 First Knight
comment
A 1995 film that reinterprets the Arthurian Legend, written by William Nicholson and directed by Jerry Zucker. The music score is by Jerry Goldsmith.King Arthur (Sean Connery) has spent his entire life bringing justice to the land and wants more than anything else to marry Guinevere and enjoy a peaceful retirement. Despite genuinely caring for him, Guinevere (Julia Ormond) feels it to be her duty to marry him, and it's clear that she has a problem with letting obligation make her decisions for her, instead of her heart. Lancelot (Richard Gere) is a wandering swordsman, making as few ties as possible because his family and village were destroyed in the wars.When these three collide, will they save Camelot from its latest threat or doom it?

Limited Advancement Opportunities: Apparently the Round Table doesn't promote from within; Lancelot gets the top spot for no other reason than it's the only opening they have for a new knight, despite the others having served for decades.

Age Lift: King Arthur is a lot older than Guinevere and Lancelot when they are all usually portrayed as around the same age. There's a Kay in the cast but he's evidently much younger than Arthur, who's traditionally his younger foster-brother.

Heroic BSoD: Arthur after walking in on Lancelot and Guinevere kissing, which gets kicked up to eleven when he forces her to admit that she loves him. See My God, What Have I Done?, about the moment Arthur becomes aware he made a mistake to try Guinevere and Lancelot publicly. Even if it is only for a few seconds, he seems quite lost.

Adaptational Villainy: Coupled with Adaptational Badass. Malagant's basis in the legends was a nuisance at best known for kidnapping Guinevere and getting his ass kicked in return, not the former greatest and "first knight" of Camelot and an outright challenger for Arthur's throne.

Adaptational Mundanity: The film does away with the magical elements of the Arthurian mythos (e.g., Morgan Le Fay, Merlin, Lady of the Lake), but only fantastical place names like Camelot or Leonesse are ever mentioned, not real-world places like Britain, and it's still an obvious medieval fantasy compared to the likes of its contemporary Middle Ages movie Braveheart or the later King Arthur, which (on paper, at least) had the premise of being set in a real historical era in the real world.

Adaptational Protagonist
 First Knight / int_3ab3dbb
comment
Adaptational Protagonist: The titular "first knight" is Lancelot (played by Richard Gere). The film establishes Camelot as a medieval kingdom ruled by a fair King Arthur. The story, however, focus on the infamous Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot love triangle, by placing Lancelot on the spotlight. The film is his journey, and, at the ending, a dying Arthur passes on the crown and the kingdom to him, and allows Guinevere to be with him. In the original Arthuriana, Lancelot is a character inserted into the Arthurian mythos by the French wing of medieval authors.

Character Development
 First Knight / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Lancelot goes from being a devil-may-care drifter to someone willing to give up the woman he loves rather than destroy her marriage in order to have her, then willing to give his life for her several times (rescuing her from kidnappers, taking the full blame for their betrayal of Arthur). Towards the end, after a major battle, he decides to leave Camelot because he finally understands what it means and does not wish to destroy it by continuing to pursue Arthur's wife. Additionally, his insistence on taking the blame and willingness to sacrifice himself for Guinevere's sake demonstrates to Arthur how much he genuinely loves and respects all three, despite his previous actions.

Pun-Based Title
 First Knight / int_3eb0f889
comment
Pun-Based Title: In-universe, "First Knight" seems to be at least a title of honor if not also status or rank within the Round Table, but it also calls to mind the couples' euphemism "first night", especially due to the romance emphasis. But ironically the Lancelot/Guinevere affair here never escalates to sex, only up to kissing.

Honor Before Reason: After catching Lancelot and Guinevere in an embrace, Arthur bluntly declares, "As a man, I may forgive. As a king. . .", then declares that the two will be tried for treason, in public, lest the people think that he is showing favoritism or leniency that he would never have extended to anyone else, though one can't help but wonder if he also wants to publicly humiliate them for their betrayal.

