CANTERBURY TALES ACTORS

  CANTERBURY TALES ACTORS

If I were to make a movie for canterbury tales;

For Knight I would ask Ray Winstone, who was featuring as Beowulf for Beowulf movie released in 2007. The reason I would choose him because the prologue mentions that“ There was a Knight, a most distinguished man,who from the day on which he first began to ride abroad had followed chivalry,truth honor, generousness and courtesy.” These lines basically tell us that he would go to other countries and fight with honor . He was generous and truthful like Beowulf. In that movie we can see that Beowulf(Ray Winstone) is a good fighter, he shares the stuff he gets from the wars with the people in the village. Also in the Prologue it talks about how great warrior was he and he traveled and fought in Mediterranean coast which almost the same thing that Beowulf did , he went to Denmark to save the people there. Besides the movie, Ray Winstone is a guy who can really act out characters such as knights, mafias,landowners, etc.. So I would definitely choose him for the Knight.

For the Doctor, I would choose Adam Sandler with no doubt. Adam Sandler has played in the movie called “Just go with it “ as a doctor. Him and his mate(Jennifer Anniston) had their own business. The reason I am choosing Adam Sandler is because the prologue talks about his relationship with the pharmacist how they worked together and made money. “All his apothecaries in a tribe, were ready with the drugs he would prescribe and each made money from the other's guide.” Also the prologue mentions that the Doctor is really good at his job , he is a good talker , he can talk to his patients with a great way that he can send them to the pharmacist. Also he did not really follow the bible ,so basically this is a perfect fit for Adam Sandler. In “Just go with it” , his role was kind of the same. In his other movies , we can see that he can really make good acting of a doctor and we can see how good talker he is so I would definitely go with Adam for the Doctor.

For my third and last character which is the wife of bath, which I would choose Kim Kardashian as known as my dream lady. She matches with her perfectly. She dresses up different and nicer then any other woman. She changes a lot of guys and also she is multicultural, she has been to a lot of countries. These lines in the poetry “She'd been to Rome and also to Boulogne, St James of Compostella and Cologne,And she was skilled in wandering , by the way. She had gap-teeth ,set widely,truth to say.” basically states the things I mentioned. Their personalities matches too. They are both lovers and effect the guys with their looks. Kim Kardashian is taking attention with he look and so as the wife with the gap between her teeth. It was a sign of a good looking and saying truth back in the day. I think Kim Kardashian is the best fit for her, not only her acting skills, also her character is matching with the Wife of Bath too so she would be really good at acting her out.
