Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:He lost his axe and his horse and got them both back just through magic without any sensual investment. I guess the one point I can think of of the ghost scene is she said the green knight is someone you know. The mom was clearly up to some nonsense and it almost seemed like she summoned the GK. It somehow didn't occur to me she, being Arthur's sister, is Morgan lefay who is very naughty in most depictions. Two notes he didn't actually get the horse back, that was A Vision he was having before he decided to take off the sash. He got the axe back because of Green Knight magic so he could continue/complete his quest. Also from what I recall Arthur had a few half-sisters and one of them was Gawain's mom; Morgan Le Fay is a different one who Arthur sleeps with (while drunk/ensorcelled??) and their son is Mordred. Also in later stories Gawain has two brothers who Lancelot accidentally kills, making them mortal enemies. The brothers and other sisters aren't mentioned tho so this might be using earlier legend logic or conflating some of the stuff, but then that does bring up an interesting dynamic that maybe Gawain is supposed to be Arthur's sister-son like Mordred which adds another layer to that whole dynamic. (also also, when Gawain is staring at the Knight's face while he is sleeping I am pretty sure it was supposed to look like Arthur's, reinforcing the whole idea of him being the source of this pressure, so I assumed that was the "GK is someone you know" thing) Anyway I really liked the movie. Did expect at least a small bit of action since most Arthurian stuff does have some fighting but everything was so beautiful and surreal I didn't care.

I mean it's also just a vision, and as pointed out there's also dual casting as well as a general theme of characters being linked in Gawain's mind. He may have imagined her as similar as his requested "reward" for rescuing Winifred's head!

Martman posted:I think once you have two characters be played by the same person with no explanation, it kind of obviously invites scrutiny from the audience if other characters look similar. Yeah, this is spot on. My wife who is the least goony person I know thought they might be the same but my buddy who is a (former) SA poster recognized both women from other stuff and corrected her. No clue on thinking the bandit is the same, but I guess at that point if you're removed a day or more from seeing the movie maybe your mind starts playing tricks.

surf rock posted:OK, it's me, I'm the dummy: what was up with the evil handjob? Was she saying that he wasn't a knight (1) because he's not chivalrous for letting her grab his dick, (2) because he's cowardly to want the magic belt, or (3) because he blew his load in about 10 seconds? It’s basically a combination of 1 and 2: at first he rejected her advances because she is married and he was a guest in their home, but then he gives in because he is afraid of dying. So he throws away his integrity because of his cowardice and she gives him the sash but still mocks him for it
