2004 King Arthur Film

I was not surprised how the film was set up or how Arthur was presented as the King of his people. The heavy knight suit that he wore resembles the way knights dressed in that era, as well as the head gear and his sword. The exact outfits that he wore were shinier and nicer than the others around him as well as his headgear. King Arthur was also more cleaned up while the other men were dirty, and some wore dirty clothing.

I was surprised to see more than just Arthur riding a horse because I expected just him to be since he is the king. I was also surprised seeing the respect he had for his knights. Back then, it always seemed liked the king, or commander of knights, hold such a high position being in charge, however, the film showed Arthur working with his knights and showing respect to them. As expected, I thought Arthur came across as a very heroic person. He let his knights return home, even though he very much needed them to help fight. He also says he’s “teaching free will and equality” to the minister, which shocked me to hear that said by the King during that time.
