The Roman Empire is stretched across many nations, including Britain. In their conquest for more land, the Romans went into Sarmatia where they fought the very brave Sarmatian cavalery. The Romans, impressed by the Sarmatian's weaponry and fighting skills, included them into their army as knights. After 15 years of serving and fighting for the Roman Empire the Sarmatian Knights, lead by Arthur/Artorious Castus, are about to receive their freedom as the Romans are leaving Britain. But the Knights must carry out one final order before they are free. A Roman priest and his family, especially his son Alecto, must be rescued from the invading Saxons. But there is another danger lurking on the road to freedom - the Woads, British rebels who hate the Romans.
Although the legend of King Arthur has not been historically established as fact, this film will attempt to place King Arthur within his possible historic context, smack between the fall of the Roman Empire (just a few hundred years after Gladiator) and the long road through the Dark Ages (roughly set in the 5th or 6th centuries). The magic and fantasy of the legend will be absent (Merlin may still be around; just not performing the magic seen in Excalibur).
Arthur, you fight for a world that will never exist. King Arthur is directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by David Franzoni. It stars Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffudd, Mads Mikkelsen, Ray Winstone, Joel Edgerton, Stephen Dillane, Hugh Dancy, Ken Stott, Stellan Skarsgård and Til Schweiger. Music is scored by Hans Zimmer and cinematography by Slawomir Idziak. The Roman Empire is departing Britannia, and local commander Artorius Castus (Owen), is given one final mission to rescue an important Roman family from the invading Saxon hordes. Calling on the support of his trusty Knights, Arthur leads his men on a mission that will define them all. Save your prayers boy, your god doesn't live here. The flaws of director Antoine Fuqua's Arthurian epic have been well documented, as has the tinkering of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the latter of which took his lusty scissors to the original cut of the film and created a rather choppy experience for a film already on rocky waters. Yet in spite of the uneven narrative, the unsound historical spin on the Arthurian legend, and the gross miscasting of Clive Owen in the lead, the film still went on to make roughly $80 million in profit from the worldwide box office. The director's cut of the film, whilst not altering the strength of the movie in the way that the D/C of Kingdom of Heaven does, has a more comprehensive flow to it, more blood and boldness and yes, it's more fun. The Knights are demons. That is the gate of hell! The film is undeniably epic in scope and production, the lush photography of expansive lands, the set design and costuming (including the wonderfully attired horses in the final battle at Badon Hill), Zimmer's gladiatorial score and the ensemble of actors gathered. Action quota is high and energised, well choreographed and in the case of the battle of Badon Hill, extended into a good portion of the running time to really crown the story. How nice to see sensible military tactics used, it may not be genius to note Arthur telling his small band of troops to "aim for the wings of their ranks, make them cluster" (this during a brilliant fight against the Saxons on a frozen lake), but there's a common sense logic here that is often missing in similar big budgeted historical epics. Artorius! Rus! Most agreeable is the story itself. It focuses on the decline of the Roman Empire, the withdrawal from Britain, the impact of berserker religion at this time, the Saxons and the Woads (Picts/Celts). In the middle of all this world changing anger is Arthur's inner turmoil, his battle with faith as he leads his loyal knights out of the promised freedom into yet more bloody chaos. The arrival on the scene of Guinevere (Knightley), here as a Woad warrior, in the second half of the picture clouds things still further, the possible love triangle between herself, Arthur and Lancelot is only hinted at, and the story is more intriguing because of it. In fact Fuqua proves most adept at characterisations, even if sadly he can't get the best performances from some of the big players. We will go home across the mountains. With Owen looking the part but too bland in delivery to make this Arthur convince, it needs the other big players to step up to not let the lead performance hurt the piece too much. Yet the best performances are coming from the supporting players like Edgerton, Mikkelsen, Stevenson and Dancy, but like Gruffudd (the one who truly looks and sounds the part), they are all underused. Skarsgård is ace, making Saxon leader Cerdic a fearless, emotionless and formidable foe, and Schweiger as his son Cynric also leaves a telling mark, but these too are also underused. Further viewings of the directors cut do show Knightley's performance in a better light, Guinevere dominates the narrative in the second half and Knightley is full of guts and lively in her action scenes, but the voice just irritates and someone in production should have picked up on that. Winstone gives a fun turn, certainly it's not in keeping with the surroundings, mind, as you half expect him to don his West Ham United scarf and start shouting ICF! But it is fun and becomes tolerable the longer the film runs. It's a flawed epic for sure, but one that still remains a great piece of historical filmic fun. Often rousing and blood stirring, even emotionally satisfying too. That is if you can forgive it for its failings? 7/10
