“A Knight’s Tale” is a 2001 American medieval, adventure, comedy, and romance film and stars the late Heath Ledger as squire William Thatcher. This film is loosely based on Geoffrey Chaucer (played in the film by Paul Bettany)’s The Canterbury Tales.
I’ll begin by saying that it’s been a while since I’ve watched “A Knight’s Tale,” so my memory will be lacking. That being said, I can’t bring myself to love it as much as everyone else who’s raving about the film in the comments. Was the plot interesting? I guess. Although it takes points from Chaucer’s work, it does incorporate modern elements (including a racially ambiguous female lead) and great music from the 70s. Was Ledger committed to his role of a cool-headed optimist? Yeah. How was the set design? Great. How was the banter between Thatcher’s mates? Funny and charming. In the end, I thought “A Knight’s Tale” was pretty... good, but not outstanding.
I think I’d rewatch again, just to (try to) see what the fuss is about.
