On this day in 2001, A Knight’s Tale premiered! One of my favorite movies. RIP Heath Ledger. 🙏🕊️ Released in 2001, A Knight’s Tale stars Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who defies the rigid social order of 14th-century Europe by posing as a noble to compete in the prestigious sport of jousting. Along with his loyal companions and a fictionalized Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany), William battles the villainous Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell) to prove that a man can truly “change his stars.” The film is celebrated for its unique blend of medieval setting and anachronistic classic rock soundtrack, making it a cult favorite sports-adventure hybrid. #heathledger #paulbettany #aknightstale #joker #2000s
