I have been writing about King Arthur Legend Of the Sword since the first trailer came out: did I like it? I LOVED IT!!! The only way I could have liked it more was if I had seen it in 3D, because--from the very first screen shots--it's geared to be viewed in 3D. I got sick Friday and that really threw my schedule off for the weekend, but I am about half-way done with the review. I feel like everything I have written heretofore applies to what we see in the film, but obviously there is much more, so much more! I could not be happier or more impressed with Guy Ritchie. So, why is it getting such bad reviews and supposedly bombing?
I think there's an easy explanation: look at what happened to Spectre. Spectre, the last James Bond film, exposed the New World Order, and King Arthur is exposing the satanic and occult ties in Hollywood and politics; who owns the box office and media outlets reporting on the box office? The same people being exposed by King Arthur, not only for their own active participation in the occult, but for supporting Hillary Clinton and her participation in the occult. Remember, when Ritchie and company made this film about two years ago, it was expected that Clinton would be the next president (or even that Obama would find a way to just stay in office). Hours and hours before anyone could have known, a couple of news outlets began picking up that King Arthur was "bombing," and then everyone started reporting it; There wasn't as much money being pulled in because so many early showings (Thursday evening, and 3D showings) were being canceled before the film even began playing; when I got to my theater, three shows of King Arthur had all ready sold out.
So, why would they cancel early showings? For at least two reasons: first, it would take longer for word of mouth about how good it is to get around if people weren't getting to see it Thursday, then go to work/school Friday and talk it up, so people would only have the "professional" critics (read: "liberal") to go by when deciding if they would go see it. Second, cutting out Thursday showings meant slashing profit-possibility: those are the die-hard fans, and it's easier to get into see a film Thursday night, then Friday day (and, in this case, papers were all ready reporting that it was "bombing" before the Friday movie audiences even made it to the theater!); not to mention that 3D viewing opportunities have also been slashed. So, just like with Spectre, they hope to drastically reduce the number of people going to see King Arthur so they can say, "See? No one supports white males anymore, and no one wants to see an exertion of male authority, so we're not going back that way," and that's a narrative they can use to continue feeding us propaganda like Wonder Woman and Guardians Of the Galaxy. I will get this up asap, and please, go and see it because it's amazing!

(Why would film companies want to pan the films they themselves spent over a hundred million dollars to make? There are actually several advantages. One, there are things more important than money, like influence. If people, such as myself, think that there really are satanic influences at work in Hollywood and politics, then a film "exposing" such things bombing makes me look like an idiot for believing such things; in other words, rather than the film validating my view, I'm being isolated and (according to liberals) will be far less likely to discuss such matters with others because a film talking about the same topics bombed. Additionally, King Arthur is a challenge about the good which has been accomplished by white males, who are the number one enemies of liberals; why support a film that supports your enemy? Then, good and reasonable reader, you are like, "If you are right, then why would they even make the film to begin with?" and the answer to that is simple: propaganda. If you like a film that didn't do well at the box office, then you, too, are a loser, and who wants to be a loser? This is the same reason you will never see the liberal media reporting that a candidate they favor for an election is losing or trailing behind in the polls, no one--they believe--is going to get out and support a loser, because people want to be associated with winners. So by spreading the word that a film isn't good, they think it will make you ashamed that you wanted to see it; if you do go and see it, and liked it, and tell others about it, those others are going to think you're crazy and have horrible taste, because the professional critics are telling everyone it's horrible. To the liberals, it is horrible; it's awful! They don't want to see anyone butting up against their treasured thesis's of how reality works and what power is all about.)

