@@jdbarr769 Dont care about political, they're nonexistant. Some liberal asked me on the street if i hate gays and i ignored him. He tried to drag my shoulder "answer the question" so i broke his wrist.
The king was thinking... then interrupted himself for a moment to kill someone and thwart an assassination attempt... then he sat down to continue thinking.
I like that Longshanks completely ignores the "assassination attempt" by his son and completely demerits him of any threat or legitimacy to even be involved in the situation by still claiming him to be his "Gentle Son" 😂
- I am skilled in the arts of war and military tactics, sire - Very well, I will make you responsible for the development of our airborne tactical doctrine
LoL .. the son knew his friend/butt buddy was @#$%ed because he'd completely broken protocol ... and exactly at a moment when his father would have the least amount of patience (i.e. you never address a royal unless spoken to ... the king could speak to the prince and the prince could address the king but anyone outside the family had to be addressed by a royal before they could speak).
When Longshanks said "leave us" and the door guy breathed heavily saying "thank you sire" you could tell he was relieved. He wasn't looking forward to the king's reaction to York being sacked.
@@fatdaddyeddiejr Not if the messenger can HELP it. Longshanks' reputation for brutality was well-known and documented by that point. That messenger didn't want to just leave, he wanted to make minimum safe distance...!
The word Defenestration has two meanings: 1. To throw someone out a window. 2. To dismiss someone from an undeserved position of authority. King Edward Longshanks here is demonstrating both meanings in one succinct action. Total Chad move!!
That's correct! By the way, that is the best comment. Although others were also good like this one. Quote : "Philip actually was the first draftee in the Royal Air Force."
@@cassiebennet4262 Gibson referred to McGoohan as "some guy who did some TV in the 60's" on the commentary track...Yeah, The Prisoner is one of the greatest TV shows that was ever made.
They could kill the man, but not the idea he planted in the minds of his countrymen. Once a man becomes an idea, what he stood for, what he believed becomes indestructible. Best examples are Jesus, Buddha (though Buddha's discipline itself was non-belief, non-conceptualized existence), Gandhi, and most recently MLK.
Which is actually standing up to him, unintended as it was. The custom of the time was to rise to a Superior entering a room, a Baron would rise to an Earl, the Earl would rise for a Duke and everyone would rise for the King, Crown Prince included.
@@Tuberuser187 That was why the Prince nodded his head down. As in saying to himself, "What are you doing?" That was out of line and step to speak to a King in this manner. Let along Longshanks.
@@xeromoth9771The king already knew about him being his son's lover and he didn't do anything about it. He could of easily had him jailed or killed anytime he wanted. So I don't think think him being his son's lover played much of a part in his decision to kill him. The king felt disrespected and clearly Edwards doesn't value human life the way most people do. So he decided to get rid of this bold and annoying person for giving advice when he didn't ask for it and then not apologizing when being called out about it.
@@businessman6104..not just for being simply annoying but potentially control his son the future king. Bro should’ve just be content being the son’s side piece and keep his mouth shut and presence sparse
@@gregorypalermo6797the king saw right through him pretty quickly. Also an expert in war and military tactics but not smart enough to realize to stay away from an open window when you disrespect a murderous king in front of his son.
I love the sinking look on the son’s face when Phillip answers, “I am skilled in the arts of war and military tactics.” The son knows that lofty claim ain’t gonna fly.
Me too. Though for me the funniest bit is that little eyebrow twitch he gives at 1:13 when he says "annihilated." It seems to say "It wouldn't surprise me if you got our army 'defeated', but 'annihilated' is impressive even for you."
I don't blame the king... If I were trying to expand the empire, then have my major army defeated and the only excuse my son has to offer, is that he was too busy being "long-dicked", by his "advisor", I would make him "skip the elevator" too.
He had also a hell of an Arm. He gave a perfect backhand to his Gentle son just after he scored a 3point with Phillip. While wearing a 50 pounds armor! Now that's a Man's man.
The moral of the story is that just because you have your cheeks clapped by your adviser, doesn't mean that you are safe from having your cheek clapped by a metal glove.
He does it through the whole film, sometimes he says did you or is it or were you and always in the same way lol my son and me do it to each other for a laugh.
The sound of Longshanks footsteps growing louder as he approaches and the look on his sons quivering face are golden! What a scene! I just love this movie!
I love the setup of this scene cause it's the royal 14th century equivalent of seeing your mom park the car and remember you didn't unfreeze the chicken
As someone else pointed out, there is some nice subtlety to the interaction here. As I take it, at least: Phillip speaks out of turn. The king asserts his authority by reminding Phillip he's a nobody ("Who is this...") and maybe tests Phillip's intelligence by giving him a chance to "retreat" from an unwinnable situation. Junior steps in to try to save Phillip and give him some legitimacy, but Phillip is too dense to catch any of this and runs his mouth again. Worse yet, he tries to assert himself when the King had *just* told him to mind his place. Knowing his son listens to this idiot above anyone else, the king immediately terminates his employment.
@@Xerxes2005 Phillip is based on Piers Gaveston. Someone who Edward I and many nobles thought were too close to Edward II. Edward lavished him which enraged powerful figures and eventually led to Edward's downfall. There were rumours they were gay, but it was most likely a brotherly relationship they had.
