This is a classic Shakespeare trope, the fool is always the smartest person. Bro literally predicted everything at the start and everyone thought he was joking
"I will father, I will! My blade will not rest till it's drunk the blood from his open neck!"..... and the music.... chills man. This movie is so metal.
At every passage one should turn his eye ‘round, one should spy ‘round-wise in measure should each man be, and wise enough to be the fool. Never seek the secrets of women but, heed them always.
I like how one of the guys on the tree is wearing a Roman helmet with a crest like one of his ancestors travelled to the empire as a mercenary. Nice detail.
Eggart is an autist, he did the viking trophe as absolutely authentic to the sources as it could be done. This scene is about the Curios, the young men being thrown out of society to become beasts rather than men. Meaning, entering a different moral universe, that can not sustain society but it is expert at conquering others.
Well actually is a goth crested helmet. It is really well placed due to the fact that they lived in scandinavia before vendel period (the time during the movie).
Same. Like, Robert Eggers' last movie had a ton of farts. Why did he use that stock fart sound effect when he had a full fart foley library at his disposal?
Fun fact, this wasn’t actually in the script. This is just what Defoe did when Robert Eggers came to ask him if he’d be in the movie. Luckily they were able to get it on camera and they used Camera trickery to add Hawke and the kind actor into the scene.
At every passage, one should turn his eye around, one should spy around, for a foe might be crouched with him upon the floor. Wise in measure should each man be, yet wise enough to be the fool. And live always without fear, for your fate is set and you cannot escape it.
This scene tries to communicate what is known about a culture that was more than 3000 years old when Christianity ended it. Then "Nuts" comes pretty close to describe "Odin is fury in all of its forms", as the Bishop of Bremen put it.
The idea of the wise fool is one that has always been with us, especially in European cultures. Even in Christianity, we have this; the ascetic tradition of the Holy Fools. In fact, that famous cathedral in Moscow, Saint Basil’s - you know the one, the one with all the brightly multicoloured onion domes - is named in his honour. Interestingly, icons of Saint Basil look almost identical to that of Heimir. The Holy Fools would deliberately act like madmen and lead people into believing they were basically lowlifes and homeless degenerates. They would behave in strange, antisocial ways, often speaking in riddles. But always, there was a deep and mystical point to quite literally everything that they said and did. On the outside, they appeared as the most wretched and ridiculous of all men, but in secret, they were the closest to God. Many even had the gift of clairvoyance. Most of all, they were protected by the kings of the day, despite their behaviours. I found it rather interesting that War-Raven immediately stepped in to defend Heimir, despite his joke being so crude and offensive. Had it been anyone else, it would have been a death sentence. This is exactly how Tsar Ivan IV “the Terrible” defended Saint Basil, who would, at times, admonish the Tsar in public.
2:06 Really what this is, is a local leader passing lessons down to his son with the help of a community elder. A lot of men are missing this nowadays. I’m not trying to be funny either.
I think the fart seen was straight gangster straight man shit straight savage warrior animal type shit . not to mention the most important moment he had with his father probable. Genius level acting
Was Willem Dafoe on his lunch break from THE LIGHTHOUSE, or does Eggers just love making the human face grotesque (even Anya Taylor Joy’s in THE WITCH)?
All the women and black people in the comments that cannot comprehend the significance of concepts like honor, familial bloodlines, justice, etc and just think “willem defoe is a weird freak” in the a “weird action movie”.
Why assume that women and black people can't understand these concepts? Anyone can be blind to these concepts it doesn't matter what gender or nationality they are. Honor, familial bloodlines, and justice effect every human and is the reason why so many ancient civilizations and cultures have the same archetypes and concepts even if they appear in a way you aren't used to.
5000 BC arose a culture on the Pontic steppe. That used to throw its young men out of society, where they went through a ritual, leaving humanity, becoming ravenous beasts. This culture, the Yamnaya, conqoured all of the known world and beyond. Descendents of their language is the most widespread language spoken on earth today. So even if this scene comes out as cringe today, it is the most serious attempt in Hollywood history to depict the most important ritual in human history, the ritual that shaped what we all are today. The ritual of the Curio, the descent from being human into becoming a canine predator.
The most normal Willem Dafoe moment
Sheer genius
I love how Willem is one of the nicest dudes in Hollywood but then in his movies he always plays a complete freak
And nails it perfectly
This is a classic Shakespeare trope, the fool is always the smartest person. Bro literally predicted everything at the start and everyone thought he was joking
The fool is greater than the intellect.
William the Bard what a wit
Mom : go play with the neighbors kids
The neighbors kids:
BAZA
😂😂😂😂
”Who barks?! Is it the wolves of the High One? Or is it the barking of the village dogs?”. Fucking amazing scene.
"I will father, I will! My blade will not rest till it's drunk the blood from his open neck!"..... and the music.... chills man. This movie is so metal.
Everyone was so hype about the Ulfhednar ritual but this was truly the best scene of the movie.
I love this scene. Felt so mentally intense. I love all the hints that show they’re all high on hallucinogens.
I don’t think it’s hinted, it’s blatant 😂
"drink the vision mead of knowledge"
Watch it on shrooms
At every passage one should turn his eye ‘round, one should spy ‘round-wise in measure should each man be, and wise enough to be the fool. Never seek the secrets of women but, heed them always.
@@geraltofrivia287 I did last night. Only reason I’m here 🤣
Love the hallucinatory state that Eggers builds up his scenes too he did it brilliantly in certain moments in The Witch and Lighthouse as well
He must be a big Kubrick fan
Amleth farting was indeed clever, I think it was trying to show the audience that he wasn't just trying to copy his father.
I like how one of the guys on the tree is wearing a Roman helmet with a crest like one of his ancestors travelled to the empire as a mercenary. Nice detail.
This is probably during or before Romans. It probably was Greek. Good catch on that one
This is probably around after the Western Roman Empire since they mention Christian slaves
@@Diedoulsdie.2. no this is the Viking age, definitely after the fall of the Roman empite