Kek, I skimmed the last paragraph and I'm going to read the whole thing because it was clearly written by a loon. I'm probably more right-wing than you are, but Sup Forums needs to stay the fuck in its containment board.
Makes sense. I looked up his BvS reivew and it was exactly what I thought it would be.

thefineartdiner.blogspot.com/search?q=batman superman >Like Man Of Steel before it, Batman vs Superman is a complex political manifesto full of the metaphysical problems facing this country and a clear road on how to get them straightened out. Each one of us has to put aside the Batman within and embrace the Superman desperate to get out; like steel, we have to stand for what we believe and refuse to bend; we have to respect the law, our founding fathers and our motherland, but we also have to be who we really are and be that with everything we have within us. The film doesn't describe two super-heroes fighting it out between each other, rather, it depicts the very real internal struggle taking place within this country and within each individual trying to save our mother, our Martha, America.

>Whenever Lex speaks in the film, he becomes like Obama going off the teleprompter and starts saying things revealing his real character, his true intentions and agendas (however, Lex is not an Obama figure, Lex Luthor is a George Soros figure, Obama is represented by another character in the film) Likewise, in this scene when Lex threatens Superman to bring him the head of the bat or Martha dies, "the mother of god," Lex calls her and then he says, "six, nineteen, eighty two" and then sets that cheap kitchen oven timer. Why? On June 19, 1982, "the banker of God," Roberto Calvi, was found dead of "apparent suicide" resulting from a massive fraud and breaking of Italy's financial laws; it was later ruled murder by a very interesting forensics investigation NCIS' Gibbs would be proud of. The Batman vs Superman film makers referring to Martha Kent as the "mother of god," then providing the date of the finding of the body of the man known as "God's banker," is a clue that we are on the right path; I'm just not quite sure where that path is leading, unless, it's a warning that the same kind of catastrophic collapse is imminent in the world again, and because of people like Lex Luthor. Now, Secrets Of the Fed lists 125 scientists, 75 high-level bankers and 3 investigative-journalists who have all died within the last couple of years of highly suspicious circumstances (like one Denver banker who shot supposedly shot himself 8 times in the head and torso with a nail gun. There is an infectious disease scientist who was stabbed 196 times, and that was ruled suicide; the link gives a detailed account of each person and the events surrounding their death, not to mention a certain conservative Supreme Court judge found dead with a pillow over his face). It's possible that this slight detail in the film is meant to draw our attention to larger issues at work in the country through the long, shadowy arm of the Obama administration. This guy makes Sup Forums look small-time.

Why the name "Martha?" In Hebrew, the root of the name means "bitter," and when Clark goes to talk to his mom, she tells him, "You don't owe this world a thing," and that isn't true, and by the sacrifice Clark makes, we know he knows it isn't true either: earth was the safe harbor when Krypton imploded; America was the country that gave him his values and cultural identity, and the good people of Kansas (of which I am one) gave him a strong work ethic (which generally exists in the US, but especially in my home state). What happens to Martha, exactly? She's taking out the trash, and then she's taken hostage. In other words, she is working--which is what Martha in the Bible was doing, instead of listening to Jesus teach--and as she is working (taking out the trash being part of her job) she is taken hostage,... like so many millions of Americans who have been out of work for years. Now, we have to break for a quick history lesson. From about 1950 to 1956, the US Senate was on, what was described as a "witch hunt" for communists and socialists in the country, specifically those working in television and Hollywood (and, as the Coen Brothers' recent film Hail, Caesar! testifies, the witch hunts were right all along: Hollywood was crawling with communists). The number one strategy of socialists is to accuse conservatives and capitalists of the very crimes and sins which socialists commit: so a socialist will always try and get away with calling capitalists "witches," because they hope someone will be dumb enough to buy it. Look at this image of Martha above: she wears a cross around her neck, she's working, she lives in Kansas, and she is absolutely the quint-essential "witch" that socialists hate: she doesn't take government hand-outs and is as self-sufficient as she can be, therefore, according to the Gospel of Communism, she is a witch because she is holding up the socialist revolution.

I'll be honest, even as a liberal, I'm not keen on Soros, but what realistically can be done? He has too much money and thus too much power, much like Trump himself.

