King Arthur: Legend of the Sword movie quotes help tell the story portrayed in the film about the title character as he battles his uncle for power. The fantasy movie was directed by Guy Ritchie using a screenplay he co-wrote with Lionel Wigram and Joby Harold based on the story by David Dobkin and Joby Harold. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword opened theatrically in the United States on May 12, 2017.
In King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, a young Arthur's (various actors, including Charlie Hunnam as adult Arthur) father, Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana), is killed by the hands of Arthur's uncle, Vortigern (Jude Law). Arthur goes on to grow up on the streets and in a brothel with no clue of his father's legacy, his own birthright or the murder by his uncle.
So as an adult, when the lake dries up to reveal the magical sword, one that Arthur easily pulls from the stone, Arthur begins to learn who he truly is. Though King Arthur really has no desire to take power from Vortigern, once he learns about the past, Arthur is forced to deal with his legacy and the battle for power between King Arthur and Vortigern.
Vortigern: I know your story. What kind of a man would you have become if you inherited your father's kingdom instead of being raised in a brothel? What gave you such drive?
In some sick way, Vortigern feels that he did King Arthur a favor by killing Arthur's father and making him grow up in a brothel. Vortigern feels this made Arthur the man he is today, but King Arthur clearly sees the story differently.
