Enneagram Movie Board Archive Dragonheart(Dennis Quaid, Sean Connery)...Posted by Maverick on December 26, 2000 at 15:55:35: To All: I recently saw this for the first time and it immediately became one of my favorite movies of all time. For those who haven;t seen it, the summary: Quiad plays Bowen,a knight who li ves the OLD CODE and is sworn to protect the crown prince, Weasel(actually that isn't his name but I already forgot theweaselly bastard's name). When the King dies in a battle, Weasel obtains the crown but is morytaaly wouned thereafter. His mother takes him to a dragon's lair for help ND HE GIVES IT--HALF HIS HEART ON THE OATH that he rule honorablyh.. It is done, but tragedy ensues--Weasel becomes even more corrupt than his fatherr. Believing that the dragon tricked him and is responsible for the Weasel's change, Bowen swears that he will kill every last dragon alive. This he goes about doing until he encounters the very last--Draco--and they battle to a draw. They strike up a deal where they scam locals by pretending to be enemies:dragon attacks village, Bowen "kills" dragon, both get gold. During this befriending, Bowen explains his hatred of draGONS AND dRACO ENNLIGHTENS HIM BY TEELING HIM THAT wEASELS'S CORRUPTION WAS HIS OWN--NOT THE DRAGONHEART'S. tHIS GETS bOWEEN TO THINKING AND AFTER INITIAL RELUCTANCE HE FINALLY DECIDES TO FIGHT ALONGSIDE dRACO AND A FEMALE WARRIOR who wishes to lead the villagers against the Weasel to avenge her father and bring Justice back to the land. During the battle, Weasel is wounded gravely ; to insure that he lives indefinitwly draco is captured. Bowen and the lady attempt to free him but he declines, telling bOwen that he must be killed in order to stop Weasel. Bowen declines out of love for his friend but when Weasel attacks them he is forced to do the deed. Both draco and Weasel cease, but Draco's soul lives on--in the stars. As I said an awesome movie: Bowen--1--epitomizes the ideal knight:noble,virtuous,self-sacrificing--evrything an ideal1 is. Draco--also a 1--Bowen soulbrother Weasel--6--inherently weak,his behavior is classic counterphobia:only crown gives him power. Lady Warrior--1 or8 depending on your viewpoint--she is a very strong i ndidual driven to protect those who cannot protect themselves Weasel's mother--older version of The Lady who was trAPPEDWHERE SHE WAS A DEFINITE 1
