A witty and humorous western time travel drama.

The history of knights can be traced back to the Middle Ages. According to the armor worn by the characters in the play, it can be inferred that the background of the story is about the Middle Ages. Coupled with the appearance of the famous British writer Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, it can be basically determined. at this point. Of course, there is no way to verify the characters of Master Chaucer as a bad gambler and a forger. BUT these are not important. When you hear "we will rock you" (a song released by Queen in 1977), you see the people in the picture follow When the rhythm waved his arms together, there was nothing but a laugh.

The content of the story is very simple. Restricted by social class, only knights with aristocratic status can participate in the sports competition on horseback and thorns, and this event is deeply loved from the royal family to the commoners. And hard work, finally rewrote his own destiny, and harvested the story of love and friendship.

There are parts that make people laugh, and parts that make people feel touched. Effort pays off. At first, it was the training of inexperienced William and his friends. It was simple and simple, but it was persevering. Then he did not flinch in the face of a strong enemy, but instead prompted William to fight more and more bravely, accumulating experience and confidence in a large number of competitions.

Various plots reflect William's noble chivalry spirit although he was born in the "bottom".

Loyal to love - not to win the heart of the beloved girl, but to pay tribute to the victory of the game. In order to prove his love, he is willing to be "invincible" and hurt himself.

Kindness and justice - Knowing that his opponent is a royal family, he did not give up the game like others, but treated him fairly and gave him respect. And when the opponent expressed that he wanted to withdraw from the game decently, he did not pursue the victory, regardless of the high and low, treat others with kindness.

Be true to yourself - don't forget your origins because of honors. Considerate care for his blind father, so he was caught "little pigtails". When everyone was persuading him to escape, he had no timidity and would rather risk his life to meet his own destiny.

Of course, there are also various expressions of friendship. So, this happy ending is more of a compliment to all his actions than to please the audience. When most people are making the most choices, a few people stick to their hearts, and this kind of behavior will be touched to some extent. What is worth having is always hard to come by, only hard work and perseverance.
