I don't just like this, I love it and the movie.

There are so many lovely quotes, lines, and historical accuracies in this movie even though it's played off as if it's just a silly Hollywood fiction.

The Horse scene actually happened, Ulrich von Liechtenstein was a real person, and of course, Chaucer did eviscerate the men in prose just as he threatened in this quote, among many others I cannot think of at this moment.
