[QUOTE="Max Roscoe, post: 1566200, member: 17845"] The Last Duel is a Ridley Scott film based on a novel The [B]Last[/B] [B]Duel[/B]: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France. It features the Matt Damon / Ben Affleck duo, but they are enemies. It's an interesting premise in that the film tells the story in three acts, from the point of view of three different characters. There you can see very different stories, based on how each person interpreted the events going on around him, tempered by his own emotions. While it's a mostly wholesome film (though violent--it depicts battles in 14th century France), it would have also been popular in the old ROK forum days as well, as there is a strong blue pill / red pill female social dynamic theme (without giving too much away, the main event that both characters see differently is about an important woman in their lives). For a modern film, I'd rate it highly, perhaps a 7 overall but considering it was made in 2020, it would be a 9+ grading on a curve for current year (I mostly enjoy pre-2000 films). [/QUOTE]
