typical hero

Heroes are basically related to war in history, and the narratives about heroes are mostly based on one or several classic battles. As an epic hero, Beowulf did not escape this routine, war, women, desire, love, rights and repentance... A series of classic bridges have not fallen. If so, it would be unreasonable to blame the movie for its simple plot and simple characters.

If not to mention this Nordic fighting hero, even the historical texts of various heroes such as Confucius, Sun Bin, Xiang Yu and so on in ancient my country are mostly this routine. Worshiping heroes will naturally lead to mythological heroes, and then masking heroes. In the end, heroes are only related to a few episodes, and have little connection with the so-called historical reality, and there will be no too much research.

Beowulf is a typical hero, and this film does not try to restore the real life of the hero, but just conveys the praise and praise of the hero. As for how much deeper meaning this film has, it is up to the viewers to figure it out for themselves. Andersen's fairy tales also have many profound meanings, but do you have to think so deeply every time you appreciate them? At least I don't want to.

Now some directors or writers often use the restoration of the real life of heroes or great men as a gimmick, which is really meaningless. If heroes are like ordinary people and are known about all aspects of eating, drinking, and Lhasa, how can they continue to be placed in history books or placed in temples for people to admire and worship. A hero is a hero, and a hero does not need to be real. .
