ストーリー
Excalibur (1981) begins with the birth of King Arthur Pendragon following Merlin's prophecy that he would become king. As a young boy, Arthur pulls the sword Excalibur from the stone, fulfilling the prophecy and proving his worthiness to rule. The film chronicles Arthur's rise to power, his battles against rebellious nobles, and the formation of the Knights of the Round Table.
The knights embark on a quest for the Holy Grail, but their journey is fraught with danger and temptation. Lancelot, one of Arthur's closest friends, becomes involved in an adulterous relationship with Guenevere, Arthur's queen, leading to strife within the kingdom. Ultimately, the betrayal leads to civil war among the knights, culminating in a tragic battle at Camelot where many of the Round Table are killed.
概要
Excalibur is a surreal adaptation of Sir Thomas Malory's 'Le Morte d'Arthur', directed by John Boorman in 1981. The film chronicles key events from Arthurian legend, including Arthur's conception and rise to power, the search for the Holy Grail by his Knights of the Round Table, and his eventual death.
While sources are limited and do not provide a general summary beyond the plot points mentioned, Excalibur is notable for its fantastical storytelling and atmospheric visuals. It explores themes of love, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of power, as depicted through the rise and fall of King Arthur's kingdom.
