The movie begins saying this is a story about a king, but not Arthur. Then the green knights note reads they will part in trust and friendship. So no... he didn’t die at the end people. They literally say that at the beginning. To put it simply He would have to leave alive to replace his uncle to become king, and he would have to be alive for their parting to be in trust and friendship. This is not ambiguous, he survives the ending.

I don't agree. That could be referencing the king Gawain could be or implying that the king we see is a more real version of Arthur. Trust could refer to the loosing of the belt and friendship referring to the respect that the act confers. Friend is, and especially was in the past, a variable term.

His mother showed up in the faces at the end on the green night as well.

When Gawain took the mushrooms, he saw a silhouette of Essel which transformed into a silhouette of the Green Knight.

I feel much better now that I know what I actually watched! Thank you ❤️

Loved this lovie

Small side note: Sir Gawain's mother is actually Morgause, half sister to Arthur and Morgain Le Fay. In the tale this is based in Morgain however summoned the Green Knight and for this movie they kinds just mushed the two sisters together into one.

I think I missed the movie, jejeje. Now I’m very interested in this film!

I think the ambiguous ending the best choice. The director's original ending, and the one from the original tale, are both unsatisfying to me.

The narrator in this was so funny

I went in knowing nothing about the movie and only watched the first few seconds of the trailer. I honestly thought i was going to see lots of fighting and war and how some guy became a King. Idk if I fell asleep but the 2 hours passed by fast, weird movie but interesting.

It’s surrealist. Very specific abstractions of concepts you maybe already know, they’re just being expressed differently. It’s a way of saying, “I am different and this is how.” This movie definitely makes the world feel very real. The cinematographer for the movie has gotten awards. You should watch “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” A surrealist movie written by a French director who’s made some interesting movies.

That thought never crossed my mind through most of the film, until towards the end when the fox spoke and the voice reminded me of her. Sometime after finishing the movie I realized that the Lord and Lady never acknowledged the old blind woman who was with them, but she was always "watching" Gawain, that's when I started putting things together (the similar blindfold and the fox). Looking forward to watching it again to see what else I didn't catch the first time through.

The Lord told Gawain that whatever you receive from the house you will give to me.

Now, if I am not mistaken in the original story the Lady kissed Gawain and since Gawain was a man of honor he kissed The Lord back.

I'm not an expert on english folklore, since I'm from Germany, but many of the arthurian stories were being retold in german folklore as well, for example Parzival. The eponymous hero has a half brother called Feirefiz, whose skin is spotted like a magpie due to his mother being a black queen. He goes on become an arthurian hero too. There are other examples of people of colour being present at Arthurs court. So at least in the folklore poc did exist and were heros as well. Also, a lot of the knights of the round table, respectively their fathers have a habit of traveling around and making children with exotic queens and dames, so technically there would be a lot of diversity among the knights. Gawain may not be a poc in the original poem, but my question to you is: does it matter? Is his skin colour part of the story? Does it drive the plot or shape his character in any way? If not, why can't he be a poc, as he very well could have been? Dev Patel is a handsome, talented, british actor (he was born in London, making him as english as you can be). Chosing him over a white guy serves two purposes I think. First: minorities are more broadly represented, meaning poc are finally able to pursue their acting career, just like white people have for over a hundred years in the filming industry. Second: Casting minority actors helps establish acceptance for them, reducing prejudices etc., whereas casting a white person accomplishes nothing, if he is not a better actor and more suited for the role. So why not cast a poc who plays the character perfectly and also make some minor political statement as well? I'm actually sincerely interested in an answer, so please, explain it to me.

@@hardy16able well it's not English folklore it's Welsh? Casting an English actor wouldn't be right. Casting an Asian English actor is even odder. England and Wales are different. England is the land of the Angles. Germanic people who came from Holland and other countries at the end of the Roman occupation. That is why English is very similar to Dutch. Gwalchmei, the original Welsh introduction, was a much more heroic character and he was debased though time and made evil or less heroic in later more Germanic tales. Why does it matter? Well it establishes precedence. You establish a character as something. If it become precedence establishing that Gawain was not a Briton (not the same as Britain but modern day Welshman) but an Asian from London it makes a nonsense of it all. In a world were there is not a shortage of roles for actors of Asian heritage, Dev Patel is not short of work or a struggling unknown, having him play a character who would have been living in a time of existential threat when the English were slowly pushing the Britons to the peripheries of these islands is not helping someone receive notice he needed. After all this is a low budget Indie film. I don't expect the American who made the film, who couldn't even be bothered to research how to pronounce words properly really cared. But then the Americans can't even spell correctly. I am very aware that Americans like playing fast and loose with history and mythology but like the films were they won the war without the British Empire or Russia, in American film making truth receives the first bullet.

​@@jonathanparkes8977 None of the other actors are welsh either. Yet you only talk about the "asian" as if that means he comes from a different culture than the other english actors when in fact the only difference to Ralph Ineson or Sean Harris is the colour of his skin. This is a fantasy world, therefore Patel is in fact not established as a Londoner, but as a part of this fictional diegesis. And in this diegesis, as I have said, people of colour are in fact mentioned all the time. And how exactly does it "make nonsense of it all"? I just don't understand this argument. no sense in regards to what? Also we seem to have a very different view on representation of minorities. Sure, it's become better in the last couple of years, but does that mean we should stop casting them now? Anyway, I'm quite certain we will not be able to agree on this specific point. Lastly I just want to say that mythology and heroic tales were always changing due to them being told and retold verbally for centuries. There is not that one original story, there are only variations. Therefore, changing this story in order to deliver a personal message as a director fits perfectly in the tradition of retelling folklore. Of course I understand the disappointment of people who wanted to see a one to one-to-one adaption of the poem, but that is just not how movies are made.
