The object of the present work is to discuss about how the video is connected with Medieval Romance. Romance is a popular narrative form. It was introduced in England in the 13th century. Romances were narratives either in prose or poetry. At the beginning the video shows some typical places for example forests, deserts, isolated places and many castles. All places are used as a background for medieval romance. Indeed the protagonist is a knight who makes journeys to dangerous places. Moreover in the video, there are some scenes from “Titanic” or “Lilli e il Vagabondo” which are used to present main topics of the romances: love, the battles between knights and supernatural monsters and in the end battles between knight and other human in order to save a lady. More precisely, the video presents an enormous quantity of images concerning also animals. On addiction, the ideal of courtly love emerges from the video: knights and heroes of medieval romances pursued adventurous deeds for the favor of a lady, or in order to achieve purity of heart.
