《阿瓦隆的迷雾》 （The Mists of Avalon）是根据著名魔幻女作家从女性角度改写的传说改编而成的，与其说是史诗巨作还不如说是一部亦真亦幻的历史。整部影片给人的感觉犹如苏格兰风笛的悠扬壮阔和着悲凉的鼓点声，在心里激起一种久违的感伤，纯净、透彻、悠远。

整部影片围绕摩根的回忆缓缓展开，以她的怀孕为分界线，前半部轻快美好，后半部凝重悲凉。阿瓦隆和卡米洛特从繁盛到衰败，象征着英格兰本土宗教和基督教冲突的过程。湖夫人曾经将幼时的摩根带到墙边。墙上的壁画，左边是驯鹿，右边是猛兽，中间站着一个微笑的女人——她说：“女神守护着双方，她是万物的平衡点，如果没有这个平衡点的存在，世界便会陷入一片无止无尽的纷争之中。”

然而不要忘记罗马人，他们带来了战争与统治，也带来了基督教。即便在他们撤出英格兰后，基督教的种子依然在这片土地上繁衍生息。影片中有这样的对话：
“他们在干什么？”小亚瑟问姐姐。
“祈求女神赐予他们秋季的丰收。”
“是那个柯斯博神父讨厌的女神吗？”亚瑟有些疑惑，“这些人不信基督？”
“有些人信，有些人还是膜拜女神。”摩根笑着回答弟弟。
“上帝和女神可以同时存在吗？”小亚瑟无意间问出一个被教堂否决的问题。
摩根回答：“当然可以了。就像我们一样，既有父亲，也有母亲。”


双神和谐地共存，在摩根眼里，并没有冲突。但其实在亚瑟王统治时期，是一个旧教和新教统一的时期，这结合脆弱而危机四伏。一切似乎因Guinevere的到来结束了，这个虔诚的基督教徒王后眼里容不下异教徒的存在，处处跟摩根过不去，最终愤怒的皇后破把摩根嫁给了威尔士的老国王——摩根新恋人的父亲，使她远离了阿瓦隆。我依然记得王后指着亚瑟的鼻子控诉“你既不是一个虔诚的基督徒，也不是一个好的异教徒！”

然而最后摩根还是回到了阿瓦隆，在威尔士老国王死后，躲过了萨克逊人的攻击，只身一人乘着独木舟穿回到故乡。作为祭师，摩根具有趋散湖中迷雾的魔力，穿越迷雾，就是那魂牵梦萦的阿瓦隆，美丽的阿瓦隆。

摩根和皇后，这两个女人最后的见面富有象征意味，皇后有如百合圣母，金发碧眼，蓝色长裙的宁静；而摩根是黑发黑眼，红色长裙火焰一样张扬。两个女人，也是两种宗教，两种文明。她们拥抱，世界变得安静。

五朔节，在影片中反复回放，这节日，本就是个挥洒激情的、迷妙的时刻：在安徒生的童话中，在北欧人的传说中，有山精和女妖狂欢的五朔节。人戴上面具就会变得神秘和威武，人们在假面下变得性感和坦诚，变得自然。那一段是电影中最美丽和诱惑的故事，难忘和引人唏嘘。面具下的人们变得神秘而性感，他们都不知到对方是谁——一个是在洞穴口出现的勇者，一个是在洞穴中等待的女神。

作为猎人的亚瑟带着面具，在原始的激动节奏中野性追捕猎物，以获取赢得少女的资格；摩根也戴着装饰华丽的面具，全身绘画绿色树叶状花纹，等待与勇士同床共寝的一刻。乱伦的关系在双方全不知情的情况下只剩下诱惑与五朔节的放纵，摩根暗中希望五朔节的猎人是兰斯洛特，最后却发现居然是自己的亲弟弟亚瑟。然而她忘不了那面具后的目光，就像亚瑟忘不了那面具后“永远望着他”的眼睛。尽管故事无意搞成会让人反感的乱伦爱情，可它仍然要让五朔节的场景时常出现一次，请不要把这个仪式看成丑恶的肉体交合，也不要讨论欲望罪恶道德这些冠冕堂皇的概念，如今还有谁会抱着古老的信仰，把性看作神圣的结合？这样的美丽与献身，我没有觉得丝毫恶心。

