      Vikings

      Who wrote the video introduction? I've taken it, have you watched the movie... these bastards...

      -----------------------------

      I Like Vikings.

      At the beginning, I only knew that most of them had long golden hair and beards, tall, brave and good at fighting, because they liked heavy metals, and even fell in love with them. Later, after getting to know them, I looked up books everywhere and found that they still adore poetry. There is a very deep plot to the...

      The scenery is beautiful, comparable to travel.

      A Babylonian poet who has experienced an astronomical adventure and grows into a warrior.

      I think this sentence can briefly summarize the film. At least the theme of the film is like this. But there are many details. We can discover, extend and expand.

      Let's talk about the theme of the film first. Director John McTiernan Michael Crichton was inspired by the influence of the Arabian Nights. He hopes to tell a new story about the Nordic people. During the adventure,...

      Heroic road

          I watched this film N times because I was a color TV audio salesman in 1999, and the film we used to show the effect was the VCD of this film.
           If you look at this film from today's perspective, many people would think it is relatively ordinary, but it must not be forgotten that it was produced in 1999 when the Lord of the Rings trilogy and other blockbusters of the same theme had not yet been produced. At that time, its conception and the composition of its themes were...

      ...

      In the far north, there is a nation that makes Europeans fearful-Viking.

      Viking's pirates are unparalleled in the world. They have powerful bodies and endless passions running through their veins. Not me, regardless of good

      or bad like such a small-minded pirate wrong industry, the Vikings did indeed cause a pirate is good, too as people yearn.

      A man should be a warrior when he is born. In the life of the Vikings, weapons and shields are very respectable,...

    Background creation

    In 1976, Michael Clayton took inspiration from historical documents written by Ahmad ibn Fadlan and wrote the novel Eaters of the Dead. Clayton said: "In the 10th century, Ibn Fadeland, who traveled in Central Asia, met a group of Norwegian warriors. Because few people have witnessed and recorded these legendary warriors, Fadeland has become history in the eyes of future generations. Writer. He is a astute and precise observer, and...

    Movie quotes

    • Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: [looking at piles and piles of skulls in the Wendol's cave] I was wrong. These are not men.

    • [Olga inspects Ibn's wound]

      Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: Ow!

      Olga: That's a woman's sound.

      Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: Do that again and you'll make it.

    • [after the battle is over, Ahmed sleeps with Olga]

      Herger the Joyous: Did she finish you off or bring you back to life?

      Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: A gentleman doesn't discuss such things.
