William is Knighted | A Knight's Tale
"Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough. But you also tilt when you should withdraw and that is knightly too."
Words cannot express how amazing I think this line is
And yet today people actually think simply buying a square meter of land will actually elevate them to a title that is higher than the one William receives in this scene...
BEST. SCENE. IN. THE. MOVIE.
You are not wrong. So understated and yet magnificent.
As a kid I truly thought he did discover said linage, as an adult, I know he basically said "We did our own research and I say he's nobility, I'm the crown prince and you can't dispute me fuck you he's a knight now."
Oh, there most likely was royal blood. You just need one royal bastard (the original use of the term: child born out of wedlock) somewhere in the family.
So the research is as simple as "royalty waved their dicks around so much that there's bound to be some royal blood in everyone" then followed by what you said.
Haha😂😂😂 very true🤣🤣🤣
James Purefoy is an underrated actor. He always brings depth and intensity to his roles.
For real whenever I think of Marcus Antonius I think of James Purefoy
I love him. ❤
Oh absolutely.
He is the most believable royal I’ve ever seen portrayed in film. Doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes 😂
Solomon Kane💯
This would have been hilarious with the "constitutional peasants" from Monty Python Holy Grail in the crowd... "ooooh.. your personal historians,eh?!" 💀
Actually, if you listen carefully, when Edward says "This is my word, and as such is beyond contestation", you can hear a woman in the crowd say "Oh, it's like THAT, is it?"
@@Jas-ny7lm omg you can XD i thought you was joking but nope you can hear her
that's hilarious
"Come see the violence inherent in the system"
@@Jas-ny7lmNo one dared contradict the prince lol
The good part of "screw the rules I'm royalty".
More like “screw the rules; I make them”
Working title, right?
Thing is there isn't a rule against it, historically royalty could grant nobility to anyone. Wasn't super uncommon for high nobility to grant a peasant title and lands to protect as reward of exceptional ability such military service.
actually in real life , the prince power was vested in by his father the king so he could dub anyone who is worthy to be his personal knight , imagine to be the prince's and future king knight is way more value than be another noble's.
I always wondered if he actually had historians who discovered this, or if he decided that this guy was worthy of knighthood and felt this explanation is the easiest to hand waive “nah, he was noble the whole time. The paperwork got lost in the mail”.
Same, I always imagined it being some kind of technicality, but never the less an explanation that the public would accept at face value, hence why he threw in that bit at the end about his word being law, as if any of them needed to be reminded at all, but as a veiled way of saying don't ask, don't tell.
Nah, the whole point of the film is that a man can change his stars. Him actually being royalty negates that. Plus, you can tell Edward is making it up, that’s why he said his word is “beyond contestation.”
He needed someone to kill Adhemar, and thought William could do it? He had also talked to William during an earlier joust, plus seeing William's friends being loyal to him convinced him that William could be trusted.
So part need, part tool, and part trust. Prince Edward had likely been getting nervous about Adhemar's ambition and honor (or lack of it), and figured that William would be more useful. William had the basics (willing to fight, encouraging loyalty in friends), and by becoming a knight William's ambitions were dealt with.
Oh no, he totally bullshitted. Privileges of being a Prince and all. But who's gonna challenge the Crown Prince of England and call him a liar?
Could be both. The Prince could've gone up to his historians and been like
"Hey, I'm going to need some forged documents to give this guy some royal heritage."
"Sure thing boss."
“I will FONG you!” and “This is my word, and as such is BEYOND CONTESTATION!”
Two quotes I love to use.
Flog....not fong. To flog is basically the same thing as to whip someone.
@@erikatamayo1925 No, he definitely said Fong. And if you wish to contest it please see the two large men with swords over there, they'll be happy to take your complaints.
@@FerretJohn lmao smh. They don't worry me. However, I would like to know the definition of the alleged word "fong"
@@erikatamayo1925To kick or to f*ck someone basically.
@@erikatamayo1925 "fong" is an old English word meaning "to kick"
3:20 onwards; the moment has come where William's life has been directed since he was a boy. This is what he's been dreaming about. By taking that knee, with Prince Edward ready to knight him, that dream has crystallized to reality. This has always been one of my favorite scenes. That, and about leadership. "You're men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, it would be enough."
