The assault scene IS different. The difference is how she reacts to it. Adam's character does not see her emotions during or after.

i like how they make a point of how Le Gris views his seduction of women by comparing what he did at Pierre's party with what he did with Marguerite. But we as the audience can see the horrifying reality of his actions and the pain before and after for Marguerite. Great film

It's an excellent portrayal of how psychopaths view their actions. Dude let his dick take control of his sanity, which resulted in him raping lady which resulted in his death. Dude probably also developed his "love" for her only as an excuse for wanting to cum inside her, and making up that she wanted him in order to justify his rape. A lot of women today, accuse men of rape when they regret having sex with them or when they didn't even have sex with them and just want revenge. But back than times were different, and women themselves were different too.

*_"I disagree that the scenes didn't have to be done twice...very impactful shown two times with subtle differences"_* I agree with you, but for any number of reasons you're gonna get viewpoints that are more sensitive _(or feign to be)_ , even when Affleck and Damon make it a point to _NOT_ present gratuitous images of nudity nor graphic physical battery. They literally saw to it that both perspectives of the actual "SA" were shown briefly (mere seconds) and in a non-gratuitous manner that only served to allow audiences to superficially connect with what transpired from the perspective of _Jacques Le Gris_ and from the perspective of _Marguerite._ Affleck and Damon even made it a point to have a female writer _( _*_Nicole Holofcener_*_ )_ contribute to how the "SA" would be displayed on screen. Briefly/fleetingly showing the two non-gratuitous "SA" seconds, also pays off at the end of the film when viewers see the consequence of the dead, nude carcass of Jacques Le Gris, strung up for public display. 📽 🎬 🎞 *HOLOFCENER:* _"Well, we knew we didn't want nudity, and we knew that the difference between the two scenes had to be really, really subtle because Jacques Le Gris did not think he raped Marguerite.

And so, you know, we'd written it so that the dialogue is exactly the same in each scene, but her response is slightly different. Her response in Le Gris's eyes was more flirtatious. She seemed almost kind of into it and like she was playing a game. And when they're having sex - or he is raping her - she looks a lot more like she's enjoying it.

I couldn’t disagree more that showing the SA twice was unnecessary or that they were too similar. Marguerite’s perspective was much harder to watch, and the first time we saw it was shocking enough. Adam Driver’s character didn’t remember the way she cried until the very end, and continued as he left the room.

I gotta say, people often remark how Alex just criticizes everything, but notice how he was the one person pointing out the narrative power of how Adam Driver's character literally died thinking he'd done no wrong. He's not playing devil's advocate. He's just pointing out the cerebral aspect of how Driver's character went to the grave not understanding why what he did could be considered wrong. Particularly in a movie about contrasting perspectives, that's really interesting... if you're smart enough to pick up on it. Sometimes you just gotta give Alex that he's actually smart and there's a lot of stupid shit in the world. When there's something deep and smart worth pointing it out he isn't so committed to putting down others and their ideas that he dismisses it.

In my view a BIG NO on the part that Adam Drivers character thought it was fine. He literally got a guy to get her to open the door and sneak in her home and rape her and it was his friends/ past friends wife as well. Does not matter what time period it is for that or their would not of even been a duel if people did not care about having their wives/women raped and used by others haha and also she was not a peasant or common person on some war mission, she was considered high status overall. The point was his ego/pride or whatever you want to call it caused him not to care about what she wanted and so forth and all that stuff and the point was he wanted to see what he wanted to see not what actually happened. In the end he wanted to conquer his obsessive mission in his eyes. You also have to understand he only saw the woman a few times from a distance and had one simple cultural friendly kiss and then said he was in love with her for example, which is a obvious red flag situation. He was deranged and in a predatory manic episode or whatever you want to call it and yes it was a time where Might meant Right but unless he was mentally retarded in some form he knew what he was doing obviously. But ya was a good movie. Live for medieval stuff.

The film was pretty harsh on Jean de Carrouges - there's no reason to think that a man knighted on the battlefield for his prowess at fighting wouldn't have the respect of his fellow soldiers. Also implying he was inept with his finances and Marguerite prospered for 30 years after his death due her brilliance ignores the fact that the King gave him a small fortune and yearly salary after winning the duel (he became the King's personal bodyguard after the duel and was sent on special missions which denoted his valued position). The fact the Count favoured Le Gris meant a normal legal route wasn't a possibility, so as much as Jean may have been satisfying a rivarly or protecting his pride, in a chivalric age he was much risking his life for justice and honour in the duel against Le Gris, who despite having less military experience was apparently a much larger man.

