    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    William's (Heath Ledger) friends protect him when he is sent to the stocks for impersonating a nobleman.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Heath Ledger stars as William Thatcher, a low-born 14th century squire who, in a fit of inspired spontaneity, replaces his deceased employer as the competitor at a jousting competition. Jousting is a pastime only permitted to knights, who are of noble birth, but Thatcher wins and decides to continue his new pursuits. With the help of his two fellow squire friends Wat and Roland (Alan Tudyk and Mark Addy) and none other than the gambling-addicted Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany), Thatcher has soon adopted a false identity and is winning one joust after another on his way to a championship in London. His victories inspire the affection of a female fan, Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon), and the ire of a competitor, Count Adehmar (Rufus Sewell), but Thatcher's ruse is threatened with exposure.

      I didn't realize when I first saw it but many years later when I watched it as an adult, the Prince was the guy in the beginning that said, "I'm done, but I have never not finished a match, I wish to retain my honor". Pretty strong argument for being nice to everybody, cause you never know how important they may be/become.

    • @TheFlash3237
      @TheFlash3237 2 года назад +24

      William honored his wish when he said he couldn't finish and didn't want to withdraw that way. The match was a draw, but the prince retired. Then... even knowing he was prince he went forward, because he knew the Prince was there to compete. It would've been more of a dishonor to withdraw than to ride. Both times they met, William showed respect and courage, making an impression on him. The Prince admired him and ultimately saved his life.

    • @FlipERoc
      @FlipERoc Год назад +7

      William showed every time they met that he was honorable and a competitor.... letting him bow out without having to humiliate him AND.... when told he was the Prince... acknowledged his competitive nature so he gave him what he wanted with out fear that he was a Prince. Like he was saying.... You wanna play ok... Let's play. The other competitors bowed out like punks but William tilted and said let's play.

I don't know what happened in my brain between viewings, but I thought Heath Ledger and... the actress who played Jocelyn were friggin' fantastic together (as was her taking the piss out of that absurd, pompous guy in the cathedral at the end of her first scene) this time and that the love story was every bit as good as the rest of it.

    There's something about this scene that this clip simply cannot do justice. I'm not exactly sure what it is... but for such a goofy film with a literal "hero's tale" story structure... the gradual build up to this moment really amplifies the emotion you experience seeing this scene for the first time.
    I remember seeing this is theaters, and the line "...and that is knightly, too." left a knot in my throat I just couldn't swallow. Maybe it's Will's (Heath Ledger's) genuine look of confoundment by Edward's statement, or the shock on his face that immediately follows as the realization sets in on what Edward is about to do. Maybe it's the heart-wrenching speech delivered by Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) just prior.
    What follows later is nothing short of wonderful. When Wat tells Will "That's your name will. Sir William Thatcher, your father heard that"... it's just a perfect payoff.
    Love this movie.

    This film is one of my favorites because it portrays brotherly love unflinchingly. Will and his male friends are not afraid to share their feelings, regrets, dreams, and passions with each other at any time. They hug, they cry, they cheer each other on, they help Will learn to dance, they sew him a dress shirt, and in this scene Will’s friends are right next to him providing him comfort in his time of need. They do things that “alpha male” culture tells men are weak things and do it while being the most honorable, honest, loyal, and strong men of the entire movie. The man we despise in this film is the man who upholds physical strength, outward appearance, aggression, social status, and womanization as what it means to be a man. His character is a cruel man whose arrogance is his downfall. The strong and kind of heart will always win the day!

    Context is important. Prince Edward was called the Black Prince because he had a reputation for basically being a badass and ruthless on the battlefield. He asks William for mercy, and he accepts. Many others would not of done so. They have friendly and respectful exchanges. This act of kindness and showing Edward mercy ultimately saved William's life. William, a former peasant and squire, taught Prince Edward a lesson and reminder of what it means to be a knight.

    When I was a kid I thought the Prince had actually discovered that William was distantly descended from royalty. Only years later did I realize he was basically going 'I'm royalty, I can make my own truth'.

    As a child when I first saw this movie I didn't understand this scene. I thought he and the bad guy were the same character and understood that, after humiliating him a little, he knighted him so he could beat him fairly. Its a pity I didn't get It the first time but It makes for another interesting story
