You are quite correct they did have him play an ulfhednar…who was in and odenic cult there were ulfhednars and berserkers…but that’s about as close as they I believe berserker translates something like bear shirt
Fricking awesome tribute. This was easily one of the best movies I've watched in the past decade, was horrifying as well without even trying to be. Just an unfiltered time capsule back to those brutal brutal times. Those times hardened our ancestors like steel and you couldn't complain about anything, in fact you'd probably be more grateful for the small things in life.
Times were indeed hard, but for as high quality as this film is, I still would be careful of viewing it as historically accurate. Certain aspects are, but much of this film is very dramatised. But then, that is more or less the entire point. It isn’t really supposed to necessarily be a period piece. Our northern forebears were certainly tough, but this film only shows one dimension of their hardships and amplifies it through a more modern, 21st century blood n’ guts filter. Our northern ancestors, contrary to popular mythos, were not all raiders that went viking. And even those that did were not the crazed psychopaths they are constantly pigeonholed as being. They could also be very kind, generous, benevolent, and good-natured. They weren’t all vengeance-seeking, power-hungry, slash ‘em up-style berserkers. There is, unfortunately, this very strange and spurious slasher film-meets-heavy metal aesthetic that always seems to be unfairly imposed onto the ancient Norse folk and I feel that is very unfounded. It leads people to think they were a bunch of dumb, ignorant, bloodthirsty boneheads that went around looking for trouble.
@@charlesmaximus9161 you're right, I should be more wary to take any movie as being 'historically accurate' lol. And it is a bit one dimensional. Certainly there would've been kindness and civility back then, and in some instances even more than today. The violence where it did exist was probably just more as a means to obtaining something.
@@darko-man8549 I didn't see it, but wasn't it out for a limited time only? It was also effected by COVID too because theaters had to follow COVID rules when it came to how many people were allowed in the theater, so that probably didn't help things either.
You must choose between the love for your kindred and the hate for your enemy! There is no escaping your fate or live forever in dishonor. Remember the oath to right the wrong.
He chose both... he went back to finish the job instead of "escaping" to Ireland. He needed to cut that final thread to remove the threat that someone like him wouldn't one day appear to wreck vengeance upon his kids
Alas, the Vikings are no more. They've allowed/invited the Barbarian hordes to invade their countries, ravage their woman and lands. Soon the legend too will be forgotten.
@@NOGIMXCHAEL Not to mention there are the various viking burial mounds in different countries, I doubt people will just allow others to flatten the mound and erase part of that areas centuries-old history.
They should have used the Scandinavian form Amloði, rather than Amleth, which derives from the Latinized "Amlethus" in Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus.
You know, I am not sure if anyone else thought about this, but what if his father, since he was dying, set all of this in motion so he would die in battle and how it was messed up if he got away.
Still tooo much Hollywood in this movie. Many scenes just have too much unrealistic action in them. Also the fact that a cattle breeder in his mid-50s living 1000 years ago (and not in modern times with modern medicine, health insurance, fitness programmes etc.) can swing his sword in a way to severely threaten a battle-hardened young man in his 20s is just UNREALISTIC. Not to mention the almost supernatural-like killing spree of the protagonist, like he was a serial killer in a Hollywood thriller - void of any realism. Otherwise an impressive portrait of a rough, dark, uncompromising revenge crusade.
It was fairly culturally accurate but made no attempts to explain them... even I'll concede that it was a much worse movie the first watch through than the second through & I'm one who understands (at least intellectually) the culture. It's not a modern tale made for a modern audience... unlike the Hamlet version which was updated to the modern standards of 18th century English morality.
Love how they made Alexander Skårsgard an ulfhednar aka Viking special forces just like berserkers
Finally someone got it right with him being Ulfhednar. Skol
I just wanted to say thankyou for this comment never heard of an ulfhednar

Ulfhednar although belonged 0:24
The special forces of norway
The most amazing adaptation of a Viking saga ever!
viking theatre
100%
Which saga is this adapted from?
@@Chadius_Thundercock the saga of amleth i think
This and Vinland Saga

i love the berserker scene in the campfire.
Followed by the axe and seax
Ulfhednar
Love the use of Wardruna - I think they'd have done a brilliant job on the soundtrack - their music is perfect
Epic movie and also epic tribute! Good job brother!
Thank you so much brother Glad you liked it :)
can't argue with Danes and IKEA, Iceland :P
Northman was a good movie, so was this edit
Yeah Northman is so underrated better than most of these movies out nowadays 🙏🙏🙏
@@Grinch92 I completely agree
I think it got hit by really poor marketing - it was the Viking's Gladiator - a simple plot with amazing cinematography, acting & soundtrack@@Grinch92

Wardruna with Amleth 🖤
This is the greatest video I have ever seen...
Alas, the Vikings are no more. They've allowed/invited the Barbarian hordes to
invade their countries, ravage their woman and lands.

They will NEVER be forgotten. Their foot print in human history is permanent
Dublin was literally founded by Vikings. One of the biggest cities in Ireland. You can never erase that.

@@quietreader4190 never.
Favorite movie of all time, cant wait for the sequel
Why would there be a sequel there no more story to tell
Excellent edit Grinch, Scandis having a bad day....Tack.

This is the Shakespeare story of Hamlet, a Danish Prince.
hamlet was actually based after the story of amleth. which is a scandinavian legend, kinda cool tbh
so good!! i love this movie so much
Northern black magic, love it!
I listen to this before going to the gym or when I'm trying to reach a new a PR...
@@Ἰουστίνος-Μίλλερ niceeeee thanks 🤩
By far my favorite northman and viking music edit
Самый лучший фильм последних лет .

This film is the reason I pushed to get qualified to used weapons as a SPACT performer on film and tv
It’s such a brilliant film, that’s awesome ! Congratulations 🎉

The yanks love ruining history
Ancient people were built different
Its a movie inspired by an epic ofc its unrealistic xD

There were parts of this movie that were so badass but there were also so many holes and boring/stupid sequences that made it unwatchable.
It was fairly culturally accurate but made no attempts to explain them... even I'll concede that it was a much worse movie the first watch through than the second through & I'm one who understands (at least intellectually) the culture. It's not a modern tale made for a modern audience... unlike the Hamlet version which was updated to the modern standards of 18th century English morality.
Dang that was on crack, should have watched this movie 🤦 was that bjork?
