>Dira Paes was chosen after an audition in which she took advantage because she answered the casting director in English. Even counting as experience only the plays she performed at school, she had already shown herself to be professional enough to forget what the word "modesty" means.

I was a girl and I have that as a reminder of the time I was still a virgin. But it wasn't hard to do, because everyone was Indian and naked.

That's an autistic cluelessness about what matters in the scene. You focus on material details (perhaps as a self-validation attempt to go "aha! I noticed le irrelevant detail") and miss out on the greater perspective offered by the take and what really matters for the spectator
>and miss out on the greater perspective offered by the take and what really matters for the spectator
Exactly who tf cares that petals aren't falling in the bg? It's a beautiful scene about England coming back to life with a confident and valiant king doing his duty.

Lmao imagine looking at a stage play and remarking on the trees not actually being real but just painted laminated wood boards.
>40 seconds of white b***hes riding horses
My homie i fell asleep watching your shitty clip why would I ever watch the entire movie behind that bullshit lol
A beautiful movie with some amazing scenes that doesnt quite work structurally, it sort of follows a traditional hero's journey but instead of having a single character (Arthur) experience all of it and go through a palpable change, it sort of divies up portions of it among different knights, making Arthur's growth and changes feel suddeny and jarring. But ultimately there is more good than bad and I love it despite its flaws.
Deliverance is legitimately one of the greatest films ever made.
Emerald Forest is decent.
Point Blank is fricking awesome. Based Lee Marvin
I personally like ZardOz, but it is wildly uneven and unfocused. I still really like it. My Sean Connery boner probably has something to do with it.
Unironic literal actual kino.
The sole flaw with this film is that it uses high medieval late-15th century full plate harness instead of historically accurate 5th century lorica hamata and lorica squamata.
>The sole flaw with this film is that it uses high medieval late-15th century full plate
I used to think this when I was younger. Then I realized the whole thing is set up to be timeless and also idealistic - the way knights are idealized pictures them with armor that is more sophisticated than the one in which mounted armored dudes were at their peak and everybody was shitting themselves looking at Norman knights or Alexios Komnenos still had cataphracts.
That is not a flaw, the movie shows "knights in shining armor" in the most romantic and iconic sense possible, you are just autistic. Arthur is myth anyway, it does not have a real historical time, just a rough notion while many of the works are anachronistic with the later middle ages when they were written anyway.
The first half and last half are perfection the middle the sets look like shit and there's an endless slew of scenes that try to compress too much into too little time and it comes off more as a series of interpretative hippy improv scenes on ugly sets (the silver castle, the rock crystal cave). The middle severely cuts into the search for the grail and final battle which goes by too quickly.
Can someone explain to me why the dialogue sounds so weird? Like it sounds like the actors were dubbed over in post production, is it just shitty sound mixing?
What this guy said, also it feels like shit just happens at random, like Lancelot comes out of nowhere. And the acting is pretty bad, especially Arthur himself with his goofy voice and line delivery.
>Can someone explain to me why the dialogue sounds so weird? Like it sounds like the actors were dubbed over in post production, is it just shitty sound mixing?
Because the clanking of the armor was so loud they had to dub over everything in post. They couldn't just dub over one or two lines or it would be too noticeable, so they did almost everything
The funniest thing is that the ancients knew this, and acted accordingly(no women rights, can beat them etc.etc.), so you can tell women have ALWAYS been trouble, it's not like men treated them like shit for no reason at all.
I dislike the mangling of the Morgan le Fay/Morgause of Orkney element of the myth, not least because it was a waste of prime Helen Mirren. She was never killed, she repented of her actions at the end and regretted the carnage of Mordred's war because she loved her brother Arthur and took him to Avalon where he rests at present. HIC IACET ARTHURUS. REX QUONDAM, REXQUE FUTURUS.
that little musical cue whenever Merlin does some shit or prophecy/destiny happens is absolute kino
I was so disappointed to learn that Boorman also made Deliverance
that movie is some dogshit israeli anti-rural propaganda
Deliverance is no different from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories or HP Lovecraft's milieu in terms of its treatment of backwoods decadence, you'd hardly call them israeli would you?

John Boorman kino.
Why would you spoil this scene for him?
He shouldn't be posting on Cinemaphile and watching webms before viewing the film.
Any other John Boorman you recommend?
Deliverance and The Emerald Forest.

Dishonest filmmaking.
Can you explain what these buzzwords mean
In this context it means nothing because the scene is beautiful,soulful and organic. The other anon doesn't know what he's talking about
Look at the petals falling in this frame. There aren't any falling in the background
They are just dumping a bucket of petals in front of the camera.
high effort filmmaking then

mise-en-scene overload
Everyone talking in loud voices for no reason.
It was basically a British stage play but set on location.
>that bright green lighting
>mwah, chefs kiss
get your sound well sorted first, the soundtrack is worth it
Best version of Helen Mirren. Great kinematography. Goosebumps. A great soundtrack. Best Merlin. And so much more...

It follows the Arthurian Legend as closely as a film reasonably could. Suck my structurally's penis.

Agreed but still a good take on Marxism and state of England at the time (70s)
Sexo with your armour on.
It was the style at the time.
that's the director's daughter

This isn't a flaw at all because the armor in the film looks great and making it mudcore would ruin it.
Historically accurate Dark Ages armor is not mudcore. You don't call Lord of the Rings mudcore, do you?

Sorry, and I forgot to add - and these would be still way later on compared to
anon the movie is about magic
magic doesn't exist in the real world
the movie is fiction
>magic doesn't exist in the real world
lmao look at this loser I bet he believes king arthur was a myth
>magic doesn't exist in the real world
that's like, totally your opinion, dude
It's because our current rendition was produced during the 15th century, when full plate armor was the norm for nobility.
That is not a flaw, the movie shows "knights in shining armor" in the most romantic and iconic sense possible, you are just autistic. Arthur is myth anyway, it does not have a real historical time, just a rough notion while many of the works are anachronistic with the later middle ages when they were written anyway.
Arthur has been definitively dated to the first half of the 5th century.

But how did a mommys boy gain a whole army? Where did his followers come from?
The King is "sad", the Land goes to shit, people get disgruntled, rebellion.
Just told poetically.
I watched it on shrooms and thought it was the most beautiful thing ever.
that hearing was hilarious
The second half wouldn't have happened if the queen didn't go and screw the knight.
Why are all women prostitutes?
The funniest thing is that the ancients knew this, and acted accordingly(no women rights, can beat them etc.etc.), so you can tell women have ALWAYS been trouble, it's not like men treated them like shit for no reason at all.

Are there two versions/cuts of this?
I watched a 4k upscale of it, looked pretty good

heh.
The undisputed best movie on the subject.
does the 2-part miniseries with Sam Neill count?
Another great option
Literal garbage in comparison to the 80s movie.
Is there a MMO or stand alone vidya game that will let me feel like a powerful wizard like Merlin?
mogs excalibur so hard its not even funny
Watched this just a few weeks ago. The whole Rita Repulsa angle really dragged it down
Christian kino
Also
>Merlin, old friend.. will I see you again?
>NO
>Christian kino
Actually it totally downplays Christianity in British style.
Classic.
Kino of the highest order
Just one of the best movies ever, ever.
No big deal.
The villian is cool. Her incest son with coolest armor ever created. A manly opera.
I dislike the mangling of the Morgan le Fay/Morgause of Orkney element of the myth, not least because it was a waste of prime Helen Mirren.

the whole sequence is purest, finest kino
Beautiful
I was just a bucket before I met you.
The plot is rushed.
would you rather it was 3 hours+
A genuine epic. I envy you.
