I have been looking forward to this film for more than a month, and I have been psychologically prepared before watching it. It will be a slow, obscure, and full of incomprehensible metaphors. that's the truth. But the beautiful pictures and music still lead us into beautiful poetry full of medieval colors. It feels like playing the poignant and ethereal quality of Wanda and the Colossus. And the moment when the giant appeared really satisfied the shock brought me by revisiting "Wanda and the Colossus". However, in addition to that, after watching it, I was disappointed and couldn't give a high score to the film, but I also felt unwilling.
After reading Douyou's film review on The Road to Knights, I felt suddenly enlightened, so I went back and read the stories about "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "King Arthur", and as a result, I had a new feeling.
In the author's opinion, this film is a reinterpretation and elaboration of the legendary story by the director, and this interpretation is very realistic, bringing down the original Sir Gawain from the altar and turning him into an ordinary person.
This interpretation is actually reflected everywhere in the film. The following feelings only represent personal interpretations of the film. The director is challenging the description of traditional British literature. Although everyone agrees that these legends are not historical facts, it has also formed people's inherent memory of these legends, and many people still believe that they have historical basis.
And the director expresses this story in a historical way. We can see that history is recorded according to the narration of the parties, which is exactly the plot written in the original story. Gawain told King Arthur the whole story when he came back. How true the story is, only Gawain I know.
And the film has repeatedly used different versions of the facts to illustrate the discussion of the authenticity of historical events. Gawain who turned into bones, and Gawain who broke free from the rope. Gawain, who escaped and became a king, and Gawain who gave up his obsession with self-preservation. It doesn't really matter whether it's true or false, and the story told by the director is just one possibility.
In this possibility, what the director wants to express is to question the history and the heroic deeds of Gao Daquan, but the director is too extreme, or even a complete denial of the five virtues of knighthood represented by Gao Wen. .
Thinking of these, I watched this film again, but found that this film is really underestimated, so I will give it a 5 if I rate it again.
This kind of movie-watching experience is actually caused by accident. If you understand the original legend for the first time, you must have an inherent thinking about each character. After watching it, you will feel that it is a random adaptation of the movie, and you can't see it at all. The desired characters, plots and scenes. However, after reading it, I went to understand the original work, and when I looked back, I found that the director's settings were everywhere in the opposite direction.
Therefore, it is a good thing to not understand the background of the story. It is recommended to read it once and then understand it. Even if you are confused about the story, at least the visual effect is still good. After you understand the legend of Gawain and the Knights of the Round Table, you must have a deeper feeling.
In the final interpretation of the title, the outside of the window and the inside of the window are like two incompatible worlds. As for whether it is reality or Gawain's dream, I don't think it matters. Here I think it is a negative elaboration of the entire King Arthur story. The knights of the round table and the knights of the round table are also depressed and gloomy. Therefore, the scene of the war-torn world outside may be more like the real reality.
