Excalibur Analysis

My Three Favorite Scenes

The movie Excalibur is a story about a king that is later known as the best king, but we still aren’t sure if he was a real person or just imaginary. We are taught a lot about middle english through the reading and watching of Excalibur. One main thing that we are taught through Excalibur is the code of the knights. The code of the knights was to serve and protect your king while respecting everyone. While watching this movie I learned a lot about something that I look at as pointless at the beginning of the year. Many things in this movie have made me open my eyes and see the true meaning behind somethings. I have come on some of my favorite scenes that show the strengths of many people. The scene that first caught

Arthur is tricked to sleep with his step sister and she later gave birth to a son named Mordred, who is later known as the worst villain of all times. When Mordred is born Arthur is strucken and becomes very ill. He tells his knights that they need to find the holy grail because drinking from that is the only thing that will heal him. Arthur knows that it's going to be a hard tasks and after a year the grail is still nowhere to be found. Sir Gawain one of Arthur's best knights that sits at the round table, rides for what seems like forever when coming upon Mordred. Who Gawain doesn’t know is Arthur’s son, Mordred talks him into following him through the woods where there are other Knight’s corpse hanging from trees. Gawain later come to Mordred’s mom and she uses spells to try and kill him. While Gawain is hanging slowly dying he see God and is given the holy grail. This is one of my favorite scenes because they search for a year to find something that was thought to be gone. Gawain shows his worth as a knight and doesn't give up on finding the holy grail to save his king. Even though the movie Excalibur was a good movie every person will look at it in different ways. This movie has taught me a lot about how important the knights code was to the knights that fought to protect their king. The story behind excalibur is one that is full of many different story. There are many interesting scenes in this movie but I find theses three the best scene because they tell you the biggest story. They have done a lot of research to see if there was such thing as Arthur and his great kingdom but, we still have found nothing to prove that it was
