A Knight's Tale	comment	A Knight's Tale is a 2001 Genre-Busting medieval sports romantic comedy film written and directed by Brian Helgeland. Loosely based on the first story from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, it stars Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, and Shannyn Sossamon, with a supporting cast including Alan Tudyk, Mark Addy, James Purefoy, Laura Fraser, and Paul Bettany as Chaucer himself.The film plays like a combination of sports movies and romantic comedy, except that the sport is jousting and the setting is The Late Middle Ages (specifically The Hundred Years War). Our hero William is a superficial squire who, with the help of some humble friends, attempts to make his mark by posing as a noble knight, becoming Europe's best jousting sensation and winning the heart of a fine maiden.The film is notable for its gleeful embrace of Anachronism Stew, featuring 14th-century courtiers dancing to David Bowie and peasants doing the stomp-stomp-clap cadence from "We Will Rock You."

A Knight's Tale / int_13646b1b	type	My Friends... and Zoidberg
A Knight's Tale / int_13646b1b	comment	A variant with both instances carrying the same sentiment. Geoffrey twice makes My Friends... and Zoidberg comments about a situation, the Zoidberg being Wat who is standing next to him. The first time it's about women always understanding the simplicity of men and Wat just grumbles at him. The second time it's at the end of the movie after William defeats Adhemar in the final tournament. He states that he will write about the entire story and everyone in it, except Wat, who looks like he wants to fong him but instead laughs and side-hugs him.

A Knight's Tale / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Other anachronisms are put in for Rule of Funny and Rule of Cool. Kate puts her brand on Will's armour - the Nike logo. Jocelyn has a lot of hairstyles that are inspired by punk-rock and there's even a wooden version of the London Eye visible at one point. Some of the costumes are anachronistic because the designer thought they looked neat. While Anjou (of which the villain is supposed to be the Count) had once been an English possession (in fact, it was originally the seat of the Plantagenet family, of which the Black Prince was a member), by the time this movie is set, Anjou was a French possession held by the then current King of France John II, who the Black Prince defeated in battle at Poitiers, which is depicted in this movie. Armor at this time was usually painted or heat-blued, both for decoration and to protect against rust (galvanized steel wouldn't be invented for centuries). Most of the armor in the film is bare metal, with only Black Knight Count Adhemar wearing a suit of blued armor. This is a near-Omnipresent Trope for works set in The Late Middle Ages and is largely the Victorians' fault: they thought suits of armor looked better on display with the paint stripped.

Not only does he opt not to wear his helmet, he takes off all his armor, saying he "can't breathe with it on," because the chest plate was damaged enough that it was pushing at the wound and compressing his chest. Averted in most of the earlier jousts. In commentary, the director noted the convenience of being able to cut from shots of the actors, ending when they pulled down their face plates, to shots of the stunt men. And in the first joust, William used the damage to his face plate to justify not showing his face during the prize ceremony, which would reveal that he isn't actually Sir Ector.

A Knight's Tale / int_358d6f63	comment	Anachronistic Soundtrack: The soundtrack is filled with 1970s music such as "We Will Rock You", "Golden Years" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" that's deliberately out of place for the 14th-century. The intention was to convey that people of the era felt the same way about their music as a modern audience does about rock music. There's also the fact that the typical alternative, a full orchestral score, would have been just as anachronistic; most orchestral instruments didn't exist in the 14th century.

The historical Black Prince was well-known for conducting brutal scorched-earth campaigns that ravaged the French countryside, and to have despised and scorned the lower classes. Partly this can be seen as Protagonist-Centered Morality — the characters do mention his pillaging and burning of villages, and Edward's fondness of William despite him being lower class is motivated by William doing him two big favours earlier in the movie when he had no reason to do so, and willingly letting himself be arrested instead of fleeing.

A Knight's Tale / int_60194b82	type	Spanner in the Works
A Knight's Tale / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: The Dead Person Impersonation is nearly uncovered before it properly begins when the noble officiating the first tournament commands "Sir Ector" to remove his helmet when receiving his prize. Luckily, William took his opponent's lance in his helmet visor and is able to use the damage as an excuse not to remove it, on the grounds that he physically can't. In Paris, Chaucer organizes a bet with a trio of French gentlemen that Ulrich and not a Frenchman will win the tournament. Unfortunately, at the same time, Jocelyn demands that William throw his matches to prove he loves her (on the logic that winning, even in her name, just glorifies him and doesn't really prove anything about how he feels about her). Fortunately for the boys' and Kate's pocketbooks, after the first day, Jocelyn agrees he's made his point and tells him not to lose another match. In London, Count Adhemar follows "Ulrich" hoping to find something he can use to beat him, and spots him with his lowborn father and blows the whistle to the authorities, wrecking the band's scheme and forcing him to forfeit. Then Prince Edward ruins that plan by knighting William (to repay him for being a Nice Guy when he jousted William as Sir Thomas Colville) and reinstating him in the tournament.

