First Knight
Nov. 26th, 2023 10:08 amLast night after the craft sale I wound down with a movie, First Knight. I was so tired and brain-dead that while looking it up on IMDB I had a moment of fright and wondered if I had somehow mistaken Richard Gere for Heath Ledger and was losing my mind 😄
Nope, I just put in the wrong title.
It's interesting to watch First Knight for the first time in 2023 because it would be such a different movie in this century. CGI would fill in the multitudes and other effects, so I appreciated the sheer number of horses and people in the production. It's a rather simple love story and adventure story with ample close-ups of Richard Gere smoldering, LOL!
Julia Ormond, as Guinevere, not only has to choose between Lancelot and Arthur, but essentially Richard Gere and Sean Connery 😄 What's a gal in the 90s to do? The plot resolves the conflict rather neatly, and surprisingly. There's no fantasy elements at all in the movie, which surprised me. It's grounded in reality and more of a throwback to sword-fighting films.
