retro version of The Magnificent Seven
King Arthur is a film about the Arthurian legends, more or less. The film wants to return to the historical origins of the legends, and then describes Arthur as a Roman-style leader, the son of a Celt and a Roman, who lives in Britain at the time of the Saxon invasion and the withdrawal of troops of the Roman Empire.
Arthur is the head of a group of riders who are virtually slaves, and they have to do 15 years of military service in Rome before being released. The film opens with Arthur and his knights six (a massacre! There are only six) who return to the camp where the bishop Germanus is ready to set them free. But the bishop
deceives! Before being freed to make one last mission: to save a Bamboccio north of Hadrian's Wall, dangerous territory. Arthur and others, reluctantly, come to save the Bamboccio. And are
Geneva warrior princess, one of the people of the Celts (Picts probably?) That seems to be attracted by Arthur that Lancelot. Finally
the Saxons (the hordes of Saxons) are defeated by Arthur and his knights together at Celtic tribes in Geneva.
The Fellowship of chickens
Although The film has some beautiful scenery and wonderful costumes, there's something I'm not convinced. The Magnificent Seven are just, in fact, seven. YET they can do amazing adventures.
The creators of the film, however, have attempted to comply with the 'characters', say', the Knights used. Arthur is an idealistic dictator with delusions of grandeur, Lancelot is the best friend sneaky like a snake, what good is Galahad, Gawain is .. not clear what Gawain, Dagonet is the silent warrior. And then there are Bors, and Tristan, Bors the typical cliché of the gentle giant and a samurai Tristan (no, not joking).
In addition, some of them have magical powers. For example, Tristan talks to the hawks and not only that, her beloved hawk does not have a cap because it is without fear. It 'a real daredevil!
But then what you care about? To be free? If so hate the Roman Empire because they do not go and that's it? I do not think that the hordes of barbarians on the right and left and the lack of internet, these magnificent seven were afraid of not being able to cross the Roman Empire.
As the Roman empire was organized.
short, illegal immigrants pass daily from Mexico and America Paute and seven chickens had to go through the Roman Empire now smashed because they were afraid of the Romans?
Let me also repeat the main question: how to defeat a horde Saxon SEVEN cowboy?!
The best will be the first to dig the grave
The best always die. Dagonet, giant version of the second, more educated, is one of the first to die heroically with great sadness of the poor Lucan, Dagonet child saved from slavery. Even the samurai
Tristan and Lancelot die.
And most importantly, the young man died a traitor of the Romans / by British blue-gray eyes. He was a cool movie. He died in an absurd way.
In general, the film moves too quickly. Geneva, warrior princess, is the eternal undecided between Lancelot and Arthur and two of them falls in love with lightning speed. The Saxons are defeated as they were to be crushed daisies, travel miles and miles are summarized in a few seconds. The battles are long and, in my view, unnecessarily cruel.
The events follow each other without really bring the viewer into the screen. I, at least, I felt the story and not just the externalized tifavo even to Arthur.
But I appreciated the Saxon leader. He was a man of honor. And the horses. Beautiful horses. To close on
! The film is full of anachronisms and inaccuracies : D but the best is this: Resuscitating the traitor cool! In fact, in the end, it is the marriage of Arthur and Geneva !