尽管如此，似乎还是要将其安排成一场罪恶，摩根怀孕了，和自己的亲弟弟有了儿子。想起莫德里（儿子）刚得知万民拥戴的亚瑟王是自己父亲时，惨然一笑：”我宁愿像无数百姓一样去爱戴他，而不是毁灭他！” 乱伦的身世，多年的遗弃，愤怒、仇恨、思念、爱戴，在他心底激起多少惊涛骇浪？加上被邪恶的Morgause洗脑多年，他的本性早已不再纯良。后来昏暗的城堡，空荡荡的圆桌，那些圆桌武士的人头被高高地挑在长矛上，这就是莫德里报复他父亲的方式。他似乎成了影片中邪恶的代表。

而亚瑟得知自己和姐姐居然还有个儿子，作为基督徒的他自感罪孽深重，一个人缩在城堡中，此时，王后和兰斯洛特已经私奔，王后进了修道院，兰斯洛特最终也没有给她幸福。想起以前城堡里圆桌会议，骁勇善战的圆桌武士，万民拥戴的亚瑟王，忠诚的朋友，美丽的王后，多么意气风发，再看现在，英雄垂暮，不忍看，可叹，可叹……

此时的摩根犹如坚毅的女战士，唤醒了亚瑟：我们是犯了错误，但是不要忘了你的责任！你的责任是领导你的臣民，保护他们！赶走入侵者！然而在最后的战役中，亚瑟和他的亲儿子莫德里在尸横遍野的战场上呼唤着对方，在彼此的厮杀中死于对方的剑下。难忘那包含无限遗憾的对视，难忘亚瑟声嘶力竭的撕吼“你为什么要成为我的敌人？”不让人动容。

NewAge空灵的音乐响起，摩根俯身吻死去的莫德里，亚瑟用最后的气力支撑着注视她们母子，我落泪

片中阿瓦隆最后的两名尊者：梅林的死意味着旧宗教势力的衰落，他对维维安说的话让我感动。我们为了信仰奉献了毕生，我们的一生充满了责任，但这是否就是快乐？他让维维安在最后的日子里追寻她自己的快乐。梅林死时，漫天的迷雾铺天盖地，蔚为壮观。然而不久湖夫人就倒在莫德里的剑下，黑暗遮蔽了太阳的光芒，悲凉的灵歌响起，代表着一个时代的没落。我们无可奈何

大母神栖息于水中和大地，迷雾中的湖水，高高伫立的石柱，在那个虔诚的年代，它们都是令人神往和崇拜的对象。如果把女神崇拜看成母系氏族的象征，这不免有失偏颇。她们出现在比希腊诸神更早的年代，以母性的姿态出现，就如我们歌颂大地，歌颂大海，永远是母亲一样。而天空是崭新的，会有后来的希腊诸神，后来的耶和华。


在这样惨烈的新旧文明撞击中，女神们不可避免地走向了衰败。电影中湖夫人竭力维护的女神的最后尊严，但已无力回天。最终迷雾笼罩了阿瓦隆，一切归于沉寂。阿法隆的消失是必然的，并不是叛逆的摩根造成的，也不是野心的莫德里德造成的。当湖夫人死去时，有种美丽消失了。

“亚瑟，亚瑟，我们到家了。”摩根怀抱心爱的弟弟，徒劳地施展魔法，却再也解不开阿瓦隆的迷雾，亚瑟死了，他的时代结束了。阿法隆的迷雾升起来了，弥漫了。阿法隆不见了，只有修道院的钟声，永远响彻在不远处。

