Just watched the movie, I love that they didn't "Dumb" anything down to appeal to a wider audiences. The accents are thick, the language is Shakespearean and you never quite know what is real and what is a dream sequence, love it.
I was an extra on this film and I have to say...the cast and crew...right to the very top with Robert...couldn't have been nicer. It's nice to see a lot of these faces again. Folk who I had the pleasure of working with. Thank you all. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of such an incredible thing.
Wow!!! How lucky are you?!!! This will be a other film that stands the test of time! What a memory you will have! Awesome! I can’t help but think that’s like… as if I was an extra in Gladiator!
I'm just a "card carrying" film and tv extra. There's a company here in Ireland called the Extras Dept. They're free to sign up to and, once you're on their books, if they feel you're the one for the job, they'll reach out to see if you're available. I've done this, some Game of Thrones, etc. Hopefully there will be more work coming soon. There's a lot going on i the Irish movie industry of late. Cheers.
Eggers helped turn Ana Taylor Joy into a star. Eggers has to be the most sought out Director to work with because everything he touches turns into gold. It’s great to see actors recognize his brilliance and say what we are all thinking when we watch his movies.
@@cyncerevideos5111 He directed three films that people loved. So everything he touched has turned to gold. Nobody heard of Taylor before the witch. Maybe some film junkies knew her from other stuff but that's the movie she became known for. Anytime you hear her name the witch is attached to it.
Mr. Eggers, i've just watched Nosferatu, and i have to say, your work is keeping my faith alive in modern filmmaking. The Northman is my favorite, but i love all of your works. I thank you for them, and i hope you will make more masterpieces for us!
Can't wait to see anything he does.. including Nosferatu, The Knight, Rasputin.. the alchemist movie he's teased.. the western he's teased.. anything!!
Man this movie is just so beautiful. I can’t help but think about the kind sensitive man Amleth could have developed into if his life didn’t crumble around him at such a young age. He seemed like a happy and kind boy.
A great film. It's a shame that a project like this struggles to make a profit while mind numbing super hero movies drown in cash. A sign of the times. Great work for all who were a part of this film, thank you.
I think the box office failed to meet expectations but streams picked up the tab. A24 knows the value of Robert as a director he’ll get more projects for sure
@Jacob Moore I can agree with your Fiancée. The Lighthouse was an incredibly strange film, yet I ultimately enjoyed it. If the shots in this film are anything like the lighthouse's then I'm all for it.
I'm always astounded and happy when I hear great actors (DeFoe) talking so competently about the technical craft/side of filmmaking, it's really a symbiotic relationship and him understanding and appreciating another part of the art (aside from just acting) is really cool to see.
I've always liked Alex Skarsgard and felt he's never had a film to match his physicality and smoldering talent. This looks like his ticket: A mid-budget action epic about his own heritage, with the careful eye and precision of a director like Eggers. I hope this is as epic as it looks. We need more carefully considered action epics like this now. This is this year's Green Knight, but from what I'm seeing it may deliver even more so.
@@joeyondakeys Agree about the Green Knight. I didnt care for that movie at all. I felt it was being pretentious just for the sake of being pretentious and none of it fit the together or supported the narrative. This definitely shows how to do artistic filmmaking right. Your get surreal, artistic shots but it all fits within the context of the story and the characters.
@@joeyondakeys gotta say I also agree about green knight though I think it soars in a few scenes and the ending was pretty great for me. Overall a 6.5 out of 10. I will say I enjoy seeing movies like it getting made, as it embraces its weirdness and commits to its ambition. Glad to hear this is better I still haven't found time to watch it as I've been going to see everything everywhere all at once on repeat. This is already a badass year for genre films.
@@ann-christinenilsson4046 2020 had some great nominations due to a lack of big studio Oscar bait, particularly the sound of metal. I hope the academy starts nominating more cinephile friendly films in coming years it would honestly be good pr for them. Even though I haven't seen the northman it comes across as movie that will make some top ten lists but still get completely snubbed. But I've been surprised before.
@@jaycollins2036 Films like Black Panther and similar films have been nominated so if the critics give it an universal acclaim, it could do well within that area of awards, like best director, production design etc to acknowledge the handicraft of filmmaking.
Just watched last night.. - was raw, bloody, gritty, unforgiving, deep, philosophical, spiritual, powerful, dark… Perf. - It had what the story needed and more. Robert Eggers man… Always making the whole atmosphere feel so daunting, expansive, and evil. Like it’s always lurking and watching you. His movies uniquely give me that feeling.. Oh and the soundtrack was brilliant. Can’t wait for whatever he does next 👏
