It's like I'm reading a fricking DND monologue, all it needs is some fricking asterisks.
Eh, honestly it didn't feel "fancy" enough. I was told by a friend that the studio asked Eggers to tone down the dialogue after it was received poorly by test audiences, and that wouldn't surprise me at all if it was true. It felt like what you'd think would sound fancy when you were 14, and Eggers did a great job at writing dialogue in his other works, so i think this was a studio choice.
I think its supposed to feel like a retelling of an old legend, which is why certain details are true to history, but overall a lot of myth and supernatural elements are found in it as well. I believe the way they speak adds to this mythical athmosphere, as it is deliberately not trying to be a realistic viking telling from real history, but more like a mixture of both.
9/10 movie for me, as it works as a movie but also, for once, is a holywood production that holds respect for scandinavian history and myth.
>movie does a slight impression of shakespearean dialogue >morons on Cinemaphile filter themselves en masse
You morons go back to watching capeshit. The quip and exposition is more to your liking
I don't understand where all budget went. You have 1 big village and one small village. 1 battle. It doesn't feel big or epic. It all feel small. Edger can't make this type of movie.
Don't tell me masks cost them half of the budget. There is one battle in whole movie. Problem is that this movie is way too expensive than it should be. There is more action in one old Robin Hood episode than in whole Northman.
2 Villages. One is realy small village. All wooden. It just can't cost so much money. And yes, they are selling it as big epic viking historical drama. It is not big neither historical.
I don't really get why they're speaking in fancy english. these are slaves, barbarians, etc. i get we need them to speak english for the movie, but they wouldn't be speaking the most eloquent version of whatever language vikings spoke.
Mel Gibson said that for the Passion, he had 2 types of latin. the vulgar ones for soldiers and an elegant one for Pontius Pilate. I hate that people think that just because a story is old, people have to talk in very complex old fashioned english. And it makes even less sense when its the most uneducated people doing it.
Why do you morons watch blockbusters?
Eh, my brother wanted to see it. I am more of a 70s guy
oh
You suck 70 wieners per day
73 wieners a day was when Hollywood peaked.
Did you want them to speak in a greasy 70s NYC wop manner or something?

I agree, the dialogue was way too stilted
>OY BRUV YOU LOOK RIGHT PISSED SCARED DONTCHA
>TOO BAD YOU NEVER PAID ATTENTION
>IM ABOUT TO FRICKIN' SLICE YER HEAD OFF MATE
better?
Way better.
The Vikings were country bumpkins, rapists, pirates and thieves. It's actually kino if they spoke scouse when compared to standard English.
That’s how squareheads talk.
let me translate it to amerimutt
>ayoo nigguh mirin his drip?
>you nevuh listen to me no mo nigguh
>bro I finna cap yo ass
>COME AT ME homie COME AT ME
>copin my drip nevuh gonna make you a hard homie you nevuh gonna be a kang LIGHTSKIN MOTHERFRICKA
>The story of Hoodlet
It is based on the story of Amleth, which is the same story as Shakespeares Hamlet was made from.
I believe it's a shot at the fancy dialog from that particular rendition, kind of like Romeo + Juliet did. I think it works very well

Is this really how they talk? Yes, I'm never watching this gay ass movie
On my honor, it is that homosexual.
Lol, dialogue aside it looks pretty moronic
Honestly some of the shots looked nice but it was pretty lame and a lot of the CGI looked really dumb. So many fake animals.
Yeah that's not how people speak when playing dnd
My apologies
>Amleth a Northman: MOM I ASKED FOR FRICKING COOL RANCH, NOT NACHO! YOU'RE RUINING THE IMMERSION
>Okay role to see if you can seduce the Goblins.
>movie does a slight impression of shakespearean dialogue

Tell me you're a mutt without telling me you're a mutt.. I'm sure a dubbed version will come out soon for you
>Movie literally made by an American
>homosexuals still lose their shit about "rrreee amerimutts!!!"
Kek
the word behold is used three times in the previous scene as well, twice by heimr and once by aurvandil
Look at ye
postin' cringe
It was a waste of time, pure drama and almost no action.
"Almost no actions all drama" commit sepppuku frend.
i'm surrounded by midwit zoomers
That like it... or dislike it?
Why would viking savages speak in poetry? Even historically accurate Vikings were basically just farmers
Cause it has to be a Shakespeare adaptation or else then it's not deep.
Do people not actually like brutal action movies anymore? It does seem like they're never made anymore
I miss Mel Gibson
what happened to his viking kino?
Google "kennings"
Or eddas. Or skalds. Or learn literally anything regarding what you're talking about, preferably before talking about it.
>The existence of rap must mean that black Americans spoke in rhymes 24/7
Granted it would be hilarious if they did

Filmed during Covid, perhaps

It was never supposed to be a big epic, never understood where people got this idea. Budget went into building the sets.
2 Villages. One is realy small village. All wooden. It just can't cost so much money. And yes, they are selling it as big epic viking historical drama. It is not big neither historical.
RP is the best. And I bet they didn't speak in RP as no fricker knows how to speak in RP anymore.
it was to filter capeshitters. Seems it worked.
>barbarian warriors would definitely NOT speak in idioms or have any wise-sounding things to modern ears
Idiot
why is dafoe on the poster when he's in it for like fifteen seconds
it's called Real Pronunciation for a reason
I don't really get why they're speaking in fancy english. these are slaves, barbarians, etc. i get we need them to speak english for the movie, but they wouldn't be speaking the most eloquent version of whatever language vikings spoke.
Damn you're a dumb c**t, you know that
explain. why do you think it was necessary
>fancy english
you're a complete moron
i think you're lying to yourself if you think the way they spoke is a normal way to speak. the insults are just really childish too
At the time, it wasn't especially eloquent.

What would you expect them to speak in?
slavs are crazy
they don't? they mostly were hard to understand Scandis.