整部影片美的很缥缈，犹如雾中的阿瓦隆。自然的纯澈的美。基督教带来了道德和秩序，也带走了自然的野性美。人类文明的进步，是一种怎样的惊心动魄

下面是影片中几个主要人物的介绍：

摩根（Morgaine）：女主角，亚瑟的亲姐姐，阿瓦隆最后的祭司。整个故事围绕着她的回忆叙述，从阿瓦隆和卡米洛特的繁盛和衰败，到最终在圣母的石像里找寻到女神的希望。摩根在以往传说里始终是反角，在这里却是个有血有肉，依循自己灵魂心愿游走的坚强女子。我很喜欢她带着酒窝的笑容，也喜欢她坚强沉静的面容，当她负伤独自冲出重围回到阿瓦隆时，我多么希望怜惜地抱抱那独木舟中的女子。

亚 瑟（Arthur）男主角，英伦传奇性的王者。一反以往威严帝王的形象，亚瑟在这里是一个更真实的男人，从少年一直到倒在战场。他的一生里除了对抗萨克逊人入侵之外，更重要的似乎是试图将阿瓦隆的旧教和基督的新教结合起来。

薇薇安（Viviane）湖夫人，亚瑟王传奇中的湖之女神。在这部影片中，她以尊者的形象出现，是阿瓦隆的最高祭司。她的一生都为了守护阿瓦隆和英伦土地上古老的女神信仰而操劳奔走，结果却不得不和阿瓦隆的美丽一起死去。

梅 林（Merlin） 英伦第一巫师，无论是在阿瓦隆还是卡米洛特都享有非常高的地位。和湖夫人一样，也是个为阿瓦隆鞠躬尽瘁死而后已的尊者。

兰斯洛特（Lancelot）卡米洛特第一骑士，亚瑟的表哥，与之一生相伴的朋友。摩根初恋（暗恋）对象，与王后相恋。在亚瑟王的传说中为最骁勇善战的骑士。

桂妮薇（Guinevere） 亚瑟的皇后，在她还没有嫁给亚瑟之前，便在迷途阿瓦隆的经历中邂逅了兰斯洛特，之后一生都因为偷情违背基督教教义而万分困扰。最后她在和兰斯洛特私奔的半途中，入了修道院，终于得到灵魂上的平衡。因此，除了过分愚忠教义以及老和她眼中的异教徒摩根作对以外，皇后还是很值得同情的。

莫德里（Mordred） 摩根和亚瑟五朔节洞穴仪式的结晶，可怜的大奸人莫德里，从小到大爹不疼娘不爱，又被魔歌丝抱去洗脑利用，难怪最后会心理变态~~他是使圆桌骑士溃散的元凶，但阿瓦隆消逝，卡米洛特衰败并非莫德里一人造成的，是势不可挡的社会转折引起了历史的无奈变迁。

