The Death of Robin Hood

What if everything you have seen or heard about Robin Hood was a lie? In 13th century England, the dark ages of Man was more likely filled with thievery and violence than good natured heroes helping the everyman survive the cruel dictatorship of the King.

Having spent a fair amount of time in the countrysides of both Northern England as well as Scotland, and being a fan of the Renaissance era, the portrayals seen in the movie felt much more akin to how life must have been back then. Truly violent. A man only has to reflect at the end of one’s life to see if amends could or should be considered.

The movie most likely will not be for most people, but the cinematography, stellar acting, brutal violence and the messages of reconciliation for wrongdoings hit deep for me. The A24 movie studio has done it again, making movies to ponder well after one has exited the theater.