It was one of the greatest cinema going experiences of my life.. it was just so visceral and tangible. A real cinema experience that not even a few morons in the theatre could ruin, it was that powerful. Thank you Robert Eggers for another incredible masterpiece... keep 'em coming ;)
just looking at all these people being interviewed, how their hands move, the way they effortlessly explain the reasoning of their passion. You know that every actor/ production member is sincere and i just can't wait to see the fruit of that passion in theatres this friday. Lighthouse was the best movie of 2019 in my book, easy.
For sure. To hear a legend like Willem Dafoe praise the production and the director is fantastic. I’m seeing this tonight. Haven’t been this genuinely excited for a film in a real long time.
Why this movie or its protagonists didn't win an Oscar. I watch it a thousand times and I love it a thousand times more. Alexander and Anya did an extraordinary job as did the entire production team. At least for me as a viewer and fan of this project, I would have liked Amleth to stay alive and prepare his descendants who remained in power. How about a second part without changing the protagonists?
Robert Eggers has quickly turned into my favorite director. Lighthouse and The Northman has both been amazing movies and experiences. Also the way Eggers talks about filmmaking and how he strives for perfection and being historically accurate is breath of fresh air in todays movie industry. Now I just need to watch The Witch. Looking forward to future projects coming from this guy!
This is one of my favorite movies, Def top 5. I love how it blends reality with mythology especially the draugher, the night blade and the superstition of magic but them being poisoned with high potency mushrooms. It is just incredible
5:23 - 5:52 HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! If only other directors would do this with historically-based movies without feeling the need to add the modern perspectives of right & wrong. Strive to portray your subjects in the world _they_ lived in and not one that is a fake image of what we _think_ it should be. Robert Eggers is a breath of fresh air in movie making and I look forward to more from him.
This is the best movie I have watched in a while. I am really glad that they went for the historically accurate approach instead of making something vaguely resembling history.
This movie has entered my best 10 films list... from dialogues to background score and locations everything is perfect beyond expectations.beautiful film wow just wow ❤️..I really really want this movie to win an Oscar🤞
This film is a masterpiece. The terrifying depiction of shamanism, and the use of expert researchers shine through. It feels otherworldly, yet authentic all at once. It's core is so simple, but the artistry of the presentation excels. I just saw it, and it is lingering so much I just ordered a bunch of books on Amazon. Hahaha!
_“There’s probably too many nods to Conan [in The Northman] because I watched it so much as a kid. It was a seminal film for Sjón as well,” Eggers said. “I've definitely joked that it's like Conan the Barbarian meets Andrei Rublev, and I think neither Milius nor Tarkovsky would've liked this movie.”_ ~ Robert Eggers _"There are a lot of Conan references, I must admit. Many hat tips. I have been told by my PR team to keep it light, but this is in some ways what I am trying to do Conan the Barbarian via Andrei Rublev."_ ~ Robert Eggers
The movie has really stuck with me days later. At the time of watching I had some issues with the pacing, especially towards the end. But I am left with so much amazing imagery and powerful themes I have overall really appreciated what they did here
Just watched the movie yesterday and am I impressed with the sheer will of the main character's desire to take revenge despite the cost of his own life at the end. The actors' skills and expressions were truly amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better movie that centred around love, vengeance and gory action in the age of the Vikings.
Truly a shame that the movie didn't do well initially. One of the absolute best movies I've seen and it's definitely the best viking media out there. It deserves all the praise it gets and I think it'll definitely be talked about for a long time coming.
i didnt just watch this movie i felt every slash of the sword, every crashing wave and blare of the trumpeting horn i believed in this movie n i feel so happy at how rewarding this movie is, i cannot wait to see what Eggers does next, Skol and Hail
I would've watched this on theatres if it was available in my country. Apparently they don't release Eggers' films here in the cinema as well as other art films. Nevertheless, this was such a wild experience watching on digital. Can't believe they only used a single camera in the making of this Vikings-revenge film. Everything came out so beautifully crafted. Robert Eggers' vision is just so bewildering. I really feel like I'm in another world whenever I watch his films. He's a mastermind and I can't wait to see more from him. I've been a fan since I saw The Lighthouse way back.
