At King Arthur's Christmas banquet, a knight in green came to challenge the crowd: whoever harmed him on the spot could get the wealth and honor he brought, but Christmas one year later had to accept what he returned. one strike. King Arthur was old, and his nephew Gawain accepted the challenge. Although he had been in the tavern and brothel all the year round, he cut off the head of the green knight, but the green knight lifted the head and rode back to his green church. . A year later, Gawain had to go to the location of the green knight to fulfill his promise, going through various tests and choices along the way...
In fact, at first, I thought that this film must be a kind of epic and magnificent. Although I almost didn't finish it, after watching it, I felt that his pattern was big, but the overall story was so small. Of course, after watching it After the movie, I learned about the background of the story and found that his pattern is not so small. It not only tells the story of the growth of a weak boy, but also shows the growth of a knight. Although I don't check it, I can't know.
The various challenges the protagonist faces are all corresponding, such as asking for directions and not being stingy as revealed by his own reward, helping others but thinking of the return first, facing a married woman and almost losing control, etc., but this is also him. The problem is that an ordinary viewer can only see the superficial level and cannot quickly resonate with the conveyed chivalry.
And I don't like the editing of the whole film, especially the reversal of the last paragraph. The illusion in front almost persuaded me to quit. I held back and watched it, but it turned out to be fake. The protagonist gave up the safety belt and was brave. In the original ballad, Gao Wen did not have his head cut off because of his bravery, but according to the director, it might end up being his head cut off.
At the same time, I didn't understand the last Easter egg at first, because it only told me that Gawain may survive and have a child, but who is the mother of the child, and whether it is the same as in the fantasy, this is unknown, and the whole story Without reading the original song, I can understand that he died when he was robbed, and it was all his imagination after that, because the whole story was too magical, I read it with the mentality of watching epics, and found that many of them were actually fantasy plot.
So that's the brief reason why the thematic and narrative scores are low in the ratings. If you know the relevant stories or are interested in this kind of medieval culture, then this film is really good, but also because the theme and narrative tend to be popular, the threshold is very low, the picture is very beautiful, and the service is very good. As seen in the restoration book, the art scene layout is very good, the details are very well done, and the soundtrack of the whole film is also very good, it is worth watching.
