Or back to the movie itself, the prototype of this movie comes from the British epic of the same name. And Beowulf is (bee+wolf) to describe Beowulf with a wolf that eats honey, that is, a bear. From the picture of the movie, it reminds me of Superman fighting monsters and many scenes in the movie have this feeling. The invincible Beowulf beats the monsters with both hands, and the monsters are very clumsy. If you ask a Hong Kong martial artist to guide you, I believe the picture will be much better. To be honest, the fighting scenes in this movie are really bad, such as Beowulf and Julian (friends who like 3C know - Demon Hunter) swim in a swimming competition, and the scene where the sea monster appears during the period is almost linked to the cartoon. , In addition, the production method of this movie is to use tracking close to CG. I don't understand the proper term. It's still the superman fighting monsters. Even in the later Dragon Slaying, that is, he is constantly clawing people and throwing people, but he does not have the vigor of thousands of troops. Of course, there is still some urgency for the photographer to make the audience, and the appearance of the golden dragon is not bad. If everyone judges this movie as a general blockbuster (look at the pictures, look at the scene, look at the stars), it is unqualified, but if you regard it as an ethical film, it is qualified, if it is a suspense film, it is quite It's not bad.
If you have an understanding of Norse mythology, I believe this movie will bring you a movie that combines the age of mythology with the age of Christ. Now I have to say that the most exciting part of the movie is a giant at the beginning. Going to attack the old king's party, but it's too ugly to insert a sentence here, maybe the director wants to highlight the image of Jinlong, but it's too prominent. When Beowulf killed the giant one night after his brothers were all killed by the giant's mother, he asked the king if he could not kill him with a single hand? The king said that this is what the giant's mother said, and then Beowulf said, do I have to kill his uncle and aunt, how many relatives does he have, the king said, killing his mother is enough, and then Beowulf asked that As for his father, the king said, the giant's father would not harm mankind. Then in the movie, when Beowulf exchanged conditions with the Kraken, there was a picture of a similar sexual act, and it was no longer a word. Later, in the dialogue between the king and Beowulf, the old king's secret was revealed. At this time, the movie picture is that the old king removed the crossbar in the middle of the big bed and said: You should do your duty, the kingdom needs a prince. But later the old king found that he still didn't lift it, and knew that Beowulf didn't kill the siren. When the scene turns to the king and Beowulf having a grand celebratory dinner, ask Beowulf to speak alone. The dialogue of the conversation revealed a logical relationship, the king did not lift the Kraken until he died, and then in the dialogue of the old king, he kept asking whether Beowulf had killed the Kraken, and the whereabouts of the golden horn (wine cup), he said, that Not my nightmare anymore, apparently someone inherited his nightmare. Then the picture returned to the dinner, and the old king announced: The kingdom after my death, my beautiful queen, belongs to Beowulf. Not long after that, I went to jump into the sea. In fact, the old king was very sinister. He couldn't kill the Kraken anyway. He was too old, and because of Buzu, he simply died. At the same time, Beowulf was also cursed by that -- Buzu.
Then there is another question, why the same mother and the same human father, why one is a golden dragon and the other is a giant, the difference is the golden horn, in the movie the siren asks Beowulf to give her the golden horn, it will make Beowulf Becoming a king, and the movie also explained some of the battle scenes, including the tribal leader who dared not attack him in front of him. Some netizens think that this means that Beowulf will not die with the help of the Kraken, but why can the old king dance? What about sea death? So I think it's just saying that the Kraken promised to help him become king without the offer of immortality.
In the movie, the curse of not being lifted is also strengthened. When the young girl admired Beowulf and wanted to give herself to Beowulf, Beowulf refused, and later his son (Golden Dragon) also said, I will kill you old but wise The queen is still your young bed partner first, and the focus is on the bed partner, which also highlights that when he has intercourse with the siren, he can no longer have sex with humans - it can be regarded as no move. The logic obtained is that there will be no meeting with the Kraken, and when there is a golden horn, a golden dragon will be born, or a giant will be born, but no matter whether the golden dragon or the giant is, he will kill his father. The question is how did the old king get the golden horn. I haven't seen the original mythological version of Beowulf, so I can only quote a netizen's inference without research, that the old king killed the husband of the siren and got the golden horn.
I just talked about the age of mythology and the age of Christ, and the old king's counselor in the movie, some film critics also said that his history (killing his brother) is not known from a character in a certain biblical story, and the counselor in the movie has already became a priest. And Beowulf also said that the age of heroes is over, and the age of gods has come. Here it is reflected that under the spread of Christianity, the original Norse mythology will be destroyed by Christianity. And the truth is that Norse mythology has died out in Scandinavia, and only the cold frozen island - Iceland's poets are still singing.
