Big budget movies don't spend 300 million on the movie. The marketing budget is usually bigger than what went into the film and a large portion of it is spent on pampering VIPs and wasting money on excessive and needless location filming and gratuitous effects. Every penny of this movies budget was spent wisely, by an artist who knows how to convey their ideas without being wasteful. 15 million dollars is a lot of money, if you know how to use it. It's crazy that people need 300 million to make a good film.

It's in the way he even gushes about all the actors, here and in other interviews. It's so cool how the philosophy of life he mentions at the end plays into the film - so interesting and important. The Green Knight is one of the best films I've ever seen - I don't think anything will compare to how I felt when I saw it in theatres (and I'm so lucky that where I live we were able to do safely).

The message of The Green Knight was beautiful. I've spent the last several years of my life pursuing greatness in a sense - creating stories and films with the intention of amassing a huge audience and leaving a huge impact on the world. My happiness was tied to that ambition for quite some time, but I'm learning to cherish every day, and be happy as I am. I still have high ambitions, but a comfortable, quiet, happy life is becoming just as exciting to me.

I adore films like this, that feel like you're literally just walking through life with the main character. There is a lot of space, quiet, a lot of observation, a sense of floating through time. I do wonder what seeing this film would have been if I hadn't studied the poem in college, but even still I have SO many questions. He obviously changed and added a fair few things. I would just love to dissect the artist's approach to this entire picture. As a storyline is the film perfect? No. But this film IS a masterpiece. Brilliant. So beautifully done.

I could tell this movie had a ton of effort put into it and that it was really trying to say something.

When I finished The Green knight I was rather immediately excited to hear other people's theories on the internet. After doing so, I have a much better understanding and appreciation of the film.