Your*
Chaucer's speech that was cut here was excellent but I must admit, i get why it was cut. The stated reason that it would detract from Edward saving the day and I've also come to appreciate how all of his friends are defending him (unsuccessfully) with their weapons and Chaucer tries and fails to defend him with his words. "Listen to me" just hits harder without the speech.
One of dozens of goosebump scenes in this movie. I can't see it often enough.
This scene perfectly encapsulates how fickle the mob is
I was just about to post this
A good mans fate, jesus christ being the prime example of the mob turning against the righteous
Humans are fickle creatures who would be your best friend and then your worst enemy in a heartbeat.
I just wonder how poor people throw perfectly good vegetables away. 🤷🏻♀️
Makes me think of Agent K's quote from Men in Black
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
To me, the completely silent but electric portrayal by Paul Bettany in this scene, is so so powerful. When he closes his teary eyes while William is being knighted, and you see him finally exhale, it’s just magical to me.
Right? Paul Bettany displays a master class of acting right there by simply closing his eyes, showing the depth of understanding of the significance of the situation his character experiences. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was moved by that simple gesture.
As a scribe, he's the only one there who actually understands what just happened. But at the same time ... he's sitting in the presence of royalty without leave. Big fautpas
Sadly, Edward of Woodstock (the Black Prince), never got to be king. He died before his father, and as such, his brother, Richard ascended to the throne as Richard II. We are talking about the mid 14th century, at the height of the 100 year war between France and England. I say sadly because the Black Prince was regarded as a model of chivalry and noted for his excellence as a military strategist, his generosity and his integrity. The Knight's Tale certainly did his character justice. In the three scenes he is in, both he, and the actor who portrays him (James Purefoy) steal the show.
Richard II was Edward's son.
I love this scene. Especially the knighting by the Prince. I felt pride for the Prince & SIR William. It makes me tear up a little. (Sniff)
Hell yeah.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The prince shows up.
Everyone: Oh shit.
This has got to be one of the best scenes in any film I’ve ever seen.
I really hope you've seen more movies since this comment.
… this is my word, and as such is beyond contestation!
what a way to say “I’m the shit and you can’t do anything about it”
Bet he was thinking "Damn I'm glad I showed this dude some mercy at that other tournament! Now I'll follow my lord wherever into battle"!!
I loved this movie! Rip heath ledger!
As a fan of this movie I will always remember this scene no matter what hands down
One of the best movies made ( honor) most people have lost it😞
Ok, can we all agree that this is the greatest movie of all time?
It's definitely my favorite sports movie.
And thus, a king had one *TRUE* knight.
And like that the prince secured the loyalty of the foremost tournament knight in the land. Really heads up move. Gotta love when the best thing to do is also the right thing to do.
Knighted by Marc Anthony himself
Along side of Robert Baretheon....
"I am your master, by the sacred oath under the standards of the 13th"
Could imagine this scene with "STAND AT F'ING ATTENTION WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU"
I wish Jeff's speech had made the final cut. It brings so much emotion.
It's still so depressing he killed himself... not only because it's sad that anyone does but for all the great movies you knew he would have made.
One of my all time favorite movies. Love it.
I didn’t realize till I watched again recently. Saying he if from an ancient line basically freed him from the need of multiple generations which was a requirement for many of the tournaments. They had to prove knighthood for up to 3 generations in an early scene.
It’s nice he had vision helping him
0:15 Robert Baratheon before he leveled up
Or before he found booze.
Hahaha...good one
Omg I have seen this movie (and GOT) a million times and I’ve never realized Roland was Robert Baratheon 😮
Well considering the actor who played Robert Baratheon was one of the friends….. Though the actor who played Edward the Black Prince would have been perfect to play the younger version of Robert if they had done a show of “Robert’s Rebellion” twenty years ago.
Its still odd to me that he had to go the route of saying hey we found some ancient lineage, back then you could be knighted for a multitude of things. Lands, titles, and princesses were things to be traded for good alliances and someone like this with the bravery of a knight I would think would have been an easy argument for knighting legitimately.
