A Knight’s Tale - Heath Ledger’s romantic comedy historical jousting movie - is an absolute classic. This analysis of A Knight’s Tale breaks down why this movie remains so beloved by a whole generation of fans. A story of friendship, found families, honour, and identity - A Knight’s Tale rocked us in 2001, and it still rocks us today.
🎞️ A KNIGHT’S TALE is a 2001 American medieval action comedy film written and directed by Brian Helgeland. The film stars Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who poses as a knight and competes in tournaments, winning accolades and acquiring friendships with such historical figures as Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany). Its 14th-century story is intentionally anachronistic, with many modern pop culture references and a soundtrack featuring 1970s music. 🎞️

When did you first watch A Knight's Tale?
I think I was in college. I remember thinking the Queen trumpets were kinda cheesy. Now being older and wiser, I know they were hilarious 😂
2001 on its release in the cinema
i remember when it first aired in Brazilian TV, me and my friends talked about it the whole month :V
My family rented it on DVD from Blockbuster shortly after it came out when I was a little kid. It quickly became one of our favorite movies, and is one I have shown to many people over the years.
Burnside High School, 2010. We had to study it for English class
my dad was in this movie! in the bowie dance scene, he was the dancer in a lime shirt and orange trousers. he's told me that when filming the shot where they line up and walk towards the other line, he was facing ledger and smiled at him during the first take, so ledger smiled back. that take made it into the movie!
That's the coolest thing ever
That's awesomely hilarious
That is so fucking cool. Gave me a chill up my spine. Your Dad had no idea who Heath Ledger was going to be to so many people.
That’s awesome!
I will look for your father the next time I watch 🎉
One very small thing to add to the long list of things to love is the character of Adhemar's herald. It is such a small role, but I love that they made the effort to make him more than just the bad guy's side-kick, and his effort to copy Chaucer's style is hilarious.
I love him too! He does so much with such a small part. His little clap for Will at the end is the icing on the cake.
@@PentexProductions My head cannon has him going on to great things thanks to Chaucer's influence.
Also the scene where he claps to William by the end is just SO well shot.
This is one of those movies i grew up watching that no one else i knew had ever heard of, and then found out over the years many other kids had a similar experience with it. Its easily one of my favorite cult classics, and i'm glad its gotten more widespread attention over the years thanks to the internet.
I find if you meet someone new and they know this film, you fast become friends. Not that it's 'unknown' or anything, it's just a great test of character! If they like this movie, they'll probably be alright as a person.
@@PentexProductions Well said! I rarely accuse critics of "not getting" a movie, or say that there's this clear divide between "critics" and "movie fans". I also certainly wouldn't want to ignore the 50 percent of critics who actually did enjoy A Knights Tale and gave it positive reviews. But looking at the reviews as a whole, yeah, I'd say A Knights Tale is one of those movies most critics didn't get and just didn't click with for one reason or another. (John Carpenter's The Thing would be at the top of my list of movies that critics really didn't get at the time). But if ever there was a great movie that was made for "movie lovers" and not "critics" it would be A Knights Tale.
It’s one of the reasons I become so I to medieval history tournaments jousting and whatnot
The first time I got it I was home with the flu when I was 8 years old, my dad went to the videostore and rented me this VHS in a portuguese dubbed version, which by the way has one of the best localizing I have EVER seen in dubs.
The movie immediatlly reeled me in with We Will Rock You at the start. Then I watched it, and I liked it. And then I watched it again, and I loved it. And then as I kept watching I kept finding new small things everytime.
Then HBO got to put this in their programming every few days in Brazil, so having memorized the script and having very little use for subtitles I started learning english from it.
Every few years I see it again, and it's always up there with Star Wars, Iron Man, Matrix and Jurassic Park as one of my favorite movies of all time. I love it every time.
Also, the title in portuguese (because we also usually localize titles, too) translates to "Knightly Heart" or "a Knight's heart", which really makes this one of the few movies I actually use the localized title when I talk to my friends because it's really good.
I’m there with you !!
