Camelot

This is one of the more "interesting" movies I have watched. This is one of the only musicals I have ever watched. In a way it reminded me of High School musical. It seems like when the actors don't know what to do they sing. In other words they break out into random song. I appreciated that they stayed close to the real legend or story of King Arthur. Lancelot falls in love with Guenevere and they have an affair. Mordred cause chaos within the ranks of the Knights of the Round Table. I don't know how the end turns out because we haven't watched it. I don't know if this is right or if I'm way off the mark but Jesus could represent King Arthur who is the defender of England and tries to unify it. His wife could represent us as Christians or non Christians. Lancelot could represent the Satan. When Guenevere met Lancelot she liked him and he seemed cool. In our lives Satan can appear the same way. Lancelot tempted Guenevere as Satan tempts us. Satan isn't stupid so he doesn't tempt us with things we don't like. This is the Christian significance that I see. In the end of the story King Arthur baneshes his wife like who Jesus sends the non believers to hell.

You're right on track... up till the end. Jesus/Arthur has MERCY on those who have sinned against him.