Wat uses the threats "I will fong you" and "Pain, lots of pain" twice in the movie with different sets of words and Angrish spoken in-between the two. The first time is when he warns Chaucer not to betray him, William, and Roland. The second time occurs much later, when he helps defend William (who is in the pillory) from the angry crowd. A variant with both instances carrying the same sentiment. Geoffrey twice makes My Friends... and Zoidberg comments about a situation, the Zoidberg being Wat who is standing next to him. The first time it's about women always understanding the simplicity of men and Wat just grumbles at him. The second time it's at the end of the movie after William defeats Adhemar in the final tournament. He states that he will write about the entire story and everyone in it, except Wat, who looks like he wants to fong him but instead laughs and side-hugs him.

For most of the film's story, all the poor girl gets to do is stand on the sidelines and then have either a love scene or a fighting scene with Will, though she's lucky enough to get moments of witty lines and displays of spunk. She also kind of lampshades this: her initial rejection of Will is based on him treating her like this trope, as every knight who was smitten with her pretty face has done. She asks him to think of her as a person, not a prize, and when he does, she falls for him. Not that the audience gets to know her very well, she still fits the trope for us, as this is an unfortunate side effect of having to watch the story primarily from William's POV - some characters who might have been more developed individuals had they had more narrative time dedicated to them come off as shallow and unexplored characters, as is the case with Jocelyn.

A Knight's Tale / int_96b89043	type	Not So Above It All
A Knight's Tale / int_96b89043	comment	Not So Above It All: During the joust at the beginning of the film, there's a shot of a lord and two ladies looking rather dismissive of the commons loud (and anachronistic) singing. The next shot of them, however, shows the ladies clapping along and the lord actually joining in with the singing, perhaps caught up in the spirit of the thing. Roland is often the voice of reason and emotional centre of the group but he still has his moments of getting caught up in the other three men's antics. Example one, while Chaucer is teaching William how to dance, he joins to also say that Wat punches like a girl, then just sits back and watches the fight ensue. Example two, he pointedly ignores a group of French men trying to entice the whole group into an all-or-nothing bet on an upcoming tournament. It's not until one of the French men claim that the Pope himself is French that he retaliates by saying that Jesus is English and confirming the bet.

Sadly, it didn't actually happen, but at one point Jocelyn asks Will (who's in a very bad mood) what he'll be wearing to this dance, to which he replies "Nothing."

His public insulting of William/Ulrich elicts pained sympathy from Jocelyn towards William/Ulrich, and later on, when William refuses to finish off an injured Colville, Adhemar claims mercy is nothing but weakness, drawing further silent disapproval from Jocelyn and indirectly making William/Ulrich look better in comparison. At the ball, Adhemar asks Will to demonstrate a dance from Gelderland. He's obviously trying to cause embarrassment, but what he accomplishes is to give Will a perfect opportunity to invent a dance and put up any peculiarities to cultural differences, instead of having to try to remember the dances he had hastily learned a few hours before. By contrast, based on his comments in a deleted scene, Adhemar can't dance at all.

Wat seems to resent Chaucer's insertion of himself into the group, particularly his tendency to get himself into trouble and put the group at risk. Chaucer on the other hand knows how useful his clerical skills are and apparently has some disdain for the other's less refined skillset and violent tendencies. Wat's Hair-Trigger Temper gives him little patience for Geoffrey's elaborate wordplay and sly comments, while the latter clearly gets a kick out of goading him, which means that most flare-ups between the two result in hurt feelings from Wat, and bruises or a bloody nose for Geoffrey.

A Knight's Tale / int_c9954979	comment	Crippling the Competition: Discussed, then played with, and finally played straight: Following this, Adhemar plays with the trope by striking at Will politically, exposing him as a false-knight so he can't compete. When that doesn't work (because Will actually gets knighted), Adhemar resorts to straight up cheating by using actual pointed lances disguised as the tournament-legal blunted ones. The stabbing injury he inflicts on Will with one forces him to shed his armor and risk death to continue competing.

Example two, he pointedly ignores a group of French men trying to entice the whole group into an all-or-nothing bet on an upcoming tournament. It's not until one of the French men claim that the Pope himself is French that he retaliates by saying that Jesus is English and confirming the bet.

But, as most of them didn't understand English, the crowd hadn't actually understood their instructions, and were confused about when Chaucer was finished. When actor Mark Addy abruptly broke into wild cheering, the crowd finally got it and began to cheer as well. Director Brian Helgeland thought this was so funny he actually kept it in the film and reshot some sequences before and after to make their reaction more appropriate to the story.
