MAYDRED DAY 3: Mordred in Film

Back with another post about Mordred! And this time it's my Top 3 appearances of all time in film.

If you shield the living, who shall avenge the dead the outrage of murder? ⸺ Mordred to Arthur in Knights of the Round Table (1953) dir. Richard Thorpe

A phenomenal movie that's quickly become one of my comfort movies, this is the film I show to people who are new to Arthuriana. It's got everything: an amazing script, great characterization, beautiful costumes and sets. Medieval movies get a lot of flak for looking muddy or gray but not this one, it's vibrant and colorful and each knight (even the extras!) has unique armour. Mordred, played by Stanley Baker, is given a black tabard with a unicorn on it. Talk about iconic. He and Morgan are the film's antagonists, from the very beginning to the end they plot together to take Arthur's throne. As a villain, Mordred is given a lot of depth and has genuine reasons to go against Arthur other than pure ambition. He's a worthy rival to Arthur and has proven himself to be competent, charismatic, and more than capable of leading an army. Mordred aside, if you like Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot this is definitely something you'd enjoy. Percival and Elaine are amazing in it as well, and Gawain and Gareth are endearing. It's a flawless movie and a 10/10 from me.

Come, Father. Let us embrace at last. ⸺ Mordred to Arthur in Excalibur (1981) dir. John Boorman

Another all time if not the favorite Arthurian film of all time for me. It's the most popular out of this list and it's for a good reason, the dark fantasy genre as we know it would not be the same if it weren't for Excalibur (1981). As a child, he's played by Charley Boorman (John Boorman's son) and by Robert Addie as an adult. Unlike in Knights of the Round Table (1953), Mordred is not Arthur's peer but rather his incestuous bastard son borne from his sister Morgana, who then raises him as a pawn for her own ends. She gives him an impenetrable golden Roman armour in a scene that reminds me of Thetis dipping the infant Achilles into the River Styx. However, like Achilles, Mordred is doomed to die. Mordred wages war with Arthur in a scene that's got to be one of the heights for Arthuriana in film for me and I haven't been the same since. Robert Addie's portrayal of him is absolutely stellar, being both cruel and cold whilst also deeply tragic, painting the picture of a young man entangled in a fate he never asked for.

Mordred. You behaved with dignity as befits a knight. He behaved with dignity, I swear! Mordred! ⸺ Lancelot calling out to Mordred in New Adventures of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1988) dir. Viktor Gres

Otherwise known as Russian Connecticut Yankee, this was a movie I didn't expect to love so much as I do now. The film starts off with Mordred (played by Mark Gres) and Lancelot talking about a dream they shared, only to be caught by surprise by a plane crash, which they refer to as the steel dragon. Mordred flees while Lancelot stays, rescuing Hank Morgan, the titular Connecticut Yankee. There's a lot to be said about this film. Not only do I adore Mordred's casting, but this also has some of the most unique and compelling ways that I've seen Mordred utilized in anything ever. I can't spoil it, it's something you need to experience for yourself. It's become a favorite of all time for me alongside Excalibur (1981). The casting, sets, costumes, music, cinematography and the script, everything is absolutely amazing and everytime I watch it I notice something new. I should also mention the fact that this is a deeply philosophical and political film, having been produced in the late Soviet Union is very important context for this movie. Despite being made in a different time and in a different culture, the Anti-American themes resonate so deeply and has given me much to think about. I love this movie. It's a bit of an acquired taste and can be considered esoteric for some, but I urge you to give it a try.
