CLIP DESCRIPTION:
William's (Heath Ledger) friends protect him when he is sent to the stocks for impersonating a nobleman.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Heath Ledger stars as William Thatcher, a low-born 14th century squire who, in a fit of inspired spontaneity, replaces his deceased employer as the competitor at a jousting competition. Jousting is a pastime only permitted to knights, who are of noble birth, but Thatcher wins and decides to continue his new pursuits. With the help of his two fellow squire friends Wat and Roland (Alan Tudyk and Mark Addy) and none other than the gambling-addicted Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany), Thatcher has soon adopted a false identity and is winning one joust after another on his way to a championship in London. His victories inspire the affection of a female fan, Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon), and the ire of a competitor, Count Adehmar (Rufus Sewell), but Thatcher's ruse is threatened with exposure.

"What a pair we make". The great Prince views the humble William as at least an equal. That teared me up knowing what was coming
I didn't realize when I first saw it but many years later when I watched it as an adult, the Prince was the guy in the beginning that said, "I'm done, but I have never not finished a match, I wish to retain my honor". Pretty strong argument for being nice to everybody, cause you never know how important they may be/become.
William honored his wish when he said he couldn't finish and didn't want to withdraw that way. The match was a draw, but the prince retired. Then... even knowing he was prince he went forward, because he knew the Prince was there to compete. It would've been more of a dishonor to withdraw than to ride. Both times they met, William showed respect and courage, making an impression on him. The Prince admired him and ultimately saved his life.
William showed every time they met that he was honorable and a competitor.... letting him bow out without having to humiliate him AND.... when told he was the Prince... acknowledged his competitive nature so he gave him what he wanted with out fear that he was a Prince. Like he was saying.... You wanna play ok... Let's play. The other competitors bowed out like punks but William tilted and said let's play.
@@FlipERoc Yes, the Prince was a man of true honour having genuine class - not the false kind defined by money and status. The Prince saw this quality mirrored in William, and hence the comment "What a pair we make". To the Prince, the knighting was about the acknowledgement of class and not the granting of it.
@@normancook965 I like that "acknowledgment" of class.. not granting it. Well said.
“This is my word… *and as such is beyond contestation.”*
This line gave me chills.
Same, literally. It's Purefoy's delivery.
That makes 2 of us
Absolutely, utterly love it: the man who will be King laying it out very, very plainly.
I love the aristocracy, their command, their vigour and strength.
Once gods walked this earth, and man killed them to fulfill baser instincts.
It's one of my favorite movie lines of all time
Prince was doing himself a favor too.
By knighting William he gained a very skillful sword fighter and the scariest man to ever wield a lance. Now he has something truly dangerous.
The love, devotion and admiration of a knight who will follow him to the depths of hell.
Actually getting to become a knight in those time was as simple as in the movie: You just needed someone powerful enough to say you were knight and you instantly became one!
EDIT: Typo.
More importantly. A knight willing to joust with him and not hold back /whiny voice "BECAUSE HES THE PRIIIIIINCE!!!"
@Marin Draganov
Simple, but not easy.
The very fact that most Nobles and Powerful wouldn't even care about lowly peasants.
Yes, you can have powerful people to knight you, but what are the chances of it? Very low to the point most peasants have more chance in war, to survive, to get enough merits and rise in rank and have low chance of being notice than the scenario in this movie.
@@chinaforcedorganharvest-me7062 There were enticements of knighthood to get people to join the crusades. Logic went like this: Knight a ton of them, most will die, and the few who return will be tough and battle hardened enough to be worthy of it.
@@wamyx8Nz Not exactly since in order to be knight, the Nobles need to provide them with full bodied armor, a sword and a battle readied Horse.
That's a lot of money right there.
That's why only those who have enough merits even worth the Nobles to take notice, get proper training and finally after all that has the right age, the potential to be knight.
Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you that would be enough. Swear to god this is the best line in the film
Especially when your men are Robert Baratheon, Vison, and Hobart Washburne.
@@JnEricsonx Jokers Henchmen would say the same. :)
The one after it makes it whole. "But you tilt when you should withdraw...and that is knightly too."
