| There were hints in the new script and direction that (wait for it....) Guenevere and Lancelot had known each other in France and possibly even had an affair before both ended up in Camelot. First, although Guenevere, even in the original which I saw, develops a disdain for Lancelot, I never thought it happened immediately upon seeing him show up. In this version, it is an automatic response as though she is trying to hide their history. Second, there is the moment when they are both trying to bring Arthur back to life after the swordfight and they catch each other's eye. Again trying to hide something. Thirdly, when Lancelot is assigned to guard Gunevere over night for the first time, why would he instantly sit within three feet of her in her bedroom instead of standing guard at her door? One other note is that the young boy who plays the young boy who appears in the final scene simply cannot act, sorry to say. He unintentionally ruins the last scene and needs to be replaced. |