It's also not clear whether the soldiers who laughed at him were the same ones that served under his father or were with le Gris or Pierre.

Nicole Holofcener who wrote the third part of the film (marguerite perspective) seems to have decided that Jean de carrouges was an insensitive man who lacked empathy for his wife, I have tried to find has many archives of the time as possible about these events and I could not find any that confirm that Jean de carrouges was a jerk to his wife, Quite the contrary, he believed her and defended her multiple times. He had a warmer conversation with her before the duel and went back to her without needing the king to remind him to go look for his wife.

@@femtoservants You aren't going to find real accounts of what Jean was like with his wife when they were in private. Anything you read will probably be romanticized and from his pov. The only testimony we get from Marguerite occurred while he was there, so she wasn't going to say anything bad about her husband that could negatively affect her trial or her marriage after. Jean also had motives to defend his wife besides love or believing what she said was true. Even if he knew she was lying, he would probably take the opportunity to get revenge on Jacques. And you have to sell that lie just like Katniss and Peta in Hunger Games.

The contradictory narratives of shared events is called "Rashomon Effect" named after Rashomon by Kurosawa. A lot of the repeated scenes are similar save a few characters withhold lines of dialogue, but the scene of sexual assault there are a few notable differences. I believe the lighting is darker when Jacques enters (need to doublecheck) and the camerawork emphasizes Marguerite's attempts to make distance in her version. In his version she takes the shoes deliberately off whereas in her version they fall off in her frantic attempt to make an escape. The playful chase from Jacques's perspective is a lot longer with Marguerite trying to fake him out whereas in her version it's a lot faster and he catches her abruptly, in his version once he has placed her on her back there's no more physical resistance, her legs aren't kicking out, whereas they do while she's on her back in her version. And obviously she's screaming no and pleading and crying a lot more in her version. Obviously it's sexual assault in both situations but there are very clear differences to the memory and it's obviously more harrowing the second time.

To me the sexual assault in Jacques version was meant to make it look like she was pretending to fight him off like in the sex scene with the girls. He was trying to make her seem like she was actually willing but upholding modesty. I kept thinking is she liking this or not. While he was pushier and more predatory like but she was less resistant. While her version actually he actually seemed gentler at first but with a manipulative fake approach. He definitely seemed like he had a motive and it wasn’t love. He less frantic almost like he was trying to calm her but it was fake and threaten her less but then proceeding to disturbingly rape her. In this version she seemed more frantic less playful, seemed to almost outrun him, called her servant 3 times instead of once and he didn’t mock her, she was resistant and was visibly frightened. But the whole time I just got the vibe he was trying to convince her that what happened didn’t just happened and that he “loved her”. Just a complete mind fuck and shows how sadistic he really was. He did that to get back at Jean and that’s that. It was sick how he tried to play with her mind in her version.

Yes, this was based on a real event. Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) and Jacque Le Gris (Adam Driver) were once friends and squires together. However, Le Gris was also a cleric of the Church and thus could both read and write. That gave him a leg up and saw him rise rapidly in favor with Count Pierre d'Alençon (Ben Affleck), and he was knighted and allowed to purchase the valuable property of Aunou-le-Faucon. Carrouges would remain a squire for quite a long time, during which his first wife and only son would die tragically. Eventually he would become a knight, after a lengthy campaign against the English. He would also marry Marguerite de Thibouville, through which he had some claim on Aunou-le-Faucon as her dowry. Le Gris and the Count fought this in court (I'm glossing over a lot here) and succeeded. It was during all of this that the rape allegations are made. Trivia: Each part was written by a different writer. Matt Damon wrote the part centered on Carrouges. Ben Affleck wrote the Le Gris part (which he was originally supposed to play but scheduling issues killed that), and Nicole Holofcener wrote Marguerite's part. Also, each part is based on the direct testimony of the people involved. This is one of if not the most well documented and preserved medieval trials we know of. The original documents are still in the archive in Paris. Spoiler Most historians believe that Le Gris was guilty, but they admit there is no way to truly prove that. A big issue is that Le Gris' own alibi witness would be caught raping a woman during the build up to the trial, and Le Gris claimed he could not have made such a trip that time of the year in a single day; he was 56 years old. And no Marguerite de Thibouville did not burn at the stake over this.