One of the best lines in any film I've ever seen for real.
@@mikejames4794 you're right. I couldn't agree more
God Paul Bettany is such a talented actor. I know most people watch this for Heath Ledger, don’t get me wrong I adore him too - but Bettany and his character I just can’t take my eyes off of. He is absolutely amazing
He is my absolute favorite character in this move. The way Paul portrays Geoff is fan-fricken-tastic
They are all as good as each other I think ,
Steals the film.
Agreed.
all of them are great even the main antagonist, that's why this is my favorite film of all time 🙂
No wonder King Robert loved tournaments and jousts so much. They reminded him of his old friend Sir William Thatcher
Oh I get it, cause it's the same actor. Though in Westrosi English, it would be spelled Ser William Thatcher.
but why would King Robert be friends with the Clown Prince of Crime?
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 smiling knight
'' GODS !!, I was young then''
I was wondering if someone was going to make a Game of Thrones reference. Good job.
The cut to Paul Bettany during the knighting is a mark of a master storyteller.
It definitely made that scene
It's like the moment washes over him like a wave of relief. They've been faking William's identity and singing false praises about him being a knight for so long, and now that his boy is an actual knight (in front of many people and by the black prince himself, no less) he doesn't have to fake anymore.
It makes more sense if you watch his deleted scene when he pleas for William
@@JBrander "your father heard that"
What more do we need to be inspired? He changed his stars
that was the moment he thought of writing the canterbury tales
Great acting from Ledger in this scene. When the Prince tells him to take a knee, all the way to the moment the sword touches his shoulder, you can see the shock traveling through him. He looks like he's fighting back tears as his wildest, most unbelievable dream is becoming reality right in front of him.
the nod Edward gives him, as though to reassure him "yeah, you heard right. this is happening", was so freaking wholesome
@@biggt0820 Even in that group of _extremely_ gifted character actors, James Purefoy still manages to steal the scene for me. It should be Paul Bettany's but most of it was deleted for... absolutely not reason I can imagine. His deleted speech is _incredible._
When Wash, Robert Boratheon and Vision help the Joker become a Knight, and he is knighted by Marc Antony.
Legends 👏
We will, we will, rock you.
Pirate Steve too
Wash first before Pirate Steve
Don't forget human Jarvis.
One of the greatest inspirational scenes in movie history, and all because he followed his heart. He made choices few other people would have, and was rewarded because of it. He was rewarded by the love and respect of his friends, a beautiful woman he likely never would have had a chance with, and the respect of a prince that will one day be king.
Didn't Edward the Black Prince of Wales die before becoming King?
@@Frankenballz He did. At least in this timeline. Most of the others, wherein he became king, turned out much worse by this point in history.
@@MandelaDefect There are other timelines? :)
Beautiful and awesome. I say this only because I was chatting to someone while I was putting the film on recently and said to them that it was poorly paced because the love story felt a bit tacked on. I don't know what happened in my brain between viewings, but I thought Heath Ledger and... the actress who played Jocelyn were friggin' fantastic together (as was her taking the piss out of that absurd, pompous guy in the cathedral at the end of her first scene) this time and that the love story was every bit as good as the rest of it.
...oh, and her foiling Adhemar's plan to embarrass Will in the dance scene, though that's mainly because watching Adhemar get relentlessly foiled while looking sullen is just a good time for everyone.
@@Pineappolis Yeah, it's fun watching him act superior in front of her, only for her to not be receptive to it, like when she mentioned Will showing Mercy. Adhemar says it's a weakness, and you immediately see her being put off by it. So he's pushing her further into Will's arms, leading to her helping him at the dance when Adhemar tries to embarrass him.
The look on William's face when he realizes he's about to knight him. Such fantastic acting with a single facial expression.
When he says "descendent of an ancient royal line" you can see him trying to maintain his poker face lol he gives a little smirk that almost gives the lie away :D
He barely hid it at all.
The thing is if you're powerful enough you can make a lie the truth. So it doesn't matter if he gives it away. Like the man said his word is beyond contestation.
