It tells a rather simple story about Kg Arthur’s nephew Sir Gawa, who accepts a challenge om a supernaturally oversized knight on New Year’s Eve—and has one year to liver on his si of the barga. On his journey to fd the Green Knight, Gawa enunters the ual Arthurian tts of honor and character, and out the other si a ltle more worse for wear than some of his fellow knights of the Round Table. </p><p class="paywall">Even those very faiar wh the poem might be nfound by elements of Lowery’s adaptatn starrg <strong>Dev Patel.</strong> And while some aspects are tentnally vague, a long-rangg chat wh <em>Vany Fair,</em> Lowery did his bt to clear up some mysteri—startg, of urse, wh that very puzzlg endg. </p><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad---ntent"><div class="adslot adslot---ntent" data-no-id="1zr8v"></div></div><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embedasset-ntaer"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB rponsive-asset AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embedrponsive-asset"><picture class="RponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedRponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embedrponsive-asset rponsive-image"><noscript><img alt="Image may nta Human Person Face Head and Text" class="RponsiveImageContaer-eybHBd fptoWY rponsive-imageimage" src=" srcSet=" 120w, 240w, 320w, 640w, 960w, 1280w, 1600w" siz="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div></figure><p class="paywall"><strong>Okay, Did Gawa Die or…What?</strong> Well, y and no, right?

So we n assume that everythg we see back at Camelot, cludg Gawa’s head fallg off, is a long “what if?” sequence which Gawa imag what his life might have been like if he ped the Green Knight’s chapel alive, but rryg the shame and ce of havg failed at his promise. </p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">Lowery wanted to e that extend sequence to achieve somethg very specific: “I wanted to wre an endg where his head gets chopped off, and that’s a posive thg,” he says. “That’s a happy endg. He fac his fate bravely, and there’s honor and tegry that. But that don’t mean that he’s ad, he’s killed. He received the blow that he was alt, and all is set right wh the universe of the film.” We, the dience, are relieved when Gawa accepts his fate the end, bee spar both him and his kgdom all the misery of that war-torn fantasy. We also get to see his head both e off and not. </p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-unslot nsumer-marketg-unslot--article-mid-ntent nsumer-marketg-unslot---ntent"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><p class="paywall">Lowery said he shot a more “explic” and “five" versn of the endg, but that put “too sharp” a pot on the film: “If people were to watch a movie which Dev Patel gets behead at the end, they probably would like to leave the theater feelg differently than they do wh the more ambiguo versn.” That ambiguy may leave the endg open to terpretatn, which Lowery is fe wh. “Even amongst ourselv—Dev, my producers, and I—we all had slightly different ias about what that endg [means]. If we cut to black, what happens next?” Let’s ll the <em>Sopranos</em> approach to medieval fantasy. </p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layoutasi"><div