I absolutely love Edward’s speech at the stocks. “Your men love you. If I knew nothing more about you, that would be enough. But you also tilt when you should withdraw, and that is knightly too.” “This is my word and as such is beyond CON-TES-TATION” it’s just so good 😭
Brilliant moment. I kind of wish they took out the bit where he claims Will is a descendant of an ancient line of nobles because it kind of undermines the entire theme of the movie (even though Edward probably said it as a ruse for the crowd to go along with it) but who are we to question it. He is beyond CON-TES-TATION after all.
@@PentexProductions 😂 he is indeed. And yeah I always took that as him making shit up to appease the masses but just doing what he wanted because he thought Will was a good man. Makes me cry either way 🥹
@@julietoconnor323 One of my favorite scenes for sure!
James Purefoy is so underrated
I once used the CON-TES-TATION line as part of a presentation for why I should get a promotion. You know I got that shit.
I went to a not-quite-Renaissance event where the "King" was inspired by this movie. Normally people hit each other in "armour" and that's what draws the crowd. This time he wanted each combatant's herald to try and out-Chaucer each other!
Amazing!
....and so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you...
Wholesome,imean its like a rap battl medial faire poetry style, but sounds amazing.
Iam aware bardsdissesand riffed on each other. Make that movie too.:P
More sobering than realizing that the 2001 release of this WONDERFUL movie was 22 years ago…is the fact that we all lost Heath Ledger 15 YEARS AGO….
Crazy to think how short his career was, but how much of an impact he made. An absolute icon.
Not like it is unprecedented, sadly.
Still makes me sad. He was a huge loss.
I still feel like it was just yesterday. Every film he made was a classic and usually because of his work. From this to 10 Things I Hate About You to The Dark Knight, he brought such passion and energy to every role. Such a tragic loss.
I’m 22 and I remember seeing this movie for the first time, the scene of everyone in the stadium, singing We Will Rock You was burned into my memory. Losing Heath Ledger just stung, after being a fan of this movie and an admirer of what an awesome human Heath was.
I have a folder where I keep "feel good" movies, those I know will pick-me up when I'm down. A Knight's Tale is in there.
Sometimes, the stars align to create something perfect, this movie is one of those perfect creations.
It's even more special because of the way we lost Heath. He way too young, and so talented.
Great addition to the folder. What are some other titles in there?
@@PentexProductions For me, Mystery Men is in there, too.
someone is torrenting lol
I'm a Social Studies teacher and I've always loved showing this film to my grade 8s. Also, the line at the bar that "the Pope may be French, but Jesus is English!" followed by the group getting rowdy is pure gold.
My teacher first showed us this movie in 7th grade and we all loved it!
I love this film. I once heard a commentator say after Heath died it wasn't a good film or much of a hit and I thought how wrong can you be. It's iconic! Especially the Golden Years bit. So glad there wasn't a sequel.
It's not a good film - it's a GREAT film!
The Golden Years Scene! I will never forget!
I can only wonder how bad a sequel would be
I rewatched A Knight’s Tale this past week and reacted the same way. This movie has no right being this good! If you said a mid evil movie but with a lot of modern stuff like spectators singing we will rock you, I’d probably say pass. It all works though.
People are always sceptical going in - then they universally love it!
I grew up watching this movie and it is a masterpiece. The score is so solidly lodged into my psyche that i play it when i need motivation to study. That and my family always quoted "its called a laaaance, helloooo" all the time. 😂
The score is brilliant - it really captures the sense of triumph and hope that drives Will to do what he does.
I agree about the score. I have the entire playlist saved in RUclips and will go back to it every few months or so!
fun fact; although the armor is used in the historically wrong period, the armor used are well representative of typical armor used in jousting. and fits their characters; the Royal Prince wears older traditional armor, Adamar wears the newest most expensive and complex armor. great analysis of the armor used by Jill Bearup; ruclips.net/video/JVVaMikwTcw/видео.html
Jill's video is excellent, as always. It also plays well to the sports movie trope of the hero having old, bad equipment at first compared to their competitors, to further make him/her the underdog.
