  • JUST SAY FUS RO DAH

  • Beowulf was Saxon, not Celtic

  • OMG..this video is perfect! I love how you added the bit at the end with Gerry on the horse that threw him off earlier...thank you so much for posting it!

  • Its Stoic!

  • Is that Gerard Butler?

  • You mean the Vikings and the Teutons and the Anglo Saxons?

  • I love this. Grendel is nice! :D

  • i have reddish brown wavy hair and striking blue eyes does that make me celt ? i dont think so

  • @seaforest95 find a norse peace of music then. by the way the story of beowulf is saxon.

  • celtic is not a nationality its not bound by borders it is a way of life,heart and a peace that comes by living close to the land not by linage remember its not where you come from but where you are going that atters

  • @hoskinmage pretty sure you cant just decide your celtic it has alot to do with where your from in that case anyone could be celtic the irish and scotish are celtic since the scotish where clans of irish who just migrated thats what i thought anyhow

  • Which movie is this from ?

  • I feel bad for grendal watching his dad get killed...

  • @seaforest95 Celts=Ghets=Ghots=Serbs ......the whole world is a Celtic :)

  • I wish I could find this movie on "On Demand" or "Netflix."

  • try some unline streaming like letmewatchthis or something like that

  • Celtic Eire

  • @seaforest95

    Yeah, but Gerard Butler is Celtic, does that make a speck of a difference? XDD

  • I don't like the way they depicted vikings in this movie. In real life they had some of neatest clothing and hair of their time. They look like weird cavemen in this movie haha :D They would always comb their hair.

  • @Owliganka Sorry to tell you then, that the historic accuracy is very high in this film, because I do viking re-enactment (reliving history of the viking age) and these armours and clothing are really accurate.

    One of the very few movies where they DO depict vikings how they actualy lived.

  • The "Celts" were really ancient Basques who have mixed with other European tribes over the years

  • @JorgeLorenzoSpain100 basques were pre celts who converted to celtic ways through trade ;)........celts were into settled agriculture....the first basque enclave settlers were nomadic ppl living healthy lives off the fruits of the land and lean meat :)

  • There are standing stones in Scotland and Ireland that pre date the pyramids of Egypt by 2000 yrs. mind blowing stuff. the yew tree in fortingal Scotland is 5000 yrs old. check it out

  • @wullieready makes u wonder how the hell they built them things LOL

  • Gerard b.....is Scottish. a Celt.............but the legend of beawulf is Viking norse, oops someones fucked the script up again

  • cry of the celts?.. but beowulf was viking

  • scotland!

  • The music is okay...unfortunately the speed of the video is not normal (around x1.5)

    thx anyway.

  • @vmegag Speed is ok when I play it???

  • @suesnoopp Sorry the speed is not correct for some times only this is not constant...for instance at 2:10 at 2:48. Not important but i just noticed that.

  • @vmegag

    i'm experiencing the same thing but it was all right when i watched this a few weeks ago

  • Write Celtic Ireland, you can find that Celts migrated from Ireland to Asia Minor.

  • @GokzTT indeed, even in my areas can be found some old crosses 90 % similar to the celtic one !

  • @Uber0hrid

    Yeah, Macedonia.

  • Beowulf may not be a Celt, but he sure does look it. Thumbs up if you think the new Beowulf movie was nothing close to the legend.

  • Beowulf may not be a Celt, but he sure does look it.

    

  • q pelicuala es esa?

  • Nordic and Celtic cultures were linked closly, the Celts had an All Father simmilar to the Norse Odin and the Anglo-Saxon Woden. The way a blanket religion covers most of Europe today it also did back then. Also music would have also been simmilar in the cultures. The Vikings built the first town in Ireland, Dublin, because the Irish were semi-nomadic cattle hearders at the time the Vikings were raiding them.

