Arthfael & Myrrdin
The best King Arthur film – ever – played with all the necessary conviction.
A quest for each man to achieve his identity and the purpose for which he possesses an aptitude – against the delusion that one can only achieve when one is ready to do so (or in comparison to others), since one can never actually know when one is ready until one actually tries. After all, a willingness to try and do what one cannot yet do is the only way to learn how to eventually do it.
All it lacks is a compelling exploration of the political conflict between the old, pagan gods and the then‑new Christian one, which this movie implies is central to any abstract understanding of the culture depicted – as well as the non‑material reasons one might have for defending such a culture.
