The Green Knight Review
Listen now
Description
The Green Knight (2021) directed by David Lowery is an adaptation of the 14th-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The visuals, costumes, sets, and performance are all exceptional. While everything is great on a technical level, Clare and Alaina agree that all the movie's loose ends make for an unsatisfying ending. The Green Knight trusted its audience to know specific details about Arthurian history in order to understand the movies major themes. Don't worry though, we’re here to give you a history lesson on everything you need to know about the virtues of a knight. Alaina also breaks down the movie's most meta-scene, where a character discusses the ability to make their own changes to the source material. Come listen to us as we discuss: Does Sir Gawain gain his honor? Why did Sir Gawain's mother summon the green knight? Does this movie need more fog???? And much more! Join Clare and Alaina on our quest to make sense of The Green Knight.