With everything that Willem (specially him, what a wisdom this man have, the way he talks ohh.. I love him) Ethan, Alexander and all the production cast and crew said about eggers = DETAILS in visuals, story, etc Make me feel like when I heard actors talking about Kubrick.. and probably Nicole Kidman will make that comparation.. I'm totally sure haha (sorry if I made grammatical mistakes I'm learning..)
90 million, 2hour movie compared to 5 to 8 million an episode Vikings show.they don't have the worries that those cable TV shows have to deal with. I'm just happy for a 90 million dollar Viking movie. Lol
Enjoyed every moment of it! Music, acting and cast was truly something else and most of all authentic, movie doesn't shy away from culture and dark setting. 10/10 easily this year Batman and The Northman are my top picks.
I just watched the movie today (March 9th, 2023), and even on streaming, the epic feel just pushed right through, and you could feel immersed in the entire story. The production design, sets, costume, props, cinematography, plot, sound and acting are exquisitely genuine that you feel transported to a time where the viking saga felt so real. Kudos to Robert and his entire team and most especially to the actors and actresses who were equally amazing in their portrayal of their roles. Alexander is one of my top 5 favorite actors of all time and with such a star-studded cast, each one of them made the characters come to life magically. I have a newfound respect for their craft and ability to breathe life into the story and iconography. The details sewn into each aspect of the movie made it surreal. I wish to see more movies with this kind of calibre and historic retelling.
I’m so excited to go watch this in the movie theater, I have been waiting since the day it was announced, loved Eggers first two films, love that he brought back Anya and William, love everyone in the Skarsgard family so to see Alexander is such a treat and LOVE Bjork, this movie is a big pot of excellence!
Just finished seeing this movie on the big screen. I will never forget it! Doing some history reading about England in the 10th Century. "The Ecclesiastical History of England by the Venerable Bede! Lots of Viking raids at the time. Also my girl friend is Danish with the golden blond hair. Now I want to buy her a helmet just to spice things up!
I’m a practicing Odinist and we know when someone is just doing a cash grab on our religion, history and culture. This movie looks amazing and from the outside looks like it pays honor to the historical context. It’s comforting to know that Alexander cried because I started tearing up watching the trailer for like 20th time lol We have our whole family and several Kinsmen meeting us up to watch this. I’m so grateful for their authenticity ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Those scenes with the sea and the tree, the family line, the raven master, the valkyrie riding, MAN I was almost brought to tears with those scenes. This film is definitely something else. Didn't wanted to be too clear describing the scenes so I don't spoil it for the folks!
A mad, violent, feverish revenge flick that blurs the line between grounded historical fiction and lurid folklore. It's not for everyone; a lot of you will hate it. But watch it anyway - like all great art, it needs to be experienced for the experience's sake.
It might just be hype but judging by William Dafoes analogy of this film along with the amount of details in the locations I pretty sure I'll go see this twice in the theater. Something I haven't done in like forty years.
Just watched the movie, I love that they didn't "Dumb" anything down to appeal to a wider audiences. The accents are thick, the language is Shakespearean and you never quite know what is real and what is a dream sequence, love it.
Same here! Incredible movie
How? I thought it wasn’t out yet
@@tinygun7773 It's out in select theatres in the UK, don't know about the rest of the world.
It's so brutal and glorious. I hope people go out to the cinema to support this one.
@@tinygun7773 movies always come out the day before for early showings
I was an extra on this film and I have to say...the cast and crew...right to the very top with Robert...couldn't have been nicer. It's nice to see a lot of these faces again. Folk who I had the pleasure of working with. Thank you all. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of such an incredible thing.
You lucky bastard, that sounds amazing. This film looks amazing.
Wow!!! How lucky are you?!!! This will be a other film that stands the test of time! What a memory you will have! Awesome! I can’t help but think that’s like… as if I was an extra in Gladiator!
Can I ask how you got involved? Did you just kind of fall into the opportunity or are you an actor doing extra work until you break into bigger work?
I'm just a "card carrying" film and tv extra. There's a company here in Ireland called the Extras Dept. They're free to sign up to and, once you're on their books, if they feel you're the one for the job, they'll reach out to see if you're available. I've done this, some Game of Thrones, etc. Hopefully there will be more work coming soon. There's a lot going on i the Irish movie industry of late.

