Brilliant version i always had a soft spot for Morgan La Fay and being of the tradtional faith , i love the way she explanes mother earth to her young Brother , )O( , i think its a shame how the one god faith murderd many in the middle ages ,but the old ways are growing again :)
This is an amazing movie! And the actress is so beautiful and charismatic. However, what I love most about this movie is, that is shows a realistic image of the Old Religion; the magick, the connection with nature and the great understand of the feminine spirit ... I love the powerful scenes from Beltane! The bonfire, dancing, the joy and passion. How I'd love to live at that time! Where followers were priestesses, not witches and worshippers of some christian devil. Long live the magick of old!
I used to practice paganism when I was younger. My Christian mom was/is very open minded. However she married a very nice man, whom I love dearly, who happened to be a very religious christian who wanted all under roof to be Christian. So in a sense i converted out of respect for him. Five years later I'm now kinda conflicted. I feel a connection to pagan beliefs and but it conflicts with the religion I practice now. It's hard watching this movie b/c of that. But I love it. okay done babbling.
@joygasm916 You must do what your heart tells you is right. If you truly believe that Christianity is the path for you than by all means practice it. But if your heart is drawn to the Pagan ways & the Goddess than you should follow that path. You must figure out what your heart is saying and go with that. Forget what your parents, friend, family, & society has told you. Listen to your heart. It will lead you to the path you are meant to follow. Blessed Be.
@joygasm916 To expand on phoenix, you don't need to believe in a black and white world in which you must decide between one belief system and another. If something resonates with your soul and has a foundation in goodness, spiritual discipline, and a balance of soul, you are on the right track. Could you not perhaps straddle the line between both?
@Logos87X I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. The belief system of one tends to contradict or even forbid the other. I'm more than willing to find a balance between the two ..it's more that I'm afraid that my choice might create a hostile environment and nothing irks me more than feeling like I have to practice a belief in secret. So until I choose to grow a pair ....that's where I am on the subject.
Sacred stories such as this are extremely important because they preserve the highest spiritual values for the future generations, they are our collective memory. History (as science has studied it) fades away as the land erodes and thus ruins are destroyed and documents are burned; but stories...they still rescue the essential historica keys of our past, and yet, they cannot be destroyed...they remain in our hearts and souls forever.
That's why we need intelligent and conscious writers and moviemakers that realize storytelling is a sacred art, just as the scribes of old times, that were scribes and priests at the same time, so they sit down to re-create the ancient sacred stories, and even create new sacred stories. This is the time for new sacred stories to be born. As new stories are born, it will mean that a new time for us as humanity, with new structures and a new future will also be born.
@Haringi The man that was dead was her husband and the other man was Uther Pendragon. Merlin has used a cloaking spell to disguise him as Gorloris so that the prophecy would be fullfilled.
the prologue in the book is so so much better... " And so, perhaps, the truth winds somewhere beween the road to Glastonbury, Isle of the Priests, and the road to Avalon, lost forever in the mists of the Summer Sea... but it is my truth; I who am Morgaine tell you these things, Morgaine who was in later days called Morgan le Fay"
The book is MUCH MUCH better than this film. The film isn't terrible but it doesn't give that great tome of fiction the nuance, mystery and beauty it deserves. It didn't do it justice.
@simplenametag totally agree infact this does not give it justice at all while im sure its a decent enuf mini series they should have called it sumthing else and not associated it with the book
I was obviously very preoccupied with my dad's illness when this film came out--I never realized they'd made it into a movie. I read the book when I was about 17 and didn't quite understand it all, but always loved the Arthurian legend. I think it's the fattest book I'd ever willingly read till that time, lol. I am so grateful to see it posted on here so I can watch it as a waaayyy older person and be re-entertained all over again. Thank you!
What is there about the Arthurian legend that makes it so compelling? There are other cultures rich with equally imaginative lore (Holger Danske, Roland, Rustum) but the sword in the stone, Guinevere, capture attention again and again. But maybe it's just an English speaking movie industry.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Feminist anti male propaganda. Real magic is when a man and a woman deeply and profoundly fall in love and live their life with mutual respect, mutual support and consistent mutual nurturing. As I have always been aggressively opposed to male supremacy, I am equally aggressively opposed to female supremacy. Films like this only encourage hatred toward males and the belief that females are superior. That's a good way to kill love. Thomas
@000missing000 lol. yeah I figured it was portuguese. It was sort of similar to Spanish, but I knew it wasn't because I've had 5 years of Spanish. so naturally the next option was Portuguese.
its not spanish i know cuz i speak spanish i think its italian but im not sure but im sure its not spanish alot of ppl mistake it cause it looks alike and sounds alike but its not ^_^
Right i'm going to get thumbed down for this question, but i don't care. Would any of you here recommend that a guy watch this movie and are any of you guys? Or is this some ladies/chick flick with a lot of over-the-top soppy romance and impossibly good-looking dudes. I love Arthurian legends and adaptations of them, but i don't want to find a couple clips down that all the comments are about how "sexy" the topless guys are and the like!!!
Haha, this has got to be one of the wrost films ever made. It's so bad it's highly amusing. The lines are so contrived and melodramatic, and that is a collection of the worst fake British accents I have ever seen.
Loved the books so much, but I feel like the cast is completely inappropriate... there would have been thousands of better choices for the actors... so disappointed !
@jeffreywish That's a bit harsh, don't you think? I only said, it seems to be written for a certain target audience. How does that make me homophobic?
These subtitles are in Portuguese (it is advertised with Spanish on the main page), does anyone know if it is on youtube in English with Spanish subtitles? This is the best interpretation of the "Arthur" movies, very well done. Thanks for posting.
