Whatcha Watchin'? King Arthur
by Mycenay
A very different portrayal of the oft-told tale of Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and company, I found David Franzoni's King Arthur more realistic and true to the times than most of the "Excalibur" tales I've seen. This film portrays the events which may have taken place early on to bring the souls together who would later create a vision called Camelot.
Arthur is a soldier in the Roman army, apparently born of a Roman father and an English mother killed by the English tribes when Arthur was a young boy. Guinevere is an English woman and patriot warrior fighting, against the many invading peoples. Arthur's knights are Sarmatian indentured servant soldiers to the Roman army on the verge of being released from their bloody contract. Merlin is leader of the English tribes who recognizes Arthur's destiny as a leader; he is a spiritual mystic but without the fanciful magical powers of wizardry usually characterized in him. All are very real, human personalities (especially the bawdy, rugged Sarmatian knights), and their humanness makes their higher qualities of loyalty, bravery, and trust more inspiring than those of the "larger-than-life" fairytale characters generally portrayed.
Arthur's faith in God and belief in goodness shapes the destinies of all around him. His in-the-moment decisions for God's will up and above the opinions of his friends or the orders of his command set Arthur apart as the spiritual leader he is destined to be—the "once and forever king." Could it be that Arthur was a real person and a soul of destiny? Could the vision of Camelot, of a Holy City, have been a divine mandate? Could that mandate still be in effect today? Is it possible that the souls brought together under the mandate of Arthur and the vision of Camelot have repersonalized over and over again throughout the spiritual renaissances of history to manifest a Holy City, a united global city of God?
Continuing Fifth Epochal Revelation teaches that Arthur is a soul from the universe of Avalon, which the Glastonbury area was once called. Could he be a descendant of Jacob of Israel who gave each of his twelve sons a special blessing for the future? Could Arthur be the seed of Joseph whose sons Ephraim and Manasseh migrated to England?
King Arthur is in theaters.