  • "Why was such a daft wretch spared?!" ~Celt

  • Total Shit-here is nothing about celts

  • Orkney Island Mix of Celtic and Viking.,,,,go back even further they all came from the Tribe of Dan! Sampsons Tribe!!!! Danes ,Danube, Denmark, Tuatha de Danaan.

    etc. Scots started out in Ireland Descendant of Scota, daughter of Pharaoh. Tea Telphi, Prophet Jeramiah,Landed in Ireland with King David's coronation Stone. The Jerry's! Longshanks took it to England, Scots stole it backin 1950. I know my bloodline goes back too St Colucille, DalRiadin, Oral Tradition. Saxons=Isaac sons. DAN

  • The story about Beowulf fighting Grendel and his mother was a fabrication for entertainment.In reality,Beowulf was an observant Muslim born around the year 684 AD in Alexandria, Egypt . However, his love of conquest would have him join a Viking fleet which landed in Nova Scotia in the summer of 706. The precise date is not known, but he proceeded to marry an Iroquois woman at some point early in the Viking settlement whereupon greater knowledge of his whereabouts and activity remain a mystery.

  • @whpriol1 where did you get that info? Sure the first time I see this version.

  • Beowulf was a Scandinavian not a Celt. Ethnically Celts are separate fro germanic people.

  • I can't believe people are debating how English or Swedish Beowulf was even though he existed (or his story did at any rate) before those countries even existed :|

  • Is that...Gerard Butler? I can think of none better suited to play England's oldest hero than a Scotsman :3

  • @TheXand19 Firstly, the character of Beowulf was a Geat - from Southern Sweden not England. I do however agree that a man with a thick Scottish accent shouldn't have been chosen, a Swedish guy would have been the best choice - persoally I think Dolph Lundgren would've been good.

  • @TheXand19 Ah, Gerald Butler is Irish, hell he's my cousin. Where he was born is of no consequence

  • @Eagle027

    Gerard Butler is mostly Scottish with some Irish. If he's your cousin then you should have spelled his name correctly.

  • @aphyd2 He's a distant cousin, and Butler is an Irish-Norman name of the House of Ormonde, not English or Scott. He may have been born in Scotland, but spent his early years in Canada. He's also strict Roman Catholic. NNDB lists his ancestry as Irish only. Bet you think Paul McCartney is English.

  • @Eagle027

    "He's a distant cousin"

    Yeah. Mine, too! LOL!

    "Butler is an Irish-Norman name of the House of Ormonde, not English or Scott"

    The name is native to England as well. So that means nothing. Besides, one has 4 grandparents but only one surname. My point should be obvious.

    "NNDB lists his ancestry as Irish only."

    Not only is NNDB not a "source" but it doesn't even list any sources.

  • @aphyd2 Considering Butlers have been in Ireland since the reign of Henry II, its and Irish name. You question my source while providing none yourself.

  • @Eagle027

    Butler is Irish blah blah blarney. Butler isn't exclusive to Ireland so cut the crap. My original comment was based information from Gerard Butler's bio on the IMDB. It doesn't provide a source, either. But he discusses being Scottish and learning to speak with an Irish accent in this interview. At 2.15 he says he's a SCOTSMAN.

    video.about.com/movies/Gerard-­Butler-on-PS-I-Love-You.htm

  • @aphyd2 You do know the difference between nationality and ethnic background?

  • @Eagle027

    So you've resorted to smart aleck rhetorical questions have you? <=== Irony.

    You claim a man who was born in Scotland is really Irish. But you haven't provided one single reliable source to support it. Just admit you're a moron who can't accept being wrong so we can end this discussion peacefully.

  • @aphyd2 Sean Connery was born in Scotland. John F Kennedy was born in the US. Paul McCartney was born in England. But all three have a common ethnic heritage, Irish. William I of England was born in France, yet he had Danish ancestry.

  • @Eagle027

    This discussion isn't about Connery, Kennedy or McCartney. It's about Gerard Butler. You claim he's Irish. But you can't back it up. Either provide a legitimate source or stfu.

