      Chivalry

            After watching the movie, I have some questions which puzzle me. And I have read some books about chivalry to find the answer to these questions. Now I want to talk about the relationship between knights and wars, courtly love.
           (Knights and war) I really enjoy this movie, especially the scenes of battle. As a Chinese, their fighting-pattern really impressed me. Our ancients used swords or spears to fight each other, but they didn't. And I was really surprised at the way of...

      Who's the knight?

           This is the story of a knight. Ivanhoe is loyal to Charlie the Lionheart, Ivanhoe is loyal to Princess Rowena, and Ivanhoe is loyal to Britain.
           The first crusade failed, King Charles was taken captive, and Prince John, the younger brother of King Charles, waited for an opportunity to usurp the throne. The Normans kissed John, the Anglians kissed Charlie, and the crisis was all over the place. As an outstanding representative of the Anglo people, Ivanhoe defeated five Norman...

      Heroes

      One of the masterpieces of British medieval knight movies, the plot depicts the confrontation between the Normans loyal to Prince John and the Saxons loyal to Richard the Lionheart. The Saxon hero Evanhoe worked hard to raise a ransom, hoping to redeem the captured Richard from the Normans, so he had a series of fierce fights with the villain Galiber.

      Nineteen-year-old Taylor is so beautiful and bright! Slim body, beautiful eyes, and comes with a beauty filter. The Jewish girl Rebecca's delicate and strong temperament can arouse a man's desire to protect too much, and it is too much to make men dare not underestimate her. No wonder Gilbert fell in love with her at first sight, and was even willing to give up his reputation to concede defeat to Ivanhoe, as long as she was willing to go with him. And beauties love heroes, and Rebecca already...

      "It's all the fault of fate, I fell in love with you, but you love Ai Fanhe." Compared with the original work, the main line has not changed, and all the details have been reconstructed, highlighting Ai Fanhe and weakening Gilber , Lionheart, and did not even let the leader of the archers assisting the siege reveal that his true identity is Robin...

    Evaluation action

    Much of the film deals with 12th-century politics, detailing not only the ongoing contempt between the Saxons and Normans, but also the prejudice against the Jews. In fact, so much of the interaction is centered on religious intolerance, negotiation, deal, ransom stalemate that when the main battle scene finally arrives, a flood of arrows, plumes of black smoke, makeshift bridges over the moat, Battering rams, countless corpses poured...

    Movie quotes

    • Wamba: Sir Ivanhoe, I heard an old bear and a young bear growling. Which is the one who would leave the den?

      Ivanhoe: The young bear Wamba

      Wamba: Alone?

      Ivanhoe: Alone

      Wamba: No sire, I will go with you. My servant's collar and all.

      Ivanhoe: Is your heart not here with the Lady Rowena?

      Wamba: No sire. My heart is in there with yours

      [touches Ivanhoe's chest]

      Ivanhoe: Then henceforth you shall be my Squire, Wamba.

      Wamba: Squire? Squire Wamba. Wamba the Squire. Why if it weren't this I'd be a gentleman

      [feels his servant's collar]

      Wamba: .

      Ivanhoe: We'll have that collar off as soon as we're away from here.

    • Sir Hugh De Bracy: If you can tear your eyes from your light of love Guibert, this black knight's tricks bare watching

      [noting Guilbert staring at Rebecca]

      Sir Hugh De Bracy: .

      Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert: I have been watching. He swings his shield low, levels at the head, but drops point before shot. I swear I've met these methods once before, but where?

    • Sir Hugh De Bracy: These glades go on forever. I hope we find shelter before nightfall, Boid-Guilbert.

      Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert: What do you fear De Bracy, Saxon hobgoblins?

      Sir Hugh De Bracy: No, a Saxon arrow in the small of my back. I wager there's a cutthroat behind every tree.

      Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert: Aye, and soon they'll be hanging from them.

      Sir Hugh De Bracy: Unless we are.