we uld take terms of subtlety where, if you jt aren’t payg very close attentn, you won’t notice that ’s not jt Joel,” says Lowery. “He turns to every character’s face. It starts wh Joel, then turns to [Kg Arthur actor] <strong>Sean Harris,</strong> Alicia for a moment, then she chang to Sara, and then to Dev himself.” Lowery thks showg that the Green Knight is somehow everyone tak the story beyond the simple dualy of the poem. “That moment was a remr for me and for the dience that this entire journey, and all of the enunters, have all been about the pursu of one thg. And all go back to the choice that Dev mak, which is why the fal face you see there is his own.”</p><p class="paywall"><strong>So, What Is the Endg Tryg to Say?</strong> It’s an ambiguo ncln wh an ambiguo antagonist, so the good news is that n mean whatever you want to mean. But Lowery has his own ias here. </p><p class="paywall">The poem self is often nsired a story of the tensn between the more nservative Christiany of Arthur’s urt and the eewheelg paganism of the Green Knight and Man le Fay. Or, to put another way, a war between civilizatn and nature. In the film, Alicia Vikanr has a tremendo monologue about the encroachg green takg over the Earth, which may be the key to unrstandg Lowery’s pot of view. </p><p class="paywall">“My parents would love for me to say ’s not a war,” Lowery says. “But 2021, I have to say, I kd of view that way. I fd great solace the fact that the last image of the film is the Green Knight, and that he has the higher ground. I’m someone who lov peace, and I want to live a world where those two thgs n exist hand hand and wh mutual benef to both. But our culture now, I don’t see that happeng. I wrote that monologue for Alicia to reprent my own feelgs. What she’s scribg may sound terrible, but I fd great fort . There’s a betiful evabily. What she’s talkg about mak me feel better about the world we live .”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-2 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">This is why Sean Harris’s Kg Arthur and <strong>Kate Dickie</strong>’s Queen Guevere are picted as sickly, wang monarchs. “The only referenc to Christiany the film are om Kg Arthur,” Lowery says. “The ia is that there’s some rot at the heart of that urt. At the same time, I really loved the goodns that Sean brought. In the screenplay, I scribed them almost as lookg like children or extraterrtrials. Sean’s performance is so warm that unteracts that a really betiful way. It’s one of the richer aspects of the film.”</p><p class="paywall"><strong>Why Is Gawa Not a Knight?</strong> Speakg of Camelot and the monarchy: The tle of the poem is “<em>Sir</em> Gawa and the Green Knight.” But Lowery opted to save Gawa’s knighthood until the fal moments of the film. “Then you have the anticipatn and the expectatn that by the end, maybe he will bee a knight—or maybe even achieve what he needs to be worthy of knighthood, to be worthy of the Round Table, to be worthy of Camelot,” Lowery explas. Whout the promise of the glory of knighthood wag for him, Lowery says, why would Gawa keep gog on this torturo journey? The answer the poem giv is for chivalry, honor, and duty. But Lowery wanted to make Gawa’s motivatn a ltle more external than that. </p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layoutasi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH

where, if you jt aren’t payg very close attentn, you won’t notice that ’s not jt Joel,” says Lowery. “He turns to every character’s face. It starts wh Joel, then turns to [Kg Arthur actor] <strong>Sean Harris,</strong> Alicia for a moment, then she chang to Sara, and then to Dev himself.” Lowery thks showg that the Green Knight is somehow everyone tak the story beyond the simple dualy of the poem. “That moment was a remr for me and for the dience that this entire journey, and all of the enunters, have all been about the pursu of one thg. And all go back to the choice that Dev mak, which is why the fal face you see there is his own.”</p><p class="paywall"><strong>So, What Is the Endg Tryg to Say?</strong> It’s an ambiguo ncln wh an ambiguo antagonist, so the good news is that n mean whatever you want to mean. But Lowery has his own ias here. </p><p class="paywall">The poem self is often nsired a story of the tensn between the more nservative Christiany of Arthur’s urt and the eewheelg paganism of the Green Knight and Man le Fay. Or, to put another way, a war between civilizatn and nature. In the film, Alicia Vikanr has a tremendo monologue about the encroachg green takg over the Earth, which may be the key to unrstandg Lowery’s pot of view. </p><p class="paywall">“My parents would love for me to say ’s not a war,” Lowery says. “But 2021, I have to say, I kd of view that way. I fd great solace the fact that the last image of the film is the Green Knight, and that he has the higher ground. I’m someone who lov peace, and I want to live a world where those two thgs n exist hand hand and wh mutual benef to both. But our culture now, I don’t see that happeng. I wrote that monologue for Alicia to reprent my own feelgs. What she’s scribg may sound terrible, but I fd great fort . There’s a betiful evabily. What she’s talkg about mak me feel better about the world we live .”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-2 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">This is why Sean Harris’s Kg Arthur and <strong>Kate Dickie</strong>’s Queen Guevere are picted as sickly, wang monarchs. “The only referenc to Christiany the film are om Kg Arthur,” Lowery says. “The ia is that there’s some rot at the heart of that urt. At the same time, I really loved the goodns that Sean brought. In the screenplay, I scribed them almost as lookg like children or extraterrtrials. Sean’s performance is so warm that unteracts that a really betiful way.

Whout the promise of the glory of knighthood wag for him, Lowery says, why would Gawa keep gog on this torturo journey? The answer the poem giv is for chivalry, honor, and duty.
