  • From Drew Taylor's review of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Bluray from High-Def Digest
    bluray.highdefd...
    THIS IS SO FUNNY. It's a cheesy prime time making of special (remember when they used to have these? Oh, the early-'90's) hosted by an incredibly hammy Pierce Brosnan, who is wearing an entirely black outfit at night so he looks like his disembodied head from 'Mars Attacks!' Oh man. Pure masturbatory marketing ("the most anticipated movie of the year?" Pssshaw) but my how it does it take me back.

    I loved this film so much as a 15 year girl, I named a horse I rescued after Robin. Michael Kamen's Score is for me, one of the greatest. Love, hope, honor, courage, adventure, and a brilliant villain - it's just a great movie.

    Kevin Kostner is good,Russel Crowe is good,Douglas Fairbanks was good,but I think Errol Flynn was best. Few swashbucklers can approach Flynn's charisma on screen or off.

      I saw this when it was first aired, and I thought it was tongue in cheek at the time. He wasn't in a great mood with how his career was going and was dealing with his wife's illness.

      Largely intended for a US audience I would think, although Brosnan comes across like it's Hamlet in Stratford complete with the nod of the head and those pregnant pauses. I hope someone bought him a box of Jacobs to go with all that cheese.

    What I especially love about this is that Pierce Brosnan’s pieces to camera were filmed at Arundel Castle, which is in a completely different part of the country to Nottingham

      And he keeps slipping into a high brow English accent, when he is in fact Irish. Really this needed Roger Moore, Brian Cox or maybe Brian Blessed.

    I was fine until the audio edit at 28:58 when the "n" gets left in before the gap is added for (unnecessary) emphasis.
    Mind you, that is the least unnecessary thing about this film #PartridgeMeetsGarthMerenghi

    Oh my god. I had this memory of pierce brosnan talking about Robin Hood. Used to tell my friends when he was James bond. Do you remember him doing some documentary about Robin Hood and he was way over the top then I used to think did I dream that up.

    The modern Robin Hood character is an amalgation and the end result of a long story tradition. But the "real" Robin can be searched for in two ways; either by name, in which case we can see that there were several characters with the similar nick name, or by the settings of the early ballads (The Monk, The Potter, A Gest and The Sheriff), leaving only Robert Hode of Wakefield who lived in Barnsdale at the era of the three King Edwards and the High Sheriff Fauconberg. Unfortunately, many familiar elements such as Sherwood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, King Richard, Prince John, Robin's nobility and the iconic "giving money to the poor" are missing from the early ballads because these are later additions and changes to the legend.
    Fun fact: The so-called "Robin Hood hat", or the bycocket, became a popular fashion trend of the nobility, merchants, yeomans and foresters in the 14th century.

      In Medieval times life expectancy was very low and was only 36 to 38 years. Most people in medieval times only lived to 36 to 38 years old.

    • @johnm84
      @johnm84 7 месяцев назад

      Which is also the reason why people in medieval times had to get married and had to start having children at early young ages. Most women in medieval times got married and started having children when they were 14 and 15 years old and most men in medieval times got married and started having children when they were 16 and 17 years old.

    • @johnm84
      @johnm84 7 месяцев назад

      A lot of women in medieval times got married and started having children as early and as young as 12 and 13 years old and a lot of men in medieval times got married and started having children as early and as young as 14 and 15 years old. 18 years old was the oldest age women in medieval times got married and started having children and 20 years old was the oldest age that men in medieval times got married and started having children.
