      Chivalry

            After watching the movie, I have some questions which puzzle me. And I have read some books about chivalry to find the answer to these questions. Now I want to talk about the relationship between knights and wars, courtly love.
           (Knights and war) I really enjoy this movie, especially the scenes of battle. As a Chinese, their fighting-pattern really impressed me. Our ancients used swords or spears to fight each other, but they didn't. And I was really surprised at the way of...

      Who's the knight?

           This is the story of a knight. Ivanhoe is loyal to Charlie the Lionheart, Ivanhoe is loyal to Princess Rowena, and Ivanhoe is loyal to Britain.
           The first crusade failed, King Charles was taken captive, and Prince John, the younger brother of King Charles, waited for an opportunity to usurp the throne. The Normans kissed John, the Anglians kissed Charlie, and the crisis was all over the place. As an outstanding representative of the Anglo people, Ivanhoe defeated five Norman...

      Heroes

      One of the masterpieces of British medieval knight movies, the plot depicts the confrontation between the Normans loyal to Prince John and the Saxons loyal to Richard the Lionheart. The Saxon hero Evanhoe worked hard to raise a ransom, hoping to redeem the captured Richard from the Normans, so he had a series of fierce fights with the villain Galiber. This film is adapted from Scott's best-selling book "Evan Ho". It is a leader in the epic films of Zeng Rong's struggle with TV. It is more...

      Slightly boring, medieval dress always reminds me of where is wally... Handsome guys and beauties are eye-catching. But...why does Robert Taylor here always remind me of the hotel lobby manager played by Tim Curry in Home Alone 2 playing around in New...

      In my mind, Ivan He is a thin young man with blond hair, not the dark-haired bearded uncle of Robert Taylor. The rebecca in my mind is beautiful and pretty and witty and brave, not this big vase like Elizabeth Taylor. In my mind, the scene where Evanhe fought the four knights in a row should be majestic and majestic, not like a pantomime. MGM is trying to use three stars to increase the popularity of the movie, damn...

      The changes to the original work are not small, and a lot of long-winded places have been deleted, but some of the fun has also been lost. Both Taylors are so beautiful in the movie! !...

    Evaluation action

    Much of the film deals with 12th-century politics, detailing not only the ongoing contempt between the Saxons and Normans, but also the prejudice against the Jews. In fact, so much of the interaction is centered on religious intolerance, negotiation, deal, ransom stalemate that when the main battle scene finally arrives, a flood of arrows, plumes of black smoke, makeshift bridges over the moat, Battering rams, countless corpses poured...

    Movie quotes

    • Ivanhoe: [on removing Wamba's collar] There! May your next collar be no heavier than a pretty woman's arm.

    • Isaac of York: Let Richard promise this instead. Let him promise justice to each man, whether he be Saxon or Norman or Jew, for justice belongs to all men or it belongs to none.

      Ivanhoe: But that is a Christian teaching.

      Isaac of York: Strange as it may be, so we are taught it too.

      Ivanhoe: What you ask shall be done.

    • Ivanhoe: Do you love England so much?

      Rebecca: Does a prisoner love his prison?