@@Silmerano Well when you rule by divine right it's kind of hard ro contest. To do so would be to contest God.
It's a nod to Geoff who said he was descended from a line beyond Charlemagne.
To paraphrase another great man: “It’s good to be the prince.”
This movie is written off as a simple action film by so many, but it echoes the original work by Chaucer so well. From Knights in Ancient Greece to modern ideas in medieval times. Never fails to hit the mark
Massively massively underrated. It's a gem. It's so mathematical, in the classic style, the character layout, all 2, 3, 5. It feels satisfying. It's beautiful. I just love it.
And does anyone notice that among Adhemars forebears is Gilles de Rais? Bluebeard!
I think it’s gotten a reappraisal since Heath’s passing. A lot of people loved this movie from the jump, it CERTAINLY is a popcorn flick, but it’s a VERY well done popcorn flick, a little corny, but a ton of fun, witty dialogue, good action scenes, great cast, beloved popular music, solid score. It’s a high quality pop-movie, and there’s nothing wrong with being a pop-movie.
Every little boy wants to grow up to be an astronaut, but we all wished we could grow up to be a Knight.
One thing that I love about this scene, Edward doesn’t say, “Kneel,” he says, “take a knee.” Because this movie, above all, is a sports movie.
Wow....
I hear Kapernick was considered for this role
Lol, topical
@@alexandrahopkinson1748 LMAO
Greatest sports movie of all time
I'm glad that Mark Anthony survived and lived long enough to become a knight.
Fellow Templar Prince
The sun still shines, water still tastes good…glory is all well and good but... life is enough, nay?
yeah the only reason I know that guy is from Rome
I love you.
A knight? Ha! He is the Black Prince of Wales. Member of the English Royal Family.
"Your men love you.....if I knew nothing else about you that would be enough....." Such a powerful statement!
Jesus and the centurion
I too am in a position of authority...if I tell my men go here they will do it and I know it will be done
Jus as I know if you say he is healed I know it will be so
Jesus then tells him if only I could find such faith in this city
Go your servant is healed
Centurion leaves his soldiers comes to tell him his soldier is well....
Centurion turns to look at Jesus...he knew then whom he was dealing with. I could imagine he was one of the first Christians as well
@@cmac2256 it was a servant of the centurion Jesus healed, not a soldier.
“But you also tilt when you should withdraw; and that is knightly, too.” 😎
Since we watched this movie with my girlfriend, her favourite line when we have a disccusion is "This is my word, and as such it's beyond contestation".
"The man may be of humble origin, but he's actually descendant of a long lineage of ancient royalty."
"Says who?"
"My personal historian."
"May I inquire the name of that historian of yours, Your Royal Highness?"
"For what?"
"For research purpose."
"How are you going to do a research without your head attached to your neck?"
"On a second thought, why reinventing the wheel? Right? I'll just take your words for it, Sire."
funny. though Edward probably wouldn't say that.
he'd say "i will tell you all about it over a cup of wine, son. and while you are at it, i would like a commander for my vanguard in France."
Technically, he most likely is descended from nobility or royalty. Most people born in the last millennium or so are in some way if you go back far enough. Granted, it might be a billionth of a drop of noble/royal blood but there nonetheless.
As he said his word is "Beyond contestation" I.E. "Come on peasants call the future king of England a liar see how that works out for you"
@@joec9693 a certain Mr. Cromwell tried that and for a short period of time it DID work out. Long term? Not so much.
It's cool he frabricated the claim for 50 influence points.
I was in jail and this movie came on and myself and another guy watched it together we both knew every single line in the movie, other guys wanted to watch Jerry Springer and other bullshit, but we tilt when we should have withdrew and we watched this epic work of art and it's just one of those movies that can touch you to the core. We being inmates at the time, felt a connection with something greater than ourselves and inspired us like it had many times before. The other men in the pod could not grasp what the movie was about even though those guys arguably needed it way more then my friend and I. "How did the nobles become noble in the first place? They took it with the tip of a sword. Ill do it with a lance. A man can change his stars." Always remember that and keep it close to your heart. The world is rough and if your going to make it you got to be tough.