That's a little bit incorrect. Le Gris was only knighted at the duel to make the two combatants of equal status. He was a squire up until that point, albeit one with much higher actual status than Carrouges. Carrouges wanted the estate Arnou-le-Faucon as dowry for his marriage despite the fact that Count Pierre d'Alencon, whom Le Gris served under, had legally purchased it from her father and awarded it to Le Gris both for his service and for giving him a loan to move his court.

I think you guys missed the differences between scenes that were repeated in each pov. For example, the scene where Damon and Driver make up and Driver meets Marguerite for the first time. In Damon's perspective, he is the one who says they should not quarrel b/c they are servants of the king. In Drivers perspective, he says it and in Marguerite's perspective, it is Damon's other friend who said it. Each guy tries to present himself as more honorable. Even the opening battle scene is different as Damon's pov highlights him saving Driver and Driver's shows that he saved Damon first. The only one I think could have been done better is the Driver pov of the rape scene. To a modern audience, it definitely looks like rape (even though I've seen some people weren't sure). The chastity protesting could have been introduced better earlier and/or have her not fight back as much (even though it was less than in her pov).

I also thought the other guy would win. Spoiler, very small. I was surprised she was wearing lipstick in that end scene. I know, what? The whole film it seemed very realistic for the women being very plain and then that scene. It just seemed odd because I thought only harlots wore makeup in that time.

I get very uncomfortable watching them but this was one of the rare films where not only did they show it once. They showed it 2 times and both times were needed. Since the story revolves around the rape and thier stories seeing the act makes the story have so much weight. The last fight scene was one of the most climatic scenes I've ever watched. These 2 guys battling to death one for his life and his wife's honor. The psychological way at the end where he still wouldn't confess would fuck a man up for years with doubt

I’m not sure why this film hasn’t been more successful than it was. Score was beautiful, wonderful cast, incredible choreography, good staging wonderful set pieces and a beautiful exploration of the depths of the “truth” how it is a matter of perspective and it’s all capped off with a glorious final battle that still manages to feel you empty on the inside. This was a masterpiece of a movie that leaves you saying “damn” as the credits roll. Whether or not it’s flop is due to the uncomfortable topics it explores or simple missed opportunity, covid idk but imo it’s the best film of the year.

I hope to see The Last Duel this weekend along with Halloween Kills. As a huge fan of Ridley Scott's films and as someone who loves his earlier historical epics like 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven: The Director's Cut and Robin Hood (2010), I really can't wait to see his latest big-screen epic. Ridley Scott's epic films such as the above-mentioned films & The Last Duel are all brilliant throwbacks to the days of Golden Era Hollywood when epic films like those were regularly made. Spartacus, El Cid, The Vikings, Joan of Arc and Ben-Hur amongst my favorite Classic Hollywood epics as well as the films of another master of the epic film genre Akira Kurosawa with The 7 Samurai, Throne of Blood, Ran (Joe is actually a big fan of that film), The Hidden Fortress (George Lucas' inspiration for the very first Star Wars film), Yojimbo & Rashomon being amongst his greatest ever films and speaking of Rashomon, I like that The Last Duel uses the different points of view of the film's 3 main characters to tell the story from different perspectives which is reminiscent of Kurosawa's Rashomon which first introduced to film the idea of telling the same story from multiple opposing POVs with each character's POV giving a different account of the same events depicted in the film. Definitely can't wait to see this one✌

