). It's just good fun.
