      1. The Green Knight is turning out to be a very divisive, polarizing movie. 87% positive among critics in Rotten Tomatoes but much more contentious among viewers (I've heard a fair bit of grumbling). I personally loved it but worth asking why.pic.twitter.com/6nk8B0fFon

      2. The title and origins in chivalric romance might lead you to expect a rousing historical epic, but Green Knight offers a very cold, severe, distant past, a damp world lit only by fire, think Barry Lyndon.

          3. Like some other recent films, Green Knight plays an insider/outsider game of trying to engage in film history (specifically Scorsese) while also reaching a wider audience. As Joker was to Taxi Driver, so Green Knight is to Last Temptation of Christ.

          4. The movie is also pretty intertwinned with the source material, a strange chivalric anti-heroic story which is revises and expands upon. All of which is to say that its demanding in ways which might make it seem too cerebral and chilly, rather than engaging.

          5. There's a lot to suss out in The Green Knight; a good movie to rewatch if you've enjoyed the first viewing. So I did a podcast with @Jo_Livingstone who is super-good both because of her academic background (medievalist doctor!) and cultural criticism.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-cinematic-middle-ages?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          In the poem there’s a part where the knight travels through wilderness and cold rain drips down his neck.

          The story is bleak.

          I’m gonna say it, the more educated a person is, the more likely they’re gonna enjoy it. You really have to put your thinking cap on to enjoy the movie (which I loved).