Best paper is made out of trees. Once it's used and discarded, it gets recycled into a lower grade paper. Repeated recyclings result in a product just good enough to wipe your behind with. It's the same thing with the Hollywood screenplays. The best stories come directly from nature. Eventually they get recycled and regurgitated into a pulp that always tastes the same and has no quality other than being the toilet fodder. Once in a while somebody somewhere in Hollywood reads an article or two about something in newspapers and jumps to use it as a new flavor to spice the old swill up a little. That's how films seem to be made these days. That brings us to "King Arthur". One scientific novelty emerged in the 2000s concerning the legendary first king of England: that he may have been of Roman origin, as some new archaeological findings suggested. To some the news that sparks imagination and sheds light on that largely undocumented period of history, to others a valuable political link between the Roman Empire and the British Empire, it's something that definitely deserves to be put on screen. Unfortunately, there's that guy called Jerry Bruckheimer, that sells swill for a living, who woke up one morning and realized he needs a sword-and-sandal film in his portfolio. He hired the usual goons that approached the subject hastily and, instead of doing a proper research around the new take on Arthur, they just patched up all the gaps (and there were a lot) with the usual clichés, especially of sword-and-sandal genre, slapped on the label "historically accurate" and shipped it off to theaters hoping the label alone will sell it. The tagline lied - this is by no means a historically accurate representation, even if Arthur indeed happened to be a Roman named Lucius Artorius Castus. Coming from David Franzoni, who wrote "Gladiator", that's hardly a surprise, though. Again, huge liberties, if we can call them that, have been taken to serve a simplistic story, based on some strange conception that people the legends were made around were already acting and talking like legends during their actual lifetime. The battle scenes are the most obvious sign of that misguided approach. Artorius and his horsemen are too tiny a bunch to convince they'd have a meaningful impact on a battlefield other than in commanding roles. Their special skills and ability to single-handedly defeat multitudes of enemies is not what you'd see in a real battle, but rather something that would emerge in retellings afterwards, yet that's precisely what we see them do: fighting in a more "legendary" manner than their namesakes in "Excalibur". The dialog follows the same lines, but heart is confused with pathos. Artorius is stilted and artificial as if he came straight off the stage and every word he utters bears weight, meaning and poignancy, and is not necessarily in tune with what happens around him. His Sarmatian horsemen are one-note sketches, less a bonafide historical figures and more a bunch of a comic book super heroes. One has a trained hawk, one can shoot a nut off a mosquito with an arrow, one wields two swords at once, one cracks jokes... they're about as historical as Ninja Turtles. Geography grasp of the script is terrible and is a cause of crucial plot holes. The knights guard the Hadrian Wall, at the time the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire, yet they have to be informed by their superiors from the south that there is an invasion coming from the north. Wouldn't Artorius' men be the first to know? The nobleman they are ordered to collect lives with his entire entourage deep into the wrong side of the Wall, in an undefended territory, what no aristocrat, especially an important one, would ever do. On top of that it's him that shares the latest news from Rome with Artorius instead the other way round. How come the crucial communication is bypassing the keepers of the frontier all the time? Timeline is off, too, and concerns mostly queen Guinevere. The box-office nowadays calls for a strong female character, so it had to be a "warrior queen", not just an ordinary one. Ancient Britain does remember one queen Boudicca, a strong female military commander the new Guinevere was likely modeled after. It's just that she lived four hundred years too early for this and deserves a film of her own. No place for her here. They squeezed Merlin into the story somehow, too, but who cares. There is a dark tone to the film, which is fitting, and there is the anti-church sentiment that is about the only thing I genuinely liked. What the film is missing is a lot. There is no ambition other than the cash grab. There is no heart. There is no connection between the warriors and the commoners who would supposedly be so enamored with Artorius to pass the legend on. There is no Uther, no Morgana and no Mordred, which is a shame because the main villain could have at least come away with a better name than "Cerdic". There isn't a single rape scene, either, and that's both historically inaccurate and a bit ironic: as film that successfully rapes both the history and the legend could use a good rape scene or two.
Luckily there is an element of broad, brawny camp that prevents King Arthur from being a complete drag.
here</a>] Screenwriter David Franzoni has confirmed this interpretation, stating, I understand Rome's posturing when it became the ultimate military state. It comes from fear. And America is perhaps going through a lot of that right now, so it's not unfair to read into it that it could be about Iraq. But I began writing the movie before we went into Iraq. The GI connection is what is important for me. Like the Sarmatian knights, if you're a GI you're surrounded by people who hate you; you hate what you're doing, but you have to do it; and you're living for the day you get out. I see Arthur as being like someone drafted to Vietnam, who goes there full of ideas and gung ho, then gets it all shot away and comes down to himself. And that used to be an American hero, but we've become so cowboyed and numbed, we've lost track of who we once were. a5c7b9f00b
