阿瓦隆的迷雾

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。

The Mists of Avalon
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.

看时介绍说是一部迷你电视连续剧，是用女性特有的细腻为我们讲述了有关女神和她如何在历史的长河中失落的故事。我想应该是这样的，最令我印象深刻及心疼的应该就是莫根了，她是亚瑟王的姐姐，也许因为是神母教的传人，她有着超越常人的坚强，但同样的她也只是一个徘徊在信仰与情感之间的柔弱女子，但在经历了粉身碎骨的痛苦之后，她明白了自己的使命并拥有了心灵，但正是因为这样，才让人更觉得心疼，心疼她所经历的一切，心疼她的身不由己。最终，迷雾笼罩了整个阿瓦隆，死亡和失落终结了这个时代，虽然有太多的不舍，但又何尝不是这个时代该有的命运呢。这个时代的终结其实与任何人都无关，人类文明的进步毁灭的又岂止是这些。

  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.

     亚瑟王是凯尔特人还是罗马人？抑或是获得了罗马公民权的凯尔特人？亚瑟王是真有其人还是神话传奇？抑或是基于真人的神话演绎？不管历史的迷雾何时揭开，中世纪的传奇文学特别钟情亚瑟王及其骑士，他们已经成为“史实”存在了。
      这个版本的亚瑟王可圈可点之处有三：其一，脉络清晰，亚瑟的前世今生交代完整；其二，女性视角鲜活有趣，人物刻画丰富；其三，画面精致，氛围的渲染像水墨画般迷人。

很不错的魔幻史诗片，值得一看，没有特别大的效果特技，但是人物心理刻画的很好。

没看过原著，不过相信原著比电影好，因为电影无法超越原著已成为定律。
原著的作者是女性，又是通过大湖女神祭祀继承人摩根视角来叙述亚瑟王时代的故事，所以电影处处弥漫着女性忧伤哀愁的情绪。电影前三分之一是宿命论论调，中三人之一充满偶然性论调，后三分之一又是古希腊式弑父的悲剧。从头到尾，你不是在看电影，仿佛是慢饮一杯苦酒。心情不好的时候千万别看，让人情何以堪～～～

我看电影从不喜欢人物始终被感情所左右，虽然我承认人类是感情动物，但是人除了感情，还有责任。无疑这部影片感情是故事发展的主线，主要人物情感交错犹如蜘蛛网般错综复杂，各自要承担的责任义务通通不见踪影，所以我给三星。总之电影可看，但不推荐。