  • @aphyd2 You implied because Butler born in Scotland, he couldn't be Irish, you are wrong. You are also an anti-Irish bigot. I gave a source, only your opinion says its not legit. Gerard James Butler, both given names prominent in the House of Ormonde.  So eat shit and die Windsor ass kisser

  • @Eagle027

    Most people born in Scotland are Scottish. If you're going to claim otherwise then you need to supply a source. You didn't provide a source. You provided a website that made a claim without giving it's source. The information on that website comes from anonymous readers. That's not a source you moron. You're just desperate for another famous mick besides Bono. And Jagger. So go cry in your beer, potato head.

  • @aphyd2 You can go back to sucking Charlie's Dick. At least the Irish got most of their country back. You sound like you're jealous of that.

  • @Eagle027

    I don't think anyone is "jealous" of Ireland. Their average IQ is 93. Wtf?

  • @aphyd2 They have a country, and don't have to take out the Queen's chamber pot.

  • @Eagle027

    Yeah. They've got a country. The country sucks but it's theirs. At least it is for now. They fought a thousand years for independence. And the second they got it they started flooding the island with foreigners. It's actually kind of funny. hehe

  • @aphyd2 If that was true, they would had the same terrorist problem as in the UK, funny all those in attacks never made it to the world media.

  • Comment removed

  • @Eagle027

    /watch?v=kiyxZqGCKpI&feature=r­elated

  • @aphyd2 IQ of 93?? Where did you get that stat? And you're from Afghanistan, so you REALLY shouldn't be one to criticize!

  • @iLikeCookie88

    Go to Wikipedia and search "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" and it will list the IQ estimate for every country in the world. Btw, I'm not from Afghanistan. That's just the first country on the list of choices. I see you're demonstrating that famously LOW Irish IQ. LOL!

  • @aphyd2 You get your facts from Wikipedia? And apparently I'm the stupid one?

    Enough said :)

  • @iLikeCookie88

    Wikipedia is your friend, but it is much better to gain knowledge from books.

  • @iLikeCookie88

    I get my information from a book titled "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" published by 2 psychology professors based on the results of various tests and studies. The results are shown on the Wikipedia entry for that book. If you don't like the results you should find fault with the methodology of the studies cited by the book, not Wikipedia. But it won't change the facts. By the way, I agree that, apparently, you are the stupid one.

  • @aphyd2 Took you a long time to think of that reply didn't it? I'm not gonna bother continuing this, because I don't have the time to start random arguments with people on the internet, unlike yourself :)

    Stating the average IQ of a country does not make you impressive, neither does calling someone that you don't even know 'stupid'. You must be a sad person...

  • @iLikeCookie88

    Maybe I am a "sad person". But at least my alias doesn't reference nazism.

  • @aphyd2 Realy? How how fucking accurate is your test since the Irish are spread across the fucking globe,even Chile was founded by an irishman,american wars were fought with help from irish,argentina has its history with irish also......irish people have affected and helped shape the world with other cultures.....even ur mum screwed sum1 irish i reckon..

  • @SuperTinkerhell

    Judging from your response, I'd say the test was fairly accurate. hehe

  • @aphyd2

    I think you are jealous of Ireland, it is one of the best places in the world to be in, it has beautiful historical castles, emerald woods, and sapphire shores of eternal beauty, do not forget the culture, wondeful music and beliefs, and a perfect country, did you ever see their Riverdance or amazing peace? You do not know of the Celts my friend, I am a Celt.

  • @GokzTT

    Let me tell you what Ireland has... marshmallows in the shapes of pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers. heh

  • @GokzTT

    You're not a "celt". Celts were native to central Europe, not Britain and Ireland. Bryan Sykes, Professor of Human Genetics at Oxford University wrote a book in 2006 in which he discusses the genetics of England & Ireland. Their ancestors migrated from the Iberian peninsula 10K years ago and were related to the Basques, not the Celts. Go to wikipedia and search: Bryan_Sykes#Blood_of_the_Isles

  • @aphyd2

    I'm not Irish nor British, I know my history friend.