you know its sad that you can't even watch a friggin movie these days with out somebody talkin about friggin relegion. just give it a rest and watch the movie people !!!
With all the good HBO, Starz, and Showtime miniseries coming out, I would love it if someone tackled Mists faithfully to the books. While I love this adaptation, it is, in the end, a different story.
how enchanting and magical things and stories get, when women take a bigger part in it. i mean, that is the truth that is revealed in the book: the power of women behind everything. ^^
Why do you all have to fight over religion? In my opinion Buddhism is the only one worth joining, because as far as I know, its the one religion that hasn't caused a war to start. All of those people who thinks god is a just and kind protector of mankind seldom think about how IF he exists, then he would send people who don't believe in him to hell. WHY would a "merciful" being like god condemn people who don't believe in Jesus or god to hell, even if they're the most loving person in the world.
@TickleMehNancy And what's wrong with that!? I see more Christians dissing on other peoples religions than any other. I for one love and respect all religions. I've read the bible many times and yet I'm Pagan. Why can't people be whatever religion they want without being criticized? I'm young I know. but at least I understand that this wrong. well ya know what? I'm a witch and proud of it! But just so you know I do love your religion and respect it in every way even if I don't fully believe it.
@AnaynaySparklyballs I am not a Christian rofl I hate those dumb cunts I am sad they weren't all thrown to the lions. I just like making fun of the stupid pagans they're hilarious.
As for God being ruthless, things are complex. God does certain things to prevent / stop evil (those children could have become bad like their parents), to guide us to the highest purpose (there's also a hidden meaning: to get rid of evil, we must also "kill" its "children"). His judgement is higher, He sees, knows things till the end, not only on the surface, for the moment. We musn't jump on conclusions. Those ancient times were harder, men were different, they wouldn't understand otherwise.
Hello to all! I didn't watch the movie yet, but I will very soon. I've read the interesting comments and respect all your opinions and what you believe. First of all, I must say that faith and reason don't exclude each other from the start. I believe in God, but not blindly, I know why, I read, I put questions, I understand with my mind why & what I believe. Spiritual realities are not imaginary - for example: The Holy Light in Jerusalem every Easter, the relics of Saints that heal people etc.
The religious overtones in Mists of Avalon concern a triple goddess: maiden, mother, crone. This figure is no more a simple "power of nature" than is the Jewish god you find it so fashionable to abominate. You make a childish dichotomy between rationalism and faith, when in fact believing that anything you sense around you exists in the way you understand it at all is a matter of faith. I don't object to the point, just your self-important, pseudointellectual attitude.
What I liked the most is that in the end, Morgaine understood that the Godess hadnot disappeared. She just had changed, but still was the all-mother that gives comfort and love and life. Doesnot matter how she is called, wether it is Maria or The Godess, Anath or Sarasvati, "Mother Nature" or "Mother Earth", it is comforting to know she is still around us.....
ummmm..ok...I know it's justa a movie and everything but there were no spinning wheels during that period of time. Spinning wheels with a flyer like the one used in this movie were not invented until the 1460's. The lady would have used a drop spindle in real time. Just so you know........
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!!! So I totally ruined the mood for myself!!!
At :43 or thereabouts when the boat is shown from the side coming around the tree, I saw the reflections of the trees as just the rest of the tree, making the water the sky. So I was trying to figure out what that oddly shaped person (with some weird hat on) was doing flying across the sky
I think arthur was sort of a self rightouse man whore. He bore the mark of Avalon only to cover it up when he was king. I think the churches wanted the power of Avalon to extend their reach. And if they couldent have it or go through Arthur to get it they would not let anyone have it.
@KenSystoles You need to read the book to realize your assessment is totally wrong. Arthur loved Morgaine above all, and always saw the goddess in her face. It's only during the time when Arthur lost Morgaine that he lost his way. She was the love of his life.
It all gets so confusing with the historical characters... each movie is so different... I wonder which is the closet to truth. I guess we will never know unless we were actually there.
sometimes i think why the western europe lost their spirituality, and become so different from the now rapidly disapearing indigenous peoples. the truth is europe too was a hunter gatherer culture long ago. in fact the death of the shamanistci ancient beliefs and the start of the spiritualy dead era was the witch hunt of the midle ages. extermination of all traces of shamanism reduced us descendants of the europeans to spiritualy dead shells. theres very very few of us left
The book was so... enchanting... and.... wow. You have no idea until you read it. So magical. When I finished it... I felt like my best friend just died.
@hannah4colbert is the book called 'The Mists of Avalon' ? Just want to know so i can go and read it ^^ Also, is it a Morgan le fey story or is about Arthur? Or the other sister
@hannah4colbert so true! When I finished it I was sad :( Started reading it again the next day, lol. It's a shame the film doesn't capture more from the book, so much is explained in there, especially the relationships between the female characters, which would have led to a better understanding but eh.. Hollywood :)
Yeah he was supposed to be masculine and attractive, blonde and fair, but hardy and rough. Now Arthur was more fair but had a beautiful way about him, and Lance was even more so femenine but handsome in his own way :D
Well, Vivaine and Morgaine were specifically not attractive. Vivaine only became actually beautiful when she used glamour magic or stood tall as the Goddess. Uther also was not attractive, as Igraine notes when she meets him. Igraine, on the other hand, is a disappointment. She was to be tall and beautiful, so I agree with you on her.
LOL; it's so funny to see Merlin with a big white beard, cause by now I am so used to seeing him as the younger version in the BBC series, but strangely, before that show I would've thought Merlin's white beard was perfectly normal.
Why is Saxon barbarians such a strange term? That term applies to anyone from 'outside' a country or culture that attacks that country & oppresses its ppl- this certainly applies to the Saxons & Britain history.
aaaaand: ok its fantasy but its around the year 500 and the the british city culture should be more like some mixture of roman remnants and germanic/celtic culture.

