I've used normie ever since the first person called me out on it years and years ago. The fact that it bothers people is just a reason to keep doing it. It's been a potential free (you) the entire time.
I don't care whether people think I'm a normalgay or not because all I do is filter threads full of them so they can think whatever they want when they're with each other. I've come to realise that Cinemaphile is a jail for the internet.
It wasn't that good. The movie was 30 minutes too long as the writers were probably forced to cram in a love story for the american viewers.
The guy looked like a 50 yo instead of a young strong man. Also, figting barefoot on an active volcano? I know its a movie, but really?
That's the point. Eggers needs to make modern, liberal, diverse movies if he wants to be successful. White culture is dead. Nobody will support it ever again.
Personally I really like the movie.
there's a reason people like lotr and not this
this is just grimdark shit
elden ring is the biggest selling game in a while and it's all about european culture, but it's not all grey and grimdark and shit, it's colourful.
how is it grimdark, he fricking avenges his father, slays his treacherous prostitute mother, finds true love and sires the first generation of a noble dynasty that will propagate his lineage into the future.
She was a prostitute because she was. It was her nature. And you are correct, everything that happened did stem from the fact that she was a prostitute. That's what makes the story so mythic. There are zero pulled punches in terms of fundamental villainy and virtue.
The focus on fate leaves his whole motivations and the meaning of the movie up in the air. I'd prefer a story where he broke the rules and was punished for it, over one where he follows along like a good lapdog.
>I'd prefer a story where he broke the rules and was punished for it, over one where he follows along like a good lapdog.
This is because you believe fulfilling your *own* destiny is somehow undermining of your personal agency. That is not the worldview of the characters in this film's universe. You have to embrace the concept of cosmic fate to immerse yourself in the story.

It's boring watching a story where the whole thing is explained to you in the intro. If Amleth wasn't aware of his fate, it'd at least be vaguely interesting instead of purely going through the motions. Go have a nice day because god wills it lol, what's the point?

You can know your destiny without being certain that you will achieve it. Rejection of fate occurs all the time in ancient mythology, and the consequences are always metaphysically destructive. Instead of rejecting it, he fulfilled and overcame it. The soothsayer prophesied that he would be forced to choose between vengeance and love, but because he was righteous and committed to his duty he ultimately attained both.

See, this is where we disagree. I think that if you know your fate and actively work towards it, you're guaranteed the win, which makes you a puppet.
He chose to interpret the "vengeance and love" line that way, but ultimately he chose vengeance, which was fated. There's no love in abandoning your family and just hoping they don't wind up getting abducted and turned into slaves again.
I went to the cinema with 4 friends and they basically all hated it. One of the guys didnt actually hate it, instead he just found it disappointing because he was expecting le epic viking battles.
"normies" go into a movie and have a certain idea of what its gonna be like, if it doesnt turn out that way, they hate it
Me personally, i love Isa masiha myself. We Muslims all respect him. Now soon prepare for the sword of Islam. Christian who worship not the true God. Their heads will roll. Like every Christian man and woman shrieked and cried for mercy upon facing the Turks. Christianity was nice. But its time and might is gone. Let the real religion take over.
Stop being a modernistic rootless animal.
Think of the hellfire that Allah has prepared for you if you do not give into his mercy and worship the true God. You will not never find peace here. But i bid you peace nevertheless.
Your culture is ugly and it turns everything it touches into poop, then now you too are starting to have the problems of Globohomo.
If I really want a cope religion, I would choose one that is immune to external propaganda and that manages to create a functioning society like Mormons or other American schizos.
Honestly have not been so engrossed by a film with a completely predictable plot like this in quite a while. Hard to explain but my anticipation of the hero accomplishing all the steps of his path towards vengeance was the overriding focus of the movie for me, and witnessing his attainment of that glory was a genuine thrill. I probably sound like a fricking shill, but I truly enjoyed the experience.
I think a lot of that is botting, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the younger posters who have grown up inside the corporate content bubble literally do not even realize that they are being trained to jump on astroturfed bandwagons against any piece of media that does not belong to the mega-corps which dominate 80% of the advertising and broadcast market.
No, they have literally lost the capacity to enjoy media other than fast paced capeshit. Most complains here that it's too long, boring or other ADHD symptoms like that.
If you're a shill than I'm the fricking head of Focus Features marketing anon because The Northman made me feel the exact same way. It's not just what story you tell, it's how you tell it.
I've been in Northman threads since it came out and it really did filter a lot of people, even the tourists that use this website. Claims of it being slow or not having enough action because nobody has seen the director's previous movies so they had no idea what to expect.
I don't really care because the stuff Reddit likes is all filtered so they can learn to enjoy a good movie or spend the rest of their lives talking to each other.
That's something that makes me laugh about Nu Cinemaphile: You have all these people who don't belong coming here because they hate the place they left and they're not even talking to Cinemaphileners. They're talking to the exact same people but anonymously.
/b/rother, we honored conscript fathers of Cinemaphile have a noble and sacred duty to civilize these rootless masses, so that they may be disciplined to abide by and ultimately serve in the continuation of our glorious and ancient anonmyous culture. All capeshitting redditors on this website MUST be made to recognize and understand their fundamental inferiority and subordination to the tastes and interests of the patrician class.
I'm sorry to say but you're on your own. When you've been here as long as I have, you just give up. I don't even talk to the new people so you'll have to "civilize the rootless masses" by yourself.
One day you'll understand because you'll stop trying like me.
You'll never beat the shills that decide what the masses watch and enjoy. The advertising is like a power drill into their skulls and you're one person.
Well there's at least two of us. Idk i still get a little enjoyment out of badgering the plebs, and sometimes people do managed to snap out of their tik tok hypnosis long enough to actually entertain checking out alternative media and maybe even having a discussion about it. U never know m8
>i still get a little enjoyment out of badgering the plebs
Yeah but how long have you been here? Were you here when Cinemaphile had anime discussions regardless of board? Have you played any Visual Novels? Cinemaphile was created to discuss anime and nobody currently using this website even knows that. I was here back then so I know.