You'll eventually die and the problem will go away. If that'll take too long, kill yourself, which I'm going to confidently assume is within your means.

Nah, I'm not going to die by my own hand.

Then get a gun and start shooting in a area filled with cops and you'll probably get killed. I don't know what you want me to tell you.

Who, historically, speaking, were the guards who would break in at night and tear people out of their rooms and take them off some place to die? The Nazis. Given that Ritchie's last film, The Man From UNCLE featured plenty of Nazis, this isn't a far stretch for us to make at all. So why does Ritchie mention these Nazi soldiers again in King Arthur, via the Blacklegs? The mask goes flying off one of the Blacklegs when Arthur hits him with Excalibur, and we see the empty mask. This is the mask we have seen a number of times over the years: the motorcycle helmets of the bad guys in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, or the other motorcycle guys in Zoolander 2, and the Storm Troopers in Star Wars, and the nasty bandaged and cut faces of the "nurses" in Silent Hill Revelation. The lack of identity. There are hardly more men's names which summon such epic proportions as that of "Arthur," and that's his individuality, his own being, his personhood and inheritance from God. And each one of us have it. The fight against socialism and communism is largely one of fighting to keep our identity and not be forced to become like everyone else (which is what Guardians Of the Galaxy wants to happen to you). Don't become a mask, become yourself and who God intended you to be, because the devil intends you to be his slave for eternity. On a slightly different note, we know that the Blacklegs, including Mercier and Clarendon, are the wolves chasing Arthur when he goes into the Darklands; how do we know this? Because at the assassination scene, when Goosefat Bill prepares the arrow for Vortigern, and shoots Mercier instead, Bill says, "Mercier is the head of the wolf pack," and where do we see a wolf pack? Chasing Arthur in his mystical visions as he tries to get the stone to the alter. Likewise, I think Rubio is probably the rat in that sequence, because Rubio "rats" on where the Resistance hide-out is located so Vortigern can kill them all and get The Mage and Blue to hold as hostages.

When did Guy Richie become a second rate version of Zack Snyder, who is already a fourth rate director?

