Chevalier
Réalisé par Brian HelgelandEn Europe, au XIVe siècle, William Thatcher est un modeste écuyer qui a un don inné pour l'équitation et les combats de joute, un talent qu'il décide d'exploiter après la mort de son maître Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein. Mais ne concoure pas qui veut dans les tournois, il faut être un noble. Il prend alors l'identité de son défunt seigneur et part sur les routes de France avec ses compagnons Roland et Wat. En chemin, William rencontre Geoffrey Chaucer, un écrivain errant qui lui fabrique de faux papiers. Ces documents falsifiés lui permettent de participer aux tournois disputés par les plus grands chevaliers. En peu de temps, il se fait remarquer par son agilité et multiplie les victoires. Il attire également l'attention de la belle Jocelyn et, malheureusement, du redoutable comte Adhemar. Ce dernier est jaloux de son succès et compte bien y mettre un terme.
Chevalier Notations et commentaires
- JandTMedia22 mars 2026Funny, moving, romantic, AND somewhat historically educational? What more could you want?
- ayayron6 avril 2025Ulrich von Leichtenstein, from Gelderland, and his faithful squires joust to Queen
- CblCttr5 mars 2026It's a good one. Watch it. Miss you heath.
- gedeyenite20 janvier 2026Fun, but mostly silly. A good set of actors wasted on a please-the-masses project.
- Heinrich Jacobs6 janvier 2026Brilliant movie if you need some inspiration.
- Don Barger7 décembre 2025One of my favorite movies ever! It’s so good!
- ርልዪረ11 février 2025This typical story of a poor man's rise to glory and riches resembles the classic "Ivanhoe"... in absolutely no way at all. There's chivalry and love, to be sure, but you don't have to wait long to see that this is a modern adaption of the middle ages rather than a realistic depiction of a 1300s love story. Modern rock music is sewn flawlessly into the film, and the jousting arena with its spectators resembles a hockey stadium more than a medieval competition stadium. This is of course problematic. Whenever a modern connection appears, you find yourself thinking how inappropriate this is. The problem is easily solved, however. The film simply doesn't take itself seriously - it doesn't even attempt to make this a realistic depiction of the Middle Ages. It's a film about the American dream: "Rocky", set in the world of jousting. You find the foreign elements and anachronisms to be not an irritation, but rather... well, funny. Seeing "A Knight's Tale" from a modern perspective with medieval elements yields an amusing experience - a movie you can watch again and again without ever getting bored. The acting is brilliant. Ledger, Bettany, Tudyk and Addy portray their characters with style and verve, not so much making you live yourself into the medieval world as much as making you identify yourself with the different characters. The hero, the bad guy, the love and the loyalty - all is done in a manner most convincing. Even the side cast plays amazingly. They'll make you laugh, cry and cheer... and then sing: "We will... we will rock you!"
- keithy07716 novembre 2025Joker and Jarvis the prequel.
- HugeYakMan30 septembre 2025Perfect
- karl.close28 septembre 2025It's one of my all-time favourites. 10/10 will watch it again and again.
- pipanni17 septembre 2025The armor and weapons are shiny Chinese plastic. One of the first scenes in this movie has our hero arriving at a tournament while the crowd loudly sings "We are the champions" by Queen. Yep. That's when I pressed stop. Definitely not a movie for me.
- barryl3617 août 2025This is entertainment, not art. I frequently watch this movie.
- Julian Jankowski24 juillet 2025Fantastic
- mickerdoo8 juillet 2025A movie that knows it's cool but doesn't stop it from being so. All cast is top marks. Love the genre and time blending.
- GBWest16 janvier 2025It is impossible to accurately rate this film. There is heart, soul, art and style within this story of one who was able to change his stars. Every time I see this film it fills me with warmth and a love for this timeless classic.
