A Knight’s Tale By: Brian Helgeland



In his adventure as a fake noble man he was with his two pals who are also a peasant squire as him named Roland and Wat. Along his way to success he was with them and a widowed lady, a maker of a horse shoes and armor named Kate. Moreover he was with the author of Canterbury Tale where his story was a part of it, the most famous writer on the medieval times even now Geoffrey Chaucer.
The conflict started when he took the pose of Sir Ector a noble man and won over an opponent. It continues when he hides from the name Ulrich he fought for so many jousting battles in the arena and had his victorious journey. Furthermore, when he met the girl of his life where the antagonist loved to have in his life as well. His ambition to be a Knight does not stop in those trials he had faced.
The climax was when everyone knew that he lied and he does not belong to the Royalty before he fights Adhemar for championship. There are a lot of mini-resolutions prior from his main problem but one of the most important resolutions there was when Prince Edward saved him from a clamoring mob. He was on the most shameful condition and his dignity was returned when the Prince announced the he has a royal blood according from his historians and researchers. But it does not end there because Adhemar had a very cruel plan behind their battle. Adhemar cheated him on the first lance and he almost fell from the horse. Through his determination and vision that someday he can be a Knight, he faces his opponent without wearing the armor and shouted his name “William” with full and bolder conviction.
On the technical aspect, the setting or the place where the movie was shot suited to the movie because of the good arrangement of every place. The point here is that the entirety of the setting was really believable from the jousting arena, the people in the tournament plus the costume utilized by the audiences and the actors. 
Aside from the big stars that played a very big role not just in the story but as well as in the bankability of the movie was the sound effects. It started with a modern music that start-up the mood of the movie but if you would notice the “WE WILL ROCK YOU” music does not exist that moment but it appropriately matched to the situation. In addition to it, the timing of every beat of the music to the situation for instance, the fight in the arena the beat was exciting which was accompanied with the proper sound of running horse that makes it more realistic and most especially the clamoring crowd and the old music or an Indian music during their dance in the ball. 
But the most paramount technique in the movie was the script and the dialogues of the characters. You couldn’t imagine that the setting was on old times because the dialogues have a sense or touch of comedy even it is in a poetic writing or manner. It makes the audience laugh and be inspired as well.
Every story has a lesson behind. The lesson would be that if you really want to attain your dreams never depend it to the premonition of others but instead believe in yourself and make the best out of it till you achieve ambition auspiciously. BE A KNGIHT OF YOUR FATE!
