Camelot

LOVED this movie! I enjoy musicals! Arthur's table was a good representation of Christianity since the knights of the different countries came together, in mutual respect. They agreed that fighting for revenge and pointless causes was absurd. Arthur formed the court system, which was based off of what was right, by the absolute moral code of the Bible. Before this, the king's subjective opinion was all that ruled, and many unjustices were performed. Arthur treated his wife with respect and admired her in a loving way. He was a Christ symbol because he did not take outrageous measures against either her or McDreamy. He approached the situation with concern, but still loved his wife. He left the situation in the hands of God.
In the ending of the movie, he knights a young lad who was passing through. The young boy told Arthur how much he cared for the round table, the order, and the knightly way. Arthur knights the boy, without any conditions or rules. He just offers hope for the boy and tells him to "RUUUNN, BOY, RUUUUNNNN". Christ died for us and He doesnt make us work our way to heaven. If we accept his truth and are willing to follow him, He offers us salvation will be with us and love us.