Fking LOVE THAT!
👏🏾👏🏾❤❤
They go from throwing rotten fruit at him to cheering him in a minute. The mob is fickle.
There's an entire speech from the herald that was cut out. That better explains why the crowd turned so quickly
Fuken commoners
People love a show.
you've seen sport right
?
Why they were they throwing fruit at him in the first place? Wouldn't they look to him for inspiration?
Amazing and scary how fast people will turn on you, isn't it ?. The movie portrays that very well.
just like real life
Indeed. People are iconoclastic by nature.
Oliver Cromwell said it best - "Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged."
mastick Whether you believe Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God- and I don’t- that story is probably the most horrific version of that ever.
They immediately went back to cheering for him too even though they were ready to humiliate him a few minutes earlier.
What a scene… Goosebumps even after all these years… RIP Heath Ledger
"This is my word, and as such is beyond contestation." what a killer line from black prince
Context is important. Prince Edward was called the Black Prince because he had a reputation for basically being a badass and ruthless on the battlefield. He asks William for mercy, and he accepts. Many others would not of done so. They have friendly and respectful exchanges. This act of kindness and showing Edward mercy ultimately saved William's life. William, a former peasant and squire, taught Prince Edward a lesson and reminder of what it means to be a knight.
This movie hits hard. It's a historical comedy, but breathes authenticity of life in ever scene. Purefoys character of the prince .. is amazing. He's an amazing actor. I loved him in hbos Rome. And he was in resident evil... A good actor all in all.
Stole every scene in Rome. And that's saying something considering the cast.
One of the best movies of Heath I've seen, The story and dialogues were surprisingly good for what you would expect from a movie like this. And I can't get over the fact of how perfect Heath would have been to play Prince Rhaegar...
Oooooooooooooooh!!!
This goes to show that the heir to the English throne is a powerful ally to have.
Also how you treat over people. Have he not been kind and shown him mercy, well then, the story would have had quite another more dark ending.
Who would have thought...
A lesson Richard Sharpe learned several times over.
Also goes to show how powerful the title of "Royalty" was and how it could be used by a good man of character.
It's so sad knowing that The Black Prince died before his father and never wore the crown. He would've been the greatest King in the history of England.
I doubt it. His father Edward III did pretty well without him
It is such a cool scene when prince Edward reveal himself from the hooded coat, it stunned the angry crowd into silence. That is what a true prince can do. That is power! Love it
Either that or the fact that his attending armed knights drew their blades which usually indicates that they mean business.
@@kaiserbender39 True, I'd get out of their way pronto when the swords came out. 😂
A truly amazing comment!
The way he said "This is my word, and as such is ABOVE contestation." such command. True royalty moment
Probably the best scene from this highly underrated movie, even I panned it the first time I saw it, but glad I came back to it a few years later. I mean just the acting talent alone should make this a mandatory watch if nothing else. Absolutely loaded with great actors, imho.
"Sir William"
"Your father heard that."
Funny part is when he says “contestation” and everyone looks like “wtf is contestation?!” Hahaha
Fun fact: James Purefoy told me that all the extras were czech, so didn't understand ANYTHING lol.
@@ramseyroyden2591 When they cheered during the Sword fights. They didnt know when to cheeer, so they had to be guided by an instructor to cheer, so that the spectators would cheer loud too. haahaha. so funny.
Also the horses are Czech, some locations are filmed in the Czech Republic. Actually, there is a lot of Czech in the film and yet everyone see only the French or English Medieval. :D
If you listen closely there’s a woman when he says and is such beyond contestation she says “ohh I like that word!”
contestation
/ˌkɒntɛˈsteɪʃ(ə)n/
the action or process of disputing or arguing.
"ideological contestation over social policy in the European Union"
Goddam, this scene. I love it so much. For all the lies and everything that he did to get to that point, it was his heart, and the mercy it showed on that one day that ended up mattering more than anything else. He could have done everything else the same and ended up in this exact moment, but without showing mercy on that one day, it all would have been for nothing.
“Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough.” .. what a line!!
