In 2007, it was very rare that a movie rooted in epic and fully CG could be made like this.
The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are considered jewels, and their popularity has prompted such a rule: gorgeous stunts alone cannot make the audience buy it, so the main creators who continue the past need to show some deep things under the gorgeous coat. able to gain market access. However, the hastily written script in response to the call of commercial films obviously cannot construct a rigorous world view and ingenious plot arrangement in a short period of time (whether it is Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings, it is not achieved overnight), therefore, based on Classic fantasy novels and legends have become the mainstream of the development of fantasy movies today.
Although the prototype of Beowulf is based on the ancient Norse hero, the play is actually based on a novel of the same name. Not only does it use breathtaking and gorgeous CG technology, but also the depth of the plot and the meaning of the performance bring the audience's thinking far greater than one hour and forty minutes.
The Beowulf in the film is actually a transition of an era, connecting the redemption of the previous era and the continuation of another cycle after realizing self-redemption. The end of the film seems to tell the audience that the infinite and simple cycle of injustice stems from all kinds of desires and desires in the world: love, power, rights, and glorious achievements, and the hero's repentance and final determination are just proofs. Your own remorse for your mistakes and the redemption of your own soul.
This film is full of strong religious colors, but it is also very easy to understand and resonate. It is definitely an outstanding work in the magical film circle at that time. And the ending of this film is even more intriguing. Faced with the temptation of desire again, can the new era withstand the temptation? In the light and darkness of human hearts, how should a new monarch choose?
