An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, "The Green Knight" tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.

SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT

"The green knight on his ground graciously stands:
with a little lean of the head, flesh he uncovers;
his long lovely locks he laid over his crown,
and let the naked neck to the stroke show.
Gawain gripped his axe and glanced it on high,
his left foot on the field before him he set,
letting it down lightly light on the naked,
that the sharp of the steel sundered the bones,
and sank through the soft flesh, sliced it in two,
that the blade of the bright steel bit in the ground.
The fair head from the frame fell to the earth,
that folk flailed it with their feet, where it forth rolled;
the blood burst from the body, the bright on the green.
Yet nevertheless neither falters nor falls the fellow,
but stoutly he started forth on strong shanks,
and roughly he reached out, where the ranks stood,
latched onto his lovely head, and lifted it so;
and then strode to his steed, the bridle he catches,
steps into stirrup and strides him aloft,
and his head by the hair in his hand holds.
and as steady and staunch him in his saddle sat
as if no mishap had him ailed, though headless now

instead.
He twined his trunk about,
that ugly body that bled;
many of him had doubt,
ere ever his speech was said."

I don't claim to be a projectionist, but I think the one at the theater I went to needs to be slapped. The scene with the Green Knight sitting in his chapel the night before he wakes out of his hibernation, with his eyes just open looking forward...

It was so God damn dark when I saw it in the theater I couldn't make out jack. The scene with the girl who's missing her head, when he goes into the abandoned home... I had no idea what was going on. It was like the Long Night episode on Game of Thrones.

I could have sworn that movies were supposed to come with recommended projection settings for when they were played in theaters, but maybe I'm wrong.

All I know is, I can see a lot more watching this video than I could in the movie theater. I'm half tempted to rent the movie on YouTube and watch it tomorrow on my own TV.
