This analysis of A Knight’s Tale breaks down why this movie remains so beloved by a whole generation of fans. A story of friendship, found families, honour, and identity – A Knight’s Tale rocked us in 2001, and it still rocks us today. 🎞️ A KNIGHT’S TALE is a 2001 American medieval action comedy film written and directed by Brian Helgeland. The film stars Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who poses as a knight and competes in tournaments, winning accolades and acquiring friendships with such historical figures as Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany). Its 14th-century story is intentionally anachronistic, with many modern pop culture references and a soundtrack featuring 1970s music. 🎞️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – We Will Rock You 05:51 – The Boys Are Back in Town 15:22 – Golden Years 23:06 – You Shook Me All Night Long 🔵 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE if you liked the video – it helps more than you know 🔵 ▶️ If you liked this video, try this one out next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA2lRm7KCzk ▶️ Or watch this playlist for more of my in-depth movie analysis:    • In-depth movie analysis video essays   FOLLOW PENTEX ON EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE ☑️ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/pentexproductions ☑️ Twitter https://twitter.com/PentexP (mostly for James Bond chat) ☑️ Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/PentexPenguin To prove I watch other movies besides LOTR, James Bond and Star Wars ☑️ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pentexfromyoutube/ (for brief movie reviews, wider channel updates, etc) MUSIC 🎵 Boom Boom Clap (Background Sport Action Percussions), https://www.pond5.com/ (Individual Licence) 🎵 One Bard Band by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 🎵 Nomadic Sunset by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 🎵 https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos 🎵 Starting Out Waltz Vivace Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ SOURCES A Knight’s Tale – DVD commentary by Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany A Knight’s Tale – DVD special features / behind the scenes Paul Bettany Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters – GQ Interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGIwJ53XpxU https://variety.com/2021/film/features/a-knights-tale-heath-ledger-20-year-anniversary-1234969609/ https://www.vulture.com/2021/05/paul-bettany-answers-every-a-knights-tale-question-we-have.html https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/transcripts/screenwriters-lecture-brian-helgeland https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/best-films-box-office-bombs/the-shawshank-redemption-david-proval-morgan-freeman-brian-libby-1994-c-columbia-courtesy-eve-2/
