O tem filmu

Osupljiva igra Jodie Comer v tej provokativni drami o krutosti 14. stoletja v Franciji izpod taktirke vizionarskega filmarja Ridleyja Scotta. Film, posnet po resničnih dogodkih, se osredotoča na obtožbo Marguerite de Carrouges (Comer), da jo je kruto posilil Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver), prijatelj njenega moža, viteza Jean de Carrougesa (Matt Damon). Da bi obranil svoj ponos in dokazal soprogino trditev, zahteva de Carrouges z Le Grisom dvoboj do smrti. Življenja vseh treh visijo na nitki v tej družbi, kjer velja prepričanje, da bo zmagovalca tega strašnega dvoboja določil Bog. Še huje, če de Carrouges v dvoboju umre, bo usmrčena tudi Marguerite. Ta pretresljiva filmska zgodba, v kateri igra tudi Ben Affleck kot Le Grisov spletkarski zaveznik grof d'Alençon, posneta po knjigi Erica Jagerja "Poslednji dvoboj: Resnična zgodba o zločinu, škandalu in sojenju z dvobojem v srednjeveški Franciji", POSLEDNJI DVOBOJ je zanimiva, negotova pripoved o pogumni ženski, ki je pripravljena tvegati življenje za resnico.

Ocene in mnenja

It's really about the plight of women in the Middle Ages and how violence against women reverberates to our own culture. The film establishes that she was telling the truth, but actually her husband is more upset about a property dispute than the violence done to her. Adam Driver is great as the pathological, narcissistic rapist whose excuses are still being used by the Bill Cosbys of the world, with people like Phylicia Rashad of Howard University defending him. Toxic masculinity sucks.

Last Duel feels very much like a harkening back to the days of Braveheart and other epics of the 90's and early 2000's. Big set pieces, spanning landscapes, violence... very nice to experience this in the modern era. The base material isn't as profound as something like a Braveheart or a Gladiator, but the execution with the source material is right up there... especially Adam Driver.

I found this to be an extremely bad movie. I do not understand the praise. This is the most boring repetitious way I can think of to tell this story. They all lead to the exact same perception so the need to tell it like this just drags it out to a point I was wishing for my internet to go out so I did not have to sit through another 30 minute version of the exact same events. The actual dual ended up to be very well done, so I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 for the great 10 minute fight.