亚瑟王的故事，是一段历史，也是一段传奇。抛开沉重的不一的历史与宗教学说，单从影片所展示出的故事，我们可以看到人性与宗教神学之间的联系与冲突，看到宗教神学背后的光明和阴暗面。
全片以亚瑟的姐姐摩根的一生为线索，通过不同代表性的人物为枝蔓展开，而影片的内涵也隐藏在人的身上。
薇薇安，湖泊女神，阿瓦隆最高女祭司。在我看来，她对神母却有着病态的尊崇，为达目的不择手段，甚至可以说六亲不认，代表着一种对宗教的盲目崇拜。她妄图通过控制皇室维护阿瓦隆的地位，却适得其反，神母逐渐被遗忘。宗教，只是人们的一种信仰，是个人的事情，不是控制人们的一种手段更不是政治手段，宗教之间的斗争其实是毫无意义的。只有人们认识到一种宗教的优越性，从心底里信奉，才能使之永存。举个不太美好的例子，清朝时的太平天国运动，领带人洪秀全创立拜上帝教，开始时受到广大人民群众的信奉，就是因为它的均田思想深入人心，人们便自发支持他信仰他。后来教义改变，变成为掌权者说话，失败接踵而至。再如基督教，传教士向民众传播它的思想，从而广为流传。梅林临终前对薇薇安说的话，就是想告诉她不要再妄图以人力控制人们的信仰。时代在变化，宗教也在不断进化演变，阿瓦隆的消亡只能说明她已经不适应新的社会，她的思想已经不被新时代的人们接受。那么，消亡不过是一种必然。
摩根，亚瑟同母异父的姐姐，从小背负着母亲害死父亲的事实，被设计与弟弟乱伦产子，被设计嫁给心爱的人的父亲，最后目睹弟弟与儿子的死亡，见证阿瓦隆的消亡。但命运的磨难并没有打倒她，她的心中装满了对亲人的爱，选择自己承担一切来保护弟弟，是一个坚强、智慧并充满纯真的女子。从母亲嫁给乌瑟潘龙到姐弟两个被梅林和薇薇安带走，中间这段天真烂漫无忧无虑的时光，是摩根心中渴望的东西，是她沉重的一生中少有的欢乐，但也衬托了后来的悲剧。坚强是她留给我的最深印象，不管遇到什么事情，甚至很多在我们看来根本无法接受的，她都默默承受了。很多时候，她会哭，或默默流泪，或嚎啕大哭，但从来不曾寻死觅活，不曾放弃爱放弃自我，而是一直在苦难背后寻找道路，在打击中磨练智慧。这种坚强，是很多男儿都不曾达到的，我甚至觉得亚瑟不过是生活在她的保护伞下的君王。她对神母的信仰才是一种真正的信仰，她曾对薇薇安大喊“我侍奉的是神母不是你！”。影片最终以“神母不过换了一个名字存在于人们心中”结束，正是揭示了宗教存在的意义，所谓宗教，所谓信仰，只是人们的心而已，她替薇薇安理解了什么叫做“all god is one god”。
摩葛丝，薇薇安的妹妹，从头到尾，其野心都不曾掩饰。这让我想起了一句古话，贪心不足蛇吞象。她与薇薇安本质上是一样的，起码在我看来是的，只不过一个为了宗教一个为了自己。贪婪，是人之常情，是人的一种劣根性。贪婪不可恨，可恨的是为达目的不择手段。原著中有一句话，“女神还有第四张脸，让我们祈祷摩葛丝不要戴上”。很显然，她戴上了。人无完人，每个人背后都有黑暗的一面，女神也不例外，就看你是否能够战胜它。有人说，人之初性本善，也有人说，人之初性本恶。其实我们本就是善恶矛盾的综合体，辩证法不只对事还对人，只是大多数时候我们都希望光明战胜黑暗，也确实需要这么做。
最后，让我们看看亚瑟，不客气的说，影片中的是我看过的最不欣赏的亚瑟，透过他我认识到，我命由我。总的来说，他不过是一个傀儡，懦弱、遵从。也许正因为如此，薇薇安才选择了他。王位是在阿瓦隆的帮助下得到的，妻子是为了维护宗教平衡娶的。他的命运一直都在由别人控制，遇到喜欢的女子也不去追寻只在心底留念。得知事情真相也只是选择了逃避，任由儿子为非作歹，最终还是在摩根的劝说下觉醒。命运真是个奇妙的东西，总会有人控制它，不是你就会是别人，与其做一个傀儡受别人摆布，不如努力抗争，自己选择前进的道路。正如西汉武帝，尽管从小没有实权一直受祖母控制，却不曾屈服，一直想办法抗争，最终成功夺得实权，创造了汉王朝的辉煌。最近刚看了一部影片，Invictus，讲述了曼德拉不向命运屈服的故事。是的，我命由我不由人，不管是高贵还是低贱的出身，命运的齿轮只能由自己转动。
我还是给这部影片冠以“沉重”的标签，也许是因为它讲述的是历史与宗教，也许是因为它是一个悲剧，看完之后心里面就像有东西堵着，不禁想到自己是多么幸福，不曾被这些沉重的内容压迫和束缚。平静下来，会发现其实影片中的每个人都能给你思考，他们本身就是一部部启示书，正如上面提到的，拨开萦绕阿瓦隆的迷雾，宗教的自发信仰，人心的坚强，贪婪的邪恶，命运的控制，纯正的爱情……这些迷雾背后的内容，才是值得我们深入思考的。


