Hero from another angle

Information found: The long poem "Beowulf" was written in England in the 8th century. It tells that Beowulf experienced three important battles in his life: once when he was young, he killed the giant Grande who endangered the country; The second time was fighting the mother of the giant Grande, who chased into the lake and beheaded her; the third time was when he was old, fighting the fire dragon that endangered the country, and was seriously injured and died with him. I have only seen the movie, and the movie also tells about the three important battles in Beowulf's life, but some monsters do not seem to be descendants of Cain in the original book, but have some relationship with Beowulf. This film interprets the concept of a hero from another angle.

Beowulf quotes

  • Unferth: Good night, Beowulf. Watch out for sea monsters. I'm sure your imagination must be teeming with them.

  • Yrsa: They say he ripped the monster's limb off with his bare hands.

    Gitte: [giggles] I wonder if Beowulf's strength is only in his arms, or in his legs as well... all three of them

    [both giggle]

    Wealthow: Well, after the feast tonight I'm sure you can find out, Gitte.

    Gitte: Me? It's not me he wants, my queen.
