A Knights Tale

             A Knights Tale is a modern-day movie depicting a very interesting time in world history. The most memorable segment of this movie was when Heath Ledger discovered his master Sir Ector had died. He then convinces himself to steal the jousting armor, and catapult himself into the upper-class. In the medieval times the poverty class was almost destined to live in poverty their entire lives. The greatest element of this choice was the fact that William Thatcher didn't make this decision purely to benefit his own self interest, he and his two loyal friends were just as important, as they all split the earnings. He then continues to compete in tournaments, and becomes quite successful. In his pursuit he becomes infatuated with a woman of the upper-class, this proves to be difficult, as William is really a member of the lower-class, pretending to be of royalty. Great movie depicting the medieval times, especially since this is after all a glamoured facade produced in Hollywood.
