About the Book
The film "The Green Knight" is based on the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a classic work of Arthurian literature. This poem is a chivalric romance that tells the story of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, who accepts a challenge from the mysterious Green Knight.The Author
The poem is attributed to an anonymous author known as The Gawain Poet, sometimes referred to as the Pearl Poet. This author is believed to have been active during the late 14th century in the West Midlands of England. The Gawain Poet is also credited with other works, including Pearl, Patience, and Cleanness.Correspondence to the Film
The film adaptation by David Lowery takes creative liberties while staying true to the core themes of the original poem. The film explores the themes of honor, bravery, and the human struggle with morality, much like the poem. However, it also introduces new elements and interpretations to make the story accessible and engaging for a modern audience.Key Themes in the Book
- Chivalry and Honor: The poem delves into the chivalric code and the moral dilemmas faced by knights.
- Temptation and Testing: Sir Gawain's journey is filled with tests of character and virtue.
- Nature and the Supernatural: The Green Knight himself is a symbol of the mysterious and otherworldly forces at play.

Didn’t finish watching it. Another dreary story by Lowry, a director who seems to have mastered the formal filmmaking, but is completely devoid of talent. It seems that his signature trick is to realize any idea, even the most beautiful one, in the most boring way.
A peculiar and unusual story, composed of legends and tales. The movie is not for everyone. Dev Patel will be remembered for a long time in this role.
The day on streaming was not in vain. The film is online and will be watched tonight. As a major fan of David Lowry, I am anticipating a biblical movie buzz!
No, well, did you see, did you see? Opening teaser trailer. Along with Nolan’s film, this will be one of the films of the year for me. A priori.
Lowry’s mesmerizing audiovisual masterpiece that oozes top-notch existential philosophy. For a budget of 15 lyam, everything looks gorgeous. Patel looked organic for this hero. Legendary movie, in short. 2 hours of medieval fantasy trance. 9.5/10
I couldn’t take it seriously. What is so interesting about this simple legend that it needs to be turned into a 2-hour beautiful film? Colorful, yes, but what’s next? I, apparently, am not a fan of such legends, everything seemed deliberately long and just a dull retelling of an ancient fable.
It must be understood that this is a medieval knightly epic written in the 14th century, with all the ensuing consequences in the form of a plot, morality, etc. In our time, a little peculiar of course, but it turned out soundly.
The camera work, the lighting, the post, the presentation – it’s incredibly cool. I felt like a slightly stunned child.
The film’s positives are the art style, the cinematography, and the scenery. The movie has no other good points. Experiments continue in Hollywood about mixing races in films. Indian knights run around in medieval England.
The film is not as loyal to the random viewer. Without reading the poem, the viewer will regularly have an association with Ivanushka the Fool. The actions of the hero are as chaotic as possible, as well as what is happening on the screen. To justify this failure by the fact that this author’s cinema will no longer fail!
What this film is worth praising is: for the visuals and the musical accompaniment. There are no problems with this and it looks/listens great. But the story itself and the actors are sometimes ridiculous. I would have gladly read the book, because I decided to watch it only because of the hype of the film at the time.
Very good movie. Rarely when all expectations are met. I recommend watching.
The soundtrack, atmosphere and nature are magical. The rhythm of the story and the dark palette are mesmerizing. There is a scene after the credits (!)
Finally arrived and looked. Terribly beautiful atmospheric and symbolic philosophical tale. It’s amazing how you can change the original quite a lot and end up with a similar result.
put a class if you also eat mushrooms and talk with giants and animals
A film of growing up that reflects on the essence of honor and heroism, no matter how pathetic it may sound. The image of the knight is partially deconstructed, but the essence of the poem remains the same. Visually, everything is fine.
Sometimes a pretty picture and a sudden Barry Keoghan are enough to get high. And while the crowd was nodding off, I was racing through this perhaps overly metaphorical, but in principle understandable story about a millionaire from the slums who couldn’t… or could…
A straight-forward story about the journey of a small, frightened, selfish boy to his own courage and honor. Beautiful and filled with metaphors. And yes, the author’s handwriting of the director is very felt. His Ghost Story was just as meditative
A modernist fantasy road movie based on the legends of the Round Table, filmed in the style of a comic book film – pretentious and poseur. Which is good, stylish, and adds fatness to the dietary rhythm and leisurely mediational storytelling.
I can’t take this movie seriously. I feel like I was deceived at the beginning, and by the end I’m convinced. I don’t recommend this movie to people who aren’t interested in the principle «I’m a knight, this is my duty»…
The aesthetics of the film are truly incredible! Like a Survivor in the Beacon lore. Playing with exposition, beautiful shots, cinematics. This is a masterpiece from the time of the Lighthouse, I am very impressed by what I saw. That time when you don’t want the film to end. I admire the work done by the authors. It’s five
Perfect in its individual elements, but stubbornly not going into something whole-masterpiece film. Perhaps there is too little plot and too much contemplation.
This film can be described in one phrase – heroes are not born, they are made!
Very beautiful, too metaphorical and super boring. I didn’t care so much about what was happening, about the characters and all this imagery, that I even started to get tired of the visual. The director was too clever, and my assessment is for the sound and the camera.
And I would give it a 9, a great movie, I got exactly what I expected from watching it! And I’ve been waiting for this movie for a long time! The aftertaste is great, even after a month, my recommendations and yes, I will watch this story again, but at the end of the year. 15 million budget 🤩🤩 wow! The movie is like for me
