King Arthur and his legend

King Arthur, Knights of the Round Table, Mage Merlin, Sword in the Stone, Avalon and other legends have all heard of it, so they are very interested. Many fantasy works and games are also based on medieval settings, swords and magic, knights and wizards, elves, dwarves and so on. Saw the myths in Season 9 of Stargate SG-1 and wanted to know more.

The myths and history of the British are also mixed together. King Arthur and some related legends have sources. This film has no mythological color and is made as an epic film, so we can't see Merlin's magic... Speaking of which China is a typical mix of mythology and history. The three emperors and five emperors are all in mythology. There are various reasons, and it is very interesting to study carefully, such as why Yandi and Chiyou are described as monsters, and so on. But what I am puzzled is that the British mythology is more than 300 years old, and even Jesus was born more than 300 years ago. Why can't we remember the history clearly. It feels like our Xia, Shang and Zhou feelings. Isn't the Fengshen list also a myth and history, but for more than 300 years AD, we have all been in the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasty.

When it comes to the film itself, it's a little disappointing. I don't know how the British would feel. Anyway, I didn't understand a few places. Arthur appeared suddenly, and his martial arts were not even as strong as his knights (of course also It doesn't mean that it must be strong, but there must be something outstanding), the cause and effect are not explained too clearly, the war scenes are also ordinary, the medieval cold weapons, everyone fights with all kinds of broken copper and iron, those extra actors play It's just a slow gesture... The director should adjust the speed a little faster. Merlin is a barbarian wizard who does not know magic in this film, and there is no plot of him assisting Arthur. Of course, maybe this is close to history? The Sword in the Stone was actually a sword that his father had planted on the ground (maybe on the grave?). Avalon's treasure naturally did not appear...