The story of King Arthur is a history and also a legend. Without regard to heavy mixed history and religious doctrines, only from this film, we can see the connection between the human nature and religious theology and conflict. We can also see the religious dark side behind the light.
The life of Arthur's sister Morgan is the clue. And the story is stated through different typical characters and the connotation of it is hidden in the human nature.
Vivian, the goddess of lakes, the highest priestess of Avalon, in my opinion, has a morbid respect to goddess. She represents a kind of blind worship of religion, machiavellian and indifferent. She wants to control royal to maintain the status of Avalon. On the contrary, the Avalon goddess gradually is forgotten by people. I think Religion is only a kind of faith and a personal thing. Therefore, it is not a way to control people, or politics. Religious conflict between different religions is meaningless. Only the advantages of a religion was realized, can it exist forever. For example, not too good, when the Tai Ping movement burst in Qing dynasty, the leader Hong Xiuquan created a religion called “Baishangdi” and it was embraced by the masses of people. At the beginning, the Juntian thought was deeply rooted in the hearts of people, spontaneous to support his beliefs. Teachings later changed, becoming the speaking for the ruler, and failure followed. Besides, such as Christianity, missionaries spread it to the people, thus it widely circulated. Merlin said to Vivian when he died. Do not control people's beliefs by her power. Times are changing with evolution of religion. And the death of Avalon just means she has not been adapted by the new society. Her mind is not accepted by people in a new era. So, disappearance is a necessity.
Morgan, Arthur's half sister, burdens the fact that her mother participated in killing his father since childhood, designed with brother incest, designed to marry her lover’s father, finally seeing brother and son's death, witnessing the death of Avalon. But fate doesn't beat her. Her heart is full of love. She chooses to undertake all to protect the younger brother. From my perspective, she is a tough, wise and pure woman. From mother married Uther to she and Arthur were taken away by the Merlin and Vivian, the middle period of childlike carefree time, is her rare joy in heavy life. But it is also the foil of later tragedy. Strong will is what she left me the deepest impression. No matter what things, even those we cannot accept a little, she silently bears. Most of the time, she would cry, or tears, or cry, but never attempt to suicide, never give up love or herself. She suffered them and found the future roads, using intelligence to fight. Lots of boys would never achieve this kind of strong will. I even think Arthur is a king under her umbrella. Her faith in god mother is a true belief. Once she yelled to Vivian "My service is god mother not you!" Film ends with "the goddess does not disappear but changes a name". It reveals the meaning of religious existence. The religion is just the hearts voice of people. She understands what is called "all god is one god" replacing Vivian.
Morgause, Vivian's sister, from beginning to end, her ambition is never hidden. This reminds me of the old saying, “greed has no limits”. She and Vivian are essentially same, at least, in my opinion, just one for religion one for herself. Greed is one of human nature. And it is a deep-rooted bad habit. Greed is not a hate. But Machiavellian is. There's a phrase in the book, "the goddess has the fourth face, let's pray the Morgause will not wear it". It is obvious that she wear .No one is perfect, everyone has a dark side. The goddess is not exceptional. What is important is whether you can overcome it. Some people say that people is good at the beginning, but others say we are bad at the beginning. Actually we are the complex of conflict between good and evil. And dialectics is not only suitable to the thing but also to people. And most of the time we hope that the light can win darkness and we really need to do so.
Finally, let's take a look at Arthur. I have to say the Arthur in the movie is the most inappreciative I have ever seen. Through him I realize that my life should be arranged by myself. Generally speaking, he is just a puppet, coward, and only following. Perhaps because of this, Vivian chooses him. His throne is with the help of Avalon, and his marriage is to maintain religious balance. His fate has been controlled by others, even won’t to pursue his lover only missing her at the bottom of heart as a souvenir. Found the truth about his son he just chooses to escape, letting the son do bad things. Eventually Morgan awakes him. Fate is a wonderful thing. Someone will control it, your will or other’s. Rather than become a puppet at the mercy of others, why not fight? Choose the future way on your will. For example, Han emperor Liuche, though real power has been controlled by his grandmother , never yielded. He struggled to find a way to, managed to obtain power, creating the brilliance of the Han dynasty. Recently I saw a film called “invictus”, telling the story of Nelson Mandela who refused to bow to the fate. Obviously, my fate is controlled by myself. Whether someone is noble or humble, the gear of his fate turns only by himself.
I still give the film a "heavy" label ,perhaps because it tells the history and religion, perhaps because it is a tragedy. After watching it, something stuck in my heart. I can not help but think about I am how happy without the content of these heavy oppression and bondage. Calm down, you will find that in fact every characters in the movie can drive you to consider something. They produce many apocalypses, as mentioned above. Through the mist around the lingering Avalon , you can touch the spontaneous religious beliefs, the heart of the strong will, the greedy evil, and the control of fate, the pure love...Behind these mists of content, is worthy of our deep thinking.

