The Last Duel

Is Adam playing the good guy or bad guy? Who plays the good guy?

Actually not really, here's the summary for the lazy and inept. Movie is supposedly based off this book so expect it to be biased just like the book itself.
The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France is a 2004 book by Eric Jager concerning the last officially recognized judicial duel fought in France. It tells the story of the December 29, 1386 trial by combat between Norman knight Jean de Carrouges and the squire Jacques Le Gris. Carrouges had accused Le Gris of raping his wife Marguerite de Carrouges, née de Thibouville, that previous January, and had gone to King Charles VI seeking an appeal to the decision handed down by Count Pierre d'Alençon, whom Carrouges believed favored Le Gris. Whichever combatant still alive at the end of the duel would be declared the winner as a sign of God's will. If Jean de Carrouges lost the duel, Marguerite de Carrouges would be burned at the stake as punishment for her false accusation.

Maybe Scott will have the balls to take a Gone Girl route and make the girl defendant a liar. Driver's character in real life maintained his innocence until the end.

>muh good guy vs bad guy

The reason this story is even compelling is because it is still disputed whether or not Le Gris even committed the rape. I hope the story isn't black and white to appease brainlets.

I hope they make it more questionable like the real life trial, but it's based off of the book and the book assumes that Le Gris was guilty. It was criticized for being biased.

>Here's your French king, bro.
Unironically interested in seeing our boy Ben the most in this movie. He's played it safe for most of his roles the past decade.

I 100% believe Ridley Scott is so senile he forgot he already made a movie called The Duelists so he thinks making a movie about a duel is a good idea.

I'm guessing it will be
>muddy
>grey
>super realistic
>competently made
>take no risks visually
>be forgotten about instantly
As all movies of the same genre are these days

French people are clearly of Mongolian extraction

lol Ben and Matt both look like inbred retards in this movie.

Finally, the roles they were born to have. Also their characters look this way so they could make Driver's character the Don Juan figure that he was in real life.

Sir Jacques did nothing wrong.

Didn't his own lawyer think he did it

>I hope the story isn't black and white to appease brainlets.

that would be missing the whole point of the story.

>Carrouges had accused Le Gris of raping his wife Marguerite de Carrouges, née de Thibouville, that previous January, and had gone to King Charles VI seeking an appeal to the decision handed down by Count Pierre d'Alençon, whom Carrouges believed favored Le Gris.

Is that a Jojo reference?

>Artist gives Adam better cheekbones and eyes.
>Kept his big lips.

I read those accounts. He only think he did it because of something silly like him getting sick at one point. I'm not kidding. It seems like some people were already biased against Le Gris because he was a ladies man that they saw what they wanted to. No one, and I mean no one, had any real evidence against him aside from the wife's words.

Or, he knows he’s going to die soon and thought it would neat to bring his career full circle.
