The film starts with a slow narrative at the beginning, starts from Morgan leaving avalon, flashes back to the source of the story, and then slowly describes the whole story. The film lasts for more than 3 hours before all the plots are finished. Although the story is based on King Arthur, the main line of the movie revolves around several female characters closely related to Avalon, and finally ends with Avalon, the holy place, gradually disappearing into the mist under the loss of people's beliefs.
As far as I personally feel, when I haven't seen the movie, I actually don't know much about the story of King Arthur, so I didn't understand the meaning of the movie very well at first. But as the film unfolded, vivid images gradually appeared in front of us. There were dramas in which we would spare no expense for our lifelong mission, and dramas in which we would rather sacrifice ourselves for love. Although I think the relationship between the protagonists in the story is a bit overly complicated and a little confusing, the whole movie is quite remarkable. After all, the soundtrack in the movie is one of the things that attracts me. The melodious music and the plot of the movie have a fascinating feeling.
Overall, I think it's a movie worth watching, people always say that art comes from life but is higher than life, and the same is true for movies. Whether you know or don't know this real history...it's a good reference.
