** Not to mention, the film is loosely based ''Le Morte d'Arthur'', which itself is based on on Arthurian myth. In both, Lancelot and Guenevere end up falling for each other after years of trying to avoid it but couldn't resist any longer. So, it's pretty much sticking close to its source material.

** The film is a heroic fantasy with a lot of dark fantasy elements. I guess Lancelot is all that is best in a man, but at the same time very much a man and capable of failure - he represents the whole of human existence. If Arthur is a shining example then Lancelot represents the urge for man to be better yet at the same time capable of weakness, he is human existence. I can see what you mean about Perceval - I always took him to be an expy for the common folk - never as glorious as lancelot but always persevering and surviving to the end, with a nobility of his own. Plus Perceval is the only survivor to live on and pass the tale down to the next generation, just as the small folk will pass the tale down.

** Being the best KNIGHT isn't necessarily the same thing as being the best MAN. Knights embraced the concept of romantic love, not necessarily fidelity. He was also what is best in men...but not exclusively what is good in men. He had all the best qualities of mankind, in addition to a few fatal flaws.
