Thanks for turning my comment into a secret, OP!

SPOILERSSSSSSS

I'm so unsure of how to feel about it? because on the one hand I just...can't imagine his mother ever actually killing him? and I sort of feel like the movie implies that he is rewarded for doing the honorable thing when he does them.

but at the same time, I'm a big fan of facing up to consequences and NOT having the "well you intended to do it so let's reward you without the bad things actually happening"

so I can understand why they essentially split the differences with a fade to black. my only question is about the post-credit. I actually take it as hopeful, because the girl is probably Gawain's daughter.

Yeah, I also think that the girl opens the ending to being read explicitly as "he lived to have a daughter". It's not straightforward and once can spin it differently (his girl got pregnant before he left or sth), but I think it's there for the viewer to pick it up as a "positive sign".

(And I'm with you on the "it's all his mother's plotting, so why would she kill him?")

Ha, was I the only one who went in expecting the slowest film ever and was kinda suprised that it wasn't actually that slow? :D

/I'm not good at imagining what others expected, because for me it was fairly clear from the trailer and the way the film was talked about that it's going to be a meditation of sorts. But I have also seen A Ghost Story, so....

> I didn't hate the slow pace but I wish I'd known what to expect going in

How...? Did you expect the trailer to hold your hand and be like, ok the pacing is going to be a little slow? It's a 130min movie, it wasn't unexpected.

Comment OP here--I wasn't expecting an action movie with tons of lightning fast cuts, but I also wasn't expecting to spend so many long tracking shots vaguely uncomfortable because I kept feeling like I was waiting for the jump scare in a horror movie. I'm not a horror movie fan, but I get the same feeling watching them.

I've watched other films where the slower than Hollywood typical pace and atmosphere encourages contemplation and stuff, but the general tone was more wistful or romantic or awe-inspiring. There were some awesome as in awe-inspiring moments in The Green Knight, but for me they were outnumbered by things that made me twitchy. Back before the pandemic I saw a lot of theatre, and watching the film felt more like seeing a serious, slightly unnerving stage play than most films I enjoy.

And it's totally possible to have a 2 hour 10 minute movie that feels like it never stops moving and everything is loud and frantic and frequently involves explosions; I would much rather watch The Green Knight again than most of those.

I didn't hate it, and it was well done. I just wasn't expecting it to be what it was.
