After a carefree childhood, we will begin to think and find the meaning and destination of this life, which is even more so with age. As described in the movie "King Arthur", perhaps what each of us pursues is actually a world that only exists in our own dreams. When we find the shadow of our dreams shining into reality, we think that it is the homeland we dream of. When one day our long-belief dream is shattered and we find that there is no way to go, we will deeply realize the insignificance and sorrow of life. But people's thinking will not stop, always find new shadows in the ashes of despair, and start a new pursuit.
The seven Samesian knights served for the Roman Empire for fifteen years in order to fulfill the original sin agreement. On the day when the knights completed their contract and thought they were about to regain their freedom, they even began to imagine a happy life in the future. They gave an impossible "last order"-to pass through the jungle controlled by the tattooed tribe, and rescue the Mario family and their son Ya, who were very important to Rome before the invading Saxon army arrived. Ledo. As the commander, Arthur was so angry that the lives of the knights had been manipulated by the Holy See, but in order to prevent everyone from being chased by the Holy See, he accepted this "last order". On the other side of this moment, the knights are celebrating the coming freedom and drinking happily—the bold Pers, the wandering Gwen, the wandering Tristan, the taciturn Daguenai, the somewhat childish Gallahed, and Lancelow, who always covets other people's wives. Pouls forced his wife to sing a song for everyone. When Winora sang, whether it was Gewen who was busy picking up girls, Lancelow who was betting money with people, or other knights who were drinking, they all looked like As if he was enchanted, he fell silent instantly. At this moment, the homesickness deeply buried in my heart is reawakened, all immersed in infinite memories of hometown. No matter if what is flashing in their eyes at this time is longing, sadness or tears, in their hearts, their hometown is sacred and cannot be profaned casually.
Arthur’s arrival brought everyone back to reality from their hometown’s dreams. When the knights learned that they would risk their lives to complete the so-called "last order", they were all indignant. The upright Polls roared at Arthur. , But he also knew that he would still follow Arthur firmly. After a while of complaining and quarreling, everyone still chose to complete this unrequited task. As Dagna said: It was the Romans who broke the promise, but we have Arthur’s promise, that is good enough! The so-called confidant, it is those who do not need any reason when everyone does not understand you. A person who firmly says "I'm with you!" In this way, the knights embarked on an unpredictable journey the next day without stopping.
When Arthur and his knights went through difficulties and dangers to the place of the Mallor family, they discovered that the people under Roman rule were living a miserable life. The nobles pretended to be messengers of God, ordering slaves to do heavy work but only gave very little food, and they actually thought that these were just things. These are completely contrary to the Bellagios doctrine that Arthur believed in that people are born free and equal. Under the pressure of the drums of the Saxon army, Arthur insisted on bringing all the personnel including the slaves, and rescued Guinevera, who played a key role in the future. As for the several missionaries who insisted that they were the messengers of God, they went into turmoil, Arthur angrily shut them back to the dungeon. Tristan, who came back from investigating the enemy's situation, reminded Arthur that he can never make it with these people, but he didn't hesitate or flinch.
On the way back, Gui Nivea and Arthur had a verbal collision. Gui Nivea tried to use the fact that Arthur’s mother was a British citizen to awaken the British blood in Arthur's body, and at this time she still believed in her faith. Arthur angrily advises Guinevera not to think she knows others. Then Alto told Arthur Bellagios that he had been executed by Rome a year ago for offending the Holy See, and that what he had been fighting for was actually a non-existent Rome. For the first time, Arthur felt that his inner world was beginning to collapse, and he disappeared into the forward motorcade in a daze. After experiencing the battle on the ice and the sacrifice of Dagenai, the knights who returned to Rome were no longer happy to face the bishop's pass. At this time, Arthur was at the bottom of self-blame and despair, and lost his faith in confusion. Gnivia reminded Arthur that Arthur was a "British of Roman descent." Rome was dead and Britain was his hometown, and it was the true homeland of freedom that Arthur had been fighting and sacrificing for.
Soon, the brutal Saxon army approached the city and looked at the ardent eyes of the unarmed people in the city. Arthur finally understood his mission as a knight. Suffered from foreign enemies! Arthur, who was expected to die in this battle, chose to come forward and bid farewell to the knights. When Boers and Arthur looked at each other across the mountain and raised their arms and shouted, they all understood that this difference is likely to be two worlds! Facing the provocation of the traitor, Arthur went out of the city alone to face the entire Saxon army, and after a brief meeting with Arthur, the Saxon leader finally found a man worth killing. The knights on the retreat did not choose to leave in the face of the rumbling drums of the Saxons, but once again fought alongside Arthur! This clip has always been one of my favorite shots in the entire movie: the knights have looked at each other for many years, and they understand each other. When Tristan said to his pet eagle, Now you are free, he was determined to die in this battle. At this time, the knights' faces were filled with pride.
Before the battle, Arthur’s words inspiring the knights expressed the freedom that Arthur felt in his heart——The home we seek resides not in some lands, it's in us and in our actions on this day! After a fierce battle, finally and Arthur, who had teamed up with the tattooed men, defeated the invading Saxons. Both Lancelow and Tristan died in this battle. Tristan looked up at the sky before he died, and the camera showed the eagle again. Perhaps the eagle is indeed free at this time, but his master has already died in battle! And this eagle is like a knight who has left the battlefield-by fate.
The story goes back to the beginning of the film. Young Arthur ran to the river excitedly to show his mother the statue of Bellagios. When he washed and turned around, he found that his mother had gone far away, so he was a close relative like a mother. , Nor can I fully understand my spiritual world. When several knights decided to follow Arthur in the final battle, they might not fully understand the free world in Arthur’s mind, but along the way, it was precisely because of these realities such as Merlin, Joss, Ganis, Alto and his mother. The kind and loyal people remaining in the world helped each other, warmed each other, and fought side by side against the injustice and cruelty of reality, and finally defended the homeland of freedom in their hearts! As Bellagios by the river said to little Arthur at the beginning of the film: The world isn't a perfect place, but perhaps people like you, me and them can make it so.
Throughout the film, the images of several knights The depiction is very vivid and detailed, and the characters and relationships between the knights are also very lively and interesting. Arthur, who is tired of the life of knights and yearns for peace, can always rely on his own beliefs to choose to come forward when the responsibility comes to him. The knights fought for more than a decade of Britain. After the Saxons invaded and Rome gave up, Arthur finally chose to continue fighting and eventually became the King Arthur in the eyes of the British. Perhaps this was the fate of life.