Which quest in Shadow of Mordor was this?
Jaxson Cox
Why is his name "Arthur?" It's a rather unique name, it certainly applies to him (when we think of an "Arthur," we tend to think of "King Arthur" first), so, of all names (especially the choice of something more exotic, like "Uther" or "Vortigern") why is he named "Arthur?" Because "Arthur" was the "author" of his own free will and destiny. Arthur became the author of the new peace after the chaos, Arthur was the author of the deeds of Excalibur, Arthur was the author of humility and chivalry and, therefore, masculinity, and it's because we need to be reminded of all these things that Guy Ritchie has made this film, told this tale and conjured to our minds--like the nightmares Arthur suffers--the history of why we have treasured the values we have, and chosen the decisions we did, and why we avoided so many different paths, those which were taken by Vortigern.
John Gutierrez
One of the easiest ways to begin an analysis of a film is to ask yourself what other films it reminds you of; what scenes invoked memories of films where you had seen such scenes previously, and then, once identified, ask yourself, why would the film makers "quote" those films within their own movie? For example, in Dracula Untold, there is the issue of a multitude of boys being sold into slavery from one kingdom into another, and we see the same in King Arthur; why? Children symbolize the future, and because men symbolize the active principle, men (young men and men of child-bearing age) tend to symbolize the (future of the) economy; these boys being sold into slavery, then, is the economy and the future of the economy being sold into slavery. How? The European Union, symbolized by the Vikings there to conduct trade with Vortigern. This is symbolized by Lucy who was beaten because women symbolize "the motherland," and especially since she was Arthur's adopted mother (with the other women) what the Viking does to Lucy, has--according to Ritchie--been done to England herself. At the end, when the Vikings face Arthur, Arthur says this: you face all of England, not just a single person or government official.
The story of Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone is for men what Cinderella trying on the glass slipper is for women: a coming of age, a sign of gender identity and collective wish fulfillment. So, we can say that there is an element which reminds us of Cinderella (Kenneth Branaugh) which was recently released, and juxtaposing the two stories, we see the similarities and how they have addressed issues of gender identity, traditional, gender identity.
Easton Ward
On another vibe, we can also see Clint Eastwood's film Unforgiven being cited when a prostitute is beaten up (Lucy in King Arthur). Ritchie adds an important commentary with this scene, because Arthur handles the injuries in this film, whereas, in Unforgiven, the prostitutes (Strawberry Alice) hired men (i.e., prostituted the men to be assassins) and only got death, whereas they could have had wages to provide for themselves instead. Is Arthur acting like a trade union in going after the Viking and getting Lucy's wages? No, he's acting like a man who is grateful to the woman who helped raise him, and that's the huge difference Ritchie wants us to notice, because in standing up for Lucy, Arthur fulfills his duty as a man, that is, protecting those he cares for, because they, too, have cared for him. Ritchie, then, provides us with a radically different example of "exchange" than that the Left cites for Karl Marx and market exchange; this "exchange" is based on love, not on someone getting what they believe to be is their "fair share." Then again, we also see Ursula and The Little Mermaid (which we discuss more fully below), but we can see this as an example of the prince having to choose between the the good woman (Ariel) and the bad woman (Ursula). With Vortigern, when we see him with a good woman, like his wife, he kills her for something bad (power), and with Maggie, he imprisons her because she has threatened his power, then he kills his daughter for even more power. The Viking who abused Lucy, of course, was a guest of Vortigern, so we see how abuse spreads through shady business deals (the selling of the young boys). The Prince in The Little Mermaid isn't just choosing the woman he'll marry, but how he is going to become for the rest of his life; Ariel, on the other hand, has chosen the prince to be the man she wants to give herself to, to make of herself an offering to make him be a better man than what he would be otherwise (more on this below with The Mage).
Matthew Kelly
Another film I think Ritchie cites is Anthropoid, which you probably didn't see, but you should, It was excellent. Just as there is a betrayal in Anthropoid, so, too, does the blonde-headed Rubio betray where the cave is that the Resistance has made as their base, and everyone is killed. There might also, however, be another vague reference in Ritchie's cameo he makes. When Arthur and the others plot assassinating Vortigern, we see Ritchie dressed all in blue for a brief second, as a man who would support "assassinating the king" and so they could use his building for Goose Fat to shoot Vortigern. Because Anthropoid is also about an elaborate assassination, we can see the two films linked; however, because Vortigern is not assassinated, Ritchie might be providing commentary that the assassination in Anthropoid didn't bring out the best in the characters (remember, Anthropoid was more of a call to arms against Obama than a historical drama); in other words, Ritchie cites Anthropoid so he can say, we could have had Vortigern die as a result of a political assassination, but that would not have brought out the strenuous sacrifices and courage Arthur had to summon to overcome Voritgern.
Camden Cruz
We've seen a lot of octopuses lately, and to at least some degree, the "sea witches" or sea nymphs with their long legs, are certainly octopus-like; so why does Ritchie do this? Well, we just saw in Guardians Of the Galaxy Vol 2 how, at the start of the film, how the conservative, pro-capitalist audience is the octopus-like creature that is being destroyed at the start of the film (the one with a hide so tough, Drax is swallowed by it to try and kill it from the inside? Yea, that symbolizes the conservatives in America; please see Patricide: Guardians Of the Galaxy Vol 2 for more). But the octopus theme has been common in all of Marvel's film because it's the symbol for HYDRA, and, of course, the symbol for the terrorist organization in the James Bond film Spectre (and we will discuss the sea witch in greater depth below). So, by listing and connecting one film to other films you are reminded of as you watch it, a public dialogue and debate is created, with the film you are watching at the moment bridging issues concerning film makers which you have been smart enough to pick up on.