《阿法隆的迷雾》这部电影让我接触到了宗教之外的另一圣域：女神和阿法隆。摩根作为神女教的继承人，不得不离开自己同母异父的亲弟弟亚瑟而前往阿法隆。为了各自的历史使命他们分道扬镳，然而命运却又戏弄搬地让他们“重逢”，摩根被欺瞒而怀上亚瑟的孩子，但是这孩子却被人利用来夺位。不得不说摩根的命运是悲剧的，但是她却坚强面对，由最初的叛逆不屈服到后来的明白自己使命并拥有心灵的安宁。

Although this movie is through a woman's eyes,I still want to talk about King Arthur.
The reason which makes Arthur and six other knights of the round table fight for the Roman empire for 15 years is the real hope for peace and freedom.But the powerful Roman empire put forward additional conditions when they should be free: attended the mortal battle before they went free.
The bishop of Rome was in the name of god to ask their allegiance. Actually,they just wanted to sacrifice them because of the considerations of interests. Besides god, there was nothing that they couldn’t exploit. Even in the face of loyalty which was as pure as gold.
King Arthur had a heart of equality and humanity. So he was aware of the cruelty of the bishop of Rome. Then he gave birth to doubt their adorable loyal heart to Rome. Truckee asked Arthur very sharp: “Arthur, you are brave when you shouldn’t be ,fight in the land which shouldn’t fight for, what’s it about?” Arthur answered:”to the Rome, although it no longer exists.”Truckee stared at him and slowly said:”what are you afraid of on earth?”
Arthur's fear came from the fear of the world. Fear that hope does not exist, fear his belief collapse moment. Arthur was deeply hated the man who killed his mother Merlin told Arthur: what make you pull out the sword of the king is not hate for me, but a mother's love for you.After Arthur hearing these,he finally decided with Qing vamps against Saxon gang up on arrival. Only love can give a deep fear of the king of England with guidance.
The knights once said: the killings in tomorrow will be regarded as a nightmare.
But every tribal people would pick up the tomahawk,shield up to continue the war which would make them die again and again. They all were regarded to die for the name of freedom.We may suspect that the heroes who lived in the faith and arrogant noble personality had such limitations, but at the end,it turned out to be a person's own contradictions.
People would build walls to security one day.People will give birth to the hearts of attack one day. You are for permanent peace, we are for in peace one day.So peace for peace ,that is never cease the battle of honor.
There was even no way to stop this dispute. Not like Barry Ann of the Crusades team, choosing not to intervene in these disputes can make things better. The Jerusalem issue to defense in the Christian Crusaders, let the Muslim army chief Salahuddin learned Christian dignity and not be destroyed, to bless the people safely out of the city in the war and this is actually relatively weak request. It would be possible to achieve peace.
Even the peaceful premise needed to test of blood and fire, human beings destined to use the really cruel way to test their divine desire and hope for the defence forces. Don't always believe in soft and weak peace and the environment itself can do not disorderly. Because the human is not the personal will, but they will. A person's stability, not enough to affect security of all people. But it would make unsettle some idea of human activity more violently.
It is tempting to think of the famous person theory. The people living in the village are bad people, every one of them steals another thing, and all people finally have all things still. So here is in peace. Until one day here came a man. He didn't steal anything. The good people’s things is less and less,another person has more and more things. Finally one day, the village appeared serious confusion.
I think the village is simplified world. Or more simply say: the serious disorder village is human own inevitable fate.

