Film recap tycoon ArthurFilm Review queer ArthurThe demand I will be reviewing is c solelyed King Arthur. King Arthur is from the go with epic genre and is a brilliant well drop together film which will help some auditions in some(prenominal) slip bearing and would be bound to sell. I will alike admit a historic context showing how King Arthur was related to the popish invasion of Britain and how it as well as affected the records involved.The maker of the film is Jerry Bruckheimer. The actors that star in the film argon Clive Owen as might Arthur, Keira Knightley as Guinevere, Ray Winst 1 as Bors, Ioan Gruffudd as Lancelot Stellan Skarsgrd, Stephen Dillane.Clive Owen has a reputation for providing top class films. Back in 1990, he performed as the wisecracking, sharp-suited wheeler-dealer Stephen Crane in the hit show Chancer he was described as the hottest thing on TV.Keira Knightley also has a reputation for providing top films much(prenominal) as her earliest Bend It desire Beckham to in 2003 Pirates of the Caribbean. aft(prenominal) performing in those still lonesome(prenominal) 18 she also preformed in Love Actu partner and then continued Pirates of the Caribbean.From this we laughingstock overtake that all the actors and actresses be excellent and great performers so accordingly my expectations only followed by their reputation.The film is all ab forbidden King Arthur and the Knights of the play Table. It came out in 2004 and furthermosts for 140 minutes.There is a lot of score of this film as King Arthur is a caption. Similar to Robin capital King Arthur has many different stochastic variables such as an older version and this newer version.In my opinion the film is a great one attracting a wide audience of historians, mass with an interest in King Arthur and bodily function packed viewers.King Arthur is believed by some as a fabrication but most believe he was a real king and that he really did make England proud. T his film is set around 409 A.D. This clock was when the popish pudding stone controlled most of Britain. King Arthur, who is partly Roman and an ally to Rome, was mainly British and loved his country that e truly battle in this film he would compact would be for him and his nicknames of the round tables freedom. As an covenant all theseBritish villages had to send their children and some adults to fight for Rome. Similar to subscription and they had to march a certain amount of time where they would earn their freedom. Later on subsequently a few years in around 410 A.D the Roman invasion had ended because Rome had redrawn from Britain due to other opposing enemies and also due to the attack of the Saxons and Scots.The film begins with a well worded description of the legend of King Arthur which reads Historians agree that the classical 15th Century King Arthur and his knights rose from a similar individual who lived in a period often called the Dark Ages. The picture comes awake with a Roman regular army on horseback often called the Praetorian an elite papistic horseback army. The beginning of the film is very important because it sets the convulsion to what the total film is about which in this case is about the Roman Britain Empire and its connection with King Arthur. We see at the start a map out which shows how far the Roman Empire extended which was from Saudi Arabia to Britain and this is a mention point in understanding why Rome called for King Arthur and his knights to lean out so many missions. The reason being that Rome was non satisfied with their land they kept on wanting much and more so drawing cards like King Arthur were sent on missions to restrain the Empire strong. This shows the outline of the film and the reason as to what the film is about. bingle key point that we comment in the film is that Lancelot who is one of Arthurs knights is the narrator and speaks in 1st person I was such a son he said when at the start the r oman army came to recruit him on the grounds similar to conscription. So he was rancid to fight for Rome. because the scene changes and we see King Arthur as a young boy who is presented as a bright future attraction both wealthy and important as we kitty tell by his freedom of movement. Arthur sees the young knights including Lancelot on horseback and asks who they are and he is told they whitethorn some mean solar day be his knights little does he know that one day they will. This is a use of dramatic irony as we know it is to carry on by the role of Lancelot as one of his knights but the example himself is unaware.After this scene thither is a gap which says 15 years later(prenominal) then they are all shown as grown men and we non odouring glass that thither conscription was supposed to be for 15 years because the director lives the audience to find this out for themselves. Then we see the characters for the prototypic time as men and their first mission is to protect the bishop from the quality Woads who Merlin (an old friend of Arthurs) leads. The Woads attack some Roman promenade so Arthur and his knights pace to the scene and upon arrival witness the deaths of these Roman soldiers. The Knights interest up their swords and fight strike the Woads for now as Merlin looks on from the forest. After the attack the Bishop appears utter with an arrow straight through his vanguard however Arthur spots it is not the bishop but a fake. The real Bishop appears and they conference about the great Samaritan Knights that Arthur leads.After they arrive at the castle where all the knights expect their freedom from the subscription that they are bound to. and the Bishop revels that the pope has one more mission for them and all of the knights including King Arthur disapprove after 15 long years of fighting however the mission is to rescue the popes favourite godchild and pupil so whence on their last day of subscription they must go on this mission. A s to be pass judgment all the Knights dont want to go but after a talk from King Arthur unwillingly for Arthur they approve.So after the animadversion of the mission the scene changes and we see who the knights will come up against. Saxons from the north. They were very strong at the time and the opposition to the Romans. When Rome left in 410 A.D it was the Saxons that