So, the answer is probably just the writing being dramatic. However, earlier in the film, they establish that certain jousting competitions had a lineage qualification. The reason the group picks up Chaucer is because they need his writing talent to forge fake Patents of Nobility establishing that "Ulrich" hails from several generations of nobility. When William was arrested, the tournament officials (tipped off by Adhamar) were asking to examine his Patents. By giving William an ancient lineage, The Black Prince is allowing Sir William to meet the requirements of entry for the current tournament and any thereafter. It may also prevent him from being retroactively stripped of his past wins.
@@joffrecordan Thats a good case
The crowd: "We didn't go to school! We have no idea what you're saying! What's contestation?"
Good thing he has royal robes and guards, because how do so many people instantly recognize this dude in an era before the printing press and paintings that actually *looked like* the things they represented
Remember that scene where he competed in disguise and later took off his helmet? The crowd instantly gasped instead of going, "wait, who dafuq is that?"
One of my all time favorite top 10 movies!!
Un caballero nace hasta del hogar más humilde, su valor, coraje, entrega, determinación y convicción son sus verdaderos atributos frente a sus enemigos...
R.i.p one of my favorite actors.
You got Robert Borathean, Vision, and Wash on your side, you bet you're gonna be alright in this movie
At the same time, your the F#cking Joker.
Underrated movie. Very fun decent story great actors.
"Now, if I may repay the kindness you once showed me..."
**Jabs him with a lance**
one of the best scenes in movies....
He became a knight the first time with a lie and officially a knight with a nother lie from someone no one dare challenge
Good karma. It’s good to be kind in general, because you never know the friends or enemies you could be making. 💯
I love this movie.
Alan Tudyk is amazing. I'm enjoying him in Resident Alien
The real Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock, was known to be a tenacious fighter and a brilliant tactician who often rode against the advice of his council in the vanguard of his army, and scouted positions personally. While the Black Prince did suffer some defeats, overall he acquitted himself quite well on the medieval battlefields of the time. Prince Edward was also known to have a disdain of the pomp and fluff of royal proceedings, and endeared himself to the lower classes by showing them mercy and kindness. However, this only applied to his own people - when the Black Prince was in enemy territory, no hovel was safe, no village off limits, true scorched earth policy. However, during actual combat, the Black Prince displayed a great amount of chivalry, skill, and fearlessness.. he was one of the greatest commanders to fight in the Hundred Year's War, and an immensely talented and deadly knight with all forms of weaponry, mounted or dismounted. To fight personal combat with the Black Prince almost certainly meant your doom.
The true mark of a ferocious warrior, and a great leader. One of England's finest.
I like the way the story board was plotted.😁😆😁😁😆 Sire William, I knight thee 😁😆😁😆😁😆😁😆
sir, sire was the king
I cry every time... I Just cant
AWESOME scene!!!
Damn it I love this film!!
I love this movie
Great movie amazing talent rest in peace 🙏😇❤️heath legder
“Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough.”
I cannot think of a better compliment, or a better standard for what it means to be a good leader. This was SUCH a a great scene!!!
He is the same guy as us, from our yard, who was able to reach the heavens and get a star
I wish Queen could have done the sound tract for the movie, it would have been epic.
Meanwhile, in Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
Balian: "Ayt, imma knight a couple dozen randos at the same time, no 'royal blood' needed."
0:33 she looks little bit assasin with the 2 hammer and ready to fight position
Greatest all time ❤🇪🇺
Reminds me of Dunk and Baelor Breakspear
Настоящие друзья!
Extended scene of this is so much better.
Tbh the cut scene is brilliant but I think it's better without it
James Purefoy delivered the best Mark Antony portrayal I have ever seen... right on the money
How do you know?
Octavian, Robert Stannis, and the Joker....the ultimate crossover
who is robert stannis*?You mean robert baratheon?
@@adrianoadriano7772 yes...also the irish guy played in the transformers
You mean Mark Anthony, not Octavian
It's Robert Baratheon, two Jokers, Marc Antony, and Vision.
Alan Tudyk voiced Joker in the Harley Quinn series.
Thank god he had good historians on his side.
