      "Epic" of modern people

      If I hadn't touched the text first, the feeling of this movie might not have been so shocking. Beowulf is an epic of the Anglo-Saxons in the Middle Ages, but this film is a modern interpretation and interpretation of human nature. To put it bluntly, the shell is still that shell, but the inner core has been changed "unrecognizable". Everything is "famous from the teacher". Perhaps this is the modern people's desire to use a logic to explain the chaotic state of mind. To be honest, this is...

      It seems to be dull and calm down to ponder it is worthy of fun

      Many people give up after watching it for ten minutes. The plot is a bit boring, but the more attractive it gets later. Two things are impressive: one is that after Grandel was cut off, a group of Danes celebrated their feast and drinks and reveled. Beowulf, who should have been the happiest hero, was extraordinarily calm. He looked at the cowardly Danish king as relieved and simple in thinking. The rude companion nailed the stump to the post like showing off the booty. Except for the...

      ancestor

      This is destined to be a movie that not many people like to watch.
      It felt a bit similar to the Lord of the Rings at the beginning. I thought it was just an ordinary adaptation of literary works into movies.
      As a result, compared with many film and television works that deified history, it inferred the truth from epics with mythological colors, restoring the simple tribal era, including primitive beliefs and demonizing enemies. The unnatural Christian content added to later...

      The Troll family is not very effective

      It should be closer to the original, but the plot feels very flat and without tension. The process of defeating the three parents of the Troll family is actually very simple. The combat effectiveness is not very strong. It is just that the wild survivability and running ability are excellent. Glendale has played well in many night attacks, so it is against Denmark. The army caused a lot of damage. Around 500 AD, Christianity spread to Northern Europe, the Germanic Migration was almost complete,...

      Lost in translation

      Sometimes it's one thing to watch a movie before, and it's another thing to know the English name of the movie. Someone told me "Ocean Eleven" a few days ago, and I was still wondering what kind of movie it is. I checked it and found out that it was actually the famous "Eleven Arhats". I have to say that this kind of translation is very good. In recent movies I have watched, similar good translations include "Witness of Prosecution", which has a Chinese name called "Prosecution Witness", but...

      I didn't realize until I saw Glendale that sometimes what the eyes and ears get is not the truth. Why do you use your own moral values ​​to kidnap other people's actions for things you don't understand, and use your own moral values ​​to help those you think are weak, maybe what you see is wrong, who knows? --- always One day, you will know that this world is not only sunshine and roses, but also hideous and...

      The wild but magnificent scenery is in perfect harmony with the slow film pace and rough film and television effects. Another reading of the epic, the sin of irreparability. This version of Beowulf may lack firmness and sharpness, but his hesitation and burden are more...

      Another Beowulf, unfortunately too...

    Movie plot

    The story begins with an encirclement and suppression. The king of Denmark led his men to kill the father of the giant Grandel. According to the king's future self-report, it was only because of a fight for a fish. Hanging on the edge of the cliff, Grandel escaped the killing. He deeply imprinted the face of his enemy, the King of Denmark, into his mind. Twenty years later, he wanted the king's people to pay for it. As for the King of...
