The first half of the film was a bit procrastinated, so I watched it patiently, perhaps to accumulate emotions for the later plot development.
Seeing the second half, the climax is coming, the grand scene production, and the touching emotions,
Beowulf told us that a hero is an ordinary person first before being a hero! He is an ordinary person who has a heroic plot, desire for power, and is also unable to control the temptation of beauty!
In the process of becoming a hero, Beowulf in the film has spent his entire life. In his long life, he has indeed done a lot of praiseworthy things, killing the monster, the son of the former king, but because of this Bearing the knot in his life, the more people praised his heroic deeds, the more he could not forget the stains in his life! In his heart, he was tortured by the hero's name for most of his life. Surrender to the banshee in the cave, have a relationship with her, and lead to the next disaster! That's the old curse.
Finally, when he was old, the curse of reincarnation came back to him, and the old Beowulf chose to face it this time and chose to fight, not only for his people, but also for the sake of him. Worthy of his own heart, in the end, he is not a hero in his own heart, from the day he succumbed to the banshee, he has missed the hero until he died, fighting the fire-breathing golden dragon, we can see To a very complete and fleshy character, he is not a hero, he just wants to follow his heart and do one thing well! Make up for his regrets and fight with all his strength. He knows that what he broke with his own hands is his son's heart, but he still does it. He is not ruthless. What he loves most in his life is his wife, and he still cares about his friends. ! But at this moment, he can only continue this matter. Facing his son, although he loves and loves, he still works hard. I think this is one of the spirits of heroes.
In the tangled repentance of his life, he fought bravely in the end and saved his lover. At the last moment of his life, I guess he was just annoyed at killing his own son, not complacent because he was a hero who was sent by others.
