    It’s basically the entire plot of A Knight’s Tale, a 2001 movie that I happened to rewatch like two days ago lmao

      Omg. I went into that movie thinking it was a serious medieval movie. Imagine my surprise when the crowd broke out in chant towards the start.

          It makes perfect sense and is historically accurate. The crowd chant of “We will rock you!” was a common warning in that period signifying that those who trespass against the nobility will be stoned to death.

        It takes itself the perfect amount of serious, imo, and I love it. The entire sound track is such a curveball, and they even lean into it but it also still takes the actual plot a little seriously.

      Funny, I also rewatched it 2 days ago, since I wanted to show it to a friend. So now I have someone to share this meme with.