IF it gets teh Jill Bearup seal of approval, then I know its got to be good!
@@PentexProductions And the latest by the end, to show they are ascendant. Makes for some good tension when he later gets found out, since by now the viewers expect victory.
I cry every time he meets his dad after so long.
It's so well set up by drip-feeding us the backstory we need throughout the film to understand just how much that reunion means for Will. The music in that scene is also absolutely golden.
As a medieval reenactor, my group LOVES this movie, we consider it one of the best representations of medieval times, simply based on how the ATMOSPHERE of the tournaments is so intense. The music is PERFECT for expressing that!❤👍
I hope you have a Chaucer-esque herald!
@@PentexProductions We can but DREAM of a Paul Bettany-esque Herald...😂 But we're well happy with the one we have, he does a great job, still.♥️👍
Would have been amazing if the cast got into reenactment, though...! Though sadly with Heath gone, it would also feel a bit sad...😢
A friend of mine is a medieval scholar and she often says, "If Chaucer was alive today he would write things like this. He would have loved the movie."
There was so much talent in front and behind the camera in this movie. It’s no wonder it worked out so well and everyone had such a great time working on it
Omg, you almost made me cry with nostalgia with this break down. A Knights Tale was one of the few romantic comedies that very much influenced my love of cinema but also shaped how I viewed love and friendship. This is my favorite comedy movie to this day. I had forgotten how good this movie was especially compared to movies now., The dance scene to David Bowie's Golden Years is one of my favorite dance scenes in a movie and introduced me to David Bowie, making Golden Years one of my favorite songs. The female characters are so well written and were actually relatable as a girl who was and still is as tomboy, especially compared to how women were portrayed in other movies' set in this time place or in this genre. And comparing the women in A Knight's Tale to the super Girl Boss characters we get in period pieces now, the difference and downgrade in writing is apparent. Thank you for your time, passion, and work for this video. It hit my heart and my mind in a meaningful way, that I won't forget.
What a delightful comment - thanks for sharing what this movie means to you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and hope (if possible) it helps you appreciate A Knight's Tale even more :)
This introduced me to David Bowie as well! I always wanted to find the mix that they use in the movie, it's such a banger
I couldn't agree more. Both women are allowed to express their feminine qualities in their own ways, but still showed they were unique and self defining their roles in society. They're such better representation of "strong female characters" than what newer movies all seem to do. They and Elle Woods are the best I found growing up.
The moment that completely wrecks me every time is when William appeals to Wat, "Wat, you and me? We are not runners." And Wat says, "Today, Will, we are."
Alan Tudyk plays it so well, smirking as he relishes the thought of giving the entirety of the the king's entourage a proper fonging, then his loyalty to William and the repercussions of that hit him. And Ledger's reaction to his fighting friend telling him to flee...
I love that final scene, everyone is on top form, but it's especially poignant coming from Wat since he's 'the funny one.' Would have loved to see him fong the royal guards!
Through joslyn and herswhere she tells him she happily gives upeverything away, which means a otas high lady. And generally she is a feminine women but still strong as character and her bein sassy is, its hard todoa character right without not letting her stay a woman at court.
This movie had a perfect cast. You wouldn’t change a single one of them for anything, as the director said them enjoying making it really shows throughout the whole thing.
There really is nothing I can really think of that I'd change - it's so well made from start to finish.
That doesn't happen by accident. Helgeland perhaps doesn't get enough credit due to the embarrassment of riches in the cast.
Generally it feels we are not having this many really sincere movies anymore. There's always a level of self-awareness in jokes etc that takes away from the emotional sincerity that we had in movies like A Knight's Tale.
Totally agree. The sincerity was a really big part of early 2000s movies that has mostly vanished since then while everyone tried to copy the MCU style of quippy, self aware humour. Thankfully it looks like the sincerity is slowly coming back to blockbusters (Top Gun Avatar, Batman, Barbie, etc)
And the knightstale is selfaware,or it wouldnt get away with all the anachronisms. Hellchaucer isgreat, but a poet telling a tale meta and make sure the messag isnt lost,while working as great character.