Age-Gap Romance
 First Knight / int_52196c03
comment
Age-Gap Romance: King Arthur is visibly older than Guinevere, old enough to look like her father, and was indeed a friend of her late father. In real life, Sean Connery (Arthur) was 35 years older than Julia Ormond (Guinevere). Richard Gere (Lancelot) is 15 years older than Julia Ormond (Guinevere) in real life, but it's downplayed in the movie since it treats their characters as being around the same age, and Lancelot's still much younger than Arthur (Gere is 19 years younger than Connery).

comment
Arrows on Fire: King Arthur's troops make use of these. Interestingly, the arrows appeared to use something like magnesium as the flammable agent, which, at least, looked cool. Unlike many examples it's fully justified as part of a trap, having previously baited the enemy into a very dry field of grass. Definitely magnesium as I was an extra in that scene. They were linked with fishing wire which was set off simultaneously. No in universe explanation was given for this.

The moment she gives in to give him a passionate goodbye kiss, assuming that she'll never see him again, Arthur walks in on them and everything falls apart—they're arrested and tried for treason, Malagant stages an invasion, and Arthur is killed.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Arthur offers to release Guinevere from their engagement, telling her that he will protect her kingdom regardless. She refuses and reaffirms her love for him. Later, Lancelot decides to stop pursuing Guinevere and leave Camelot so as not to undermine it or her marriage.

We Have Reserves: Malagant sacrifices a wave of soldiers just so Guinevere's guards are out of position when the second wave hits. Sir Agravaine is shocked and disturbed by the fact the second wave could just stand there and watch them die. And when Malagant's army is defeated by King Arthur's forces in a setpiece battle, he still has more than enough men to take Camelot itself with even the civilian population being nearly equaled in number.

Meaningful Echo: Lancelot kisses Guinevere after rescuing her and swears that before she's married, she'll ask him to kiss her again. She doesn't before her wedding, but as he prepares to leave Camelot, states, "I'm asking you", essentially telling him that she returns his feelings. The scar on Arthur's hand. As he and Guinevere discuss the injury (a hunting accident), it becomes obvious that this is the moment they fell in love. At his funeral, just before his body is set adrift, she kisses it, bidding him farewell. In that same scene, Arthur talks about feeling "the sunlight across his face", representing true love. Just before he dies, he tells her that he feels it, letting her know that he forgives her and believes that she does love him.

Meaningful Name: The villain is named Prince Malagant. It's hard not to notice how similar that is to the word "malignant". Although to be fair, "Maleagant" has appeared in Arthurian legend since the late 12th century (and even earlier as "Melwas").

Nominal Importance: Tying into the above, besides Lancelot and Malagant, Agravaine is the one in charge of escorting Guinevere until she's kidnapped, and Mador is one of the more older-looking knights with the most vocal misgivings about Lancelot being knighted, speaking for the rest (though the one who also speaks for the rest in showing Lancelot respect after he shows his mettle in battle is unnamed; Patrise going by the actor and credits). Mador is also the only Round Table knight who seems to die onscreen during the final battle.

Spared by the Adaptation
 First Knight / int_7453bc5b
comment
Spared by the Adaptation: Although in this film King Arthur dies even earlier than in the original stories, Lancelot eventually remains alive and gets his happy ending with Guinevere instead of them becoming a monk or nun in repentance and dying sooner or later after Arthur's death or disappearance. Agravaine lives throughout instead of dying as a direct result of exposing Lancelot and Guinevere's affair (killed by Lancelot himself) and Arthur himself, on his own, discovers the two kissing anyway. Camelot itself could count. In many versions of the Arthurian legend, the kingdom falls into ruins as result of the affair. This film implies that Camelot will continue to thrive under Guinevere and Lancelot's rule.

Nice to the Waiter: At the beginning of the film, as Guinevere greets the villagers routed from their homes during an attack, she refuses their attempt at kneeling to her in deference, citing the terrible ordeal they've been through. Later, during the first attempt at kidnapping her, she urges her maids to leave her behind, knowing that it's her the attackers want and not wanting to place them in danger. When she's rescued, her first query is as to their safety.

