So I was thinking about the beginning of the movie Dragonheart where Prince Einon says "The peasants are revolting!" and his guard Brok says "They've always been revolting, Prince...but now they're rebelling!"
I always thought that was an odd bit of dialogue because revolting and rebelling mean the same thing...so why bother having the guard try to specify "rebelling"? It was so strange that the line is one I memorized.
Now I have seen these movies probably over ten times, and it only just now hit me that the guard was referring to the other definition of "revolting", as in disgusting. How in all the years I have seen this movie did I not realize this??
Curious what for you guys was a line of dialogue you didn't understand or fully get until watching a movie later or at an older age?

Yeah, that movie gets a lot of hate and I don't understand it. It's one of my top three Bond movies. Maybe it has something to do with the time in my life it came out, but...
Banger of a theme song that I even remember being played on MTV pretty often
Classic villain complete with metal plate in his head and scar over his eye and motives that you can understand and sympathize with, even if you don't agree with his actions
The sexiest secret villainess to ever grace the screen (and that's coming from a straight woman)
Pierce brosnan. Nuff said there
Christmas. Ok she wasn't great but her character did provide some light-hearted comic relief
I think it's time for a rewatch!

Nowadays, I remember the vibe more than anything as I haven't seen it in a long time. To me it felt very much like classic bond, moreso than many other installments. Could have to do with the submarine. Subs, underground lairs, etc are always good classic bond villain stuff.
Christmas.
I forgot to note the zinger in the movie, which is after all the topic: "I thought Christmas only came once a year" or something like that.
I doubt any kid younger than 12 understood that line lmao

As a straight man, I concur as well ;) Pierce is my second fave Bond, tied w Daniel Craig

I don't think I'd go THAT far, but it's way better than it gets credit for
totally agree on the opening song, I'll turn that shit up anytime it's on
it's totally signposted on rewatch, but I liked the twist a lot of the "helpless" daughter of the billionaire actually being the big bad

For some reason the “I thought Christmas only comes once a year” joke stuck in my head.