Saw this yesterday it is absolutely incredible! Few films have this type of effect on you. Great work!
"A thousand details has a gravitational pull towards excellence." Damn Ethan Hawke, you have a way with words.
He speaks sooo well. He was the best of the video! :D
I’ve heard him discuss roles he’s done before. He really has a way with words and you can tell he has a strong passion for his talent
he knows
He was in the Dead Poets Society, so he would have a way with words lol
"thankee"
This was the best film I've seen in a long time. Doesn't hold back or treat you like an idiot. I love Egger's films
I agree, Best film I've seen in years.
You should check out everything everywhere all at once, it's also amazing
exactly, and its a pure film with no political propaganda.

Eggers or the Safdie Brothers. Though they haven’t really “discovered” someone like Robert has with Anya
ATJ turned herself into a star.
Taylor been a star. And dude only directed three films
She's a super star . I so love her

I love how Robert even mentions Dune as something to watch on cinema. Truly shows how he just loves moves and making it is his life imitating art
I love hearing all the cast and crew speaking so highly of Eggers' work.
The sets are so good that it even looks like a film with bts cameras. No green screens. All practical and tangible.
Can't wait to see anything he does.. including Nosferatu, The Knight, Rasputin.. the alchemist movie he's teased.. the western he's teased.. anything!!
Omg, he’s doing a Rasputin movie?! That’s going to be insane.
when did he tease alchemy?
No way
Nosferatu with Bill Skarsgard! I can't wait
i don't think i've been this excited to see a movie for years
Same!!!
SAME
Man this movie is just so beautiful. I can’t help but think about the kind sensitive man Amleth could have developed into if his life didn’t crumble around him at such a young age. He seemed like a happy and kind boy.

A great film. It's a shame that a project like this struggles to make a profit while mind numbing super hero movies drown in cash. A sign of the times. Great work for all who were a part of this film, thank you.
I believe this film will be talked about longer than superhero films.

Amen.
I'll add to the other comments and say haven't been this excited for a movie in a while. Egger's first two features are great

Man Ethan Hawke seems like the coolest mellowest dude on the planet.
My thought exactly 🙂
I have met him several times( Ethan Hawke )he is a very underrated actor. Can't wait to see him in this. Yay!!!!
❤ him
He is third missing brother of Jeff Bridges from Big Lebowski and Kurt Russel from Hateful Eight.

The Witch was great, watched it a couple weeks ago and now I really want to watch the Lighthouse
And now Nosferatu which is phenomenal.
I CANNOT WAIT! I’ve been soaking up every little bit of behind the scenes and interviews for this film.
A masterpiece, could potentially become one of my favorite movies ever upon further watches. Completely entrancing
19:48 I love how he takes his hat off to Denis. Both DUNE and The Northman are easily my favorite movies in the last decade.
This is one of my favorite movies, Def top 5. I love how it blends reality with mythology especially the draugher, the night blade and the superstition of magic but them being poisoned with high potency mushrooms. It is just incredible
Best and the most historically accurate Viking movie ever (includes also the tv shows).
5:23 - 5:52 HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! If only other directors would do this with historically-based movies without feeling the need to add the modern perspectives of right & wrong.

superb cinematography , acting and plot , truly an insight to how vikings lived , loved , fought and die
I love when directors build a team of actors to play with.
This is the best movie I have watched in a while. I am really glad that they went for the historically accurate approach instead of making something vaguely resembling history.
This film deserved all the Oscars
So excited for this, being far more authentic than most tv/movie portrayals. But also Eggers, and Alexander Skarsgard, etc.
Eggers is already a grand master of cinema - this was just incredible. immense & intense. remarkable effort. so much detail.
Phenomenal movie. Haven’t felt this way for along time. Possibly since gladiator. Not for everyone but I thoroughly enjoyed tf out of it
This movie has entered my best 10 films list... from dialogues to background score and locations everything is perfect beyond expectations.beautiful film wow just wow ❤️..I really really want this movie to win an Oscar🤞

One of the best films I’ve ever seen.
"Ya know, I'm something of a Viking myself."

Hey folks, in case you’re interested.

The movie has really stuck with me days later. At the time of watching I had some issues with the pacing, especially towards the end. But I am left with so much amazing imagery and powerful themes I have overall really appreciated what they did here
Felt like it could have been an hour longer, right? Stunning film though.
@@SabianTamaDrummer the begining was especially rushed, I am feeling we are getting director's cut later
I liked the pacing. It felt like it came in waves of speed and intensity then calm and slow. I wouldn’t say no to more of the movie, though.
The pacing was weird for me at first too, but couldn’t wait to watch again!
Just watched the movie yesterday and am I impressed with the sheer will of the main character's desire to take revenge despite the cost of his own life at the end.

