Perceval returns Excalibur to the lake

[@johndub3866]

My favourite scene in the film. Just iconic

[@HBLADY]

This is a great scene and thanks for leaving in the original music.

"One day, a king will come. And the sword will rise again." Such a powerful and hopeful line.

"The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest, shimmering sameite, held aloft Excalibur, from the bosom of the water, signifyiing by divine providence, that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur, THAT is why I am your King! Listen. Strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! Be quiet! Look. You can't expect to weild supreme executive power, just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! SHUT UP!!! If I went around saying I was an Emperor, because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! SHUT UP, WILL YOU SHUT UP!!! Oh now we see the violence inherent in the system...." I love Excalibur, the finest mythic story ever put to film, but Monty Python makes me chuckle silently during this movie sometimes.

Geez, I remember that scene decades ago in the cinema. Always remember the fuzzy filters they used in the film to make it all shiny.

Despite the greatness of this entire story, I stand by my principle of never bargaining with the fae.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

You must bargain with the fae. Taking something as a gift from them leaves you at undefined debt to them. I wonder did Uther truly know what kind of deal he made? At least Parcival returning the blade ends the contract.

[@Avatarman2rescue]

I don't think CGI could make this simple scene any better. Camelot, and the Iliad are the greatest mythical epics in western civilization. They're both hauntingly alike in one respect. Both were recorded in what the current society's notions were, regarding ancient myths that could very well have taken place. The story of Arthur, and the knights of the round table may have taken place in the early medieval period. The story we all know, has late medieval imagery though. The Iliad takes place in bronze age Greece, yet the classical Greeks saw it as contemporaneous with their time. The power of myth can be passed down for literally eons by word of mouth, then in some time set to the permanent record keeping of the times. A people who may have generally lost that story, rediscover it in permanent record of the time, rightfully reclaim it as their own, and are thus unified more strongly. Long live Europe. That includes Ukraine, and Russia.

True, still is it much worse of what we have now in some countries?

[@dangerfindertreasureseeker8905]

“ True executive power is given from the masses not some aquatic ceremony “ “ Some watery tart threw me sword and I started calling myself king , they would have put me away .” 😂😂😂😂

[@vksasdgaming9472]

It WAS temporary solution as it can be seen. Watery tart only borrowed it and it was returned. In some variations it was Uther who was given Excalibur and he struck it in stone as well. Then Arthur took it.

[@wesleyledbetter6711]

I always wanted to know in Wales what was the real King Arthur like ??..the day he die had to be a crazy day when he died.. in real life..

[@nialloneill5097]

The real Arthur ruled in a higher plane...the lowest one above the earth. He fell due to his excessive pride...and so the other 12 Knights prayed for help...as his task was unique to him. This is when the highest King in Creation answered the call of mankind...his name was Parsifal. He is at the same time the Holy Spirit and Will of the Almighty. A Part of Him came all the way down to help the lower parts of creation which were suffering from Arthur's fall, and the general demise of the human spirits in these lower planes. Parsifal's coming is synonymous with a cleansing of the lower planes...the decay that is referred to in this film, and then a New King...for a New Kingdom...in the 1000 Years Kingdom....after men have been resurrected. This is a time when the best of earthmen can reincarnate a no of times to end their cycle in the temporal world, and as mature spirits, return to their goal...Paradise and eternal life. Before then...all that has been sown must be reaped, and since this is mostly wrong and evil...then we will soon fall into the terrifying events of the prophesied Apocalypse. After this, the earth will be cleansed and renewed to greet the improved human spirits in later incarnations. The Celts were very spiritual, some of them at least, and so some of the events on higher planes were relayed to them...but distorted by those who did not understand fully, or by those who did not wish men to be warned, for the darkness would destroy all men if it could...for there are some who have fallen too low to arise again. I sense there was an Arthurian type King at the time of the late 400s or 500s AD...and he has links to Glaston, some say he is buried there. All around the world peoples lay a claim to him...but he was never earthly. I guess in times of trouble, people like to call for a helper, and the possibility of a King Arthur is comforting...this happened in the Miners Strike too. Ironically, a miner at the time who silently went his own way during the Strike later found that he was to be the new king...as a representative of Parsifal...the rightful heir to all Creation. His time nears...as the karmic storms begin to increase, and once the main ones commence...there will be no holding them back...a time rightly described as Hell on Earth. The real King ...Parsifal is said to look like an angel with flaming eyes...silver and golden armour...and the Judgment Sword of Creation...He is at the same time...the Holy Spirit...and Holy Grail...for He is the Will of the Almighty Himself

[@lescorlett4133]

I thought it was Gawaine who took the sword back?

Gawaine fought the Green Knight I believe. Perceval was the one who returned the sword to the Lady of Lake.

[@anibalconcha6612]

It is an adaptation and preserves the spirit of the original myth.

[@lionelsteele007]

Exactly. Early versions of this story consider Excalibur a completely different sword from the "sword in the stone". We're not even sure if Mordred was Arthur's enemy during the Battle of Camlann in the earlier texts! There's a lot of wiggle room for artistic license.

[@nialloneill5097]

@@lionelsteele007 But there is only one truth. Parsifal is and has been the only King of Creation since its beginning. Later stories of Arthur referred to a King in a lower part of Creation...who fell in his duties...and so had to be replaced...Parsifal came to remedy the situations that related to his fall, and the general Fall of Man in the lower planes, symbolised by Adam and Eve, the White Buffalo Calf Woman Prophecy...and others. Mankind lost connection with the spiritual energies as his earthly brain became over developed...and his conceit in his own abilities multiplied. This led too all of men;s faults and false desires...and now he has a short time to redeem his karma...hence the Grail myth told of the decay of men and the earth...as we were cut off from the source of power...the Grail. All this was fundamentally true...and the coming Apocalypse will see these fetters cast off...as some men through the deepest suffering will liberate themselves...and begin to draw from the source of all power again, when a New Kingdom will be proclaimed, and a spiritual King will be the representative of Parsifal...who reigns supreme in Creation. Wagner perhaps came closest to the names, and Arthur was actually Amfortas...drop the tas...and dont say the m.