Here's to the noble historians, Bullshitus the 69th and Liarliariticus Pantson Firus.
And all the people cheered Sir William... After they all threw rotten food at him all day.
Then he must fight against the Dark Knight.
Knight is a great night
the extended version is better. Chaucer calms the crowd down with his silver tongue then the Prince steps forward as shown in the clip.
Where is the knightly slap?
goddamn what a great movie!!!
Missing the tomato/mothers cooking line...i would have enjoyed the clip much more with that necessary ten seconds added.
the of making a knights tale 2 where sir william fights for the prince and at this time the prince is now the king and some one is trying to take the throne
Love you💕😘
I did like this movie despite the historical inaccuracies. This scene is great, although in reality Edward would not have done this. The nobility took a very dim view of a commoner posing as a belted knight. Although he could have been knighted for personal service , i.e. , bravery in battle.
Imagine even thinking about "historical inaccuracies" while watching this lol grow up man
All the people in the crowd “I don’t know what contestation mean but that sounds like bull shit”
"That is my word that is beyond cntestation"
Crowd: That is a big word....
this movie was campy and trite.. but it has its moments.
Robert Baratheon, Vision, the pirate from that dodgeball movie and The Joker.
That's Wash the polite from Firefly to you
@tempestates13 also mr nobody in doom patrol
Robert Baratheon before he was King
Such a fickle crowd.
Мы кино полюбили мы в него верим .....в кино
Знаю что сказка но верю в история рыцаря
Hm, Middle Age like movie and the soldiers have helmets from 16-17th century. OMG :-)
My name is Cody Hill I am descendant from the Iceland king called Rollo
Heath Ledger , the Joker ? , ( Heath Ledger , o coringa ? )
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Я могу гарантировать что свезу ваши головы в одно место)))))))
Real question to all English. Is being knighted a high honor?
💖💖✨✨✨
Honestly, the most distracting thing in this scene is that horribly inaccurate armor the guards are wearing. Why the heck are they wearing Morions? Those were quite distinctively from Spain and weren't around until 200 years later.
Are you really bothered by a film where, they wear garments that are inspired by clothes int he 1900s and the crowd basically playing "We Will Rock You" and you are worried about the armor that is not proper to the time period?
👍🏰🗡️🤴👸🦁👑🛶🕊️🌈💛♾️
I really liked this movie right up until the very end. Jousting without armor may look tough, but it is STUPID! That scene just ruined it for me.
Because it wasn't as realistic as medieval people dancing to David Bowie?
@@jdubhub68 That fit in with the rest of the movie. Commiting suicide, which is exactly what it would have been, didn't.
@@futuresonex The point throughout the movie is that he goes against convention and does things that other knights would not do. He kept his eyes open during moment of lance impact as well because it made his strikes more accurate, even though common sense with jousters said close your eyes so you don't catch a splinter and get blinded. I'm not sure you are ignoring other things he did that weren't technically correct to focus on one thing in purely fictional entertainment.
@@jdubhub68 I'm ignoring plenty of things that weren't technically correct, but jousting without armor, especially against someone who you already know is extremely good at jousting, isn't just technically incorrect, it's flat-out suicide! Ledger's character, William Thatcher (along with anyone else with half a brain), simply wouldn't do it. He even says so earlier in the movie, "I can't joust with broken armor." It doesn't fit with the rest of the movie. They pushed the level of stupid up to maximum just to make it seem more dramatic. It was a bad call.
@@futuresonexi think it s a metaphor to say that it s not the armor that makes the knight. Adamar has an armor too but he doesn t have the values of a knight
It s symbolic
Its enough you dont attack him. You dont need to pay any kindness.
*when you connect your DNA testing through everyone*
Will there be any benefits to him- will it work for him? If it WORKS than OK.
_Пересмотрев вновь этот фильм,_ _мне разонравился главный герой._ _Во-первых актёр тут съиграл как то безэмоционально,_ _а во-вторых,_ _то как он отнёсся в конце к друзьям,_ _к своей девушке,_ _его уязвлённая гордость,_ _и глупое упрямство_ - _вызвало у меня неприязнь._
This movie was so corny.
