    Ah yes! William Thatcher son of a… Miller?

    The movie even has William go up and repair the thatch on his dad’s roof when they reunite.

    “Oh, but this leak won’t do, father. Not in the chamber of a Thatcher.”

    “For a blind Thatcher, it’s quite fitting”

    “A Thatcher I am, I’ll fix it for you”

    And then he gets seen by Adhemar, blowing his whole cover. Meaning it’s even a major plot point. An act of familial kindness is what got William caught.

    Like, everything else is beat for beat except that and it’s driving me crazy.

    I love that movie so much. It’s utter and complete nonsense but it’s amazing.

      When a “period piece” opens with “We Will Rock You”, they’re letting you know up front to turn your brain off. I appreciate them for it and loved the movie.

      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.
