I went in wanting to like it.
"Woah a freaking norse-themed film?"
"Woah white actors for once?"

then you watch it, and there's no moral to any of the story, there's very little in the way of thought provoking ideas or themes, no magic, no heroes to identify with or cheer for because the "protagonist" feels like the antagonist most the time.
Just a bunch of fighting and depressing, cloudy scenery.
Shit sucked, and I can't believe I was recommended this.
Wakanda Forever looks like shit too and not even going to bother watching.
You perfectly explained how a saga by complete accident. The Northman is true to its source material and does a fantastic job displaying what a saga would look like if people lived it.
Stop spamming this meme you moronic Black person. In a saga Amleth is a Danish prince who conquers half of England after killing his uncle, instead of sabotaging his farm nad then dying like a b***h.
>Le true to its source material
Okay wow great. That's nice except that means the source material ALSO sucks and is depressing, and dull and everything wrong with storytelling, and obviously shouldn't have even bothered being told because it's uninteresting.
If you're going to make a damn film about something, you should try to dress it up and embellish it. Make it interesting. This shit is creatively bankrupt shlock.
>the "protagonist" feels like the antagonist most the time
the protagonist doesn't feel like a proper character at all
It's not true to source material lol, that anon is either lying or borderline moronic
The saga is much more interesting, it's basically Hamlet but with more fighting and less moral dilemmas (aka exactly what you would expect from a viking legend).

Eggman's dipshit fanfic is at best loosely inspired by it
>there's no moral to any of the story,
The moral is that women are prostitutes. >very little in the way of thought provoking ideas or themes, no magic, no heroes to identify with or cheer for because the "protagonist" feels like the antagonist most the time.
The theme is fate vs choice, the noisemakers learns a prophecy of his fate and does everything he can to embrace it, thats why Odin frees him from bondage. Odin is magic btw you dumb frick.
The northman is a protagonist through and through, why is he an antagonist? Because he raids a village? He didn't single handedly deconstruct slavery and apply 2022 values to 920 like every other dog shit film made nowadays? You're probably low IQ and a great big homosexual if you didn't like this movie.
tl;dr he's le revenge guy who's all about revenge and his personality is revenge
also Odin (he's there and that's VERY important)
great stuff mate, you're surely a 200 IQ individual for making these middle school tier observations and thinking they're insanely deep
the movie is literally schizo kino but people fail to see this
Amleth is living a mythical revenge quest, reminded by the God of a people he slaughtered, aided by a Valkyrie, he has to fight a Draugr to find a magical sword, and its all in his own head. At the end he realizes the prophecy he was following was based on misconceptions >I will avenge you father
his father was a rapist who neglected his wife >I will save you mother
his mother was happier with his uncle than with his father >I will kill you Fjölnir
and by doing so he destroys a happy family
So what does he do? He renews his vows and swears to protect his family and restore honour to his bloodline, and he goes to fight Fjölnir anyway
yes, now he has an actual purpose behind it, whereas before he was following a lie essentially
The point is that he cannot escape his fate, but he can conquer it (subtitle of the film: conquer your fate). He cannot escape his fate of killing Fjölnir at the volcano, but by renewing his vows he does so with his own purpose, for the sake of his family and no longer revenge, and thus he conquers his fate

It's probably going to have a scene where a tall African soldier fricks his wife with a foot and half long dick, and it will be the reason Napoleon was such an butthole, but won't explain why there's guys in the ghetto named Napoleo
It was an independent film that had too much of a high budget for what it’s worth. Funny that you mentioned black panther but this movie still did better than the women king in the box office(one that movie was already polarized on release and the former is a marvel flick)

If you can get the media to shill for you, you could turn The Room into a hit (at least according to them).
Yes, The Northman was a better film, but people hate realism and vikings are brutal. If you showed people what africans were really like, they would think vikings were all ghandi by comparison.
people pay to see western european history kino, not northern european.
I love Eggers, but let's be honest here, it just wasn't a good movie.

So you admit everything i said was painfully obvious and it directly refutes your homosexual moron posting?
I accept your apology.
I'm not the guy to whom you originally replied you stupid Black person. You seem to be extraordinarily moronic.
Then butt out of the conversation you moronic gay boy.
>no magic

let me guess, you loved RoP

so he actually doesn't realize anything because he has no personality other than being the revenge dude
yep. thats the point
He has to fight fjolnir because his family will not be safe with him alive.
yes, now he has an actual purpose behind it, whereas before he was following a lie essentially

pseud incarnate
great movie
i dont think this take is accurate.
I liked it but not as much as his other movies. For me the most memorable scenes are the berserkers dance and the valkyria ride
that said, I was immensely pleased to see northmen using accurate clothing, helmets and not having the fricking hipster haircuts
You will never be a woman
not as good as the witch, but way better than than lighthouse pretentious mediocrity
This. I'm not excited for his Nosferatu either, especially with the new casting.
I don't like Robert Eggers and yes, it was completely mid.
>incest flick produced by Israeli israelite
Frick the northman
If aryans don't love incest then why was the Austrian Royal Family Tree a straight line?
Maybe white men don't watch movies anymore (outside of dates). I know I don't.
looks thoroughly modern (that means bad)
It's not at all. I mean, other than it was made recently.
sorry im not raw meat eater
anyone else like the witch and the lighthouse but dislike this film?
THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOVIE NOT CAPESHIT
CAPESHIT MAKES MONEY HISTORY MOVIES DON'T
STOP MAKING STUPID COMPARISONS DUMB FRICKING Black person
troonyBASHER OUT
I paid to see it and it wasn’t very good. I paid to see the green knight and that wasn’t very good. I paid to see the duel and that wasn’t very good.
They need to make better European history kinos. I’ll pay to see Napoleon with Joaquin Phoenix and hopefully that’ll be good.
It's probably going to have a scene where a tall African soldier fricks his wife with a foot and half long dick, and it will be the reason Napoleon was such an butthole, but won't explain why there's guys in the ghetto named Napoleo
watch The Profession of Arms on yt if you want to see unadulterated, slow ass western medieval kino
You got burned three times and you're going back for a fourth?
The Northman was the best movie of 2022.
It was an independent film that had too much of a high budget for what it’s worth. Funny that you mentioned black panther but this movie still did better than the women king in the box office(one that movie was already polarized on release and the former is a marvel flick)
If you're interested in Germanic mythology you will like this movie
If you're not you will not like it probably
>dood there was a guy dressed like Odin in one scene, it's such a deep mythological movie!!

I am right and you are wrong, stupid homo
I am the best
Yeah bro, if there's one thing redditors love it's all white casts.
they sure love surface level references and dumbass """epic""" scenes which reek with söy
stupid newbie
Die redditor. Go watch Wakanda or whatever the frick your movie is called.

I paid to see this. Pretty comfy memory actually, this really long theater in France
both shit
I really love this movie and you CANT convince me otherwise
80% of Anya's movies flop
Not sure why flicks keep casting her.
this movie was incredible. i regret not buying the 4k. i cant belive people talk shit about this movie. a shame it performed poorly at the box office.

I seriously hate going to the theaters so I saw it on a streaming service. I was going to buy the blu-ray to make up for it.
