In my younger years, I wrote an amazing paper on this movie for my college class. I still carry that paper with me. This will always be a movie that changed me in many ways.
It's too bad young people today don't have a sense of their own mythology. The Hero Journey was written all throughout our time and is made into movies everyday now. And people don't even realize that that is the ancient Hero Journey being told in a modern way
Good question. Sometimes he’s called the Grail King, some times the fisher king. The one thing in common, in all the variations is that the king suffers a wound.I know in some versions, instead of reaching in the flames for the grail, he bites in to fish that is too hot and burns his mouth. That might be the origin of the fisher part. It may also have Christian origins as Christ is the fisher of men and is symbolized by the fish.
Just listen to the begining again...Robin Williams asks....Did u hear the story of the Fisher King?. It begins with the KING AS A BOY..having to spend the night alone in the forest to prove his courage to become king....He's already Royalty.. Just going through rituals.
Best movie

Cool video. But now I wish Robin Williams had done a mythology narration series. It would of been captivating
Mythology Retold I wish we had him longer!
I hate to burst your bubble everything Robin Williams did in his public life was captivating that's why he is a beloved figure
Rest in powerful peace my favorite celebrity (and homie) all time, Robin Williams✌💞⚘⚘🎶✊
We are so back 🐉 they planned on me being homeless HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH.

But how did the boy became a king?
I suppose, just by spending the night alone
From original mythology, the boy is the son of the King, he's a prince then.
