The Last Duel - do you think she lied?

[Bornstarch]

Great movie. I just finished watching it for the first time.

Who do you think was telling the truth out of the 3 of them?

To those who haven't watched the movie, it's directed by Ridley Scot, came out in 2021, a true story about France's last recorded duel between best friends, Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris in the 12th century.

It's a woman. OF COURSE she lied.

Meth Damon did good in this one.

I think she embellished, she was down to clown with loverboy, but wanted the attention not the sex and regretted afterwards

PS great film

Didn't realize this was up for debate.
Guy #1 killed Guy #2, thus proving without a doubt that Guy #2 was a liar.
Ball don't lie

 

[Fishmonger]

liar, liar pants on fire

also, did not read

One of few films where the fighting ( the duel) was pretty good.

She was wearing see thru dress with nothing underneath, so everyone wanted to have sexual relations. No such thing as underpants back then.

Adam Driver struck me as the scumbag rapist.

In his version of the story, he still raped her.

He also says a line about how she 'made the usual protestations'.

Like, his character been going around doing this all over?

And that's in the story where he did nothing wrong?

I remember watching this movie but I remember nothing about it.

 

[BornOnMonday]

I believe her, yo. I don't know why, but I believe her.

You have to believe all women.

This is the appropriate interpretation. The film makes it pretty clear how absurd the recourse was for women in that age to protest sexual transgression against them when the transgressor was their equal (or better) in terms of social status.

It doesn't really matter whether or not you believe she's telling the truth, or if she was. The point is to highlight how absurd the standards were for her to merely cast the allegation.

The duel itself is the best ever put on screen. It's magnificent.

I thought the movie made it pretty clear. I mean it literally titles her version of the story as the truth.

Damon was great in it. Also it was nice to see a relatively realistic looking sword fight in a movie. I thought Damon's character was doing to easily smash Driver because it seemed he was the much more experienced warrior and was going out all the time to battles, while Driver's character is mostly seen partying.
