Is that possible irl?

Caleb Davis
I know, it's just the best medieval movie I've seen. Maybe Lion in Winter, but Becket stuck with me more.
>sadly
If you can get past the scenes that look like they were filmed in a fish tank, it's pure kino.
Does anyone have the webm of them Carmina Burana sequence?
Zachary Ortiz
What? "All religions are beautiful"? Did you see what the Christians were responsible for in that movie?
>inb4 god wills it

According to Forged in Fire, I believe yes. The second Claymore episode, one blade cut clean through a pig carcass in one blow

le-golas kills 3 fully armed knights with a clay shard
le fire arrows
le armor does absolutely nothing
Absolute d o g s h i t and even if you disagree there, objectively only a fantasy movie and not a medieval movie.

>Sup Forums now siding with the muslims
I mean, I know you guys irrationally hate the Jews but this is too much.
Carter Diaz
I miss bavaria now.
Ian Roberts
>Lion in the Winter
Man, that movie was tight. Each actor played their character to the bone. Doesn't feel like a medieval movie though. It feels like a play transposed into film.
I need to rewatch it.
Bentley Baker
That's usually just the hardcore christians siding with their brothers in semitic faith. Most americans on Sup Forums fully supported the muzzie who shot up that Florida night club because in their book, a muslim murderer > a homosexual countryman

But the action in the messenger was fantatic
The scene near the start where the three trained templars just wail on those thugs was great. Shows what real training does.

Does this count as medieval? It's fucking godly

Not Medieval. Renaissance. Do you know what those words mean, or are you just blurting out movies that take place a long time ago?

It would be ruined with GoT bullshit anyway, but it's still my favorite book and the old movie is super comfy, minus the retarded costumes.
Nathaniel Lopez
That is legitimately my brother's favorite movie and he is not even retarded.

pretty sure he is

You're talking about a time period of ten centuries, you really think no good films were made of that era?

There aren't that many good ones,.
Gabriel Bell
He doesn't look to be swinging it hard enough to actually cut that deep. I think it might be possible, but you'd need to be quite strong and have a very heavy sword.

True, but I felt like this was even more the case with Becket.
Love both films though
Carson Rodriguez
When the fuck is The Man Who Killed Don Quixote coming out?
Dominic Butler
The Catholic Church at the time of the First Crusade considered Islam to be a Christian heresy, similar to Arianism or the Cathar of southern France, the target of the first true Crusade.
The Crusader States were actually pretty tolerant too, after the bloodthirsty fanatics of the First Crusade went home, the ones left behind were the practical and the devout who genuinely wanted to see a restoration of a Christian kingdom in Jerusalem, not just crush the infidels. They had to be accepting of Muslims because they were surrounded on all sides by them and needed to trade with them to survive since support from Christendom dried up somewhat with the conquest of Jerusalem and declaration of "Mission accomplished".
There's a well known account of Christian knight, newly arrived in the Holy Land trying to correct a praying Muslim he believed was facing the wrong direction and another in an Arab chronicle where the Muslim writer recounts an episode where a Templar saved him from a mob of angry Christian merchants.
The real travesty of that movie was the demonization of the Templars (Raynald of Chatillon was about as far from joining a monastic order as it's possible to be) and depiction of the Crusader States are far more motivated by religious fanaticism than they really were.
Carson Robinson
I enjoyed Kingdom of Heaven. Fair share of issues but Alexander Siddig redeems.

Just found out that John boorman's daughter was elaine(?) in Excalibur, who was the naked wench who was shagged by uther at the start.
Who the fuck could cast their daughter like that

With the recent surge in interest for medieval armor combat and shit like Kingdom Come, you'd think some hollywood hack would pitch something like a medieval John Wick, with period accurate armor and combat. I guess there isn't quite the neckbeard critical mass for it yet.
Boorman was always a degenerate, that's probably why he finds the source materiel so interesting. The guy who wrote Morte d'Arthur, Thomas Malory, was also a degenerate highwayman who wrote the book in prison.
Daily reminder that Percival > Galahad.

Good job thinking of the most recent major blockbuster everyone saw that fits the description, way to dig deep.
Nathaniel Lewis
Nah, the blade would be stopped by the ribcage/spine. Large swords were for piercing or hacking limbs off, that shot is pure Hollywood.
Brody Turner
>, the Muslims are the same as us
That was pretty much true in the historical context of the movie though
Secularism is what made the west
Ian Walker
Percy is perfectly imperfect
Levi Gutierrez
also the only good viking movie to boot
Jacob Gomez
What you consider 'secular' they would consider a more godly system. Enlightenment thinkers didn't think we'd be better off leaving God out of the system, they thought that deferring to individuals for God's advice was flawed. All thinkers before the industrial revolution were theists.
Anti-papacy is not secularism.

Time for Americans to cry how it isn't funny
Brayden Young
When the Raven Flies was ok.
Nathan Sanders
Exactly, he's a fully fleshed out individual. Even as far back as Chretien, he had a hell of a lot more depth than the other knights. I don't know exactly when Galahad popped up, but he's some shitty Jesus fanfiction. I suspect some court noble asked a poet to make a story about a perfect knight and he said "ok, how about we give Launcelot a son?".
Incidentally, the Star Wars prequels would have been vastly better if they were written with the Arthur tragedy as a foundation.
Luis Hughes
They didn't make movies back then.
Jayden Johnson

No one ever posts this literal masterpiece, and it's why none of you can be taken seriously when talking about medieval kino.

Ethan Mitchell
Flesh and blood is good shit man.
Eli Kelly
Andrey Rublev.
Michael Smith
Except Scotland was hundreds of years behind everyone else, so they may as well have been in the medieval age.
Samuel Thomas
First two are really comfy. Seeing human kingdoms wage pesky wars before all the demonic shitshow is more enjoyable in a hindsight. The design of the armors and some minor siege details are really nice too.
Funny how westaboo Asians are the ones who are glorifying knights the most in recent memory.
Jonathan Moore
Say what you will about the nips, they respect design.
Noah Brown
Dude, Chretien started the whole thing with Lancelot. He invented the character, completely. He was writing fanfiction, basically. He took all of the folklore and legend and the stuff from Monmouth's "History of Britain" which was mostly legends, and invented the genre of romantic literature. He wasn't a historian, he was one of the first commercial novelists.
Most of what people think they know of King Arthur is fanfiction, we know very little about the real man.
Joshua Edwards
It always amazes me when people get it wrong, it's one of the easiest time frames to remember - 5 to 15. Fifth century, to the fifteenth.
Daniel Nguyen
Best ITT
Sebastian Howard
It's a movie about swords, lords and kings, nigger. Just because it doesn't fit "historical criteria" for being named a "medieval movie", it still LOOKS like a medieval movie and it has the best god damned sword fight in film, ever.
Easton Johnson
I remember when I had to read Erec et Enide for French class. I wish someone had told me it was supposed to be low-key social satire, because it just felt like a bunch of people fleecing King Arthur for free shit.
Also the introduction for my Esenbach edition basically says that all chivalric writing went downhill after Song of Roland until Morte d'Arthur. I'm not sure if that's a great way to sell your book.
>tfw the Grail was originally just a rock
Sebastian Russell
FAB is a underratedly good Medieval kino
Sebastian Perez
Honestly for most people here, it's just a question of whether it's set before 1776. When I was a teenager I considered Last of the Mohicans medieval. I'm not proud of this.