The religious overtones in Mists of Avalon concern a triple goddess: maiden, mother, crone. This figure is no more a simple "power of nature" than is the Jewish god you find it so fashionable to abominate. You make a childish dichotomy between rationalism and faith, when in fact believing that anything you sense around you exists in the way you understand it at all is a matter of faith. I don't object to the point, just your self-important, pseudointellectual attitude.

What I liked the most is that in the end, Morgaine understood that the Godess hadnot disappeared. She just had changed, but still was the all-mother that gives comfort and love and life. Doesnot matter how she is called, wether it is Maria or The Godess, Anath or Sarasvati, "Mother Nature" or "Mother Earth", it is comforting to know she is still around us.....

I love this movie, very much.
But, I also love the BBC Merlin; Which shows an almost, pre-legend.

ummmm..ok...I know it's justa a movie and everything but there were no spinning wheels during that period of time. Spinning wheels with a flyer like the one used in this movie were not invented until the 1460's. The lady would have used a drop spindle in real time. Just so you know........

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!!! So I totally ruined the mood for myself!!!
At :43 or thereabouts when the boat is shown from the side coming around the tree, I saw the reflections of the trees as just the rest of the tree, making the water the sky. So I was trying to figure out what that oddly shaped person (with some weird hat on) was doing flying across the sky

I think arthur was sort of a self rightouse man whore. He bore the mark of Avalon only to cover it up when he was king. I think the churches wanted the power of Avalon to extend their reach. And if they couldent have it or go through Arthur to get it they would not let anyone have it.
KenSystoles 1 year ago
@KenSystoles You need to read the book to realize your assessment is totally wrong. Arthur loved Morgaine above all, and always saw the goddess in her face. It's only during the time when Arthur lost Morgaine that he lost his way. She was the love of his life.

sometimes i think why the western europe lost their spirituality, and become so different from the now rapidly disapearing indigenous peoples. the truth is europe too was a hunter gatherer culture long ago. in fact the death of the shamanistci ancient beliefs and the start of the spiritualy dead era was the witch hunt of the midle ages. extermination of all traces of shamanism reduced us descendants of the europeans to spiritualy dead shells. theres very very few of us left

@hannah4colbert so true! When I finished it I was sad :( Started reading it again the next day, lol. It's a shame the film doesn't capture more from the book, so much is explained in there, especially the relationships between the female characters, which would have led to a better understanding but eh.. Hollywood :)

@mhamilton123
Well, Vivaine and Morgaine were specifically not attractive. Vivaine only became actually beautiful when she used glamour magic or stood tall as the Goddess. Uther also was not attractive, as Igraine notes when she meets him. Igraine, on the other hand, is a disappointment. She was to be tall and beautiful, so I agree with you on her.

LOL; it's so funny to see Merlin with a big white beard, cause by now I am so used to seeing him as the younger version in the BBC series, but strangely, before that show I would've thought Merlin's white beard was perfectly normal.

Why is Saxon barbarians such a strange term? That term applies to anyone from 'outside' a country or culture that attacks that country & oppresses its ppl- this certainly applies to the Saxons & Britain history.