I just seen the movie tonight, 5-13-22. It was a master piece. Absolutely the best film I've seen in quite a long time
I haven’t been this excited about a movie in years.
did go in with no expectations and i was hooked from the first second and never let me go until the credits rolled
This is now one of my favorite movies of all time.
With everything that Willem (specially him, what a wisdom this man have, the way he talks ohh.. I love him) Ethan, Alexander and all the production cast and crew said about eggers = DETAILS in visuals, story, etc Make me feel like when I heard actors talking about Kubrick.. and probably Nicole Kidman will make that comparation.. I'm totally sure haha
(sorry if I made grammatical mistakes I'm learning..)
This is one of the greatest movies that I have ever seen. It just feels so real, so immersive, and invigorating.
I loved hearing what Dafoe had to say about working with Eggers. Need to see more Dafoe/Eggers collabs in the future!
I really enjoyed the 'Vikings' series on Amazon Prime but I believe this is just gonna be on a whole other level. Can't wait for this movie!
You will at the very least see a 1000% more authentic depiction of a Viking or Northman. So much I can tell from seeing bits and pieces.
90 million, 2hour movie compared to 5 to 8 million an episode Vikings show.they don't have the worries that those cable TV shows have to deal with. I'm just happy for a 90 million dollar Viking movie. Lol
can't believe I had the chance to work on this and audition for Robert. life love memories
Just watched it the other night with my best friend. It was absolutely fantastic!
Keeping the story simple but shooting it perfectly sounds incredible.

That was really brilliant.!
Yeah brother....this movie is indeed an epic...and it is PHENOMENAL. I was surely transported to the 10th century in the theater. Amazing work.
Watched it last night, big fan of his two previous films. I wasn't disappointed.
Wow! Can't wait to see it!!!
Incredible respect for Eggers and the crew.
I'm glad I got to see this film in the cinema and not just streaming. It's an epic that needed the big screen.
The Witch was a really good movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. I can't wait to see this one.
Cant wait! Finally an epoc Viking movie!
This looks like the best historical film in decades!
I’m so excited to go watch this in the movie theater, I have been waiting since the day it was announced, loved Eggers first two films, love that he brought back Anya and William, love everyone in the Skarsgard family so to see Alexander is such a treat and LOVE Bjork, this movie is a big pot of excellence!
there's something kinda funny that this is what Robert considers to be a broad audience popcorn movie.
I saw this movie with my aunt in theaters for my birthday and my god, was it an amazing epic of a journey.
I am already in love with this movie
So cool to see some extra information of what went in to making such an amazing film!
Thank you!
We need an authentic-looking Viking TV series.
Movie Is Amazing, We Need More Movies Like This, Not Just Viking Movies, But Movies Were They Do Not Hold Back
Just finished seeing this movie on the big screen. I will never forget it! Doing some history reading about England in the 10th Century. "The Ecclesiastical History of England by the Venerable Bede! Lots of Viking raids at the time. Also my girl friend is Danish with the golden blond hair. Now I want to buy her a helmet just to spice things up!
I loved the movie!!! One of the best movies of the year
I’m a practicing Odinist and we know when someone is just doing a cash grab on our religion, history and culture.
This movie looks amazing and from the outside looks like it pays honor to the historical context.
It’s comforting to know that Alexander cried because I started tearing up watching the trailer for like 20th time lol
We have our whole family and several
Kinsmen meeting us up to watch this.
I’m so grateful for their authenticity ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Those scenes with the sea and the tree, the family line, the raven master, the valkyrie riding, MAN I was almost brought to tears with those scenes. This film is definitely something else.
Didn't wanted to be too clear describing the scenes so I don't spoil it for the folks!
“The Lighthouse” was so powerful. I just not believe the brilliance of William Defoe and Robert Pattinson. Stunning.
This movie was fantastic. Gave me 13th Warrior vibes and took off from there.
Another version of Hamlet , Amled , Simba , Amleth , SO WORTH IT!
Robert is the future of good movies... He just gets it!
Robert Eggers is a genius😂
A mad, violent, feverish revenge flick that blurs the line between grounded historical fiction and lurid folklore. It's not for everyone; a lot of you will hate it. But watch it anyway - like all great art, it needs to be experienced for the experience's sake.
It might just be hype but judging by William Dafoes analogy of this film along with the amount of details in the locations I pretty sure I'll go see this twice in the theater. Something I haven't done in like forty years.
It's a pretty great film. It's basically Hamlet with Vikings.
@@redadamearth yep. It never gets old.
