Just come to grips with the idea that your opinion isn’t gospel breh. It’s questionable at best but that’s your right.


Anyways… I liked this and have been spending a lot of the morning thinking back on it and reading up some stuff about the story, which I’ve never read.

This is a very slow, very deliberately shot movie that feels like one long dream sequence at times. I’m glad I didn’t go in expecting the pace of a full blown action fantasy because I feel like if I did I would’ve been disappointed.

I wouldn’t call it classic but everything doesn’t need to in contention as the greatest film ever made :yeshrug:

Loved The Journey Home sequence and what they showed as a possible outcome for his meeting at the Green Chapel.

Definitely need to give this another viewing as I was having to pee multiple times throughout the movie and missed him getting to the Green Chapel. Got back and they were having a silent contest with one another :mindblown:

Come to grips that it's not a classic which is what I said and you said as well

No one said it had to be you fukking lame.
You’re in here equating not classic to bad which further highlights my original statement that you have shytty hot takes.

looks like a pass for me. A24 been killing it with the trailers but their movies have been :patrice: to me for awhile now.
Of the ones I’ve seen, I’ve really enjoyed:
A Most Violent Year
Waves
The Florida Project
The Bling Ring
Native Son

Just okay:
Moonlight
Uncut Gems
The Green Knight

Completely sucked:
Midsommar

He was just waiting for December 25th to get there which is why the green knight was sitting and silent with his eyes closed

Solid movie, I can't wait to see it on stream though because some of the shot's were insanely dark in the theater I was at.

Where did I equate not classic to being bad?:mjlol:

Try your best to go through my posts in this thread so we can all see where I drew that line.

You really are in your feminine feelings to even come to that conclusion.

Breh I don’t care about you to that degree. Shuffle your insignificant 2nd rate alias the fukk out of this thread you annoying antagonistic lame.

Spending all this time in here as a contrarian derailing the conversation about the movie because you didn’t get enough attention as a child. Sit your annoying ass down

I really enjoyed this one, but I can see why it would be divisive. I missed the end credit scene, can anyone fill me in?


There was an after credit scene? I gotta look it up. Slow moving movie but the scenery was great. I guess his moms tried the medieval equivalent of a priviledge hook up to bring her kid some success but at the end he realized he wasnt shyt.

He looked miserable and out of place in the dream sequence

Loved the overall message of that sequence and the movie as a whole. You felt uneasy after he left the green chapel, ducking the responsibilities of his quest and got to see what that life of quiet shame would look like.



This movie as a parable for not ducking life's call to action :salute::lawd::win:
