William Thatcher | Change The Stars (A Knight’s Tale)

"A man can change his stars. And I won't spend the rest of my life as nothing."

One of my favourite films and childhood memory. I think the majority would see Heath Ledger simply as the Joker and they’d be right too! However, before I even watched The Dark Knight (amazing), I knew him before as Ulrich or William Thatcher and still love the film to this day. Everything he acted in was incredible every single time. I hope this pays tribute to one of the many great characters he portrayed.

This film is incredibly anachronistic but I and many perhaps love it for that. I think Braveheart is likely worse for historical accuracy. But this is a funny, good feeling type of movie that probably shouldn’t have worked but somehow does. Perhaps due to the amazing cast and friendships, I read that it was an absolute laugh making this film as we can see onscreen. I can actually see where Brian Helgeland was coming from in the use of modern music (as many videos on YouTube described). Sacrificing historical accuracy for emotional accuracy to entertain us as the viewer more so than the period-accurate music would. But their music at the time would’ve been as big as “we will rock you” was for our generations so there is arguably a level of emotional accuracy. It’s a very unique film!

Now Ulrich Von Liechtenstein was in fact a real historical figure. Famous for being a successful jouster and poet, especially his autobiography ‘Frauenburch’, meaning “The Service of Ladies”. That is something I’d like to read one day as it is a likely exaggerated but wicked tale of his career and obsessive love life with a married noblewoman. There are some ridiculous things recorded in there haha. Link below tells of them.
