I watched King Arthur 2004 recently and the ending to me is... Questionable. Enjoyable bad movie, but the end with Lancelot's and Tristan's funeral is killing me. Lancelot wanted a pyre.

I know some pyres can be done in pits and holes, but I don't think this one is properly done. There are very specific ways to do it. They made BARBECUE out of their friend. Not anywhere near the respectful ending he wanted. 😭

alright let’s get into it about king arthur 2004. first of all yes it was bad of course it was bad, it’s a “historical” retelling of arthurian legend and it makes arthur roman and the other knights are supposedly eastern european except that none of those men are eastern european and then also guinevere and merlin were whatever scottish people were in the 5th century but again keira knightly is not scottish. basically it’s very dense on the lore for a movie that didn’t really seem to care about accuracy to the lore. there’s like. there’s words on the screen in the beginning and then there’s also more expositional narration and then there’s also more exposition in the form of bad dialogue and genuinely it does feel like a good 40 minutes of this movie is exposition all for a nothing plot because it’s so reliant on the action scenes you kind of get nothing out of it. however EYE got something out of it because early in the movie arthur is praying that his knights make it back from their last mission so they can live to become free men, and lancelot walks in and says “why do you always talk to god and not to me?” and it made me insane for the rest of the two hour runtime. those men were gay as hell your honor. lancelot dies in the climactic battle and arthur and guinevere both kneel over his body and cry and scream it’s great. i think it was brave of them to kill lancelot before he got to steal arthur’s wife. julian murphy should’ve taken notes wtf.
also i liked that the other knights were like, fleshed out characters. maybe not gawain who didn’t talk very much or hugh dancy who i don’t remember who he was supposed to be. but like tristan was cool i liked his falcon rest in peace buddy. and the other guy with the 11 kids oh my god do i know anyone’s name from this movie. who the hell was that guy. hold on. oh ok bors. was he lancelot’s cousin in this movie i wasn’t paying attention. and hugh dancy was galahad. sorry i didn’t remember that in my defense he had like two minutes of screentime. and dagonet was cool although i think it’s wild that this movie was pulling out niche knights and not like. kay. or bedivere. sorry i’m attached to those guys because of alex that’s not my fault. anyway i liked them they were cool to hang with
ALSO i think it was surprisingly feminist for a movie that came out in 2004 about men. or maybe not feminist exactly but like. not misogynistic. there’s a moment where you think it might be with the one guy’s not-wife (she’s the mother of his 11 children but they’re not married) but it’s not misogyny they’re just toxic hets and i support them <3 and then guinevere is just such a slay but what else did you expect from keira knightly… like yeah i think it’s weird that keira was like 18 making this movie with a hoard of adult men and she’s the object of both male protagonist’s lust but at the end of the day she seems like she made it through that weird phase of her career fine so i’ll let it go for the sake of not going insane. anyway i think it was really feminist of her to want to fuck that gay man so bad. real. but no really i just liked that her character was well done and got to do things. she killed a bunch of guys it was hot what who said that i mean like it was great. and she’s the one that convinced arthur to abandon rome and fight for something he actually believed in, where rome was a lie he believed for convenience.
which brings me to my man <3 you know no critique of a king arthur movie from me is complete without me rambling for a little about how well i think they characterized my special little guy… and i think this movie did pretty good! he’s a good man who cares about people and his most defining enduring belief for the entire story is of freedom which i thought was slay even though um. he’s english. cannot imagine he’d be happy to see what his country came to yikes!! but also i think it was good to show that he also had flaws that tied directly into his strengths and his goodness. how he fought so hard for rome in the beginning because his idea of rome was this ideal society that believed in equality and freedom, and he didn’t realize that that was a fantasy because he didn’t want to realize it so he could hold on to something while he fought their wars. like i think willful ignorance is such a great king arthur flaw that not enough media wants to depict. he’s an idealist at heart and i adore him for it but it means he has a tendency to ignore reality… and then also he had a little red cape which you KNOW i am always a fan of. i LOVE it when they put this guy in a red cape!! seriously! it’s sooo stupid <33 um yeah and then also i think he could have been hotter but i’ll allow mediocrity just this once because he was gay about it. also they killed his celibacy swag which i thought was fucked up but again i’ll allow it just this once because he did think he was going to die the next morning. and they also made literally every word out of this man’s mouth the most intense thing anyone has ever said, which i think was a great choice. he’s literally just like that like he’s literally just. like that. drama queen!!
also i liked that bit of narration at the end when dead lancelot says that none of them who died really died because they live on in stories and legend passed down through generations <3 and finally here is the joke i wasted my letterboxd review on

There’s this article talking about the “realistic” no fantasy no magic no wizards version of King Arthur that popped up in feed and it mentioned Mads Mikkelsen was there and I was like whut???
And he was! As Sir Tristan.
Tumblr media
Oh lord, that was him. I remember thinking like “hey that one guy reminds me of Aragorn from Lord of the Rings” LMAO... Blurry screen I guess. Now that I can see the picture in HD, they don’t look very similar.
Also, I was like 13 when I saw this and I literally knew nobody aside from Keira Knightley so like okay then. And it had a bummer ending where everyone died except Arthur, Guinevere, and Merlin or something and I was kinda sad Lancelot died because for some reason he’s my favourite Arthurian knight (in legends in general, but I thought he was pretty cool too in this movie). 
Now I’m looking at Wiki, and the Galahad from that same movie later plays Will Graham in Hannibal, WTF what a coincidence

everything I know about myself says that I should be more drawn to Galahad or Gawain from King Arthur (2004) but you know who I’m actually obsessed with?
Lancelot. it’s the damn curls. and shit eating grin.

watching king arthur (2004) and i am really loving how unapologetically terrible/not-based-in-any-arthurian-legend-whatsoever it is. the writers really just took a buncha names and a sword and fully made up everything else themselves huh. under other circumstances i might be mad but the way this (probably unintentionally) parallels on a meta level with what good ol' geoffrey did with his source material i can't help but enjoy myself a little. only the oldest traditions of arthurian storytelling were adhered to in the making of this film lol.

mary: why should caesar get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet?
mary: what’s so great about caesar? hm? brutus is just as honest as caesar.
mary: okay, brutus is just as pious as caesar. people like brutus just as much as they like caesar.
mary, voice rising: and when did it become okay for somebody to become the boss of everybody, huh? because that’s not what rome is about!
mary, now yelling: we should totally just stab caesar!

I was watching King Arthur (2004) and remembered the time I tried to write a fanfic with an OFC. 🤔 I found the first two chapters that I wrote. I still like the basic idea (OFC x Dagonet), but I want to change other things... I don't know, I'll think about writing it or not.