  • @GokzTT

    You said you're a "Celt" but that you're neither Irish nor British. Ok. For the moment let's set aside the fact that, according to Professor Bryan Sykes, no one from Ireland or the UK is really "Celtic". So what are you talking about?

  • @aphyd2

    Most Irish people I know are Celts, and look like them too. Typical celtic features are tall, long-faced and having either blue/green eyes and fair skin, usually brown hair.

  • @aphyd2

    The British are Anglo-Saxons.

  • @GokzTT

    Bryan Sykes, Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Oxford, studied British &Irish genetics extensively and detailed his findings in a 2006 book titled "Blood of the Isles". The genetic makeup of Britain and Ireland is overwhelmingly what it has been since the Neolithic period and to a very considerable extent since the Mesolithic period.

    For a summary of his findings see:

    en,wikipedia,org/wiki/Bryan_Sy­kes#Blood_of_the_Isles

  • Beowulf wasnt real... hes just like any other hero or deity from pagan European mythology, no more real than Atlantis or the minotaur from Greek mythology however, the story originates from England which makes him English.

  • @NorthernerMatty123

    doest matter if he was real or not in a physical sense. to those who see him as a hero he is real... and they can strive to be better because of it

  • @kybris Well even so the tale originates from England not Scandinavia which makes him English so eh... stop trying to steal our heroes :D.

  • @NorthernerMatty123 The character was Geatish (i.e from Southern Sweden). I'd wager that you can't even read Anglo-Saxon, so stfu.

  • Can anyone tell me the name of this movie? Ofc. if this is a move... :D

  • I fucking love your video :D

  • @darkeve1963 The story says Grendel was of the race of Cain, not Grendel was Scandinavian.

    Did you even read my comment?

    Where did you get the idea I approve of rape?

    No rape was portrayed anywhere in the original poem.

    Why slime up a classic tale with present day filth?

  • I was fascinated by this movie yesterday. It's very complex, realistic and the characters are fascinating. Including the fact I love The Lord of the Dance's pieces of music, I have to say I liked your fanvideo.

  • what is the name of this ginger actress in 3:24? :)

  • @mitkel999 Sarah Polley

  • @marmaduke9

    1)CLOSE TIES to scandanavia, but he is of anglo-saxon lore.

    2)Scholars generally agree that many of the personalities of Beowulf ALSO APPEAR in Scandinavian sources

    3)if he was real, he was most likely a soldier of fortune and not a viking. 

    taken from: Shippey, T. A. (Summer 2001). "Wicked Queens and Cousin Strategies in Beowulf and Elsewhere, Notes and Bibliography". In the Heroic Age (5).

  • This is my favorite viking movie!

  • @macbeth7swords

    beowulf isnt a viking. he most likely is some sort of celt or some local tribal hero.

  • @gsgaidan10 You idiot Beowulf had no Celtic connection whatsoever as his name suggests, the tale of Beowulf was written by the Anglo-Saxons in Old English set in Scandinavia, meaning that Beowulf was most likely thought of as a Viking and the originally this tale would have been told by old storytellers now stop mixing up ancient Europeans and get your own sagas!

  • i did NOT see grendel

  • this is one of my favorite stories and a great movie to i might add

  • When did this movie come out???

  • I like how this huge giant debate has been sparked simply because a piece of music set to clips from Beowulf happened to be celtic. Man, if YouTubers have time to be shitting over each other over something as trivial as that, then they must have enough energy to y'know - find a cure for cancer, or solve the eceonomic crisis...

  • Sitting across the pond here, contemplating the vision of you fellas fighting to the death over who is right regarding this issue, Monty Python comes to mind. If this gets you upset, what would happen if some froggy slapped your mum. Step back, regroup, and jump in my shit if it cools you both off. Thanks for bringing the spuds over Paddy, thanks for frying the chips Tommy. We brought you the Spam.

