沒看過原著，不過相信原著比電影好，因為電影無法超越原著已成為定律。
原著的作者是女性，又是通過大湖女神祭祀繼承人摩根視角來敘述亞瑟王時代的故事，所以電影處處彌漫著女性憂傷哀愁的情緒。電影前三分之一是宿命論論調(diào)，中三人之一充滿偶然性論調(diào)，后三分之一又是古希臘式弒父的悲劇。從頭到尾，你不是在看電影，仿佛是慢飲一杯苦酒。心情不好的時候千萬別看，讓人情何以堪～～～

我看電影從不喜歡人物始終被感情所左右，雖然我承認人類是感情動物，但是人除了感情，還有責任。無疑這部影片感情是故事發(fā)展的主線，主要人物情感交錯猶如蜘蛛網(wǎng)般錯綜復雜，各自要承擔的責任義務通通不見蹤影，所以我給三星?？傊娪翱煽矗煌扑]。

The movie “the mists of Avalon” is a very different movie to tell the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female character including his mother Igraine; his half-sister Morgaine; his aunt Viviane, the Lady of the Lake and his wife, Gwenwyfar. The film also shows the decline of people’s faith in Avalon. The film is set in the period when Christian invaded England and people’s faith in Avalon gradually declined.
The distinction between this film and others is that rather than casting Arthur as a distant, unknown person with little or no explanation but from the perspective of the female characters to show a different Arthur. On the other hand, the focus of this film is Arthur’ sister, is presented as a woman with unique gifts and responsibilities at a time of enormous political and spiritual upheaval who is called upon to defend her indigenous matriarchal heritage against impossible odds. The film stands as a watershed for feminist interpretation of male-centered myth by articulating women's experiences at times of great change and shifts in gender-power. The typical battles, quests, and feuds of King Arthur's reign, however, act as secondary elements to the women's lives.

     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.

看時介紹說是一部迷你電視連續(xù)劇，是用女性特有的細膩為我們講述了有關女神和她如何在歷史的長河中失落的故事。我想應該是這樣的，最令我印象深刻及心疼的應該就是莫根了，她是亞瑟王的姐姐，也許因為是神母教的傳人，她有著超越常人的堅強，但同樣的她也只是一個徘徊在信仰與情感之間的柔弱女子，但在經(jīng)歷了粉身碎骨的痛苦之后，她明白了自己的使命并擁有了心靈，但正是因為這樣，才讓人更覺得心疼，心疼她所經(jīng)歷的一切，心疼她的身不由己。最終，迷霧籠罩了整個阿瓦隆，死亡和失落終結(jié)了這個時代，雖然有太多的不舍，但又何嘗不是這個時代該有的命運呢。這個時代的終結(jié)其實與任何人都無關，人類文明的進步毀滅的又豈止是這些。

       這部電影會吸引你一直看下去，但是看完之后卻有種壓抑的感覺蔓延在身上每個神經(jīng)...你不知從何說起，卻又覺得整部電影引人入勝。
       電影由起初的緩緩鋪敘，從摩根離開avalon開始，倒敘回故事的源頭，再慢慢描繪整個故事，電影時長3個多小時，才講完所有情節(jié)。雖然是以亞瑟王為故事藍本，但電影主線卻是圍繞在與Avalon息息相關的幾個女性角色身上，最終以Avalon這一圣地在人們信仰的滅失下逐漸消失在迷霧之中收尾。
       就我個人感覺而言，在還沒看過這部電影的時候，其實我對亞瑟王的故事并不了解，所以一開始并不能很好的理解電影所要傳達的意思。但隨著電影的鋪開，一個個鮮活的形象才逐漸展現(xiàn)在眼前，有為了終生的使命而不惜一切代價的戲碼，也有為了愛而寧愿犧牲自己的戲碼。雖然我覺得故事中主人公之間的關系有點過于復雜且有些混亂，但整部電影來說還是可圈可點的。畢竟電影里面的配樂就是吸引我的其中一點，悠揚的音樂配合電影情節(jié)有種引人入勝的感覺。
      總體來說，我認為這是一部很值得看的電影，人們總說藝術(shù)來源于生活卻高于生活，電影也是如此。無論你了解或者不了解這段真實的歷史...這都是一個很好的參考。
