your head fell off

1. The art, the picture, the composition and so on are really high-level, very gloomy and beautiful, and very clean. But it is not very entertaining, it is not too vulgar to say it is vulgar, and it is not particularly elegant to say it is elegant, and the audience is relatively small. There was no exciting one-minute rescue at the end, and the case-solving decryption came to my senses, a shocking reversal or something. I personally like this type of film very much, but I can understand that people who don't like it will find it boring.

2. The acting skills of all the cast members (including the supporting roles) are really online. Gawain, Gawain's mother, King Arthur, the owner of Green Castle, including the robbery boy, are really good at acting. It's the kind that doesn't use too much force, but lets you see that he's using the right amount of strength and restraint.

3. In fact, it cannot be regarded as a horror film in the traditional sense, it is more appropriate to call it a fantasy film. Without Jump scares, all the scary parts can be summed up in one sentence: the green knight lost his head, the lady by the lake lost his head, the male protagonist lost his head, in short, all kinds of heads fell off... A24 style is obvious: literature, art, There's also a bit of stream of consciousness. When the male protagonist found the green knight, he waited for a day and a night, and I even thought I was dead (the second swipe saw that the green knight's face turned into a little bit like the owner of the green castle). I like the close-up of the male lead being kidnapped: turning around and turning into a skeleton and turning back. All the skeletons in the whole film are quite beautiful.

4. Is the male protagonist dead at the end? According to several interpretations of the current comments on the Internet, it can be roughly divided into three types: a. The male protagonist thinks of his life after escaping and returns to his hometown, gives up the green belt, and fulfills his promise to let the green knight slash him. As a result, the green knight did not slash him, and he returned to his hometown. Step to the pinnacle of a happy life b. He gave up the green belt, or was hacked to death c. Everything is a dream (note that there is a scene where the male protagonist is lying on the bed before the expedition, and his mother wipes the sweat on his forehead, maybe It is a dream in sickness)

5. Who is the Green Knight in the movie? Regardless of the original setting (the green knight is the male protagonist of Green Castle), I personally prefer that the whole thing is planned by his mother and uncle (King Arthur) together (in order to exercise this unsatisfactory waste wood), all links, robbery The trio, the female ghost by the lake, the little fox, the giant, the master and lady of the Green Castle, were all conjured by his mother's magic. Although it is said that at the end, when the Green Knight woke up, his face changed a bit like the owner of the Green Castle, but if it is set according to the original book, the Green Knight is such a large number of things done by the owner of the Green Castle alone, and the motivation is more inexplicable. There are a few clues in the film that are irresponsible to guess: the female ghost by the lake said that the green knight is 'someone you know', and secondly, it is obvious at the beginning that the green knight was summoned by Gawain's mother, and every time Gawain passes As soon as it is cleared, he will give him back one of the things he lost. At the beginning, when King Arthur went to Gawain's house, he touched Gawain's face and said that you had mud on your face. At the end, when he said 'off with you head', the green knight also touched Gawain's face.

5. The male protagonist's figure is quite good, you know the director very well hahaha

    6.5 A fable, the trial of the knight. Test will, quality, and virtue. The opening ending is left blank, and the audiovisual is excellent. The aesthetic is unique, the gloomy atmosphere elevates the film, the pacing is a little too long, and it has a beautiful shell but no real core.

    It's a pity that I can't see the big screen, but the images, including the lighting, are great.

The Green Knight quotes

  • Green KnightQueen: [as the Queen's voice overlaps with the Green Knight's while she reads his letter] Oh, greatest of kings, indulge me in this friendly Christmas game. Let whichever of your knights is boldest of blood and wildest of hearts step forth, take up arms and try with honor to land a blow against me. Whomsoever nicks me shall lay claim to this my arm. Its glory and riches shall be thine. But... thy champ must bind himself to this: should he land a blow, then one year and Yuletide hence, he must seek me out yonder to the Green Chapel six nights to the north. He shall find me there and bend a knee and let me strike him in return, be it a scratch on the cheek or a cut in the throat. I will return what was given me, and then in trust and friendship, we shall part. Who, then, who is willing to engage with me?

  • Scavenger: You rest your bones, my brave little knight. I'll finish your quest for you. I'll finish it good.
