The things that I most appreciated about this movie was how the characters emotion was not hard to see, you saw how they felt and what they were thinking at that moment in the movie. In most of the movies I've seen with kings in it or someone high in class it only shows the bravery, courage, motivation and how strong they are. In the movie it shows that along with how the character reacts to things that they don't like. For example when King Arther cries or his fear of his wife loving another man. These little things made the movie a whole lot better because of the extra emotions and feelings that you can see and understand that the character is showing. Also I like how the movie shows the strengths and weaknesses of the characters in the movie. It makes it easier to relate to in real life. One thing that I didn't like about the movie was the music. There was a different song every time a new character was introduced or someone new was speaking. I guess some of the songs were okay but it was too much for me.

Some universal archetypes in the movie were the maiden, wise old man and sidekick. The maiden archetype goes to Guinevere because she does not want to marry the king, but ironically she falls in love with king in the forest. Until she meets sir Lancelot. The wise old man archetype would go to Merlin because he had told advice to King Arthur about his future and how do stuff. Merlin also knew everything. Lastly the sidekick would go to Lancelot because when King Arther and Lancelot meet for the first time they are the best of friends, and Lance would do everything for Arther. But when Guinevere and Lancelot meet King Arther knew it was going downhill from there. So would Lancelot be in like a shadow archetype as well?

I think this movie represents how humans sin no matter who you are whether you are a king, queen, knight whatever class your in you will sin. Also in this movie it shows how we all have the same emotions and again it doesn't matter who you are. In the end of the movie I think King Arther will ask what is happening with Lancelot and Guinevere.
