First Knight

Wie het First Knight gisteraand op e-tv gesien? Ek het dit so geniet dat ek dit 10 uit 10 gee. Enige rede hoekom dit nie 10 uit 10 mag kry nie? Vertel my met goeie redenasie en ek verminder die punte.

The film follows the rogue Lancelot’s (played by Richard Gere) romance with Lady Guinevere (played by Julia Ormond) of Leonesse, who is to marry King Arthur (played by Sean Connery) of Camelot. Ben Cross appears as the villain Malagant. Director Jerry Zucker made “First Knight” as a follow-up to his Academy Award nominated 1990 hit “Ghost”. The movie opens with Lancelot fighting in small villages for money. While travelling to the next village, he chances by the carriage of Lady Guinevere, and helps spoil an ambush meant to kidnap her. Afterwards, Lady Guinevere refuses the advances of Lancelot.Later, he arrives in Camelot and successfully navigates an obstacle course called the “Gauntlet”, which wins him an audience once again with Lady Guinevere, and her husband-to-be, King Arthur. While staying in Camelot, Guinevere is kidnapped by Malagant’s followers. In a daring rescue attempt, Lancelot feigns the role of a messenger only to escape with Guinevere and return her to Camelot. Once again, Lancelot tries to win her heart, but is unsuccessful.Overflowing with gratitude, Arthur makes Lancelot a knight of the round table. Moments before swearing loyalty to his new queen, a messenger from Leonesse arrives, with dire news that Leonesse has been attacked by Malagant.Arthur leads his troops to Leonesse, successfully defeating Malagant’s forces in the process. Upon returning to Camelot, Lancelot feels guilty vis a vis his feelings for the queen, and in private announces his departure to her. She grants him a kiss, which turns into a passionate embrace, just in time for the king to interrupt.Lancelot and Guinevere are charged with treason. The open trial in the public square is interrupted by a surprise coup by Malagant, ready to burn the town and murder Arthur if he does not swear loyalty to Malagant. In his final moments, Arthur commands all present, “To fight! Fight like you’ve never fought before! Never surrender! Never Surrender! Fight as you never…” and is struck in the chest by four crossbow bolts, after which he says, “Camelot lives!”

The soldiers and citizens of Camelot win the battle, but Arthur dies of his wounds. On his deathbed, he asks Lancelot to “take care of her for me” – a double entendre referring to both Camelot and Lady Guinevere. The movie closes with a funeral raft carrying Arthur’s body floating out to sea.