Very underrated movie. RiP Heath Ledger, I'm sure we all missed out on some great films with you dying so young.
"10 things I hate about you" hes brilliant in that too😔
What a movie this is, every moment I loved to watch. Heath ledger has been so versatile in his expressions, he won everyone's heart .
I enjoy the "tilt when you should withdraw" line as a double meaning to his jousting and his actions as being honourable. Great film this.
That moment you realize it’s Vision, Joker, and Robert Baratheon. Dam I’m old
agreed
Don't forget Wash.
@@jakev48 and Lydia
and Marc Anthony all the way from Ancient Rome

a simply great scene from a very under-rated movie, which, in my view is much much better than a lot of people give it credit for. The cast are excellent, and the action sequences, the subtle and witty humour running throughout the entire movie, and the obvious enjoyment everyone got from the making of the movie, shine through every scene.....even the villain, black-hearted though he is, is very watchable and, dare I say it, likeable in his own way..........."in what world can you not like this movie.....?"
Who the hell would lust after Jocelyn,
When Kate is prepared to face the mob for you?
Kate was cuter and had a better personality too
The story of many better women's lives
Guys longing for some damsel in distress when these kind of Women would tear apart the gates of Hell to fetch his sorry lame rears back to Life in their arms
@@pendragonU Same with us guys. How many women see men as "just friends" when they insist on going after the bad boy or the loser, and when he breaks their heart, they wonder why, and go on to do the same thing again.
As I recall, Kate was still very much in love with her dead husband and showed no interest in Will beyond as a walking ad for her work and, later, friendship.
@@TheMightyThor83 girls go after the bad boy or the loser... me an actual loser and still single.. I think you meant girls go after rebel bad boys and winners my dude lol
"Take a Knee!" Oh yes, a wonderful moment. One of many in this fantastic clash of modern and medieval.
I love how he says it with a bit of humor like, "you've more than earned this."
“Your men love you.
If I knew nothing else about you that would be enough.” 😭😭😭😭😭
Can never get tired of this movie. Esp this part. I miss you Heath :(
I always forget how old this movie is. I still have my cinema ticket from the day i watched it. September 11 2001.
the balls to go watch a movie that day
@@gabrielsff im from germany, when i went into the cinema that morning because i didnt want to go to school, that whole 9/11 didnt happen just at the time. That was some later that day. i saw it on the news when i came home after the movie.
@@TheOnlyOneSpeedfreak weird, it's rare to see cinemas opening up in the morning, where I live
@@gabrielsff Its here too now, but it wasnt that rare 19 years ago.
Well, it would've been around 1pm in Germany when the first plane hit. So the timing is possible if it were a 10am or 11am show.
Vision, the Joker, and Mark Antony really out here. No smartphones or technology or anything. Just living in the moment.
I think ill finish all my emails from now on with: " this is my word and as such is beyond contestation" 🤔
Your men love you, If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough. What a powerful line.
"But you also tilt when you should withdraw" Best scene in cinematic history!Could and have watched it a thousand times and still stokes the fires in my heart! Any one who is reading this comment and understands the longing for our connection with our ancient ancestors who actually lived loved and died throughout that very location and that time .Thier memories and ghost of glory we will forever chase.
James Purefoy stole my heart. Everyone else is wonderful, but he's the one who stood out to me. I heard the women on set called him "James Puresex". Naughty!
In the name of my most royal Majesty, I knight thee.
Arise, Sir Loin of Beef!
Arise, Earl of Cloves!
Arise, Duke of Brittingham!
Arise, Baron of Munchausen!
Arise, Essence of Myrrh...
Milk of Magnesia...
Quarter of ten.
I start crying every time at "Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, THAT would be enough".
My friends didn't believe me when I told them that The Joker and Vision were once in a movie together.
How could they not? Lol
Seen this movies many years ago and it has inspired me to change my star.. R.I.P sir heath...
The world is a lesser place without Heath Ledger in it. RIP.....................
I love this movie so much, it's one I can watch over and over. To me this movie embodies all it means to be noble and honorable man.
