If you could play a Knight or a Lady in a movie...

[Mordred Inlè]

If you could star as a character in an Arthurian movie which character would you chose?
I'd really like to play Mordred or Kay but I can't because I'm a woman so I think I'd like Lynette. In my opinion she is not too beautiful (or Gareth would have fall in love with her) but she is a strong willed woman.

No dubt: Morgana;)

[Mordred Inlè]

Morgana is a lovely character but I know I'm addicted to secondary characters : D so my choice is between Lynette and Elaine (not the damsel of Astolat but Morgause and Morgana's sister).

[SakiJune]

Mordred Inlè knows who I would choose: Clarissant! Of course no one will ever make a movie or publish a book about her:(
Morgause would be also interesting, but I have not the right physical features to play her role...
And of course, Lyonesse (though I prefer to spell her name Lyonors)! I would do anything to stay with Gareth!:smile_wub:

[Mordred Inlè]

I knew you'd say Clarissant <3
X3

Recently I also think that it'd be nice to play Ragnelle. She has a misterious something around her.
And Morgause would be lovely but I bet her role is the most difficult of all.

If I played Ragnelle, I'm afraid that people would not spot the difference between "before" and "after" :D

[Mordred Inlè]

Uh, I think that'll be what may happen to me too XD
I'll settle for Lynette <3

[Lady Gaynor]

No doubt... i'd like to play Ginevra in First Knight, the only movie who has an happy end for the most beautiful couple in the medieval literature... :smile_wub:

[Mordred Inlè]

I read also Cornwell's last arthurian novels where Lancelot and Guinevere had a happy ending. But their love was different from the "Chrétien's tradition" because they started to love each other only after Arthur's death.

The guilty love is part of their story, so i can't imagine them the same way as Cromwell did...

[Mordred Inlè]

I understand perfectly. It's the same with Mordred, for example. In that book he is not evil, he is not tormented by his destiny and his birth. And without the tragedy of his figure he is not really Mordred.

Yes, that was my meaning ;)

I've just finshed to watch it..a really great movie..richard gere is the best and the actress that played Ginevra is very very good..also beautiful..nothing to say at all..

[Sir Francis]

however..i think i'd like to play Lancelot:p

[Mordred Inlè]

Recently my opinion about Lancelot... got better XD
I think it's all because of Gerald Morris. He writes a SUPERB Lancelot.

eheheh..Lancelot was superb! but it should be enough that you watch the First Knight..impossible don't loving that movie! great actors..everybody.. and a lot of passion..

[Mordred Inlè]

Ehm... I actually watched that movie (twice, I think, in Italian and in English) and I really hated it : ( I'm sorry.
I couldn't feel the love between Lancelot and Guinevere or between Guenever and Arthur. The only things I loved were the scene with Lancelot crying and the presence of Agravaine (I usually love Agravaine).
The absence of Mordred was very important in my opinion about the movie XD

[Mordred Inlè]

PS: About movie that are mostly about the relationship between Lancelot and Guinevere I preferred the musical Camelot. That lancelot was great and I have a crush on Vanessa Redgrave as Guinevere.
There I could feel the tragic love (and also the love between Arthur and Guenevere)

I found myself crying. That's so touching.

[Mordred Inlè]

I always cry when I watch that movie. In the first part I laugh (Dinadan <3) and the second part is terribly touching ;_;