  • @marmaduke9 I've just read some of the other comments you posted. You really are a wanker aren't you? Like all proud English you spout off about things you know nothing about! Have you ever read a history book? Apart from the shit they made you read in whatever low grade school you went to! If it wasn't for something that happened in 9AD you wouldn't even be speaking English? What happened in 9AD? And what is a Beowulf? Come back when you have learnt something FOOL!!

  • @cunobelinusX31

    Thanks, I needed some back up on this stupid, uneducated fool!!

  • @marmaduke9 I'm not denying that the earliest written form of the Beowulf tale that exists, is of late Anglo-Saxon, but it doesn't alter the fact that this tale was in existance long before the A/S's made it to Britain! As I said, it was bought to our island by the Jutes and only written down during the Christianised period of A/S rule just prior to the Norman conquest! Have you ever read it? I doubt it! I suggest you get a copy of Seamus Heaney's translation!

  • @marmaduke9 Beowulf is not an Anglo Saxon tale! If you had ever read it you would know that it is of scandinavian origin. The story probably reached England with the Jutes who emmigrated to England after their country (Nth Holland) was inundaded by the sea c350AD! The Jutes were the 1st settlers of Germanic descent to arrive in Britain. They settled in Kent and Norfolk where the Romans hoped they could be used as a blockade against the Saxons and Angles! Do you know what a Beowulf is?

  • @cunobelinusX31 I am saying Beowulf is an Anglo Saxon tale,it's a tale about a scandinavian,written in the old English language,it is an English written tale! Not a scandinavian or celt (scum) written tale! An English tale!! Do all you wankers get it now? Not interested in "probable" origins,I am stating a fact,not supposition.Please enlighten us all as to what a beowulf is.

  • @marmaduke9, the word Beowulf means bear-wolf in Old-English, but you're right it was in existence long before the Saxons arrived in Britain. Just to clear things up, the Angles are a celtic tribe native to *Britain*, the Saxons are a *Germanic* tribe who invaded England after the fall of the Roman Empire. so yes, it's English, although I object to celts being called scum, but it is also Anglo-Saxon because that's the same thing. btw I'm American so this isn't about pride just facts.

  • @peacecanhappen27 The Angles werent Celts, they were Germanic as the Saxons were. The Angles is a modern English word for a Germanic-speaking people who took their name from the ancestral cultural region of Angeln, a district located in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The Angles were one of the main groups that settled in Britain in the post-Roman period, founding several of the kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England, and their name is the root of the name "England".

  • @peacecanhappen27 The Angles were from Angeln in Germany as scientific evidence have proved learn your facts you dumb bastard!

  • @cunobelinusX31 I am saying Beowulf is an Anglo Saxon tale,it's a tale about a scandinavian,written in the old English language,it is an English written tale! Not a scandinavian or celt (scum) written tale! An English tale!! Do all you wankers get it now? Not interested in "probable" origins,I am stating a fact,not supposition.Please enlighten us all as to what a beowulf is.

  • @marmaduke9 Can you stop being a faggot for just a few minutes? Your life will be a lot better, I assure you...

  • @marmaduke9 Why do you call the Celts scum? The Celtic church produced the most literature in Europe at one time and not only in Latin. Some could speak many languages at a time when other European peoples were largely illiterate. Also they were strong in art, music and poetry although perhaps not in warfare, though they were brave. Even today they are strongly represented in literature an poetry. You don't have to put people down in order to feel proud of anglo-saxon culture.

