Unfortunately, the clip leaves out the best part. Once Sir Lancelot arrives and Guinevere asks him if it is true that he has never failed at anything, He of course says something about not being perfect, and he sometimes struggles with "mi Humilite" Then later she asks him if he has wrestled with humility lately, and how was that struggle going. Something like that. It has been a lot of years since I saw it, but it was a delicious bit of writing. Would have made a nice capper to the end of this clip.
I just love this movie. It's one with a background of love/hope squandered for "The merry month of May." My wife and I moved beyond this tale of brokenness and she now has a home in glory with Christ Jesus where I will join her one day. No longer wondering, or "What if". Just resting in God's love. God Bless.
Camelot Camelot In far-off France I heard your call Camelot Camelot And here am I to give my all I know in my soul what you expect of me And all that and more I shall be A knight of the Table Round should be invincible Succeed where a less fantastic man would fail Climb a wall no one else can climb Cleave a dragon in record time Swim a moat in a coat of heavy iron mail No matter the pain he ought to be invincible Impossible deeds should be his daily fare But where in the world Is there in the world A man so extraordinaire? C'est moi C'est moi I'm forced to admit 'Tis I I humbly reply That mortal who These marvels can do C'est moi c'est moi 'tis I I've never lost In battle or game I'm simply the best by far When swords are crossed 'Tis always the same One blow and au revoir C'est moi C'est moi So admirably fit A French Prometheus unbound And here I stand with valour untold Exceptionally brave amazingly bold To serve at the Table Round The soul of a knight should be a thing remarkable His heart and his mind as pure as morning dew With a will and a self-restraint That's the envy of every saint He could easily work a miracle or two To love and desire he ought to be unsparkable The ways of the flesh should offer no allure But where in the world Is there in the world A man so untouched and pure? (C'est moi) C'est moi C'est moi I blush to disclose I'm far too noble to lie That man in whom These qualities bloom C'est moi c'est moi 'tis I I've never strayed From all I believe I'm blessed with an iron will Had I been made The partner of Eve We'd be in Eden still C'est moi C'est moi The angels have chose To fight their battles below And here I stand as pure as a prayer Incredibly clean with virtue to spare The godliest man I know C'est moi
So much screen charisma and natural talent it's mesmerising and one utterly gets sucked in and forgets the rampant sexism and misogyny in the 1960s lyrics. Great art does that.😛 Richard Harris couldn't sing? Hilarious! He's off the scale fabulous in this film, single handedly carrying it despite its many dodgy cinematic aspects. Adore you FE Richard! ❤️❤️❤️
Never mind the Oliviers and Burtons and Gielguds and even O'Tooles ... The natural spark and impishness of Richard Harris was unique. He's just an incomparable, unique screen presence. Absolute legend. Jared reminds me of him a lot, I adore him in anything he does. ❤
In 1967, at age 16, this scene left me thoroughly smitten with Vanessa. For a long time thence. Interestingly, I learned years later that, at the time of this filming, her husband-in-real life had left her for another woman (actress Jean Moreau). So, in this scene, perhaps Vanessa is acting at all.
I love how absolutely DONE his squire looks. “Yeah yeah go off Lancelot 🥱 no yeah you’re so brave and pure and humble! Yep chosen by gods, uh huh… this guy again(!)”
Trump why do you call it a witch hunt..haven't you been imprisoned me since the trunk. Cause you know about my childhood....I will never back down... trap this
