The movie “A Knight’s Tale” is a great film directed by the famous director Brian Helgoland. The film is successful and have two different genres. On one hand, the film is a hero’s journey. On the other hand, the film is also an entertaining sports film. So here is the evaluation of the movie, “A Knight’s Tale”.

A sports film is a film genre that uses sport as the theme of a film. A classic theme for sports films is the triumph of an individual or team who prevail despite the difficulties. The sport that the film is talking about is obviously jousting. Jousting is not like any sport we can see or play today. Jousting is a sport that is only played during the medieval times.

The stages of the film is very similar compared to the stages of sport. William is rising in the rank and promote to the world championship in London. The theme of the film is like the theme for a sporting movie. The theme of the film is William’s triumph after him prevail the difficulties and become the