In Jacques le Gris's account of the event, Marguerite runs away from him _slowly_ and slows down even more so numerous times to look back at him, as if she is conflicted about his pursuit of her: a part of her is driven to evade him because she's married but a part of her wants him to catch her because she finds him attractive and does not enjoy sex with her husband. Hence, from Jacques' perspective, she is merely teasing him but is not truly trying to escape from him. The following differences between Jacques' account and Marguerite account illustrate why Jacques' interpreted the event as consensual. *1A: Jacques' Account:* Marguerite slowly runs toward the stairway and then stops to kick off her slippers when she reaches the base of the stairway. *1B: Marguerite's Account:* Marguerite quickly runs toward the stairway and doesn't stop to kick off her slippers when she reaches them; she kicks off her slippers _as_ she runs up the stairway, thereby not wasting any time getting away from Jacques. *2A: Jacques' Account:* Marguerite moves up the stairway and through the subsequent corridor so slowly that Jacques merely has to walk to stay closely behind her; it's as if she is leading Jacques to the bedroom. *2B: Marguerite's Account:" Marguerite moves up the stairway and through the subsequent corridor so quickly, that Jackques has to sprint to stay closely behind her; she is definitely trying to flee from him. *3A: Jacques' Account:* Margaurite turns around to look back at Jacques' after she enters the bedroom and as she attempts to close the door; she pauses for a second and makes eye contact, which gives Jacques enough time to catch up to her before she shuts the door. Also, when Jacques pushes the door open as she is attempting to close it, she stops attempting to close it and even pulls it back open herself as he pushes it open - thus assisting his entry into the room. *3B Marguerite's Account:* Marguerite's does not stop to look back at Jacques after she enters the room; she simply attempts to close the door as quickly as possible to prevent Jacques from catching her. *4A Jacques' Account:* Marguerite calmly calls out for help only once and without much panic in her voice, as if she's calling out just to be sure that no one else is around or to obstensibly appear to fulfill a woman's duty to call out for help. When Jacques grabs Marguerite, she calmly says "no," as if she doesn't mean it; she also doesn't struggle much to get out of his grasp and she doesn't cry when he enters her. *4B Marguerite's Account:* Marguerite's calls out for help not once but twice - and she sounds very scared and as if she's panicking. She also puts up more resistance when he grabs her and she cries when he enters her.

Yes, movie could be shorter, and some scenes are not necessary, they differs from different perspectives, but not necessary. Watching THAT scene twice, was painful. I understand why they did it this way. 1st time was from guys perspective, and felt water down, and didn't felt that she didn't tried hard enough to reject him, and may even enjoy it. 2nd time when you watch from her perspective, it's way more brutal, and felt more like a real deal. Maybe that's whole the point. He didn't saw that as a r*pe and thinks it's all just a game. As he had foreshadowthat scene with a hookers.

To the husband she was naive and little. The Jacques she was a seductress and almost sinfully smart and witty to the point she seemed fast (I say this because I assume it was considered inappropriate or rebellious to be that smart as a woman in those times feeding more into her appearing untamed and independent. Which in a way kind of made her seem naughty, right?). From the wife perspective she was smart, assertive and honest. I thought the movie was uncomfortable and corny at first but I realized it was the bloating of the powerful mans perspective. These men were egotistical and ridiculous and now I get why it was so cringey. That was the point. It wasn’t bad acting. It was on purpose. Powerful men have been known to have cringe uncomfortable perspectives, behavior and thoughts. But I noticed when we got to the wife’s perspective the movie got more serious, realistic, less ridiculous(more ridiculous with the men) and got more to the point of what the movie was all about. The humor turned to disgust and shock. Strangeness turned psychopathy especially for the king. He gave me serious little shit from game of thrones vibes towards the end. But everyone’s behaviors started to make more sense in contrast to the wife who was obviously living in reality and not of ego. Also, if you notice the women in general lived in reality and matched our feelings better than the men at times. They seemed to be disturbed and or aware of what was happening while the men where completely morons and lived in another world and didn’t have a clue of the kind of damaging they were doing.

I think that tthey showed those uncomfortable scenes twice, because apparently, in the historic case, it wasn't fully confirmed Le Gris was either guilty or innocent, hence the difference in the dynamics of the same scene, although perhaps not that much noticeable, it's like those crime tv serieses where the dynamics of the crimes change constantly as the main cast comes to solving the case or to give the audience dout of who may have done it.

At 4:20 OJ wondered why they didn't show only the key differences, but I felt like that's exactly what they did. The only stuff that got repeated (including the pivotal act of violence central) were things that *did* have important differences.

