Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. If I went around claiming to be king just because some watery bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away! Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system. Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
Classic movie. Too bad the ending sucked.
Bloody peasant.
