Chapter 280: How could King Arthur be a girl
"I recommend a movie with my conscience, "Court of Avalon", I definitely don't regret watching it, it's worth it more than other movies!"
"Really? Movie tickets seem to be twice as expensive, and the cheapest ones cost 25 yuan a piece. ”
"Let's contribute some box office to Felix Company, the investment cost of 137 million, if the loss is too ruthless, if you don't make such a masterpiece in the future, it will definitely be a big loss in life. ”
"Did you go to the movies on the weekend? I finally managed to get a ticket to 'Court of Avalon'. ”
"What happened to Arthur in the end?"
"There may be a sequel, and there is suspense at the end. ”
"Avalon seems to be the prison where Merlin is imprisoned, right?"
"No, according to the explanation in the plot of the movie, Avalon is the inland sea of the planet, and the general enchantment can't trap Merlin, if it weren't for Vivien, the fairy in the lake, who trapped Merlin at the cost of her life, maybe Merlin would have a way to save the Arthurian dynasty. ”
"Isn't Merlin able to predict the future?"
"Being able to predict also means never looking away, and only the future that he is concerned about can be predicted. Moreover, Merlin himself was trapped in Avalon, and the collapse of the Arthurian dynasty was an established destiny, and even if Merlin knew, it was impossible to change it. ”
"That Lancelot Erwuzai, not only seduced his sister-in-law, but also slashed his brother, if we have this kind of Erwuzai, it will definitely be three knives and six holes. ”
"Mordred is so pitiful, she just wants to be recognized by Artoria, if Artoria cares about her more, it is impossible to betray her. ”
Overnight, the topic of "Court of Avalon" became popular to the level of mainstream culture. Of course, this has a certain key to the legend of Arthur, but more importantly, the charm of the work itself.
……
Although the plot of the "Court of Avalon" movie has some new settings, it is still largely changed according to the Arthurian tradition.
According to the traditional Arthurian legend to shoot that is the royal road line, the widest audience, but it is easy to homogenize and not easy to shine, it is impossible to achieve the current results of "Court of Avalon".
After "The Court of Avalon" turned Arthur into a girl, the style of painting was completely different from the traditional Arthurian stories in other GAYs.
Of course, the fact that King Arthur is a girl alone is not enough to make it a blockbuster.
More critically, the work is creative. In the later "Court of Avalon", although only a short story with a small number of words remained, and a broadcast based on the content. However, because Artoria is the Kanban girl of the "FATE" series, its background and character design are very rich. There are a lot of Artoria-related characters, music, and battle scenes to learn from. The world view of the entire FATE series is even supported by countless fanworks, so it is natural to combine a richer and more popular plot.
The superposition of various elements that can sell well, coupled with Lin Qi, the harsh boss, constantly overthrows and redoes it with his critical eye.
At the cost of burning 137 million Hong Kong dollars, the work reached its peak in the 80s.
Perhaps, artistically it may not be the best, and this work is not going to participate in any awards.
After all, those profound themes, humanistic care and the like, Lin Qi scoffed. However, it is absolutely the best commercially, and even in future Hollywood blockbusters, it is crazy to borrow the battlefield scenes and special effects in "Court of Avalon".
At the beginning of the movie, Artoria, a girl whose fate was arranged, learned the way of knighthood under the teaching of her adoptive father during the day, but at night in her dream, she accepted Merlin to open a small stove and teach the way of the king. No one knows that Artoria is the illegitimate daughter of King Suither of Camelot, and she is also the last generation of the Red Dragon Dynasty to have the blood of the Red Dragon, and the bloodline of the mythical era of the Red Dragon Blood is destined to disappear in the future.
As Artoria grows, King Uther of Camelot, who has the blood of a red dragon, dies of illness, and before he dies, he leaves a last word, and the one who draws the sword in the stone will become the king of Camelot.
Artoria, who was unaware, was also arranged to the scene, but as a result, everyone present drew her sword in surprise.
