The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: 2 lines verdict ×1 contrast ×1

  1. verdict (ranking): The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring → The Green Knight. Griffin's five fantasy picks (NeverEnding Story, Green Knight, Mononoke, Willow, Fellowship) are the common-canon list he could not talk himself out of.
    “like, it felt like a very kind of unoriginal list, but I couldn't talk myself into saying like, well, actually, BeastMaster has some really cool effects in it”

A24: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (studio silence): The Green Knight → A24. A24 has not moved the May 29 date or commented, while the rest of its slate is pushed.
    “A24 has not said a word about anything.”

David Lowery: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): David Lowery → The Green Knight. Lowery says all his movies puncture legend, and sees this film as one of the first seeds of that interest.
    “every movie I've made has sort of been to date has been sort of about peeling back some level of legend to try to like expose the fallacies within.”

Dev Patel: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Dev Patel → The Green Knight. The Green Knight, by David Lowery, is called fantastic but was missed in COVID.

The 13th Warrior: 1 line what-if ×1

  1. what-if (what-if): The Green Knight → The 13th Warrior. Lowery would want a Green Knight-style capped-budget version of this story, though now it would scare him.
    “the version of this I would want to see is the like Green Knight style version of it.”

contrast (1)

  1. contrast (post-LotR contrast): The Green Knight → The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. After Lord of the Rings, nothing high-fantasy worked in movies until Narnia; Green Knight is great because it does its own thing.
    “Nothing works in movies, post Lord of the Rings until Narnia, which then fell off a cliff.”
