Why make such a movie (the green knight other than chivalry)

The part that is similar to the original poem does not need to study the test of chivalry's virtue. I just read it out with narration, and I don't feel that there is any need for nonsense. What I am curious about is why such a movie was made or why a24 is so "ruled". What is the purpose of a lackluster legend brought to the screen?

The whole story actually indicated the answer from the very beginning.

The bright line of the whole story is probably how Gawain, who is a knight, really became a knight, but the dark line is the strange knight in green. What is the purpose of the knight?

Compared with the original poem movie, the slight changes in the image setting actually point out the intention of the story.

That is the green knight transformed by the tree demon

At first glance, this change is unnecessary and not to mention the visual impact of this image does not have much impact, and also reduces the persuasiveness of the people at the round table and the king to quickly accept its challenge. Why do such a thankless thing? Does the Cavaliers make a replica of Groot?

Because the green knight here is no longer the tester of chivalry in the original poem, he represents nature

Gawain's mother summoned the green knight with the intention of letting it lay the foundation stone for her son's growth and Jianye. The green knight was summoned to challenge

You can hurt me, get my weapon, get fame and power, but then I'll give the damage back

Here the metaphor is self-evident.

Nature stands in front of human beings, harms nature, and uses nature to achieve development, but nature will eventually fight back. This is not a choice of will, but a common law.

But the damage geometry is entirely up to humans to choose

Humans cut off nature's head like Gawain

In the later story, Gawain experienced the test of chivalry. He had to face the temptation of injury, deceit and persuasion to persuade him to stumble to nature, but to avoid shouting before the axe fell.

Is this the end?

The green knight looked puzzled, didn't he?

Gawain thought that the hard work he had made to grow along the way made the green knight suspend the giant axe in his hand.

Just as man thinks his own efforts, his own purpose, his justification can stop nature from its vicious revenge

Nature doesn't care, nature just follows the rules and plays the game we all know

The clearest but also the most obscure delivery of the whole story occurs in a monologue by the hostess of the castle.

why is he green

Green is the color of the earth, the color of creatures and life

We use it to decorate the halls to dye the linen but if it climbs the cobble we wipe it down right away

If it blooms under our skin we squeeze it out

When we find it out of sight we cut it down and wipe it out and lay it on top of it and put it in our wombs but it always comes back soon

it doesn't joke it doesn't conspire

Uproot it and the next day it's easy for the edges to wiggle and regenerate

We look for red but always end up in green

Red is desire and green is what comes after desire

It is hidden in the heart in the womb

At this point, if I listen to this paragraph and it is not even a subtext and it makes me feel that the interpretation is superfluous, I still can't understand what this movie is trying to say.

Then you can give up the a24 movie, it's really not for you

Remember when you're gone the grass will cover your footprints the moss will cover your tombstone and when the sun rises the green will be everywhere

The earth will not be destroyed, only human beings will be destroyed

don't say anything Mother Nature is crying

Nature is not our mother and it doesn't care

    Literary-style drama. It is suitable for Wen Qing to blow, at least through this film to understand the epic original work. The story is obscure, the rhythm is extremely slow, and the suspense and epic sense created by the camera are wasted.

    The light, video, sound and painting are all very brilliant, but unfortunately the evil spirit is not enough, and the preaching is too strong. Extending the time infinitely and passing through several layers of space, it did not show much extensibility. How much vigilance the discussion of the lost classical morality has depends on how many cultural gaps there are in the middle. Personally, I prefer the ending, whether it is life or death, whether death is the way back, it is all acceptance and inevitability of self.