At that time the majority of nobles in England and France speak the old version of Occitan. Most Norman and Plantagenet nobles did not want to learn English as they saw it as a commoners language. Henry V of England was the first who actually learn to speak English. English, French, Burgundian, and Navarre nobles have no difficulty understanding each other. Those noble were cousins, they came from the House Capet, and speak the same language.

You guys completely missed how different two portrayals of sexual assault were. It wasn't about making people uncomfortable, it was actually showing different emotions by Margaret character. When it's shown from her perspective it is much more violent and distressing, while when showed from Adam Driver's character it's much less violent.

It's a shityy situation but he died believing it wasn't clap because she was playful which she was.

Really enjoyed it. It was riveting, powerful, and difficult to watch in certain moments. Beautifully shot and really liked the score, subtle but adds to the impact. Ridley Scott did a great job in choosing where to include music and where to leave it out. I really thought Damon and Jodie Comer were great but honestly as much as I really like Adam Driver, I don't think he fits with this historical time period. Maybe that's just me. Lastly, the way they tell the story is interesting but I think it could have flowed a little better if it was told differently.

I really think they had to show the SA scene twice. Everything from her response to him saying "I love you" to her response was completely different. The first time we see it we know its awful, but the second time we get to see how truly awful it is without the barrier of Adam Driver's character's perspective, without him thinking that all ladies put up a "bit" of a fight.

Showing the rape scene again isn't just "to make you uncomfortable". It's to show that it didn't happen the way Adam Drivers character tells how it did. And it is the really uncomfortable scene. From his perspective it's by far not as uncomfortable and that's the damn point. Both scenes are necessary.

I love the fact that they think that SA scene is the same, just shows the subtle the differences were that they couldn't pick it up. I mean the way she backs up, her shoe falling off versus being taken off, her voice inflection throughout the scene, the more obvious crying. Each person thought and interested what happened to the point where I actually think Adam Driver's character didn't think it was rape as from his point of view and from that time period's social norms, it was flirting and so many scenes make it seem like she was in love with him. The shared book interest scene with her than smiling at him while dancing with her husband. Once you know the whole truth, we know he was in the wrong, and without her side, I would bet a jury would not be 100% sold, that's how subtle the movie was when showing two scenes again. Great movie and sad to see it bomb.

I would have liked if they romanticized the history a bit more to make things more morally grey between each characters perspective. While I appreciated that they're were subtle differences between each testimony, I would have liked a few more pronounced exchanges that muddle the waters more. Like an easy example would have the Holofcener's story be that she coincidentally runs into Driver a lot and chats casually, but Driver insinuates that there meetings were more flirtatious; perhaps they at some point make seemingly innocuous physical contact but each recall it differently (what with the time period, a simple touch, like a holding hands, would be deemed extremely inappropriate). This would better justify the doubts being cast by the jury. This would also help Driver appear more sympathetic, that while he may be guilty of adultery/an affair, their may be more grey/doubt on a rape. Like her story felt too clean, which isn't to say that she wasn't a victim or innocent, but would have been more satisfying to me if her testimony had holes in it too like her counterparts. I also wished the casting was a bit better, the actors did great, but I think they needed actors that could better emote with expressions/microexpressions of the face/body language. To see each character being more defensive during court would have been nice or whenever. Each testimony was subtly different but I would have liked some reactions in court and whatnot.

Don't know if you've seen it yet or not, but I watched the first 10 or so minutes of the review and decided to see the movie. Only reason I bring that up is because the "repeat scenes" aren't quite what I figured they would be based on what they were saying. Basically, while there are scenes that play out two or three different times, you see small or major differences in each one, depending on who's account you look at. It's an 8/10 for me. It is long, but it doesn't exactly waste time either. It's Ridley Scott, and as my dad so well put it, his movies are very cerebral. So, don't expect some non-stop battlefield war flick, but it does mix in some fighting to slap you awake.

I think an important point to note about the movie is how Matt Damon’s character was being treated , how he has to pay expensive taxes , looses his promised land and his inheritance position of captain of a fort. All while risking his life in battle all the time .Then to hear his wife was raped you can see how he feels betrayed by everyone around him and that explains his demeanour. He did care about his wife although a bit misguided he risked his name and his honor just to prove she was innocent risking his life - like to me he’s a real hero but not perfect he was just misguided and broken. He had loyalty, honour , respect, and was religious
