King Arthur
Joanne and I watched the movie King Arthur yesterday after church (and Brenda's birthday party). What a great flic!
The writer approached this story in a different way. If myths of history are generally based on fact, what real story could the myth of King Arthur arisen from?
He crafted a tale of a Roman "Artorius" who led knights from Sarmatia. Their job: to maintain the peace in England as Woads, Saxons, and other dissenting groups battled for power. He was motivated by his unwavering faith in Christ and an idealistic view of Rome as a place of freedom for all men.
It was fabulous. There was a lot of blood, but I was rivetted to the screen. This is a movie I must watch again. (And there were a lot of scenes I can imagine us using in church someday).