Late 2006, full-time newfriend throughout 2007. I didn't come for anime specifically, but over the years I have definitely acquired an interest through exposure to it that I probably wouldn't have had outside of Cinemaphile. Same goes for all sorts of other media and art forms.
The post quality today vs 12-15 years ago has certainly depreciated, but that's true across the entire internet. This is still one of the few sites that I am aware of where you have a half-way decent chance of finding some worthwhile discussion that isn't being stilted by excessive moderation or algorithmic content optimization.

That's actually true of every chan and there are other ones that hopefully I can move to one day because Cinemaphile is dead (like, taken down).
I'm pretty sure I'm only still on Cinemaphile because I hate the current userbase and I plan to outlast them. I'm just going to wait until they leave and if they don't leave then I'll be dead one day and I win regardless.

In that sense, I'm exactly like a boomer who sees their country going to shit. I can't do anything about it so they just wait for it to be over. I know exactly how every old person feels now.
There is no Judeo-Christian good/evil dichotomy which renders the characters' motivations alien to a modern audience who aren't aware of the values and morals of Norse society
>Amleth swears to avenge his father; filial piety is the cornerstone of every ancient society, and oath-swearing is the foundation of the pre-Christian social system
>Uncle Fjölnir usurps Aurvandill as king but in doing so breaks the two most important sins of Norse society - he has slain his own kin by his own hand and has broken his oath to Aurvandill his liege by betraying him and attempting to kill Amleth. He is a man without honour and it is no wonder why his kingdom is taken from him by the King of Norway
> Aurvandill is revealed to be a slaver and rapist and Amleth is the child of rape, for modern audiences it makes no sense why he still feels the need to carry out his oath when it is revealed that his father is really the "bad guy" by modern standards. Nevertheless he must still avenge his father, carry out his oath, take vengeance on his kin-slaying uncle even if the fantasy of reclaiming his kingdom, saving his mother and triumphing as the "good guy" is shattered.
> Amleth realizes that he has children with Olga, instead of sailing off to live happily ever after, decides he must finally slay Fjölnir even after destroying his farm, slaying his children and his own treacherous mother. Why? Because Fjölnir may still have children yet who will carry on the blood-feud until either his line or Amleth's is wiped out. He must also set a standard for his future children that they must always avenge their kin regardless of the consequences. Amleth's "happily ever after" isn't living with his loving beautiful wife and children until old age, but snuffing out Fjölnir's line ensuring his own kin's future without blood-feud and his own resting place in Valhalla.
>Amleth's "happily ever after" isn't living with his loving beautiful wife and children until old age, but snuffing out Fjölnir's line ensuring his own kin's future without blood-feud and his own resting place in Valhalla.
That's why my mind is blown when people ask stuff like >why did he abandon Olga at the end? what an idiot lol
His destiny (as explained by the witch after the village raid) were like orders from God, which is why they were more important than his family. He fulfils his destiny and then he reaches Valhalla.
It's actually a happy ending about true love for ones family (Amleth loving his father and even his mother before he finds out the truth) but I guess a lot of people missed the point because they don't understand there are different kinds of love and not just living the rest of your life on a farm with your wife like a coward.
He actually had a choice, outlined by the same witch.
It's just that braindead morons always expect the happily ever after subversion "LOL WHAT FATE, I DEFY FATE" bullshit that's been so widespread nowadays.
>King Haraldr of Norway
fricking absolutely based lad, the unsung hero of the movie. went and saw this with the lads at the local cinema. got a large popcorn, large coca-cola, never got up to rock a piss, and fired off a joint in the middle of the theater no fricks given. after the lotr trilogy it was probably the best theater experience of my life.
It's because there's no traditional white male hero, average joe white people like unrealistic heroes more than complicated figures.
The Northman was a movie that made it hard to root for anyone.
Amleth was a revenge obsessed butcher, the entire point of him howling during that pillage scene was to show he wasn't a man, but a wolf
The little virtues he attempted to espouse, he tossed them all away when he left Olga on the boat.
With Aurvandill, as much as he was set up as a selfish villain in beginning, the entire movie then proceeded to show him as an honest man who'd rather live a modest living as a father and farmer than as a pillager, as his brother called it, "a disgraceful graybeard."
It also makes a point to show that the queen was actually the one who was constantly in his ear, telling him to do things contrary to his more gentle nature
For Amleth's mother, obviously the big reveal is that she was actually the one who brought ruin to his family with manipulation, adultery and conspiracy.
But it tried humanizing her evil behavior by showing that she was a pillaged princess, meant only to be a rape trophy for Amleth's father.
Her last line was thanking her son for murdering her, ending her pathetic life as a vindictive trophy prostitute.
There is no real hero in this story, there is just the belief that all those that die in combat are welcomed in Valhalla
can you believe that one critic complained that you need a phd in norse mythology just to understand this movie, which was based on the legend which Hamlet was based on? You're telling me that a movie critic doesn't know about Hamlet when my 15 year old little brother has read it and even knew the story was Hamlet-like.
commenting on the idea that outside the hamlet shit, there seems to be more in the norse stuff. read: "maybe i'm not enjoying this because i don't know enough about norse mythology."
sadly its just an extremely bare bones hamlet remake.
Even if you wrote Norse Mythology nothing in the movie needs in depth knowledge about it.
What, you need explanations for their motivations and morals stemming from the myths?
The names of places, I'd understand, but these are very common knowledge.
Plus the film makes it explicit at some points that it has fantasy in it so there's no need to overanalyze shit.
you misunderstand. the movie is extremely anemic, leading one to think there is there some actual storytelling, possibly in the most unfamiliar elements. this is mistaken though. the movie is just stripped down hamlet, nothing more.
its actually not really good, just mediocre. i dont blame the normies. same with last duel, that one was also middle of the road tier where its not worth it putting more than one hour into it. and both feel very fake, where it doesnt convince me its a historical piece, it feels more like a stage play, especially the dialogue
To me it was pretty dull. I kept waiting for the moment it was gonna take a turn and get interesting or wild or something. Never happened. The fantasy element was purely visual and made no impact. I liked the end fight scene, but it was a slog to get there. Reminded me of Green Knight which was also bland and boring after these wild fantastical trailers. I wouldn't have minded so much if it had even less action. What action scenes it did have were nuanced and brutal and I liked that. At the end of it I just felt if someone told me in one sentence that "A boy watches his dad die by his uncles hand and he becomes a slave and then avenges his dads death by killing his uncle at a volcano." My reaction would be: "Ok". The reaction to the movie is the same...

