Excalibur	comment	Excalibur is a 1981 Heroic Fantasy film directed by John Boorman. An epic retelling of the Arthurian Legend, it is notable at least for two aspects: It covers a rather long span of time (60 years, at the very least) and thus, as Boorman put it, focuses on the story rather than on the characters. It can therefore be roughly divided into five partially overlapping parts: the first part follows Uther Pendragon, the second follows Arthur, the third follows Lancelot, the fourth follows Perceval, and the last goes back to Arthur. The source material (Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur is credited, but many other sources are drawn upon) is treated in a very syncretist kind of way, merging many characters, events and elements. This arguably allows the movie to display many more Arthurian motifs than would have been possible to show in a two-hour movie that stayed truer to the text of a particular author or retelling, all while cleverly avoiding the Compressed Adaptation effect.Being largely based on the Arthurian chivalric romances, the film has major elements of later Romanticism; it understandably and unashamedly yearns for the nobility and virtue of Arthur's court, and explicitly states that Arthur serves as an example from the past to future memory; though it leaves open the chance that one day humanity may once again return to Camelot's height.The All-Star Cast includes Nigel Terry as Arthur, Helen Mirren as Morgana, Nicholas Clay as Lancelot, Cherie Lunghi as Guenevere, Paul Geoffrey as Perceval, Nicol Williamson as Merlin, Corin Redgrave as Gorlois, Patrick Stewart as Leodegrance, Keith Buckley as Uryens, Liam Neeson as Gawain, and Gabriel Byrne as Uther Pendragon.

Arthur loses to Lancelot, then cheats by using Excalibur's power to knock Lancelot silly. Lancelot doesn't realize what happened when he wakes up and agrees to join Arthur. Things don't turn out so great in the end... The first knight Arthur bests in battle â€” Sir Uryens, who knights him â€” winds up being Arthur's lifelong ally, and one of the first to obey Arthur's order to find the Holy Grail. He ultimately dies on the quest to find it.

Excalibur / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Early in the film, Arthur has pulled the sword from the stone, and while some are willing to follow him, others are not. He joins the fight against one of the holdouts, and has the man at swordpoint, but he refuses to yield to a man who is not a knight. Arthur says he's right, and then pulls off an incredibly dangerous move; he gives Excalibur to his enemy so he can be knighted, simultaneously acknowledging the necessity of being a knight, while also showing everyone present that he is willing to put his trust in his own enemy's hands. Sir Uryens can't simply kill him, as it would be dishonorable, and he also recognizes the truth of what Arthur is doing (being a Magnetic Hero helps, as Merlin himself seems aware that something magical is happening). Merlin tricks Morgana into using the Charm of Making to drive him away which depletes her magical power and strips her of her youthful beauty and produces an eerie fog over the land out of the breath of the dragon. When Mordred comes to investigate, he kills Morgana and the fog assists the small number of Arthur's army against Mordred's larger force.

Merlin uses it with care; the act of summoning the Dragon's Breath for one night (so Uther could ravish Igrayne) demanded nine months' recovery for the wizard. Merlin uses this to his advantage later, after breaking out of Morgana's prison, he visits her in a dream and tricks her into summoning the Dragon's Breath in sleep. Not only does this cover the land in fog, but it drains Morgana's life force until she's a hideous old crone, unrecognizable and babbling.

King Arthur/the Fisher King. Morgana/Morgause/Nimue. Lancelot and Guinevere/Tristram and Isolde. Arthur's first meeting with Lancelot is based on his meeting with King Pellinore in Le Morte D Arthur.