"This is my word, and as such, it is beyond contestation." In layman's terms, what I'm saying is complete bullshitbamd everyone here knows it but noone cam do anything about it. I love that moment so much
That was basically the Prince's "Get Out Of Jail Free Card"
You play too many games, pal! The scene in the movie is a serious matter!
You don't become a knight every day! And deserving to be one takes a much longer time... You can take my word for it ;)
The Black Prince would be proud of the way he was presented in this movie
Maybe...but you know he ordered a lot of killing, right? Under his orders women and children were put to the sword for no crime of their own but as a message to the Bishop who defied him. Just as Edward of Woodstock was never called the Black Prince in his lifetime, many historic figures are adorned with legendary attributes that little resemble who they were.
I want that coat
Dragoninthewest I want the man wearing that coat! 😍😅
it looks like bear hide...
@Pandora Dale Normandy *
Damn beautiful coat! The red, blue, and gold Sigil is actually the crest of the black prince of Wales glad they got some things historically accurate
It's nothing more than a common bomber jacket with some glit paint.
There's something about this scene that this clip simply cannot do justice. I'm not exactly sure what it is... but for such a goofy film with a literal "hero's tale" story structure... the gradual build up to this moment really amplifies the emotion you experience seeing this scene for the first time.
I remember seeing this is theaters, and the line "...and that is knightly, too." left a knot in my throat I just couldn't swallow. Maybe it's Will's (Heath Ledger's) genuine look of confoundment by Edward's statement, or the shock on his face that immediately follows as the realization sets in on what Edward is about to do. Maybe it's the heart-wrenching speech delivered by Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) just prior.
What follows later is nothing short of wonderful. When Wat tells Will "That's your name will. Sir William Thatcher, your father heard that"... it's just a perfect payoff.
Love this movie.
Geoff is my favorite character in this movie
(My second favorite is that awesome coat)
"Ur men love u...if I knew nothing else about, that would be enough..." This movie was written so well!😊
Funny how people turned on him just because they got told to, even tho William was one of their own. And then when they are told he is from an "Ancient Royal Bloodline" they start loving him again. People are the worst sometimes.
There is a cut scene with Chaucer plucking their heart strings just before all of this.
its also because back then the monarchs word was not to be questioned.
Now I gotta watch this movie again. This scene alone gives me chills.
"this is my word, and as such beyond contensation"
"ah yes i know what that means!"
"ah yes contensation, my favorite meal!"
"contensation he says? i knew her!"
"oh contensation, i KNEW that was the reason i did this."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Contestation*
Straight out of a Terry Pratchett novel.
My words beyond contestation, is like a cool way to say "Because I say So."
"Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough.
One of my favorite lines of all time.
Heath was such a genius at acting, always liked him, and boy did he go out Big being the best joker so far
I prefer the extended cut of this scene. Powerful speech like that getting cut out is a crime
THERES AN EXTENDED CUT
All people have their favorite movies. This is mine. And I'll stand with it, like a knight.
Every time I tear up, EVERY STINKING TIME!
Same here
Nobilitas is a Grace also coming from the One Above Higher than Kings, and the Black Prince knew that too and recognized it. He was kind to my family when he welcomed them in Aquitaine exiled without Lord or Land. I would not be here Today if my family wasnt protected as he did recognizing in them better qualities, maybe they themselves would not have fared well much longer. This gratitude they passed and I read in memorials, however he didnt live himself more years to repay him. His brother was also a great liege to be loyal too for longer years, once in England itself. Their father raised them well. It's nice to see him portrayed in a positive role in this so lovely and inspirational allegorical tale (semi-musical too?) regardless non accurate historical facts and much license with all.
James Purefoy! I had forgotten he was in this movie. What a Marcus Antonius he portrayed.
Saw Paul Bettany in this role (he stole the show), then next saw him in Wimbledon and when I heard that voice of Jarvis, I knew it could be nobody else but him. So glad that he got to evolve into the Marvel Universe more than being just the voice of Jarvis. Cool to know he essentially played two characters in the Marvel Universe. Jarvis/Vision. This scene I know by heart. It is one of my favourite scenes in the movie, the rest being any scene Paul was in!