>slays his treacherous prostitute mother,
Why was his mom such a prostitute? Everything that happened was her fault.
She was a prostitute because she was. It was her nature. And you are correct, everything that happened did stem from the fact that she was a prostitute. That's what makes the story so mythic. There are zero pulled punches in terms of fundamental villainy and virtue.
All women are prostitutes to varying degrees

You're telling me that a movie critic doesn't know about Hamlet when my 15 year old little brother has read it and even knew the story was Hamlet-like.
commenting on the idea that outside the hamlet shit, there seems to be more in the norse stuff. read: "maybe i'm not enjoying this because i don't know enough about norse mythology."
sadly its just an extremely bare bones hamlet remake.
Even if you wrote Norse Mythology nothing in the movie needs in depth knowledge about it.
What, you need explanations for their motivations and morals stemming from the myths?
The names of places, I'd understand, but these are very common knowledge.
Plus the film makes it explicit at some points that it has fantasy in it so there's no need to overanalyze shit.
you misunderstand. the movie is extremely anemic, leading one to think there is there some actual storytelling, possibly in the most unfamiliar elements. this is mistaken though. the movie is just stripped down hamlet, nothing more.
It is objectively Eggers' worst film
The Last Kingdom was better
AAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHEEEEEHAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAHEEEEEEEE
not gonna watch based on the shit colors
There's a color correction patch.
its actually not really good, just mediocre. i dont blame the normies. same with last duel, that one was also middle of the road tier where its not worth it putting more than one hour into it. and both feel very fake, where it doesnt convince me its a historical piece, it feels more like a stage play, especially the dialogue
anyone have a good link for it?
I just checked and it's on 123movies. You can also torrent the movie.
Linkerino

To me it was pretty dull. I kept waiting for the moment it was gonna take a turn and get interesting or wild or something. Never happened. The fantasy element was purely visual and made no impact. I liked the end fight scene, but it was a slog to get there. Reminded me of Green Knight which was also bland and boring after these wild fantastical trailers. I wouldn't have minded so much if it had even less action. What action scenes it did have were nuanced and brutal and I liked that. At the end of it I just felt if someone told me in one sentence that "A boy watches his dad die by his uncles hand and he becomes a slave and then avenges his dads death by killing his uncle at a volcano." My reaction would be: "Ok". The reaction to the movie is the same...
