 | | Fiammetta, although not the heroine of the story, is amongst the nymphs who with their tales of true love soften the mind of the huntsman. | | | The first work of Boccaccio, composed by him at Fiammettas command, was the prose tale, Filocopo, describing the romantic love and adventures of Florio and Biancafiore, a favorite subject with the knightly minstrels of France, Italy and Germany. | | | Another work, written about the same time by Fiam- mettas desire and dedicated to her, is the Teseide, an epic poem, and indeed the first heroic epic in the Italian language. |

| | William, a servant to a mid-level knight, refuses to abide by the status quo. | | | At its heart, this is your basic tale of a youth discovering his full potential by believing in his impossible dreams. | | | (CNN) -- "A Knight's Tale" is not your typical medieval story about knights in shining armor, ladies in waiting, and gallant deeds performed with the help of exotic wizards. |

| | Knights Tale |
| | As part of Chaucer’s characterization of the Knight we see he is a modest man, he does not tell a story concerning his own deeds and the velour he has shown in distant lands, but he provides an entertaining tale emphasizing the importance of honor and love. | | | The second Knight is also curious and he peers out from the tower window, and he too is stricken with her beauty. | | | The story is at times longwinded, for the Knight goes to great lengths in describing the preparations for the joust, but in Chaucer’s day the general reading public were intrigued with such matters, as it represented a world removed from their everyday lives. |

| | A Knight's Tale brings a cheerfully anachronistic spin to the centuries-old traditions of knights engaging each other in mock combat for glory, honor, and perhaps the eye of a lady or two. | | | A Knight's Tale is shown in anamorphic widescreen, in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. | | | A Knight's Tale: Extended Cut (published October 20th, 2005) are also available. |

| | Term Paper on The Knight's Tale |
| | The Knight's Tale adheres to traditional values of honor in which there are strict codes of behavior that one must follow. | | | Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written in approximately 1385, is a collection of twenty-four stories ostensibly told by various people who are going on a religious pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral from London, England. | | | Prior to the actual tales, however, Chaucer offers the reader a glimpse of fourteenth century life by way of what he refers to as a General Prologue. |

| | A Knight?s Tale is the rousing story of lowborn William Thatcher?s (Heath Ledger) quest to change his stars, win the heart of an exceedingly fair maiden (Shannyn Sossamon) and rock his medieval world. | | | A Knight?s Tale finds William facing the ultimate test of medieval gallantry -- tournament jousting -- and trying to discover if he is the stuff of which legends are made. | | | In "A Knight's Tale" we see William taking compassion on Chaucer, sacrificing his own gain to help someone caught in the grip of his own vices. |

| | A Knight's Tale |
| | All can be good qualities for a knight, but in his romance with Jocelyn (who dresses and has various hairdos like a runway model) holds no real chemistry. | | | She is interested in him because he does not throw himself at her like other knights. | | | Either way, A Knight's Tale treads familiar territory, in both its romance and its 'sports.' The jousting is the only element that makes this movie unique. |

| | What he'd really like to do is write, but while “The Canterbury Tales” is stewing in his head, he joins the motley crew as William's consultant on all things courtly and his colorful, crowd-pleasing herald (he's a cross between a rock promoter and a carnival shill). | | | After all, given the poor-boy-rich-girl love connection, “A Knight's Tale” is essentially “Titanic on Horseback.” Minus the boat. | | | In this tale that didn't need to be told — at least, not in this fashion — a cutie-pie squire named William (cutie-pie Heath Ledger) takes his dead master's place in a jousting tournament. |

| | A Knight's Tale is not the worst movie of 2001, but it is one of the sloppiest. | | | A Knight's Tale provokes its share of laughter, but most of the time we're laughing at the movie not with it, and that's the difference between derision and comedy. | | | A Knight's Tale remains true to one of the more lamentable rules of the summer movie season: less intelligence is more desirable. |

| | He gets all the glory in "A Knight's Tale," swaggering with his curly blonde locks, fighting his own destiny, facing a joust showdown with his icy nemesis, and courting the best-looking gal in the land, played by Shannyn Sossamon in her big screen debut. | | | It's a fairy tale and it doesn't pretend to be anything but that." | | | Set in medieval times, it's the story of the son of a poor thatcher who becomes a jousting knight on the competitive European circuit, eventually thriving as the most popular figure in the event. |

| | knights tale movie review by Jim Eadon |
| | The Knight's Tale follows the smelly footprints of a peasant (Heath Ledger), a knight wannabe who, through a mishmash of desperation and timely opportunity, and an uncanny ability to master new skills on the fly, masquerades as a real knight and enters jousting competitions. | | | Even so, The Knights Tale could have been more tightly edited towards the end, as it lost momentum for the sake of superfluous melodrama. | | | Most importantly The Knight's Tale is charged with something the Studio corporations seem to have largely given up even trying to bottle these days. |

| | More often than not, "A Knight's Tale" is a rollicking good show that dazzles each and every time writer-director Helgeland treats the audience to another classic rock song. | | | "A Knight's Tale" has fun with itself, and it is the intermittent mixing of completely different eras that gives the movie its reason for being. | | | As a 100-minute entertainment, "A Knight's Tale" would have been a little easier to give in to. |

| | Review: A Knights Tale |
| | I guess that Knights Tale gives us as 15 minutes of the three protagonists arguing about whether they should dress William up as a knight, and trying to train him, before the plot proper starts. | | | A Knights Tale was a nice, unpretentious film which entertainingly achieved what it set out to do. | | | Inventing a noble identity for himself, he travels to all the tournaments and wins fame, fortune, the love of a beautiful woman, et cetera. |

| | In "A Knight's Tale," the music is puzzling and ill-fitting, throwing you out of scene after scene; I couldn't help groaning every time I heard the soundtrack heating up. | | | Helgeland (whose previous credits include the screenplay for "L.A. Confidential" and directing "Payback") has loaded "A Knight's Tale" with ostensibly amusing anachronisms, from Will's assertion that Jocelyn is a real "fox," to the Nike symbol that a metalsmith embosses on Will's new armor. | | | But for those about to rock, "A Knight's Tale" is pretty dismal pickings. |
