Mr.Brian Helgeland
Movie Director
100 Star Street
Hollywood 90210
USA

Dear Mr. Helgeland,

My name is Samantha Stubbs .I am currently attending Kawana Waters State College, Australia , in grade 9.This term we have been studding the Middle Ages. We chose to analyse your film and review about our topic .I’m writing this letter to inform you about ‘’ A Knight’s Tale’’ and thought it would be appropriate and interesting for a teenage audience.

It was a fun interactive movie and also educational. I liked it how you connected medieval time with also the modern times. How you used medieval Crops, Setting, Characters and the modern music, clothes, language and make-up. How all the elements symbiotically connect it altogether that made our emotions and mind get lost in the imaginary world.
As I teenager myself I find that most teenagers like comedy,romance,action and thriller in the usual movie' s. You started off your movie with a popular song called ''We Will Rock You'', it gave the movie a extra dimension to it. The setting was set back in the Middle Ages that made is realistic but had a modern music twist to it. It intrigued us to watch more with the excitement of the crowd in the jousting stadium clapping and singing with the music. It was nicely set out with the Wealthy people high in the stands with chairs and the poor people standing up below. The costumes were very real as well with the wealthy wearing colourful clean clothes and the peasant with dirty plain clothes. At the very beginning there is humour display when Wat bites William and says'' now you see how bloody hungry I am''. It set the spark off.

We mainly focused on the last final jousting event which was the highlight of the whole story.
Sir William Thatcher fighting for his love and to change his stars against Count Ademar the bad knight trying to get the same girl as Sir William Thatcher. At the point there was different camera technique

    Basquiat Film Analysis

    I choose this movie because of the interesting reviews online. Not only were their reviews on the movie itself but also on a book written by Jennifer Clement titled Widow Basquiat. The movie portrayed the common actions of the people of the time well. It didn’t avoid the topics of drugs and homelessness in larger cities. It also showed some racism towards his skin color. Not only from others but from himself towards rich white people that he was working for. Overall I think that this movie did a very good job of showing his life, the good and the…

    Many elements made this an entertaining film. For instance, the visual elements such as the battlefield’s special effects. Also the romance, the faith, the hope, the honor, and the triumph made this a captivating film. This film had a lot of criticism, but people need to face the fact that this is not a historical documentary, and that it is just entertainment. Yes the film’s setting is in the past, yes the film is about the Revolutionary War, and yes it deals with history, but that does not automatically make it a documentary. I would definitely recommend this to another student.…

    A father of prospective knight started his son’s training soon after birth. Children’s play was the first step in learning how to become a knight. Toy pewter knights were given to young boys. “Edward I gave his son's toy castles and a nature siege engine to play with, and Richard II had miniature guns as a boy” (Prestwich 16). At the age of seven, prospective knights were sent to a castle of a noble to become a page. A page is a servant to a nobleman. The future knight’s servitude obligation was found in the origin of the word knight. “The word ‘knight’ finds its origins in the Old High…

    The Knight’s Tale movie demonstrates how the archetypal heroic knight creates a unifying viewing window from which a story can be viewed or perceived. William is this heroic knight, and represents a rallying point for the common observer to align with during their viewing. By its definition alone the archetypal knight is a desirable role that, internally, many wish they could fill. William as a character possesses this positive association, as well as being a more relatable character by being impulsive, headstrong, and rebellious. All of which are traits that the common man possesses to some extent, and thus can see themselves mirrored in Williams’s character.…

    Growing up, I always had a fascination with cameras, movies, and television. I like reading, but there is just something amazing being able to see it the screen. I always envied directors, writers, and editors because they make all of the stories we love and remember real. I used to make up stories and create movies, which I still do to this day. That is why, I vision myself as a movie director.…

    Macbeth Play Analysis

    • 965 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Review: Macbeth a visually striking period piece for the modern viewer We all wrote an essay about it in high school; Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” is so widely read that it’s surprising Justin Kurzel’s newest film is the first notable cinematic adaptation since Roman Polanski’s in 1971. Kurzel’s take on the Scottish play is a spectacle of haunting violence; he takes advantage of the cinematic medium and crafts a stunning aesthetic. As an adaptation, the film offers an imaginative reading of the familiar narrative of the eponymous Scottish general (Michael Fassbender, sure to draw a crowd at the box office) and his infamously manipulative wife (Marion Cotillard, art-house ace). However, in its attempts to be visually striking, much will seem to have…

    As time progresses away from the Shakespearean era, the central values of Shakespeare’s King Richard III are steadily losing touch with the modern audience. Throughout Al Pacino’s modern remake of Looking for Richard, many modern cinematic techniques such as the specific use of colours, rearrangement of the original text as well as comparisons made in commentary are heavily included. It is through such cinematic techniques that the modern audience is able to comprehend not only the central values that were significant of that era but also understanding the value of the play itself.…

    Thinking about the medieval times conjures up images in the brain of kings, castles, and dragons. However, one of the most common thoughts of a majestic man in shining armor accomplishing daring adventures, a knight. Becoming a knight was not an easy process, it required complete dedication to the craft, and a lifetime devotion to be a warrior. This essay takes an in-depth look at the current scholarly thoughts about the training that young children had to complete in order to become a knight, namely, being raised until a certain age inside the house to learn skills, becoming a page, graduating to a squire, and then finally taking an oath and becoming a knight.…

    The movie “A Knights Tale” is strange fit with medieval romance with a bit of a modern twist. It is the story of a young squire of “lowly birth” who is inspired to become a knight when the knight he works for dies. However, he is not of noble birth so, he has to get proof that he is noble forged. To summarize, he becomes very successful, falls in love with a princess and beats his evil archenemy. This movie is a modern classic of the medieval romance genre. It fits the main criteria of being “romantic” and it is packed with action as well.…

    This movie is a mixture of ideas and creativity. The graphics and computer work is almost impeccable. The makeup and the aging techniques were very well set up. The producer won best picture award. What triggered my interest I this movie was the extremely abnormal circumstances the main character experienced? The writer of the book and the movie producer managed to capture such an unpredictable and fictive story yet make it feel and look so real. The way the movie was produced, the detail was capture splendidly. This is what got me interested in this movie. The fact that I know that being born old will most likely never happen but yet while watching the movie I started to wonder whether it was possible. Of course, the biology behind the idea of being born old is practically impossible, for me when a movie provides a different mindset and gives me something new to think about, that is a movie worth watching. In my opinion, this movie is worth watching and I would recommend it.…

    The Retraction of Rizal

    • 877 Words
    • 4 Pages

    I like the way they showed clips of how one thing could’ve happened and how they added some funny details in it. It was very amusing and very reminiscent of the distinctive Filipino humor. The movie also showed the classic “pilosopo” in Rizal and in every Filipino too. It was so true to the culture. One thing I also liked about the film is that they found a way to make those boring but precious historical letters and documents easy to understand and made it very interesting even to those who are really not history enthusiasts. They showed the letters and documents through face to face interviews with those particularly involved persons who were already dead decades ago and were able to extract a different point of view from these historical figures. This makes the movie more fascinating and quite puzzling. It somehow distorts the ever so perfect image of our dearest national hero but reminded us that he, too, is a human being capable of typical human error and weakness like us. It was like an overlapping time setting. I really like the concept and how it was so intelligently expressed.…
