      The latter half became my eternal dream

      I remember the strict parental discipline when I was young, and only allowed to watch TV on Saturdays. It just so happened that my parents were on duty on Sunday this week. I secretly turned on the Hitachi color TV and found that the TV newspaper was very accurate. The subtitles were really "Conan the Barbarian"... The little I was completely attracted by American fantasy movies. Just when Conan went to the Snake Lake to revenge, there was a 22 o’clock news break. I thought this was to...

      The B-level film era of muscle men

         This is Arnold's early small-cost fantasy film, which is what everyone calls a B-level film, rough but not inferior. This is also a good memory of many adults in their childhood.


          Of course, the ones I watched most in my childhood were domestic films. I didn’t have much contact with foreign films. The first ones I came into contact with were a batch of B-level films that now seem to be shoddy. My friends and I were shocked and thought it was a big production. I...

      Why is the story of the movie I watched is different from the introduction?

      Conan’s parents were killed by a mob, and Conan was sold as a slave. Because he was born strong, he was close to the fighting arena, and he fought countless fights. In the process of fleeing, he accidentally obtained the steel sword his father said before his death, and went to the mysterious east. On the road, I met monsters, friends, lovers, got precious snake eyes together, and became wealthy people. One day the king called Conan to his side, admiring the courage of Conan's gang to steal...

      A barbarian is a barbarian~

      I haven't had much interest in old movies. Since I watched "Interview with the Vampire" some time ago, Brother Tommy is not so powerful. I personally think it should be his most classic movie. After that, the idea of ​​watching the works of the superstar debut-Arnold's "Terminator 2" is nothing more than one of the most classic works, what else is there before, and then I found this movie
      about Arnold There is nothing to say about muscles, and it is also an epic movie. The...

      plot

      Conan the Barbarian is a film about a young barbarian's quest to avenge his parents' deaths. The story is set in the fictional Hyborian Age, thousands of years before the rise of modern civilization.[2] The film opens with the words, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger", a paraphrasing of Friedrich Nietzsche,[nb 1] on a black screen followed by a voice-over that establishes the film as the story of Conan's origin.[1][4] "A burst of drums and trumpets" accompanies the forging...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a successful work integrating production design, set decoration, special effects and makeup. Each frame of the film looks like an enlarged version of the Marvel comics "Conan" series of books. While most box office winners showed the most advanced technology, "Conan the Barbarian" was among the best. The shortcoming of the film is that there are no special expectations other than the set, special effects, costumes, makeup,...

    • [director's cut]

      Conan: I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind.

      [pause]

      Conan: Almost 20 years of pitiless cumber! No rest, no sleep like other men. And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai. Have you ever felt such a wind?

      Subotai: They blow where I live too. In the north of every man's heart.

      Conan: It's never too late, Subotai.

      Subotai: No. It would only lead me back here another day. In even worse company.

      Conan: For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

    • Conan's Father: Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.

      [Points to sword]

      Conan's Father: This you can trust.