A knights tale issefaware ,it just also is extremely sinscere too. And the best kind,translats the fun into the emotional parts.
Far from cheapening it, this gorgeous analysis just made me love the movie more. Absolutely wonderful appreciation, dude.
One of the rare movies I can watch over and over. IMO, a masterpiece.
Infinitely re-watchable!
I guess you can say: if your heart is in the right place, you love this movie 🎞❤😘
A good test of character!
I miss Heath Ledger so much. It's been fifteen years and still so many people remember him with so much love. He had immense talent and charisma. Gone too soon...
I absolutely love this movie. And I was certainly not expecting you to cover it, but I sure am glad you did. And I for one wouldn't mind watching a multi hour long vid of you gushing about this movie.
Perhaps some day! I've thought about covering it for a while because I love it so much, but sometimes that makes it harder to put your thoughts and feelings down into words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Alright, you won. You made me want to rewatch this after close to two decades since my last viewing!
Enjoy!
Can’t believe my favorite childhood movie is still getting attention. Thank you for your beautiful review! The best I can do for now is like this video and subscribe to your channel 😊 Have a great day/night and I look forward to your future content!
Glad you enjoyed, welcome to the channel!
I think I saw it on DVD or VHS. It instantly became one of my favorites. Well done. Clap, clap. Unforgettable story. Great acting. Great smile.
The VHS we had must have been worn right out with the amount I watched it growing up. Replaced with the DVD and devoured all the extra features.
I have seen this movie many times. The reunion between Will and Dad gets me every time.
Also - any movie with Lowrider on the soundtrack is automatically made 67% cooler
Never forgot about this AMAZING nostalgic film that is always a joy to watch when im feeling down. Certainly in ny top 5 films of all time! So glad you've done a video essay on it!
Thanks for watching :)
An absolute banger of a movie, and one of those rare films I think EVERYONE should see. Thanks for going behind-the-scenes as much as you did, it was pretty cool to finally get an idea of how the film came together.
This film may be the single best example of the idea that casting and chemistry matter every bit as much (and maybe more) than story and script. Let's throw in a Hero's Journey, a redemption story, and - of course - a banging soundtrack, and we got ourselves an instant classic.
Love this movie.
I love the framing when William is being knighted and it cuts to a shot of Chaucer crying, Paul Bettany acted the hell out of that moment, and it always gets me. You can tell just how much they all care about each other and William in particular.
This is one of the movies on rotation my gf puts on while she sleeps. Reckon I've watched it over 100 times and never gets old
The ultimate comfort movie
Omg me too, university insomnia, I would put this on and still do sleep to it
One of my favorite films. Whenever someone asks for a movie suggestion of something they haven’t seen, this is the go-to.
It's always a winner
Welcome back my friend. Thank you.
I'm glad this movie has, and will continue to be, regarded as a classic. I remember watching it with no expectations whatsoever when it first came out and being completely engrossed from start to finish.
Great script, acting, direction, production and cast!!
I completely agree with everything you're saying in this video. A knights tale is one of my guilty pleasures.
But you left out the scene in the end, where William is saying his iconic line: I will not run -I am a knight. Always brings me to tears!
you earned yourself a sub.
great content!
Thank you! It's a fantastic scene and a fantastic line, sadly if I'd covered everything I might has well have just uploaded the whole movie!
It mirrors the scene where he refuses to withdraw once the mystery knight is revealed to be Prince Edward. He says "It isn't in me to withdraw" - if he flees when discovered, he would prove those words to be a boast.
This was the movie that made me notice Heath. That guy was a true artist.
It’s not an academy film, but it is a master class on how to seriously not take yourself seriously without using lazy fourth-wall breaks, callbacks, and references.
The thing is its genuine and serious,where it matters.The characters and emotions.
Its really how youcan tella good resonating story that is genuine where it mattrs while being from met caucer to the anachronisms, it all is taken serious, but also is fun .
