  • I think the real lesson the film tries to teach is that the ends don’t necessarily justify the means. Gawain sees the successful but empty life that he would live by making every decision cynically, and decides that an honest, honorable life would be more fulfilling even if he doesn’t fulfill his every ambition.

    The film emphasizes the leap or faith he’s taking by ending uncertainly, but in the original poem the Green Knight spares Gawain and rewards his honorable choice.
