    He couldn't unsheathe the sword to kill his uncle initially ALSO because the sword can only be used at night, being the Night Blade and all, and it was just turning dawn at that moment. You can hear a rooster crow in the background of that scene.

    I know you’re being ironic making fun of the “real cinema” bros who can’t stand MCU films and eat up stuff like this but guess what, they’re right. I don’t know how you can walk out of the theater after seeing a film like this and say to yourself “I can’t wait for the next dull directed poorly lit flatly shot colored graded like a parking lot commercial for the next commercial” that is the modern Marvel movie landscape.

    Heard Eggers describe Amleth’s berserker raider period as his “Hakuna Matata phase” which is just perfect.
    Also, the rule with the sword was that it can only be unsheathed at night or at the gates of Hel.

  • @Epitective
    @Epitective 2 года назад +6

    Soooo, I found the conversation about hallucinations very interesting. I decided to do a bit of research, and found that Vikings had a tendency to get really high before battle, to put them on a state of constant rage.
    The combination of the drug, the battle induced adrenaline, and injuries can contribute to severe fatigue after it all went down. To the point of being in a zombie-like state. A state of being awake and asleep at the same time. If you’ve experienced sleep paralysis, it is the same thing. This pretty much solidifies that every time he hallucinated, he was either on something, shifting between states of consciousness, or completely passed out.
    So pretty much, this movie could’ve been a biography of some viking warrior in that time period.

    • @JesusRodriguez-ib8hn
      @JesusRodriguez-ib8hn 2 года назад +3

      Yup, mainly Berserkers and Ulfhednar would eat psychedellic shrooms/henbane and would start going crazy before a battle. Once they were unleashed on the battlefield they were a force to be reckoned with. After battle depending on the injuries and psychedellic they used, it would leave them almost useless until they would recover.

    The game they're playing where they beat the shit out of each other is an older version of a sport called Hurling. You use a wooden paddle with a metal plate on it called a Hurl and hit a leather ball called a Sliothar. We still play it over in Ireland, though we do wear helmets and shin guards so you don't get mutilated by a strike in the face from a Hurl.

It is, this will be a movie I return to throughout my life. Didn’t even realize it was the director of The Lighthouse until after my first viewing. Sad that it’s failing in the box office but this will be one of those movies that lives on for decades.

      Yes, but she's also a manipulator and tried to seduce her own son who she tried to have killed when he was a child. I mean, a slave being raped is pretty bad, but trying to murder your own son who's innocent in that matter and then trying to seduce him as an adult is pretty damn messed up in its own right 😂. But that's why I love this movie, it's pretty brutal from beginning to end with not only its action, but it's themes and story.

    Alhelmet, (or whatever the fuk the northman's hamlet characters name is) uses his mystical sword right away, but ONLY at night.
    The reason he can't unsheathe it when saving his gf and getting beat up by three dudes, is because it's day time. ... same as why the guy missing his nose can't unsheathe the sword when he picks it up in the scene right after.
    And Aliemet can't unsheathe it the one time at night when he FIRST ATTEMPTS to kill his uncle, is because "magically" Aliemet and his uncle are supposed to fight at the volcano and it isn't time for the uncle to die yet...
    Other than that, Alielmet is using his magic sword during every nite time scene as soon as he gets it after having the vision of fighting the 8 foot tall skeleton zombie.
    Fat Tony, KEEP UP BROTHER!
    Also, review The Layer Cake with Daniel Craig. It's in the same vein as Snatch and Lock stock and two smoking barrels- I forget the directors name at the moment.
    Or do Hereditary... equally good/smart flick.
    ALSO, Props on not singing Bjork's "Army of me" (which is also featured in Suckerpunch with Emily browning and the guy that looks like Joaquin Phoenix... or maybe it IS Joaquin Phoenix in there... I don't remember)- but yea, Bjork and you NOT singing her songs- despite it being a decent song for clips and snipettes for specific movie scenes and such, Bjork is the ONLY artist I've EVER HEARD having a voice likened to that of a bobcat crying (that dis MAY even be a Simpsons reference if I'm not mistaken. BUT, I don't fact check SHIT, so I very well COULD BE)