@@Mitjitsu Yeah, I got that, but Piers Gaveston was exiled by Longshanks, not thrown out of a window. Anyhow, this is not the only historical mistake this movie made...
@@Xerxes2005 The movie isn't meant to be a historical documentary, but it does show Edward II was an incompetent military leader and failed to realize the gravity of situations.
It's the "Are you?" At 2:40 that gets me every time. Phillip has no idea that he's being told the medieval equivalent of "who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"
You mean Patrick McGoohan? One of the most famous actors of the 60s and 70s? He was Number 6 from The Prisoner for Christssake... how do you not know his name?
The real life Edward was 6'2", which was very tall at the time (thus his nickname, Longshanks), well-built and an excellent fighter. This made him a very imposing and intimidating man. He also had a very good head for war and was particularly ruthless, but also proved a good administrator.
The footsteps.. the sons anxiety near panic. Great scene, such a powerful presence, Philip had balls but u know that line between bravery and stupidity wasnt too clear to him..
Peter Hanley who plays the prince was my next door neighbor when I was a kid and he was genuinely one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. Think he does a fantastic job in this film.
"Who is this person that speaks to me as though I needed his advice." I find that phrase so badass that I've said it myself on a couple of awkward occasions!!!!
There's another moment like this in the movie where Wallace yells at the Scottish lords "We've beaten the English but they'll be back...because you won't stand together" and the lords he's addressing are literally all standing together. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z0FlffdQmA4.html
Funniest line in Braveheart: "I shall offer a truce, and buy him off!, but who will go to him? Not I!" "If I fell under the sword of that murderer, it might be my head, in a basket!" "And not my gentle son!" "The mere sight of him will only encourage an enemy to take over the whole country!"🤣🤣🤣👍
1:38 I just noticed when the king says "leave us" he looks at the soldier AND at Phillip. That was his queue to leave, he didn't take it then he talked out of turn, this equals 2:49
That messenger was way smarter than Philip. He didn't even breath while standing next to the King until he was dismissed... Philip on the other hand spoke three times to the King without being adressed and after the second time he even got a clear warning by the King answering "Wo is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?". He had it coming and at 2:21 you can see the Prince knows...
Love how Longshank's just disregards his '' Gentle sons'' assassination attempt when he threw Phillip out of the window. Just sat down and started talking to himself again.
3:39 *"And not my gentle son... Only the sight of him would only encourage an enemy to take over the whole country"* Quite a statement from a King to a future King
He threw him out the window, because Philip ... while advising the Prince ... lost the Northern Army and Lost York, and then was talking to the King as if he'd fucking rescue him: "We will stop him!" ... He had to go out the window. Then the guards saw him land, ran up dutifully ... looked up ... saw the King.. and were like: "oh -- oop!".
I love how by having Longshanks speak so slowly and calmly it makes him the most powerful person in the room even before he throws the guy out of the window.
The guy who brought the head is the only one who knew how to behave, gently put it down without making a noise, then made it like wind saying "thank you, sire" when told to leave.
Well said. He knew how to talk to the King, to wait respectfully for any further instruction, and to leave immediately when told to do so. He knew his life was on the line and was in mortal danger. Unlike the other two.
@@charliewatts6895 His life on the line? Probably not, but he certainly knew the protocol. When the king is through with you and dismisses you, you leave. No fooling around.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706His life wasn't on the line cause he didn't do anything stupid. Philip life wasn't on the line either if he would have kept his mouth shut the first time the king dismissed his words. But instead he doubled down and was speaking to the king as his equal. That wasn't going to fly....😅
In the novel written by Randall Wallace (no relation to William), there were guards in the room. They moved to intervene when the prince drew the knife, but the king told them to stand back, as he was delighted that his son was fighting back for once. He still kicked his ass, though.
Drill Instructor Fitch They're unsure. The real Edward II(the prince here) had a friend he was indeed close to, but historians are split whether or not they were actually lovers or just close friends. Regardless, however, Longshanks never threw that said friend out a window.
@@tobaccocrow4432 if he was really skikled in battle art he would not be day dreaming in a window sill. He wouldnt have lasted against any deception in battle. If he wanted to be a war counsrl he should have dont it without the sodomy
@@MintyFreshTurds sounds like Mel Gibson has a thing for twinks. Maybe that’s why he decided to project his insecurity as violence against gay people in this movie
@@jorb1903 That's like the only authentic part of this movie and you cope and call it projection because you don't like Mel's opinions? Afeminant men coddled didn't last long, this is hardly a reference to gays.
There are a lot of good scenes in this movie: Wallace's death, the Princess telling the King on his deathbed that she cuckolded his son and his line would die, Wallace riding with his wife in the rain, the Princess of France falling in love with Wallace. However, THIS one, has got to be one of the best scenes. So many emotions were captured here, disillusionment, fear, retribution, rage, indifference, arrogance, grief, all rolled into one splendid scene.
Every scene you mentioned was lame af except this one. You really thought two trannies pretending to do it was better than William Wallace meeting Steven for the first time? Tell me you're addicted to porn without telling me you're addicted to porn. Fuckin normie.
@@Nattaferg There were a lot of things I liked about it, but it was morally confusing. That was somewhat rectified when I discovered how much was made up.