I agree that its great example what you have to pay attention to,
and how fun and other actually make invest into drama and romance. and friendships.
@@marocat4749 it can be a tearjerker at moments too
The first time I watched this, it reminded me of watching the Princess Bride - a light hearted romcom that knows how to be funning and charming in all the right places with plenty of quotable moments.
They'd make a good double feature
This is one of those movies you can watch again and again, and still be in awe every time you watch.
Watch this in the cinema when i was a wee lad...i still think about it time to time, like "why isnt there a seque...oh right. sigh."
Apparently Helgeland drafted a sequel that would be about Will's daughter pretending to be a man to compete (like how Will pretends to be a noble) but it wasn't picked up. For what it's worth, I think it's all the more special for being a standalone story.
I loved this movie when it came out and have continued to deeply cherish its quirkiness and honest heart to this day.
It was the first DVD I ever purchased and call me crazy I put it up with LotR as the movies of my generation. I watch it at least once a year, and I think we need more of this. Great video
Hope you enjoy the LOTR videos I've made as well! AKT is absolutely a defining movie of a generation.
Was hoping this would get a full video after your mention of it last video, reminded me it's probably about time for my annual viewing of it
After the response to that mention how could I not!
Lovely video and yes, adore the film as well.
I don't know if anyone else has commented this already, but I love the detail of the constellation at the end of the film being Orion the hunter, considering that "hunter" is the nickname Jocelyn gives Will soon after they meet for the first time.
A great little detail!
24:13 THANK YOU for adding the necessary context! This part wasn't precisely improvised. The actor came up with it and it worked, but what we see was reshot from the original improv. This is normally what happens.
What an amazing film, I believe this is one of the first films I ever watched, I have seen it so many times but it still never gets old. Also the film playlist is killer.
Probably my favourite movie of all time. The cast, the score, the essence of it just hits different. This is the movie I watch when I'm sad, or bored, or sick, or happy, or nostalgic. I can quote almost the whole thing and do so on the regular, even when no one notices.
Heck, I even took my username from this film!!!
I saw it in the cinema when it first released in 2001, and watched it so many times on DVD growing up
Shannon and Heath actually have identical smiles, similar builds, amazing chemistry but could be siblings honestly
My mom bought this on VHS as soon as it came out. I've rewatched it at least once a year, thanks for the reminder for 2023.
Our VHS must have worn out with the number of times it was re-watched!
My dad randomly put this movie on for my siblings and I when we were little kids. I don't remember any of the plot but the scene where the characters come across Chauser completely naked scarred me as a child.
"The Pope Might Be French But Jesus Is English!"
That saying has stayed with me for 20 years. So fucking funny.
This is a classic and its now one I can watch with my kids. Its the best! My husband and I watched this when we were teens and now our kids get to watch it. It's all perfect.
Passing it down to the next generation! Love it.
I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video like this! Thank you so much! Definitely appreciate it☺️
It’s such a great movie with a beautiful message. I wish it was spoken of more. I actually met Shannon at a convention recently and she was so so sweet and pretty in person. Definitely one of my favorite movies🥹
One of my favorite movies of all times.
Years back, I moved, and one of the few things on my DVR was this movie. I watched it like 9 times in 2 days lol.
One of my all time favorite movies and I literally never realized that's where Roland got the idea for the outfit till you pointed it out 😅
Also, love the visual pun at about 7:00 😂 great job!
This was my favorite movie to watch with my dad he sadly passed and it still gets me to this day funny enough his name was Roland also and now I get to share this movie with my wife
"Your men love you, if I knew nothing else about you that would be enough." Truly one of the best fonging movies ever!
The director explaining that the 70s are the 70s no matter the century (directors commentary) is such a blatantly flippant hand wave, that it is brilliant.
A delight from first frame to last!
What a delightful comment!
I had A Knights Tale when I was a kid, half the movie on one VHS tape and the last half on another. One of my favorite movies as a kid, and to this day.
My little brother was named William after this movie. That says alot about my Dad's love for the movie. I also enjoyed it a lot, being already 10years old by then. I just shows how broad this movie's appeal was.
