Arthurian legend. The phrase calls to mind classic tales of romance and magic, of timeless myths of noble heroes passed down through the ages, becoming arguably inextricably infused into both pop culture and our entire understanding of storytelling, in general. But, in 2004, Disney said "forget all that," and instead offered up a down-and-dirty, gritty retelling of the King Arthur myth...this one supposedly delivering the "true story" behind the legend. How true? Was this a worthy endeavor? And just how ironic was the James Bond-inspired casting of Clive Owen in the lead role? We discuss these questions and more as we explore KING ARTHUR.