I like to think that this ritual is just part of Willem Dafoes weekly routine.
I love the words of Heimir
Walk always without Fear, for your fate is set and you can not escaped
Fate*
2:56 Almost a Spider-Man reference
AVENGE ME!
I can't be the only one to notice that there is a freaking werewolf in the family tree at 5:08???
I do not see it
Wtf there is
Nice catch, it may be symbolism or it truly might be they have wolf blood in some pagan magic way
could simply be he is wearing a Wolf Cloak like a Berserker.
@@MrChickennugget360 that'd be awesome
1:00 According to Robert Eggers, the hallucinogen in the bowl was Henbane.
"If I should fall by my enemy's sword, you must avenge me!"
Priest: "Yes! Avenge him!"
Honestly, that fart really took me out of this otherwise intense scene.
Lol.. Eggers has a thing for farting
Same. Like, Robert Eggers' last movie had a ton of farts. Why did he use that stock fart sound effect when he had a full fart foley library at his disposal?
such a ridiculously cartoonish sound effect that we've heard in a million other things
Dafoe should have said "Look at ye, farting!"
I just wish they'd have used a more realistic fart sound
Fun fact, this wasn’t actually in the script. This is just what Defoe did when Robert Eggers came to ask him if he’d be in the movie. Luckily they were able to get it on camera and they used Camera trickery to add Hawke and the kind actor into the scene.
Fun fact, these kind of comments are now overdone.
Lol they just give willem some mushrooms and leave him in his underwear
In Cavern with a camera on record.
At every passage, one should turn his eye around, one should spy around, for a foe might be crouched with him upon the floor.
Wise in measure should each man be, yet wise enough to be the fool.
And live always without fear, for your fate is set and you cannot escape it.
Why they use stock fart sound #3 tho?😂
Willem Dafore's Character is very completely Nuts!

nah hes just philosophical

Watching this movie with my parents was truly an experience
1:30 admit it. You were all laughing in cinema.
I snorted thats about it

Yeah man! Initiation ritual - the boy dies and the man is born.
Blade drinking the blood from his open neck is literally how the movie ends
This is how Aaron Rodgers prepares for each season.
Realest shit I’ve seen all day
I was high watching this in the cinema and this scene fucked me up
This scene balanced being badass and hilarious perfectly
5:08 is the Werewolf
I think it’s supposed to be a ulfhednar warrior but great catch! Always finding something new every watch I do.
thanks
Imagine if Shrek, Pumbaa, and Sonic The Hedgehog (from his 2020 film) did a Burping/Farting Contest with these guys.
The Northman is Pewdiepie
I think the fart seen was straight gangster straight man shit straight savage warrior animal type shit . not to mention the most important moment he had with his father probable. Genius level acting
This is the funniest shit I’ve read today
He did not heed his woman, he did not see the foe crouching on the floor. He was a fool.
Smart script.
Reminds me of the DMT trip 🥲
Shit I still can't see him in the beard lol
3:05
Was Willem Dafoe on his lunch break from THE LIGHTHOUSE, or does Eggers just love making the human face grotesque (even Anya Taylor Joy’s in THE WITCH)?
Why burping and farting proves you're not a dog?
Not only is he a man, he dines like a king!
I was sad that he died in the film hes like a crazy ass uncle your parents never invite even tho you thinks hes funny af
Those native American books that teach you. Just believe it man.
The fart was such a turn off lmao. Completely took me out of the scene
Too real 4 U NPC 666777?
Why? We all do it.
Not enough Scandinavian "Rs" from the Americans
Just a bunch of homeys hotboxing and having a smoke circle. Nothing special.
i am one of thirty people who dislike this
HOW ARE SO MANY PEOPLE LIKING THIS? THIS IS HORRIBLE
You don't get true cinema, farting is an important part of becoming a king.
@@pelotaconhambre380that and knowledge of swallows.

Oh look, a racist misogynist who thinks he's cerebral lol.
lol the movies purpose is to point out that most Viking “kings”(petty kings) were just glorified slave raiders. 😂
Dog scene was so cringey hard to watch. Ugh 😆😖