took over England. We then see the Saxons killing innocent women. This demonstrates the brutality of the Saxons.Then the Knights get on their horseback and ride off towards their mission. They cut through the forest where they are being tracked by Merlins knights. Aware of the movement of the Saxons Merlin traps Arthur and the Knights in the forest and they agree to fight the Saxons together.After reaching their mission point they find Alecto the godchild of the pope. Arthur finds a sneaking(a) door blocked up and his Knight uses his axe to break it down. indoors they find injured Woad. The Woad is called Guinev ere who by legend is the steadytually the wife of King Arthur then this is an important step because this is the entrance of a main character played by Keira Knightley.After a disagreement with the townsman leader the father of Alecto the knights take off away from the Saxons. The Saxons continue to get scalelike and closer. Then they reach the ice and they finally intercept with the Saxons. Ready and brisk to fight the main scene unfolds. The odds start at 7 Samaritan knights against 200 Saxons.The fight starts with the 7 using their long bows to cut off the wings of the 200 it forces them to stay together putting more burden on the ice eventually the ice begins to break however their out of range and the ice hasnt broken. Dagenot one of the knights runs forward with his axe and breaks the ice covered by the other 6 with their longbows. Unfortunately he is picture with arrows 3 times and dies however their mission is a success in one way but a loss in another.The coterminous scene begins back at the castle where they are greeted by the Bishop who is keen to see Alecto. They are given their freedom but Bors and all the others are unhappy due to the loss of Daganot. They buried Daganot and looked on in a sad manner.Then we see the final scene which is where the Saxons have move to Hadrians Wall and are ready to attack the Emperor and the knights. However the Romans are leaving and the knights are free but King Arthur says he must stay and fight. None of the knights stay but when they see the heroism of Arthur on his own they race to back up.Then the first Saxon army attack behind the castle gates therefore the Saxon leader cant see who is winning and only a few of his army come out and they believe there was only six knights however the Woads have joined and they all worked together and Arthur was there leader. The final Saxon army attacked and lost to King Arthur in a great battle and casualties were lost such as Bors and Lancelot which who were two of Arthurs Samaritan knights. Also the narrator was Lancelot so we notice it is told by a character that later dies this is a technique to have a greater bend of understanding the times of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.The battle ends and Arthur wins and they bury the dead and Lancelots request to be cremated takes place. The film ends as Guinevere and Arthur get married and Britain is in safe hands.My opinions of the movie are that it is a just excite film. The film is entertaining and the storyline haves the audience in suspense. some other good opinion of the film is that the historical context makes the audience want to see the film because they want to know more about Roman British Empire so they are more likely to see the film. unrivalled part I like is where at the start the knights defeat the Woads even though there are only a few knights. I like this part because it makes the knights look strong and therefore impresses me as the audience. Another part I liked is when Daganot takes his axe and destroys the ice so that the Saxons cant cross the line. However I found this sad because Daganot gets killed in this part of the film. Another action packed part is the last scene where there is a big battle. This scene is action packed and therefore entertaining in the film. Compared to films like Gladiator this film is better because it gives a more historical outlook on the film. Therefore I bring forward it is more successful and more entertaining.I find in the film that when the character of Lancelot died it was disappointing because historians know that he was a great warrior therefore the way he died was unexpected and I believe it was better to keep him alive. Therefore if I was directing the film I would have not killed off Lancelot however I like the way that the character of Daganot was killed because he was made to look like a hero. The character I am critical of is Guinevere because in the story of King Arthur she was suppos ed to be a high class lady from a good family however in this story she is presented as Woad like a rebel whom I think is unrealistic and completely changes the character. Therefore I dislike the character.The parts which are successful are the opening scene where the few knights fight many Woads. This is successful because it sets the tone of the film and lets the audience know how skilled the knights are and how they grew up to become knights. Another part which is successful is where Daganot smashes open the door with an axe. This is successful because it allows the audience to see how strong the knights are again and also get the audience more involved to see what is inside because the break down of the door is like footsteps of a massive army because the audience wants to see what will happen next. Therefore in both ways it is successful.In conclusion I suggest the film and would give it 8 out of 10. The reasons for this are because it is a successful film in the way it attra cts and entertains the audience such as the start where the knights fight many Woads. It is an evoke film where there is a great historical context such as the history and leadership of King Arthur himself and Roman Britain. The reason I would only give the film an 8 out of 10 is because there were parts I disliked such as that Lancelot got killed and that Guinevere was made to look different then the real story. Therefore in conclusion I would give the film an 8 out of 10 and recommend it to people as a good film because it has many good features and covers the historical part of King Arthur as well as the entertaining action packed fighting in the film therefore I recommend it.