Of course, at the moment of drawing the sword, Artoria had foreseen the fate of the destruction of the kingdom, and Merlin also hinted at the path of the lonely king and the inevitable end. However, the girl remained determined to become king, and she felt that if she became king, she would be willing to be the king with all the loneliness and misfortune of the people in exchange for the happiness of the people.
Later, after becoming king, Artoria continued to travel around the world with her teacher Merlin, making friends with various talents, defeating enemies from all walks of life, and having more and more companions, and the climax was naturally the defeat of the demon dragon Vantigen.
Artoria is strong because she has the blood of a red dragon. And another brutal Votigon king, the demon dragon Votigon actually represents the Saxons, the lackeys of the Roman colonization of the British Isles.
The red dragon bloodline represented by Artoria is the symbol of Wales. The predetermined fate is naturally that the Saxons will become the masters of Britain in the future. Of course, the local Artoria and others are also resisting this predetermined fate.
After defeating the demon dragon Fu Tigeng, the demon dragon Fu Tigen mockingly told King Arthur that all this was a predetermined fate, and no matter how Arthur struggled, he could not prevent the end of the civilization of the gods, including the demon dragon and the red dragon, which were not allowed in the new era.
Sure enough, after defeating Votiggen, Arthur's reputation became even louder and he gained the respect of the people, of course, although she was a girl, and through Merlin's hints, the people mistook her for a man. In order to maintain its image, it is necessary to find a queen. Of course, Queen Gnevelle was very disappointed when she learned that the king was a woman. Later, the foreshadowing of an affair with Lancelot was laid.
After Arthur defeated the brutal Votigon and conquered all of Britain, he did not bring happiness to the people, because the famine that plagued Britain continued.
Arthur made an expedition to Europa, which was doomed to failure. Although, the Knights of the Round Table, which has the blood of the gods, went on an expedition to Europa and slaughtered all sides. However, the rear is not so secure.
The queen was gradually disappointed because King Arthur was a girl, and gradually had an affair with Lancelot. Originally, Artoria, as a woman, chose to acquiesce and bless Lancelot. But later, after the adultery was revealed, Gawain, one of the Knights of the Round Table, questioned him, but was slashed by Lancelot.
Lancelot's defection directly led to the gradual division of the originally united Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's expedition ended in vain.
Then there was Mordred, the illegitimate daughter that Artoria did not recognize. Because, King Uther actually has another daughter, Morgan, who is a witch, but he does not have the blood of the red dragon, so it is impossible to become an heir. Arthur, as an illegitimate daughter, took away the throne that belonged to Morgan, which made him very jealous, so even after many years, revenge was brewing.
Mordred is both Morgan's pawn in revenge on Arthur, Mordred is not a normal birth, but her biological sister Morgan, in order to retaliate against Arthur, she used magic to steal Artoria's cells and create an artificial human, which can also be said to be a copy of Artoria. Therefore, it is not possible for Artoria to give her the throne.
At first, Mordred did not know his origins, and always admired Arthur, becoming the king's most loyal knight.
But later, because of Arthur's disapproval, Mordred was provoked by Morgan to launch a rebellion. Next, although Artoria successfully quelled the rebellion and killed the rebel Mordred, however, in the process of counterinsurgency, both armies were wiped out, and Camelot was left in ruins.
Merlin, a powerful magician, was asked to collect debts by Vivien, the fairy of the lake, during Artoria's expedition to Europa. On the way, Merlin unfortunately stepped into a stone gate in the wilderness, and the moment he stepped in, it turned into a tower of almost infinite height, with only a small place in the tower, so that he could not get out of the trap, but this was the barrier that Vivien trapped Merlin at the cost of her life.
Because of guilt or other factors, Merlin ended up trapped in a small space, able to see everything on the planet, but unable to change it. For example, he saw the end of King Arthur and the collapse of the kingdom almost close at hand, but could do nothing.
At the same time, since Merlin's lifespan is almost infinite, he will be imprisoned until the destruction of the planet, so to speak, spend the rest of his life in almost infinite self-reproach and remorse......
