If I hadn't touched the text first, the feeling of this movie might not have been so shocking. Beowulf is an epic of the Anglo-Saxons in the Middle Ages, but this film is a modern interpretation and interpretation of human nature. To put it bluntly, the shell is still that shell, but the inner core has been changed "unrecognizable". Everything is "famous from the teacher". Perhaps this is the modern people's desire to use a logic to explain the chaotic state of mind. To be honest, this is also true for me. So in terms of the interpretation of the story, I undoubtedly prefer the movie, because it is not like the sentence in the text, "He can't stand the day after day feast in the Deer Hall, the sweet harp, and the loud singing voice." The motives of the Danes, of course, I do not deny that this is precisely the way of thinking of people who have been with modern times for more than a thousand years when they create "story". Just from an aesthetic point of view, the adaptation is pleasing to a spectator like me-even if it is based on the theme of "revenge". When it comes to the heaviness behind revenge, it can probably involve endlessness. Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is a master, and in the "Iliad" Kohler Marcos also has the idea of "revenging" Odysseus... Is revenge a manifestation of the commanding heights of human morality? Endow human beings with awe-inspiring morality and justice? It is undeniable that many dramatists who have lived forever have this tendency. Therefore, under the driving force of Grendel to avenge his father, it is difficult to criticize Grendel's so-called "cruel", and through Beowulf's words he also revealed the fact that Grendel never killed the elderly, women, or children. I have to say that the film seems to be deliberately subverting this kind of solidified "character image." I like this kind of uncertainty in human nature. No one can simply be frozen with a label of good or bad. Yes, even heroes do. The heroic and combative Germanic hero Beowulf seems to be a bit more ordinary. He has no insight into the truth about Grendel's killing of the Danes, and he will hesitate to question; he faces the pretty and cold witch Salma, There is also a physical impulse to be a man. What makes me deeply unforgettable is the conversation between Beowulf and Salma on that ambiguous night. Grendel killed Beowulf’s good friend, but Salma threw out this sentence to the heartbroken Beowulf: You feel sad because your good friend died, but if this person is with you Doesn't matter? The value of life seems to be a circle formed with self as the center and contact with the outside world as the radius. A sentence of Salma may be the overtone of this film. Yes, it is dissolving absolute heroism, absolute distinction between good and evil, and absolute right and wrong. If you ask me to locate the corresponding video for this video History, I think it contains more of the humanity awakened during the Renaissance, full of the brilliance of reason. Beowulf’s questioning and swaying of the king was a process of searching for the truth. This process was not a superpower conferred by the gods, but a journey of exploration as a “human”. Perhaps this is the interpretation of modern heroes. It is not the brute force that wins glory to create a hero, but to explore the truth behind the bravery, which is everything. Speaking of Yuan Yu, it seems that this is the responsibility of religion, but in the film, there is a somewhat ambiguous mockery of the attitude towards Christianity. Pastor Brendan, the Wandering Pastor, is a clown-like existence. Although people disagree with the strange words and behaviors, the body honestly did what the pastor said. The clutter, like a farce, made me think that this might have the effect of adjusting the atmosphere in the film. There is also the religious heresy mentioned-Cain is the ancestor of Grendel, so Grendel has also become a heresy. In the last scene of Yuanfan's sailing, when Beowulf's companions were imagining their deeds in the post-population, one of them said: Cain is a murderer, who said we are not murderers? Let’s talk about epics: An interesting topic that Chinese people talk about is "Why the ancient Western literature is mostly based on epics, but the Han people seem to have never had such a treasure." Of course, the use of Han people here also implies Tibetans. "The Biography of King Gesar" is like this. In fact, there is no need to make a big fuss. The history of human literature and even the entire history of development has its own trajectory. The "Odyssey" and "Iliad" of the Western Homer and even the medieval "Beowulf", "Song of Roland" and "Song of Nibelungen" have endured for a long time. The majestic has not been damaged by time. So, watching the prosperous literature on the other side of the ocean, we seem to be worried, but is such inferiority really necessary? You can also see that the distant poem 300 has echoed from more than two thousand years ago. Although the pre-Qin prose does not have the epic grandeur, it exudes the brilliance of logic and wisdom. Although the prose is unavoidably boring, its splendor is no less than Epic, even more in vain to mention the pinnacle of literature such as Tang poetry and Song poetry. A region breeds a kind of literature, and the conditions for this breeding are closely related to the economic, geopolitical, and natural conditions. I think the liberal arts knowledge in high school is more than enough, although it is inevitable in general, but the basic core is like this.
