Description<\/strong>: The climactic action sequence of the film consists of a battle between Prince John, and his guards, against Robin Hood, his merry men, King Richard the Lion-Heart, and his supporters. The sequence is significant for manifesting conventions that are still used in contemporary films, and for employing a stylistic flourish. First, it separates the antagonist (Sir Guy of Gisbourne, played by Basil Rathbone) and the protagonist (Robin Hood played, by Errol Flynn) from the rest of the battle to better individuate their one-on-one sword fight [Figure 1]. Second, as a result of this separation, the film’s plotline splits into two, permitting parallel editing between the one-on-one fight and the main battle [Figure 2 and 3]. Third, during the one-on-one swordfight, the participants momentarily continue their fight off-screen, allowing their swordplay to be expressively depicted through their shadows [Figure 4].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
