A Knight's Tale (2001)

Inspired by "The Canterbury Tales," this is the story of William, a young squire with a gift for jousting. After his master dies suddenly, the squire hits the road with his cohorts Roland and Wat. On the journey, they stumble across an unknown writer, Chaucer. William, lacking a proper pedigree, convinces Chaucer to forge genealogy documents that will pass him off as a knight. With his newly-minted history in hand, the young man sets out to prove himself a worthy knight at the country's jousting competition, and finds romance along the way.

*Tagline: From peasant to knight; one man can change his stars.
*原來這部電影是如此的搞笑~
*Paul Bettany飾演的引言人,搞民粹嘛,討好群眾,這段介紹真是經典: My lords, my ladies, and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion! Today... today, you find yourselves equals. For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you to a knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword. Next, he amazed me still further in Italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful Turkish uncle. In Greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. And so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein! Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
*上面那段感覺有點宗教敵對的味道,為什麼是Turkish uncle? 暗指回教嗎=.=
*好笑歸好笑,感人落淚的戲劇張力還是有哦,當然就是失明的老爸,也聽到大家高喊Sir William Thatcher那一幕啦~
*最後4個人比放屁是有何用意呢?
*這麼巧,演Adhemar的正是The Legend of Zorro中的Armand,由Rufus Sewell擔綱的大反派(也是英國人)~
