	BOCCACCIO - LoveToKnow Article on BOCCACCIO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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.
		The Teseide is of particular interest to the student of poetry, because it exhibits the first example of the bitava rima, a metre which was adopted by Tasso and Ariosto, and in English by Byron in Don Juan.
		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.

	A Knights tale
		The tales were usually about a knight in shining armour, slaying dragons either for sport or to rescue a damsel in distress.
		Tales of good versus evil have always been welcomed and scrutinised with both interest and fascination and this is what has inspired Sagar Arts and Star Plus to embark upon a new venture- Hatim.
		Hatim is a tale of the prince of Yemen by the same name, who is valiant, fearless and out to oust all evil from the world.

		Knights were born, not made, and your station in life did not change from cradle to grave.
		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.

	Knights Tale
		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.
		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.

	A Knights Tale
		Inspired by "The Canterbury Tales," this is the story of William, a young squire with a gift for jousting.
		Thus begins A Knight's Tale, a slightly amusing romp about a peasant's son with knightly aspirations, as he battles the jousting tournaments, with a little help from his friend and squire (an amusing Mark Addy) and, would you believe, one Geoffrey Chaucer.
		A Knight's Tale has splendid great moments - the jousting sequences are superbly executed, and a scene in which William is reunited with his father is delicately nuanced.

	Term Paper on The Knight's Tale
		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.
		The Knight's Tale adheres to traditional values of honor in which there are strict codes of behavior that one must follow.

	A Knights Tale
		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.
		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.

	A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		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.
		"A Knight?s Tale" is an all around good movie, however, it did not have me on the edge of my seat, or rolling in the aisles from laughter, but at least it was a good clean show that is fairly entertaining.

		If there is a serious flaw in Shanghai Knights, in fact, it is simply that Roy seems to have almost nothing to do.
		Though the increased scope and personal touches are occasionally at odds with each other, in turns detracting from Roy's character, or shortchanging certain bits of potential giddiness (like a classic swordfight with Jack the Ripper, perhaps?), the overall effect of this draft is one of absolute joy.

	Review: A Knights Tale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A world in which the retainers of a tourney knight chant 'He's blonde/he's pissed/he'll see you in the list!' is clearly on the same continent as one where court miracle workers talk with New York Jewish accents.
		He is not a farm boy, but a peasant, a knight's retainer who takes over his lord's role at a jousting tournament and finds out that he is rather good at it.
		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.

	Review: A Knight's Tale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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 was obviously inspired by one of the core attractions of Gladiator: apply a modern-day sports mentality to an ancient game.

	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.
		Yes this is Geoffrey Chaucer: the finest writer of medieval times is portrayed not as the affable royal official and diplomat he was, but as an affable pauper with a clothing-unfriendly gambling habit.
		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.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: A Knight's Tale
		And the crowd is stomping their feet and clapping their hands to Queen's "We Will Rock You." Yes, you read that right, and it is this ingenious, bold mixture of the past and present that makes "A Knight's Tale," directed by Brian Helgeland (1999's "Payback"), a worthwhile motion picture.
		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.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: A Knight's Tale
		“A Knight’s Tale” is supposed to be a light-hearted adventure not a documentary on medieval knights after all.
		Pretending that something is great doesn't make it great and, unfortunately for "A Knight's Tale," going for cheap laughs doesn't make a movie great, either.
		I think it was big mistake for our knight to have given up the swordplay as that may have helped add some much needed variety to the action.

		Before long he has reinvented himself, appearing as the noble superstar Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland to the sounds of thunderous hoof beats, the rising roar of the crowd and an infusion of pop music.

	A Knights Tale
		Jousting is a sport where knights battle on horseback, dressed in body armor and use blunted spears almost the size of telephone poles to knock the opponent to the ground.
		In addition to being a sports story, this is also a love story of a young man who is coming of age and fulfilling a lifelong dream.
		The crowd's anthem as the knights circle the arena on their horses is "We Will Rock You." When William/Ulrich is ready for his first match, Chaucer gets the crowd going like Don King does with his pre boxing hyper ventilating, and the ring announcers do before the bell rings for the first round.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "A Knight's Tale"
		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.
		And almost everyone in "A Knight's Tale," from the rabble to the fighting knights, looks really, really dirty, so you know it must be authentic.

	Essay on Romanticism in A Knights Tale
		In modern days, we can see examples of heroism romanticism and chivalry in our everyday lifestyle including movies such as A Knights Tale, which includes many aspects of romanticism and chivalry such as having a hero on a quest, and a woman that the hero must prove his love to.
		We start out with William, the son of a thatcher, whom is low born and has had a dream of becoming a knight since childhood.
		Based on the events in the movie, I would have to say that A Knights Tale is a modernized version of romantic fiction.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: A Knight's Tale (2001)
		This medieval adventure, about a peasant who poses as a knight so he can enter jousting tournaments and conquer the oppression of class segregation, takes place in the medieval times that are imagined, not the ones that ever existed.
		It's a fairy tale, which is not to say it's not down to earth, with lots of humor and deliciously evil villains and some extremely amusing anachronisms.
		In an age where fluff movies are little more than computer generated effects demonstrations, A Knight's Tale is a refreshing reminder of just how much fun fluff can be when it has a story and some good dialogue.

	Filmtracks: A Knight's Tale (Carter Burwell)
		A Knight's Tale: (Carter Burwell) Continuing to take on surprising assignments, Carter Burwell is fresh off of the critical fire from Blair Witch 2.
		No better of an example is there than the second and third track combo, which try unsuccessfully to merge medieval themes with a rock/disco rhythm, electric guitars, and a choir, causing this reviewer to nearly fall out of his seat with the giggles.
		Ironically, A Knight's Tale is still one of Burwell's seemingly larger attempts at scoring an orchestral theme of heroicism, and one has to believe that a larger orchestra could have done great justice to the action cues as written for the film.

	A KNIGHT'S TALE \| Carter Burwell @ Cinemusic Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A KNIGHT'S TALE is a big departure from that score.
		Whereas BLAIR WITCH 2 was an entirely electronic, percussion based effort, A KNIGHT'S TALE is big, and orchestral (with chorus) - and works like a wrap around for the film's songs, Burwell having infused his score with contemporary touches like electric guitar, synth loops and samples ("Cooked Patents", "A New Worship").
		This is similiar to his approach on last year's HAMLET, but A KNIGHT'S TALE is an improvement on that score in the listenability department.
