Run Boy Run! (Camelot!)

So, Camelot is definitely a Christian worldview. The whole last scene, like we talked about in class, put Arthur as a God figure. When he knights the boy and tells him to go tell everyone about Camelot, it is just like the Great Commission. There is also a sacrifice involved. Arthur chooses love above the law to save Gwenevere even though no one will respect him and his round table is destroyed because of the damage their affair caused. On a happier note, I thought this movie was really entertaining. It is probably partly because I like musicals, but it was just a good story. I think it is super funny that everyone was singing a happy song when Gwenevere is about to be executed though. Lancelot's accent was also very funny. The actors are really good and fun to watch, especially Arthur.

Ah yes, I have a lifelong love affair with this movie and Richard Harris in particular. He autographed my VHS copy of the movie. Lucky me!
