The story is about a help. Seorang pembantu bernama William dari seorang kesatria, dan kedua orang temannya (yang juga pembantu), Roland dan Wat. Nah, saat si kesatria (yang ternyata udah tua) seharusnya memasuki pertandingan terakhir... dia meninggal. Para pembantunya frustasi karena udah ga makan berhari2 demi mengurus turnamen yang si kesatria ini ikuti, dan menggantungkan hidup mereka pada hadiahnya. Pertandingannya adalah jousting- adu tombak. Akhirnya William, yang hanya berencana untuk menang dan mendapatkan hadiah pada awalnya, memasuki pertandingan tersebut. Padahal secara teori seorang putra rakyat biasa tidak boleh bertanding, karena bukanlah orang yang berdarah biru.
Pertandingan dimulai, dan voila, William menang. Akhirnya ia berpikir, sebenarnya ia bisa menjadi seorang kesatria. Yang dibutuhkan hanyalah sedikit kepintaran (baca:penipuan ^^) dan latihan jousting + berpedang. Dan disana dimulailah petualangan William dan teman2nya. Di perjalanannya dia akan bertemu beberapa teman dan musuh, dan juga seorang putri yang membuatnya jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. Pokoknya TOP deh. It shows you that a man can change his stars.
Berikut saya akan bagi beberapa quote yang saya senangi dari film itu. :)
You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?
- Adhemar, Will/Sir Ulrich nemesis.
It is strange to think, I haven't seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face. The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle. I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and especially the night. The hope that after you're gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you.
-William's letter to Jocelyn, his love at first sight.
Chaucer: And one and two and three and four and your hands should be light like a birdie on a branch. And one and two and three and four and Wat doesn't lead he follows like a girl.
[Wat punches him. Scene changes, and Chaucer now has a tissue stuck up one nostril]
Chaucer: And one and two and twirlie twirlie twirlie! And one and two and you're still getting it wrong! And one and two and three and four you can hit me all day cause you punch like a... what?
Roland: A girl!
-Chaucer, Roland, Wat. Chaucer is Will's/Sir Ulrich's herald. In Indonesia? Juru bicara. They're trying to dance properly for Will's first party. Chaucer's trying to teach, even though I think he doesn't succeed. At all. ^^
William: I'm Ulrich von Leichtenstein, from Guilderland, and these are my faithful squires.
[gestures to Roland]
William: Delves, of Dogington,
[gestures to Wat]
William: and Falhurst, of Crew.
Chaucer: I'm Richard the Lionheart. Pleased to meet you. No, wait a minute, I'm Charlemagne. No, I'm Saint John the Baptist!
[William draws a large knife]
William: All right, hold your tongue sir, or lose it.
Chaucer: Now you see *that* I do believe, Sir Ulrich.
-When William and Chaucer first met. I like the quote that I've bolded. :)
Chaucer: You're good. You're very good. My lords, my ladies, and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion!
[crowd roars]
Chaucer: Today... today, you find yourselves equals.
[crowd roars]
Chaucer: For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you to a knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword. Next, he amazed me still further in Italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful Turkish uncle.
[crowd, boo]
Chaucer: In Greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. And so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein!
[crowd roars]
Chaucer: Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
-Chaucer's intro before William's first official match as Ulrich von Leichtenstein. I like it! :D
[trying to convince the squires to bet that William will win, when they believe the French knight will win]
French Squire: An Englishman will not win this French tournament. English legs are unsteady on French soil.
French Squire: And because French wine is too much for English bellies.
French Squire: And most importantly, because the Pope himself is French.
Roland: [finally gives in] Well, the Pope may be French, but Jesus is bloody English! You're on!
-When Sir Ulrich's helpers want to bet against the French. This conversation is hilarious to me. XD
And there's many more! You should try watching the movie! :)
M, over and out.