Have you seen him in Master and Commander? Or Inkheart? great in both.
I feel like the Prince just made that stuff about William being from a noble house all up just to sound convincing. Then he essentially went "I'm the prince so what I say goes. Deal with it."
When I was younger, I actually thought the prince's historians had traced William's family tree back to an ancient royal family. Now I see the prince straight up lied and played the "I'm the prince and my word is law" card.
cant get anything by you my friend.
Man, you are sharp!
Bosses can do that sort of thing. "These people are my friends and I care about them! Well we don't want to work!"
See how many of you get the reference.
@@thedarkknight9153 and then he told corporate where they could shove their overtime assignment...
I was 11 when this movie came out. It had a big impact on me as a kid, and is still a great film today.
Roland : "What's your name, William? I'm asking you, William Thatcher, to answer me with your name. It's not Sir William. It's not Count, or Duke or Earl William. It's certainly not King William."
i am STILL salty they never did the rest of the Canterberry tales in this films style
When this part of the movie came up it made it all the better as things like that actually happened in those days
Grown man here. This scene made me shed knightly manly jousty tears.
When I was a kid I thought the Prince had actually discovered that William was distantly descended from royalty. Only years later did I realize he was basically going 'I'm royalty, I can make my own truth'.
If you haven't seen James Purefoy as Mark Antony in 'Rome', you owe your self a ticket.
lol How ballsy of Bettany's character to sit down in the presence of the prince.
people: throw vegetables at him in anger
a few moments later: cheer at him
Pretty sure this dude played Antony on HBO's Rome
He did.
The Name's James Purefroy.
yes he did, and he is an amazing actor.
yep, one of the best under rated actors out there. If i see a film, and see him in it, I watch it, simple as that.
He was also the main antagonist in the show The Following with Kevin Bacon. Fooking amazing first 2 seasons.
i always think of Resident Evil when I see him
James Purefoy - superb actor
This film is one of my favorites because it portrays brotherly love unflinchingly. Will and his male friends are not afraid to share their feelings, regrets, dreams, and passions with each other at any time. They hug, they cry, they cheer each other on, they help Will learn to dance, they sew him a dress shirt, and in this scene Will’s friends are right next to him providing him comfort in his time of need. They do things that “alpha male” culture tells men are weak things and do it while being the most honorable, honest, loyal, and strong men of the entire movie. The man we despise in this film is the man who upholds physical strength, outward appearance, aggression, social status, and womanization as what it means to be a man. His character is a cruel man whose arrogance is his downfall. The strong and kind of heart will always win the day!
Mindless peasants. Throwing stuff at him and then cheering him a minute later. They do whatever they're told and never have an original thought. Masses of people havent changed
Yeah you tell ‘em
And before that they were his biggest fans
Well, yes, but... If you can find it, read the backstory about the making of this film. The crowd was composed of local extras who mostly did not speak or comprehend English. So, they only did what they had been told to do, on cue. They weren't following the immediate details of what was happening, and the end effect is a little stilted and certainly shows a bit of ... contradiction! I choose to ignore this, since this is a forever-favorite film.
THANKS for this knighting ceremony I was looking a line like this all over the net 😊
Mark Anthony, Jarvis, King Roberth Baratheon, Lydia, K-2SO and Joker (rest in peace Heath Ledger)
This scene always makes me cry :( I miss Heath Ledger.
As a child when I first saw this movie I didn't understand this scene. I thought he and the bad guy were the same character and understood that, after humiliating him a little, he knighted him so he could beat him fairly. Its a pity I didn't get It the first time but It makes for another interesting story
This is my word and as such is beyond contenstation
I really enjoyed this scene.......
One of the greatest movies of all time
I love the mob of people going from "kill him" to "our hero" in the span of 5 minutes.
I miss Heath, he was such a good actor.
this is awesome... joker, robert baratheon, vision, and marc antony all in one scene
Robert Baratheon, Vision, Joker and Resident Alien. What a crew.
I can watch this movie over and over I love it