Demythification: While it's still very much a medieval-style fantasy and no real-world places are ever mentioned, there is no Merlin, Morgan le Fay or any other magic elements from the legends. Arthur's sword, while shiny, is not said to be "Excalibur". There's one particular sequence that can be viewed as the power of "Excalibur" kicking in, but equally if not more so as Chekhov's Skill. And at the end, Arthur is laid on a boat, but he's not taken to Avalon to be healed, and instead it's his funeral ship which is set adrift and then on fire akin to a Viking Funeral.

Standard Hero Reward: The end has the mortally wounded King Arthur hand over the royal sword and rulership of Camelot to Sir Lancelot who, before then, was a roving entertainer who fought people in town squares for money (Truth in Television by the way; in the Middle Ages entertainer was considered one of the lowest professions, no better than prostitutes or beggars). Earlier on, Arthur had knighted Lancelot for rescuing Guinevere over Lancelot's (and the Round Table Knights') protestations. So he gives his Kingdom and Queen (and his soon-to-be widow) over to somebody who he barely knows, whom he'd raised from Rags to Riches singlehandedly, and who had fallen in love with his wife, all in a span of weeks at most.

Novelization: By Historical Fiction author Elizabeth Chadwick. It adds or makes explicit a few nuances that were implicit at best in the movie, like Arthur fully expecting he'll be killed even if he does Kneel Before Zod, so he pulls an I Surrender, Suckers ploy to inspire Camelot to fight on, even if he dies.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: King Arthur's sword, which is never explicitly said to be Excalibur. During the battle at the climax Lancelot and Malagant are clearly on par, which is justified being Malagant the former Arthur's First Knight; Malagant manages to gain the upper hand, even; he has disarmed Lancelot and is about to kill him, when Lancelot sees Arthur's sword, which shines suspiciously; Lancelot grabs the sword and manages to easily overcome Malagant with a Blade Spam (which, on the other hand, was a technique Lancelot used before), killing an astonished Malagant. Did the sword play a part on it? Was it magical? We will never know.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Arthur insists on trying Guinevere and Lancelot in public and inviting the entire city, leaving himself vulnerable to Malagant's invasion. On the other hand, Malagant relishes the chance to humiliate Arthur in front of the entire kingdom, only to have to contend with the infuriated populace when Arthur rallies them to fight back. Ralf, Malagant's main henchman, is stabbed to death with his own sword during the Final Battle after he's mobbed by the enraged citizens.

comment
Hypocrite: Downplayed. Arthur says that the Round Table has no head nor foot, but he takes action against the advice of the knights because, well, he is the king. He makes Lancelot a knight, and later he has Lancelot and Guinevere face a public trial. Both actions end up working against him, becoming Laser-Guided Karma.

Unusual Euphemism
 First Knight / int_d848560f
comment
Unusual Euphemism: Arthur asks Guinevere "Have you... given yourself to him?" regarding Lancelot. This was probably the term used in those days, but the long pause makes it seem as though he's using the words to substitute for something else.

Death Course
 First Knight / int_e53a34aa
comment
Death Course: Lancelot runs through a gauntlet (without the provided protective gear) to win a kiss from Guinevere. In fact he probably beat it because of the lack of gear; it's incredibly bulky and limits mobility.

Dark Reprise: Arthur leads a prayer before inviting Malagant in to negotiate peace. Arthur says the same prayer after Guineve and Lancelot's affair is revealed. He is more stern as he recites it.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: What gets up Malagant's nose the most is what he sees as Arthur's pretentions to be The Good King. To him Arthur is just another warlord who takes what he wants by the sword.

Adaptational Nationality
 First Knight / int_ff6d8ad9
comment
Adaptational Nationality: Guinevere is the ruling Lady of Leonesse after her father's death, presumably the Lord. Added Alliterative Appeal aside, in the legends "Lyonesse" is better associated with Sir Tristan who doesn't appear in the movie, and Guinevere's realm is sometimes said to be "Cameliarde".
