Is Bertilak the Green Knight in the movie like he is in the poem? If so, I missed any allusion to this. The way the Green Knight touches Gawain's face at the end actually parallels King Arthur, not Bertilak. Was this a change Lowery made from the source material?
shareI don't remember seeing anything in the movie itself that said (or even implied) that the Lord, Bertilak, was the Green Knight. Since that was definitely a part of the original poem, I'd agree that the director changed that detail. Or you could say that the story ended before they got to any point where that could be discussed or revealed.