It is such an enjoyable and fun film to watch. The casting is superb, each of the actors clearly loved working there and it comes through.
the music in films like this tell you how the characters feels. in movies like shrek, the needle drops are telling the audience how to feel. simple distinction.
A rare gem, we probably won't see its like again
You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting no better a knights tale!
“Has he followed his feet?”
Gets me everytime 😩😖😭
This is to this day my favorite film. I know it beat for beat, damn near word for word, but every time I watch it I feel the joy of watching it for the first time.
I cannot say enough nice things about this movie. It would have been so easy to mess it up and make it unwatchably cheesy or dramatic, but the pure heart of the main ensemble cast and the willingness to mix sincerity and silliness makes it one of my all time favorite films. Thanks for giving it the write up and analysis it deserves.
I fonging love this movie ❤
I miss Heath Ledger he was one of my favourite actors growing up
One of my favourite movies of all time
You know, I'e realized I've never full watched this movie. It has been on in our house multiple times of every stage of my life, now that I'm an adult, I should really sit down and watch it.
One of the greatest movies ever. Still love & quote it ❤❤
Always glad to see a Pentex video. Also I love A Knight's Tale and have since I was too young and macho to admit it.
I remember going to this film with my mum and having the time of my life! It was absolutely one of the best films of the 90s and it's still in my top 10 favourite films of all time. The sense of humour, the beautifully written characters and the amazing actors bringing them to life, it deserves the reputation it has and more.
I've watched this film scores of times.
Never noticed Watt sleeping with the pillow hahaha
I wasn’t old enough to see this movie when it released, it wasn’t until about 12 years later where I found it. Been my favorite movie in all the years since.
I loved it the first time I've seen it, and when I am at my mothers house (I don't have cable) I still see it on TV all the time and will give it a watch. There's a reason you still see it running on cable, and it's because it's a feel good movie that everyone loves to watch. Truly a masterpiece and one everyone should watch at some point.
It was one of my favorite movies as a child.
I had no idea Lydia Rodarte-Quayle was in this movie!
Me and my dad watched this movie all the time growing up I had no idea this many people liked it
That opening scene with the crowd singing and dancing to We Will Rock You is so jarring. Such a good movie though. I first saw it on DVD when it was first released in that format and bought a copy shortly afterwards.
An ultimate feel-good movie. It came out when I was 21 and I remember just loving it. When my uncle died suddenly in 2005 he had this movie on DVD and it came to me. I treasure it.
A wonderful legacy to leave behind for you. Hope you think of him when you watch it.
I love when Jocelyn says 'yes, William, with the pigs.'
A friend and I recently got to introduce two of our other friends to this movie. Now they'll occassionally throw a "PAIN!" into the group chat, and I'm so proud of them.
LOTS OF PAIN!
Watched it premier day back when I was a kid!
My sister is my half sister, her dad used to live with us and he showed me a knights tale when I was around 10 years old, he got me doing the chest slam that William and the Future king do as respect.
We still do it to this day.
This was one of my favorite medieval film behind The Princess Bride as a kid. I used to watch the former on VHS but I loved a Knight's Tale whenever it was available on TV
My all-time favorite and comfort movie. I've seen it more than any other, except for perhaps Ever After. I could watch it everyday and not get sick of it. I'm glad you mentioned deleted scenes and ad-libs because I was so ready to jump in here with those each time.
It's in my top ten. So underrated.
I feel like you understated how good LA Confidential was
I had a wonderful time watching this in the theater. The other viewers were laughing so hard in so many scenes.
A Knights Tail is as timeless and good as The Princess Bride and Ever After. All three excellent movies that will just as good, fresh and entertaining in 50 years as they are now!
Man this made me tear up. ❤️
Just the title made me agree 😍 one of my most beloved movies ever.
Your analysis was point on!!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for making this, the movie is so underrated. Went to an Alan Tudyk panel at a convention and it wasn't even mentioned. I got to ask him about it and he said they had so much fun making it.
I'm glad you asked him!
