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.

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!
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.
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.
A very curious and beautiful movie about the growing up of a hero going through a difficult spiritual path. Some details and metaphors were not understood and ideally need revision.
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
Still, it is difficult to comprehend the legend of the XIV century. Without historical reference, it is difficult to understand what was going on in the head of the inventor. It seems that Green is a metaphor for nature, but it seems not; like the Fox is Gawain himself, but it seems not. Perearthausili.
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.
This film can be described in one phrase – heroes are not born, they are made!
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.
Great film! Atmospheric. Creepy in places. Memorable. Gorgeous angles. Real fantasy. Worthy cinema
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 (!)
After this movie, I will stop drinking and smoking. The movie went from insanely beautiful to insanely boring and tiring. The legend did not lead to anything, and the main character very stupidly once agreed to such a dubious action. If you do not fumble in the codes, you are not in this movie. There will be questions
Nice picture, interesting story. Atmospheric. I love this. After the film, I additionally looked at Shulman’s commentary.
The storyline with a woman without a head would look good, by the way, in one of the Witcher 3 quests. Yes, it was with such thoughts that I distracted myself so as not to rack my brains unsuccessfully while watching.
What a dumb-horned snob you have to be to find fault with inauthentic clothes and crowns with a halo, so what if the English knight is Hindu, Lord … A screen version of a primitive ancient legend about gaining knightly virtues presented in a very beautiful wrapper, the picture is even wallpaper glue.
A juicy picture is available here, of course, but the author’s plotless cinema is not able to live without interesting characters. There are none here, so there is nothing to talk about.
The form is excellent, the content is not enough for such timing. I waited a few months before judging to see how the aftertaste of this fantasy parable would hold up. Alas, some successful visual solutions fade, and the essence remains sparse.
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
For those who are not familiar with the medieval legend about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, I recommend that you definitely read it. Vasnetsov’s picture, good staging, a strong legend at the core, philosophical themes, but… But there was not enough depth.
Incredibly immersive experience. It sounds a bit vulgar, but the atmosphere in this film is simply outrageous – slow, drawn-out shots never seem boring, but seem to immerse yourself in yourself. A mixture of folklore and mysticism under the a cappella soundtrack makes it goosebumps!
Oh, those A24s with their arthouses. And I roughly imagined what awaits me, but still decided to go to the cinema, check it out – suddenly it will come. No. The explanation of the plot didn’t bring me closer to the movie either. The soundtrack isn’t bad, but it only adds to the weirdness of what’s going on.
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.
A dull rethinking of an Arthurian legend. The morally obsolete story about fidelity to knightly rules, thanks to its incredible boredom, leaves a lot of food for thought about how much useful things could be done in 2 hours. Thank you, Sasha, but do not advise more films!
