Of the man born of two nations
Of Rome and of Britain...
Arthur the blessed
Led his assault from the Great Wall...
——The
legend of the Welsh poet Taliesin in the 6th century AD in the Middle Ages around the 4th and 5th centuries AD , he overthrew the centuries-old rule of the Roman Empire on the British territory, successfully expelled the aggression of the Saxons, and through a series of political and military measures, gradually pushed Great Britain to an important position in Europe, and established a series of Great achievement. The legend of King Arthur has been circulated in countless literary masterpieces, and the movie has put these stories on the screen and reproduced the great achievements of this European emperor.
In 450 AD, the Roman Empire had gradually declined and was about to withdraw from the United Kingdom. On the islands of Great Britain, many lords and knights fought each other for land and castles. The people who suffered from the war organized their own guerrillas. Actively active all over the country, the aggressive Saxons also took advantage of the chaos into Great Britain. The whole country is in turmoil.
Arthur (Clive Owen) was separated from his family in the war since he was a child, was adopted and became a despised handyman. However, the magician predicted that he would become the holy British monarch, and Arthur was even more so. Pulling out the "Sword in the Stone" confirmed his future. Arthur was not only gifted with divine power, but also had lofty aspirations. When he saw this state of chaos in the country at a young age, he vowed to use his own efforts to free the entire British Isles from the tyrannical rule of the Romans, and at the same time to get rid of the chaos of chaos. In the war situation, he was determined to build a brand new home full of peace and tranquility for the people here, and achieve his hegemony.
Arthur's bravery and extraordinary spirit impressed some very good knights. They joined Arthur's team one after another and organized into the famous "Knights of the Round Table". These heroic warriors were led by Arthur. A proud record was achieved.
During the war, Arthur encounters a group of poor and homeless guerrillas they contemptuously call the "Blue Army", and among them is a noble leader, Gwenneville (Kera • Knightley). At that time, both of them were invaded by the murderous Saxons. In order to win the battle, the two former enemies had to temporarily join hands to form a fighting alliance. During these battles, Gwenneville gradually discovered that Arthur was not as brutal and tyrannical as he imagined, but full of ideals and compassion for the people. There is huge vitality and strong fighting spirit in the "Blue Army" composed of homeless people, and these soldiers should be the real masters of Britain.
The war is still going on, but everyone in the audience should already know the outcome of the story. Arthur finally succeeded in establishing the Kingdom of Great Britain, making British history, and Gwyneville eventually became Queen.
