Lol what, who’s that referencing?

[–] SolSerkonos@piefed.social 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's basically the entire plot of A Knight's Tale, a 2001 movie that I happened to rewatch like two days ago lmao

Omg. I went into that movie thinking it was a serious medieval movie. Imagine my surprise when the crowd broke out in chant towards the start.

Hang on... are you suggest it's not historically accurate?

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

It makes perfect sense and is historically accurate. The crowd chant of "We will rock you!" was a common warning in that period signifying that those who trespass against the nobility will be stoned to death.

It takes itself the perfect amount of serious, imo, and I love it. The entire sound track is such a curveball, and they even lean into it but it also still takes the actual plot a little seriously.

Funny, I also rewatched it 2 days ago, since I wanted to show it to a friend. So now I have someone to share this meme with.
