i have to watch this movie in a medieval literature class i be take in college and and to be quite frank and it be one of the bad film i have see in the course of my life . the plot mix both the story of sir gawain and the green knight and the countess of the fountain ( a. k. a. owein ) but seem to leave out the whole meaning and message of each work of literature . to someone watch this movie and who have not read these work before may not be a . repulse . by it a one who have . however and even someone with no knowledge of the text will still not enjoy this movie . really the only good thing about it be sean connery . i do not like give bad review and but i just can not recommend this movie to anyone .
