Gawain's quest has him encounter several characters, some fantastical, some antagonistic. She tells him that as long as he wears the girdle he'll be unharmed. Gawain agrees to go on the quest and is given a special protective girdle by his mother. Now, though, Gawain is faced with having his head cut off. Had he done that, the challenge wouldn't be much of a challenge. But Gawain also made the mistake of chopping the Knight's head off instead of giving him a simple, harmless scratch. He seems hesitant at first, and who can blame him? After all, this was supposed to be a game. A year passes, and Gawain is encouraged to honor his agreement. The Green Knight picks up his severed head, tells Gawain to come find him in a year, and then laughs his ass off as he rides away holding his head like the Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow. And so Gawain takes up Arthur's sword (the word "Excalibur" is never said nor is the name Arthur – he's simply credited as "King") and promptly chops The Green Knight's head off in one fell swoop. No one except Gawain, who sees this as an opportunity to impress his kingly uncle. Who among his brave knights will accept The Green Knight's challenge? No one seems particularly interested (where you at, Lancelot?!). But here's the catch: whoever inflicts the blow on The Green Knight has to promise to seek The Green Knight out a year later and submit to the same exact blow.Īrthur appears outraged at all of this, but he's also too feeble and weak to take up the game himself. The attacker can give the Green Knight a little scratch, or chop off his big green head.
JUDAS KISS MOVIE SPOILER FREE
The game: someone is free to strike the Green Knight in any manner he pleases.
It's Christmas (which means The Green Knight is officially a Christmas movie now, so get lost, Die Hard), and the festivities are cut short when a hulking Green Knight ( Ralph Ineson), more tree than man, storms into the castle and challenges someone, anyone, to a game.
