The Green Knight is Boring but Magnificent

While watching this movie I thought many things. Like, "why is this so long" and "who is this for". Yet, I endured because I heard from a podcast that it had "the most realistic semen I have ever seen on screen", how's a person supposed to miss that? I remembered reading the poem the story is based on in school-- but I didn't remember there being semen so it raised a lot of questions about how that made it into the movie. Frankly, I am on day 8 of my 10-day quarantine and I already watched all the Matrix movies so here we are.

hot people being hot, also maybe wash that sash first…

The movie is moody and beautiful to the eye. A quest story is a perfect excuse for sweeping and striking landscape shots.  There are pacing issues, and it may lean too heavily on hallucinatory visual elements--but in the end--its point is made beautifully

if you eat random mushrooms you find, you might see giants.

If you are looking for an easy weeknight watch you might skip this one. It wasn't a "thrill-ride" to watch but it is thoughtful, gorgeous, and well-acted. It's the type of movie you didn't realize was incredibly well executed until you encounter the ending. In the end, it honored the parable at the core and really made the whole watch worth it for me.
