Guinevere: Native or Noble?

My first impression of the clips we watched in class is that the movie is very ‘Hollywood’. Very dramatic and whatnot, and while I’m sure this was the style of action movies around this time, it definitely withdrew me a little bit from what was happening in the movie. I always thought on the spectacle of Arthur as one that is vague but momentous nonetheless, and this movie definitely did not align with my preconception. One thing that stuck out to me in the movie trailer was this notion that this movie was the “true story” of king Arthur. After reading our documents on Arthur, this statement is very easy to dispute, as no one really even knows for sure if he existed, let alone what his life consisted of.
              The depiction of Guinevere in the movie was very interesting to me. She (as far as I remember) was the native Briton (whatever that is) in the movie, but in Snyder’s Introduction chapter, he mentions that the first time we see Guinevere’s name in history as in the twelfth century where she was stated to have been a noblewoman from Rome. These to depictions certainly don’t align. Overall, I understand some of the decisions made by the directors and producers to make the movie more appealing for general audiences, but part of the myth of Arthur that intrigues me the most in the uncertainty and vagueness of our knowledge of him.