血统论，宿命论，这种论调是特别低级的，是人没有从动物进化到文明所本能持有的思想，是平等的敌人，是自由的敌人。
而且，本片还体现了我所厌恶的一种特征：人物的缺心眼。一些人物（比如阿瑟的母亲）往往听到一个消息，或者听到一种说法，或遇到一件事情，就无限的惶恐和哀伤，丝毫没有任何思考能力，没有精神战斗能力，遇到事情动的是感情而不是头脑，这种愚蠢我一直最为厌恶和最不能忍受。
所以，无论电影从情节上多么曲折，无论从细节上看多么动人，无论从表现上看多么华丽，都是金玉其外、败絮其中的垃圾。
本来看这部电影也是冲着魔法和异域看的，现在来看，看看它的魔法和异域也就算了，也不算是白看一场。

After King Arthur led his knights of the Round Table to fight in the last battle for the glory of Avalon, one of the greatest knights of the Round Table died with his body stretched peacefully. It was Lancelot, King Arthur's right-hand man, Morgan's cousin, who sticked to the code of chivalry to the last moment. In medieval times, the code of chivalry were some behaviors for a knight to follow, and the quanlities the knight had to possess, which also known as chivalry, included bravery, piety and chaste devotion. Here I would like to focus on the chivalry Lancelot possessed.
Bravery, as you may associate, is an indispensable characteristicof a knight on the battlefield. As I mentioned before, at the most crucial moment, Lancelot came back to defend his king, his country even though he was no longer a knight of the Round Table, and he clearly had the chance to survive from the war. The moment he vowed, he considered the code of the chivalry as the most important part in his life, and he was willing to fight for it throughout his life without regrets.
Piety, also a vital characteristic of a knight, was adequately reflected on him. As soon as King Arthur introduced his love Guinevere to him, he was shocked but kept silence all the time. Even if there was a chance for him to confess himself, he did not violate his vows, his king, and his country. Additionally, when he was asked to get into Kind Arthur and Guinevere's bed, he looked staggered and embarrassed. The reason why he was hesitated to follow his heart was that he was faithful to the King Arthur and determined to keep his vows forever.
Chaste devotion, the last characteristic of a knight I speaked of above, was rather impressived too in consideration of Lancelot. To be a knight of the Round Table, he not only devoted his love Guinevere to King Arthurhis, but devoted his life to the country. Actually, he devoted everthing, including his freedom to be himself, because he could not even reveal a little bit his personal feelings towards Guinevere, which was the hardest thing to do it particularly when facing the one you meeted everyday. However, all he could do was to hide the affection and turned it into patriotism.
In conclusion, all the characteristics of a knight, especially Knight Lancelot, had shaped the whole Europe and continued to shape the world.

这部电影会吸引你一直看下去，但是看完之后却有种压抑的感觉蔓延在身上每个神经...你不知从何说起，却又觉得整部电影引人入胜。
电影由起初的缓缓铺叙，从摩根离开avalon开始，倒叙回故事的源头，再慢慢描绘整个故事，电影时长3个多小时，才讲完所有情节。虽然是以亚瑟王为故事蓝本，但电影主线却是围绕在与Avalon息息相关的几个女性角色身上，最终以Avalon这一圣地在人们信仰的灭失下逐渐消失在迷雾之中收尾。
就我个人感觉而言，在还没看过这部电影的时候，其实我对亚瑟王的故事并不了解，所以一开始并不能很好的理解电影所要传达的意思。但随着电影的铺开，一个个鲜活的形象才逐渐展现在眼前，有为了终生的使命而不惜一切代价的戏码，也有为了爱而宁愿牺牲自己的戏码。虽然我觉得故事中主人公之间的关系有点过于复杂且有些混乱，但整部电影来说还是可圈可点的。毕竟电影里面的配乐就是吸引我的其中一点，悠扬的音乐配合电影情节有种引人入胜的感觉。
总体来说，我认为这是一部很值得看的电影，人们总说艺术来源于生活却高于生活，电影也是如此。无论你了解或者不了解这段真实的历史...这都是一个很好的参考。