Excalibur / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: During his fight with Lancelot a frustrated Arthur literally breaks the unbreakable sword by using its power to defeat Lancelot, who up to that point had been dominating the fight, shattering it as he cuts through Lancelot's sword and then slams it right into his armor, knocking him down and almost killing him in the process. Fortunately when Arthur admits out loud that he let the sin of Pride get the better of him the Lady of the Lake comes along, fixes Excalibur and gives it back to him, upon which Arthur silently vows never to abuse the sword's power again and then hires Lancelot to be his right hand man. Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere end up doing a lot of things that lead to Camelot's destruction. When Guinevere is accused of adultery with Lancelot (at that point she was faithful, in body if not mind), Arthur puts her on trial to demonstrate that no one in the land is above the law. Guinevere, upset at Arthur's willingness to put his duty as a king above his love for her, is humiliated in front of the entire court when no one (sans Perceval) will fight for her honour, and then watches as Lancelot comes to her rescue and is badly injured in her defense. Naturally, the whole thing results in nothing but Guinevere falling (more) in love with Lancelot and deciding to consummate her relationship with him. Arthur's sense of duty might have been unimpeachable, but it would have saved them all a lot of hardship if he'd just stood up for his wife in the first place. That's not even mentioning the fact that up until this point, Lancelot wasn't even in the kingdom. He had been deliberately avoiding Camelot in the hopes of staying away from Guinevere. Naturally Arthur's trial of Guinevere brings him racing straight back again. And then Guinevere and Lancelot fool around in the woods, leaving Arthur heartbroken by their betrayal. Devastated but unwilling to kill his wife and best friend, he slams Excalibur into the ground between them (royally screwing over Merlin in the process, as he was tapping into the land's power to defeat Morgana) so that when they wake up in the morning they both know they've just royally screwed up the kingdom. Lancelot in particular is very ashamed of himself for betraying Arthur's trust, as seen by the fact that he did not take care of himself as the years went by.

Excalibur / int_863fa679	type	What Happened to the Mouse?
Excalibur / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: A consequence of having too many characters in a two-hours movie. Igrayne is a notable example of this, since you could at least assume that many of the knights that go missing were slain in battle. The last we see of Igrayne however, is her screaming: "I want my baby!" and urging Uther to go after Merlin (though she disappears at that point in the legends too). A very unfortunate example is Arthur's adopted brother Sir Kay, who despite remaining steadfastly loyal disappears in the final battle. The last we see is him fighting back to back with Arthur and Perceval; then Lancelot appears and Kay disappears. It's jarring as Kay was clearly steadfast in loyalty and love for Arthur throughout the film, and all of a sudden he's gone without comment (of course he died, but he doesn't get a death scene of his own like others do). This is in keeping with both Le Morte D Arthur and The Once and Future King, where he appears as a major character early on and then just kinda ... goes away, although Kay is in general a steadfast and decent fellow in this film, rather than the boorish jerk he is in other sources. He does get a "pre-death scene": a conversation with Arthur in which he reveals that Merlin appears to a him in his dreams and told him he would fight valiantly for his brother, strongly implying he will die in battle. The final draft of the movie's script reveals that Kay was intended to get a horse and ride out to join Lancelot. Arthur and Perceval would have found his body, being born away by squires, just before finding the mortally wounded Lancelot. Mordred's lieutenant disappears after the beginning of the final battle, presumably killed off screen. The mentioned draft, however, had him survive all the way up to the final confrontation between Arthur and Mordred, and flee after the latter is killed.

He reaches them just as one of them asks "And who is Merlin?"; he also does onscreen teleportations.

Excalibur / int_c9715fd	type	Savage Spiked Weapons
Excalibur / int_c9715fd	comment	Savage Spiked Weapons: One of the weapons Arthur uses during his first battle with Lancelot is a spiked mace, which accentuates his insane rage during the scene (Lancelot even points out that Arthur is willing to kill a man that isn't even his enemy). Lancelot plays with this trope during the final battle where he arrives and uses a spiked club as his main weapon. While Lancelot isn't a stereotypically barbaric or lower class character, he LOOKS the part after spending years in exile, and getting a more stereotypically brutish and primitive looking weapon like a spiked club rather than a more stereotypically refined and elegant looking weapon like the sword he previously used might be a way to emphasize his fall from grace.

If you're fighting a fully-armed knight, get the better of him, and demand he swear faith to you with your sword at his neck, you generally don't ask him to knight you and hand over your Infinity +1 Sword to him when he objects to giving you his allegiance because you're a squire and thus he outranks you. On the other hand, if you're the knight in question you generally don't use said sword to knight said squire when he kneels before you to accept your knighting and then kiss his hand in fealty ... unless the squire, of course, is a Magnetic Hero.

Uther thrusts the sword into the proverbial stone before he dies of his wounds. Arthur then draws the sword from the stone years later. Later, in a duel with Lancelot, Arthur in a fit of pride uses the sword's mystic powers to change the destined outcome of the duel (Lancelot should have won). Although Arthur succeeds, Excalibur breaks from being so used. In a fit of grief, Arthur hurls the broken sword into a nearby lake â€” where the Lady of the Lake restores the weapon and hands it back to Arthur from the waters, thus fulfilling both legends.
