King Arthur (DVD, 2004, Extended Unrated Version)

Antoine Fuqua, Clive Owen, Stellan Skarsgaard|Theatrical release: 2004 | Rating: Unrated

Movie synopsis

Combining the historical appeal and epic sequences of films like GLADIATOR and BRAVEHEART, director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer provide a sleek twist on the King Arthur legend. Arthur (Clive Owen), a brave Roman/British Christian warrior who leads his band of pagan knights on missions for the Empire, must complete one final mission before the knights can earn their freedom from servitude and Arthur can return to Rome. Along the way, however, Arthur realizes that the pullout of the Romans will open the door for a crushing invasion of Britain by the Saxons, and he takes it upon himself to fight with Merlin (Stephen Dillane) and Guinevere (Keira Knightley) for the freedom of the British people.Stunning battle scenes with extensive attention to historical detail rely very little on computer graphics and instead use intricately realistic props, costumes, and scenery. Featuring the largest film set ever built in Ireland, KING ARTHUR features a scale replica of Hadrian's Wall and two complete villages. Haunting music by composer Hans Zimmer completes this story of unselfish heroism, which ultimately provides a satisfying completion to the legend of Arthur and his knights.

King Arthur 04 (TheDirector's Cut) A Page Of His Dues

Created: 20/12/05
Directors commentary holds keys to "The Story" and the "Origin of the Legend"
MY First wonder, what will we see, King Arthur as #1a Missionary or #2- Mercenary?= a1.2
Arthur shares his nobility with unique constituencies in compassion to the proletariat; seemingly a special person on a mission from Rome.
I found that Arthur's troubles maybe complex but he makes his decisions as we ride along. He worships alone yet if we want we can follow, to paint a scene from my memory (maybe not from the script) where a knight follows to question both his discern and to ask why Arthur always has to go pray or something, instead of directly discussing things with him, or with any of the other Russian knights.
I think ths Arthurs best line is to the peasants and their guards as Arthur steps up his commanding pace finds orders contradicting his leadership, he tells to all "Understand this!; You were free from the day you were born".
Now The details of this film with a little more for your synopsis need I will add ; first though the details of the DVD: King Arthur The Director's Cut
DVD : 141 Minutes
The Roundtable Discussion 15 min. gathers together seven of the principle filmmakers: screenwriter David Franzoni, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Antoine Fuqua, and cast members Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffudd, Clive Owen, Hugh Dancy.
"Blood on the Land: The Making of a King" (17:05)
Also there are two endings!
[1st NOTE TO THE MERIT OF THE VIEWER'S ]
The constituent by ingredient is the legend, then with the facts added to levin this story into life.
So can we simply abandon the legend?
No!So there are going to be conflicts.
Remember this for the entertainment value!
Was it intuition or acting in the days of silent film?
I think if we have a Real True King Arthur here, and even if we have the best acting performances here, we must also rely on more.
A little dry or testy for a full length film?
Do I have some psycobiographical unfamiliarity with U.K. films?
I don't know!
Is it over dramatic?
No!
[Subtle Synopsis]
From The Introduction we are informed,"There is a legend that the spirit of a fallen knight will return to a horse in a time of battle; And a knight knows that the horse will protect him""(they are trained well), and this horse will know well the call of the battle. You will see this if you pay close attention near the end.
All the Kings Men will ride together again.
The plot detail built around the rescue mission.
and I will add that the Saxons are invading as Arthur's return is to be in Rome.
In Arthur's final battle he has joined forces with his former resisting force, a "Woad" band who some sources say as another name for "Picts"; to battle the immediate common enemy.
My (Self Help Table)
Since we do have do deal with a manufactured element to the true information of myth and of legend, the following quote I've found to be good medicine~!~
A note of an auther Joseph Campbell's, "The real King Arthur might have been but the heroic mythical journey of the literary Arthur still has great relevance today".
Campbell's contributions to the study of both myth and the legend of King Arthur hold a direct part of influence to bringing these characters into life.
1 Truth; Campbell says "The literary Arthurs have great relevance to today's truths."This is just one Arthur,and a movie about his life in one small episode.
Grasping "Truth or Legend" out of.., A STORY, thats the real truth!

This movie is a great period piece. From Jerry Bruckheimer(CSI series) as producer and director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) this moive has it all. Action, sword fights, and even a love story. The cast is great.Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffudd(Mr. Fantasic). The story is about Aurthur and his Knights of the Round Table fighting for their freedom and loved ones. The DVD extras are also great. If you like stories about knights and alot of action don't miss out on this one. Ow en ,0 o

King Arthur another look at history

Created: 12/02/07
Experience the extended unrated directors cut of this hard-hitting action epic! Prepare for more thrills, more adventure and more intensity, as the heroic true story behind one of history's greatest legends explodes onto the screen! It is the valiant tale of Arthur (Clive Owen) and his bond of brotherhood with Lancelot (Ioan Gruffudd), and the loyalty of the Knights of the Round Table as they fight for freedome and those they love. Also starring Keira Knightley (shes hot!) as Guinevere, this never -before seen King Arthur is a longer, grittier and more explicit motion picture -----Dont miss it!!!!

Perhaps one of my most Favored Movies, I hate to let it go.... Awesome Edition for Collectors.... A bit dramatic, but who watches history channel shows 24/7
