Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn real life, spectators of judicial duels were forbidden to interfere by making any noise, and that included shouting, cheering and even coughing, under the penalty of death.
- GoofsThe crowd shouts, cheers, and gasps during the duel. This feels completely believable, but in real life trials by combat (including the one depicted in the film) actually took place in absolute silence, as any spectator making noise or otherwise disturbing the judicial duel was punishable by death.

Featured review
repeating structure
It's 14th century France. Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) and Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) are comrades-in-arms and best of friends. They are given a new lord in Count Pierre d'Alençon (Ben Affleck). While Jacques becomes the Count's favorite, Jean falls further and further out of favor. It doesn't help that Jean has married Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) which leads to complications.
This is directed by Ridley Scott. The structure divides the movie into three chapters. Each chapter takes the point of view from Jean, Jacques, and finally Marguerite. This is good but the Rashomon structure does lead to the feeling of repetition. Then there are the two scenes devoted to the central issue. The one depicting Jacques' point of view needs to be more on his side. After all, this is a case of his says, she says. The two sections leave the question as a degree rather than a decision. There is no question to the basic case. That may be deliberate but it does not increase the tension. The intensity needs to be higher although I do like the actual duel. There is a reality in the brutal repeated battering.
