I was lossing my JUMPFORGOODIE account so I wonder if you could send me the filefile here
Medieval Movie Handout

following questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. Follow your Style Sheet. Remember
to name your file correctly when you submit it.
1. In a few sentences, summarize the main action of the film (and indicate the film

2. Did you like the movie? Why or why not?
3. How was medieval life represented in the film? Did this representation fit with
your concept of what medieval life was like?
4. After looking at the Medieval Art modules and this film, what were the
differences from real life and Hollywood’s version? What were the similarities?
5. Did this movie add to your understanding of the medieval period? Why or why
not?
6. What about this portrayal of the story makes it feel contemporaneous and up-todate? (Why would someone be interested in it today?)

Below you will find a list of medieval movies. Some you might have already seen, some
you might own. Most are available on NetFlicks, ITunes, Hulu or at the local or college
library. YouTube might have them but be sure it is a complete copy. Please let me
know if you have any questions or are having a hard time finding a film. You will
complete the Medieval Movie Response Handout after you are done watching the film.
