The director can\u2019t shake his costume habit, and we can\u2019t shake the director. His latest movie, set in 14th century France, during the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hundred_Years%27_War\">Hundred Years\u2019 War<\/a>, reunites Scott with sweeping vistas and hordes of extras caked in mud and blood. Based on a true story, <strong style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\"><em>The Last Duel<\/em> <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">depicts <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">the last \u201ctrial by combat,\u201d a legally sanctioned fight between the knight Jean de Carrouges (<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">Matt Damon<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">) and a squire, Jacques Le Gris (<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">Adam Driver<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">), after Carrouges\u2019 wife, Marguerite (<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">Jodie Comer<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">), accuses Le Gris of sexual assault.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The clashing of swords resolves the dispute. If Carrouges comes out the victor, God has decreed Marguerite righteous, and his honor will be restored. If Le Gris wins in combat, God has condemned Marguerite\u2019s lies, and she must burn at the stake. Presiding over the match is Count Pierre d\u2019Alen\u00e7on (<strong>Ben Affleck<\/strong>). He is a supporting character in the movie but a critical figure during the Hundred Years\u2019 War. Before these events, he was held hostage by the British for nearly fifteen years until he was exchanged for King John after the Battle of Poitiers.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the new trailer for <em>The Last Duel<\/em> here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Last Duel | Official Trailer | 20th Century Studios\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mgygUwPJvYk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A lot of concern swarmed <em>The Last Duel<\/em> during its production. One, due to its grim subject matter, some thought Disney would sell the property after their Fox merger. Two, it\u2019s a screenwriting reunion for Damon and Affleck, who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1998 for <em>Good Will Hunting<\/em>, plus a bonus partnership with\u00a0<strong>Nicole Holofcener<\/strong>, who earned an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for <em>Can You Ever Forgive Me? <\/em>in 2019. Three, the massive movie was forced to halt production amidst Covid, and getting such a beast back up and running was a colossal endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>All of that falls by the wayside now that the trailer for\u00a0<em>The Last Duel<\/em> is here. What we witness in the shots below is Ridley Scott doing what he does best: tr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing actors in wretched history and having them match their epic setting <span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">with grandiose performances. While these particular Scott vehicles don\u2019t always pan out, we\u2019re hoping for a <em>Gladiator<\/em> or <em>Kingdom of Heaven<\/em>\u00a0(director\u2019s cut, of course) rather than a <em>Robin Hood<\/em> or <em>Exodus<\/em>: <em>Gods and Kings<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366525\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-Shot-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Duel Trailer Shot\" width=\"800\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-Shot-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-Shot-1-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Last Duel<\/em> trailer starts small with Marguerite being accosted by the only question that matters: \u201cDo you swear on your life that what you say is true?\u201d The movie reveals itself in tiny s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s over black. We\u2019re in prison with her until the trailer blows open, and we are buffeted by Ridley Scott violence. This first wide shot, depicting the surge of humanity rushing toward the combat arena, reveals our hunger for supervised bloodshed. We can\u2019t control the royal whims that dictate our fate, but we can happily munch on snacks and watch these lords do each other in.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366526\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-Shot-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Duel Trailer Shot\" width=\"800\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-Shot-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-Shot-2-768x317.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Here is our first meeting between knight and squire. The trick is not to be distracted by Damon\u2019s handsome mullet and gnarly facial scars. Observe Comer\u2019s death-stare slicing through Carrouges and Le Gris\u2019 handshake. Whatever has occurred between her and Le Gris is firmly rooted in the past. She appears petrified by her husband\u2019s camaraderie. Their embrace is her enslavement.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366527\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-3.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Duel Trailer\" width=\"800\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-3-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone by Damon\u2019s mullet, Affleck is sporting an equally fresh look. Marguerite speaks over this shot, explaining how she was, at some point, a good wife, but it led only to judgment and shame. Affleck\u2019s d\u2019Alen\u00e7on squirms in his seat. His comfort does not appear as easily obtained as the subjects that surround his stage. The duel is an absurd act and on its way out as far as its legal binding is concerned. As the last one ever sanctioned in France, we see how its observers struggle with the execution. Yet, no one dares stop it; they\u2019re still bonded to the system and the religious and patriarchal terror driving it.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-366528 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-4.jpg\" alt=\"The Arena\" width=\"800\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-4-768x318.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Inside the arena, the rules are decreed. Carrouges and Le Gris are strapped into their armor and mounted on their horses. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> faces appear strong, their stride less so. As Marguerite is forced to profess her truth to the crowd, we watch two men on horseback collide with each other. Ridley Scott is slamming hard into the folly and the futility behind the action.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366529\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-5.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Duel Trailer\" width=\"800\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-5-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all pomp and circumstance. We\u2019re watching boys playing men, passing gold scepters between each other as if there was any real meaning to the gesture. Except, there is real meaning there. As the <em>Last Duel <\/em>trailer fires directly at Marguerite when d\u2019Alen\u00e7on hands the gold over to Le Gris, \u201cThe truth does not matter; there is only the power of men.\u201d What they decree meaningful is meaningful.

Does anything underscore the childish nature of royalty more than an actual child royal? How about a mad one? King Charles began his reign known as \u201cThe Beloved,\u201d but eventually, he would earn the title \u201cThe Mad.\u201d The kid king is ultimately\u00a0consumed by mental illness, terrifying those around him with extreme psychotic episodes. It was not uncommon for Charles to be constrained by his advisors during these frenzied outbursts. He also believed that he was made of glass, and this delusion drove him to wear iron rods in his clothes so he would not shatter if he collapsed on the floor or into another person.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-366531 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-7.jpg\" alt=\"Background Actors Aghast\" width=\"800\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-7.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Last-Duel-Trailer-7-768x318.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Carrouges grabs hold of Marguerite and exclaims how he is risking his life for her. But she retorts, \u201cYou are risking my life so you can save your pride.\u201d It\u2019s the <em>Last Duel <\/em>trailer\u2019s mic drop moment, nearly ruined by a few folks in the background. Go rewatch the sequence. I\u2019ll wait. Those two extras are aghast! They appeared on set ready to act, and they did so with every fiber of their being.
