For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

It doesn't prove you are innocent, it means "we gave it a shot, tried to kill him, it didn't work, let's forget about this whole business"

Why is this movie called "The Last Duel" if it's about medieval knights?

Pretty sure they kept dueling for a while after. You had Musketeers and US (Vice) President dueling. I know all about that, it was a pretty big deal.

I guess it's the last (Judicial) Duel??? But that's not in the title.

He's probably right and that audiences had more patience in the past for a slower movie and were more likely to give a film their full attention. I'm sure he's noticed it by watching audiences over his entire 40 year career. But he could have sounded less like a grumpy old man.

Producers: Well, Ridley---

Ridley Scott: Please, call me Sir Ridley.

Producers: Of course, our apologies, Sir Ridley. Now, we're all excited to hear the pitch for your next movie.

Sir Ridley Scott: I can sum it up in one word.

Producers: Oh really, and what word is that?

Sir Ridley the Great: "Rape"

Producers: *silence*

Sir Ridley the Great Director: You're flabbergasted, I can tell---

Producers: Well, Sir Ridley, we're not quite sure how that is going to go over given that Hollywood is facing a reckoning given its many sins of sexual harassment and assault.

Sir Ridley the Wise: Oh, it's not glorifying rape. It's about finding justice.

Producers: Ah, well, that's different. Are you thinking about looking into the stories of recent victims?

Sir Ridley the Majestic: No, it's a period piece. It's set in the Middle Ages.

Producers: ...okay...

Sir Ridley the Learned: And it seeks justice for the men accused of rape through a duel.

Producers: Uh...

Sir Ridley the Well-Received: Because I can think of nothing more horrifying than being wrongfully accused of rape.

Producers: ...so you're dead set on doing this.

Sir Ridley the Unyielding: Absolutely.

Producers: Fine. I take it you've got a script?

Sir Ridley the Well-Prepared: Indeed.

Producers: Who wrote it?

Sir Ridley the Very Not Mad: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Producers: *facepalm*

I can't prove this because I dont think I've seen all of his movies, but I'm not sure Ridley Scott's ever made a bad one. I'll generally go see something of his. Unfortunately I never even heard of this movie until today. He should be mad at whoever failed to run its marketing campaign

Its been a long time since I read the book but I thought the husband just wanted to kill the other guy for political reasons and used his wife's situation as an excuse rather than it being about "justice"
