Good day fellow steemians!!! Special thanks to @belenguerra, @writingnreviews & @fendit for this great contest. Well,my favorite decade is based on a movie I love so much titled "Merlin." **ABOUT THE MOVIE** Merlin is a movie that dwells on magic and secrecy. The king of Camelot,king Uther Pendragon,made a decree saying that all those caught in the practice of magic must be executed. A young warlock named Merlin was sent to Camelot by his mother found himself as the manservant to the prince,prince Arthur. He then discovered that he must use his powers to protect the prince and at the same time,he has to keep it a secret. Over the years and after several adventures together, Merlin and Arthur became trusted friends and companions, with the former doing his best to influence the latter into becoming the mighty king he is destined to be, unaware of what his actions will do in shaping this destiny. **SOME CASTS OF THE MOVIE** ![Screenshot_20210616-143232~2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXLEmG7CYRtdiSXDuftVUP58DGNoTajPaGronwsZGnQPX/Screenshot_20210616-143232~2.png) [Source](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1199099/mediaviewer/rm3030136064/) * Colin Morgan( Merlin), Arthur's servant and Gaius' ward, who secretly develops his magical gifts under the gaze of kings Uther and Arthur, both of whom despise the art. Merlin also has an alter-ego, "Dragoon the Great" (conjured when Merlin performs an aging spell upon himself), who is considered a criminal by both Uther and Arthur, and inspires profound fear in Morgana, who recognises him as "Emrys", her prophetic nemesis. ![Screenshot_20210616-144314~2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPZqSn4b8yy9RxL8v5JADY7kXBGwdi87gXmjUvPbfGSwp/Screenshot_20210616-144314~2.png) [Source](https://merlin.fandom.com/wiki/Guinevere_Pendragon?file=Gwen77.jpg) * Angel Coulby (Guinevere "Gwen"), Morgana's servant who later rises to become Queen of Camelot. Her relationship with Arthur at first causes conflict within the kingdom, as Uther considers her unworthy and forbids Arthur to court her, even went as far as accusing her of witchcraft when Arthur's affections for her do not diminish. However, Gwen proves popular among the common people (being one of them herself), and strives to make Arthur and his advisers approachable to them. Gwen is brave and selfless, always doing what’s right for Arthur and Camelot. She is a loyal friend to all and it is her compassionate and gentle nature that ultimately wins Arthur over. ![Screenshot_20210616-145255~2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQBps5E5KLA4CeJo9gndfFdvHomxZisiGaeWy4JTVK8Tj/Screenshot_20210616-145255~2.png) [Source](https://heroes-and-villain.fandom.com/wiki/Arthur_Pendragon_(BBC)?file=Arthur_Pendragon_Merlin.jpg) * Bradley James as Arthur Pendragon, the prince and later King of Camelot, and the commander of the kingdom's knights. Despite being charged with carrying out his father's harsh edicts, Arthur is portrayed as a far more compassionate man, who defends the falsely accused before the king, and even secretly defies him from time to time. He falls in love with Gwen, a mere serving girl, who he later marries and makes Queen. Most importantly, he comes to regard his servant Merlin as a close friend and confidant, never realising how many times Merlin has had to save his life using magic. Arthur initially promises to lift Uther's ban on magic when he becomes king – but changes his mind when magic kills his father. Arthur is prophesied as “The Once and Future King”, which means, even though he is killed in the final episode, Arthur Pendragon will rise again. ![Screenshot_20210616-150215.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaVfKBLjt4eYKspikucWVeMDjkzCpJP7izW4jrwK2LTaT/Screenshot_20210616-150215.png) [Source](https://images8.alphacoders.com/112/1125043.jpg) * Katie McGrath as Morgana Pendragon, Uther's ward who is later revealed to be his daughter. Initially portrayed as a kind and empathetic young woman, Morgana comes to despise Uther for his prejudice against magic and when she realizes he would never accept her if he knew of her magical powers, she begins covertly plotting against him. She becomes the show's primary villain by the third series, relentlessly coveting Arthur's throne and coming to recognise Merlin for the formidable foe that he is, despite not knowing of his powers. ![Screenshot_20210616-150946~2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ5ABhN83zisztK3ecqKuPCkGaBvPKAjExzM4TFeBUzzS/Screenshot_20210616-150946~2.png) [Source](https://merlin.fandom.com/wiki/Uther_Pendragon?file=Uther_Pendragon-0.jpg) * Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon, Camelot's stubborn and hard-hearted king, who shows Arthur repeated tough love and ruthlessly enforces the kingdom's strict ban on sorcery. Although meaning well, Uther earns himself many enemies in his brutal fight against magic, and Morgana's ultimate betrayal leaves him a broken man. **PRODUCTION INFORMATION** Its original release date was 20th September 2008-24th December 2012,produced by Julie Gardner and Bethan Jones with five seasons. **WAS I ABLE TO LEARN ANYTHING FROM IT?** Yes,I was able to learn so much. The movie talked about betrayal,love,trust, envy,SECRETSSSS!!! and so much more. I love this movie because it was full of suspense and it was the talk of the town when it was released. It felt as though if you hadn't watched the movie,then you weren't in vogue. Special thanks to: @belenguerra @writingnreviews @fendit
