The Green Knight: 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”

John Williams: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): John Williams → The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Williams, nominated for A.I. and Harry Potter in 2001, was never going to win because Lord of the Rings won best score.
    “He probably was never going to win in 2001 because Lord of the Rings wins.”

What was said about it, by kind

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.”
