After paying the fee, I discovered that the film was shot in 1981. Out of the long-standing love of the Middle Ages, I watched it with relish. I suddenly realized that the legend of King Arthur and Merlin, like the Lord of the Rings, took place in the curtain call of the gods and the king of kings. At this time, it's just that different ancient gods can still be seen in the Lord of the Rings. After helping humans to eliminate the magic capital, they went away. When King Arthur came, there were only wizards in the world, and the gods had become legends.

They are what Mr. Lu Xun called "people who work hard", "people who sacrifice their lives for law", "the backbone of China" and soul.

  • Uther: Merlin! Where are you? Call your dragon to weave a mist to hide us!

  • Merlin: The days of our kind are numberèd. The one God comes to drive out the many gods. The spirits of wood and stream grow silent. It's the way of things. Yes... it's a time for men, and their ways.
