      Yes, they were both attracted to each other but both resisted. Guinevere only fell to her lusts after Arthur refused to defend her honor as because he is king, he must be a judge in the duel. Lancelot did defend her honor. This made her see that Arthur will always be her king above being her beloved and in a way broke her heart. Had Arthur taken up the blade, or Lancelot not shown up to defend her honor she would have resisted her desires and remained faithful. This entire sequence of events was engineered by Morgana who first implanted the idea of Guinevere's infidelity in Gawain's mind just prior to this scene. It was part of her plan to destroy Arthur and Merlin in revenge for Uther, Arthur's father, killing her father and tricking her mom into spending the night with Uther to conceive Arthur.

    I see most people seem to have the same reaction I had - "why are they wearing full suits of armor to eat dinner?" Too funny. It's impossible to get past it. Liam Neeson's hand isn't trembling because he is upset - it's because his arm is too heavy with armor to hold it up!

    I mean, this is basically 'traditional literature gone fantasy' - the product of a time when that genre was so omnipresent, every studio would give money for a somewhat philosophical mainstream fantasy project sooner or later (especially in combination with a period piece like the King Arthur legend). On the other hand, it's also hilarious to watch ... and astonishing, once you realise how many upcoming actors starred in it, about to become British treasures and Hollywood A-listers! For example, it is interesting that Mirren and Neeson started dating and living together after Excalibur!

      ​​@@chooseyourpoison5105 The knights of the round table are like brothers, and the plate armor means that they are not only brothers but brothers IN ARMS. Arthur later says that the broterhood of arms is a moment that will not be forgotten, and so this moment will be again in the future. This is very true nowadays, as the West is attacked every day. But West will prevail and shine again, because West is brotherhood of arms.This is the meaning of this scene.