  • lol... believe me... I know more about the celts then you would ever know, because I am a Celt. I live in Galway, Ireland I speak both Engish and Gaelic( gaelic is the old Celtic language. You are incorrect, perhaps you should read a history book. Thats just like you Anglo- Saxons trying to put us in the same cat. as you. That why their has been war between the Irish and the brits all these years. The Germanic tribes are the anglo saxons tribes... if anything, the celts are closer to anglo- norm

  • @habeeb287 Fuck you,We don't want to be mentioned in the same breath as you inbred celts.Britain was an island made up of celtic tribes,they got their asses kicked by the romans,and pushed to the shithole parts of the island,scotland,wales,cornwall­,and the biggest shithole of all,yours.The Anglo Saxons came over and finished the job,and we are what is left,and proud to be,Anglo fucking Saxon! We are winners,you are losers.Now go and suck father flannigans cock (again!)

  • @marmaduke9

    OK... FAIR ENOUGH, THERE IS NO GETTING THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD YOU SHITHOLE, BUT SWOLLOW THIS ONE. YOU BRITS LOST TO THE AMERICANS DURING THEIR WAR OF INDEPENDENCE OF WHICH A GREAT DEAL OF THEIR SOLDIERS WERE IRISH AND TO THIS DAY THEY SAY THAT MOST OF THE WHITE AMERICANS IN THE U.S. ARMY ARE OF IRISH DESCENT. AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE AMERICANS ARE THE WORLD SUPER POWER. THE BRITS ARE CONSTANTLY SUCKING THEIR DICKS AND TAKING ORDERS FROM THE IN EVERY MAJOR CONFLICT...FAGGOT!

  • @habeeb287 Nah,the scum irish only went over to the US when all the fighting was done.When the spuds ran out (dumb cunts,who grows only one crop?) then they all legged it over there.

  • @habeeb287 Evidence has shown the majority of troops in that war were actually French and also we were fighting a much bigger war which affected the whole of Europe, you know the Napoleonic Wars? Well we had our best troops committed there and beside we got revenge for that war with the victory at 1812.

  • anglo saxon is celtic  u turd

  • @brianrayrich Actually , no...

    Anglos come from germanic tribe in Denmark.

    Celts are whole different people.

  • I loved this movie! Love looking back at the indo-Europeans pre-Christianity. Wish we could get it back to their, then possibly we all wouldn't feel so devoid of culture.

  • Beowulf IS VIKING but was writing but Saxons

  • beowuly was a geet, modern day estonia i think?

  • explain the end bit

    

  • Yes Beowulf and Celt have nothing to do with each other in this respect. The music just fits the video

  • COOL.ENJOY MY ART.

  • Jesus people the creator of this video just used the music because it sounds pretty and it kinda fits beowulfs movie music. this song just so happened to be called CRY OF THE CELTS it does not mean the maker is implying beowulf is celtic

  • @Kuriix - you nailed my intentions exactly!

    Thanks for understanding!

  • @suesnoopp YES AND NO.... BEOWULF IS SAID TO BE VIKING, WHICH INDIRECTLY CELTIC. THE CELTS ONCE INHABITED THE REGION OF NORMANDY AND WAS FORCED OUT BY THE ROMANS AROUND 45 BC. EVENTUALY THE ROMANS PRETTY MUCH SECLUDED THE CELTS TO IRELAND AND NORTHERN SCOTLAND. AROUND 7 AD THE VIKINGS INVADED IRELAND. IT IS SAID THAT NOT ALL VIKINGS ARE ANGLO- NORMAN, BUT ANGLO- NORMAN ARE VIKING. IF NORMAN (NORMANDY) DESCENDENTS ARE ARE CELTS, THAN YOU HAVE VIKINGS/ CELTIC PEOPLE,LOL!!!

  • @habeeb287 you havnt a clue stop talkin shit and read a history book

  • Instead of beowulf, you could use some celts from legends, like Merlin and the king arthur, or maybe Breogan, who maybe really existed. Those are good stories, and are as good as beowulf for example.

  • With due respect to all the (all knowing) indo-europeans on commenting on this clip...What on earth Beowulf got anything to do with the Celts? This saga is a typical Germanic/Scandinavian tale foretold by the Anglo-Saxons before they converted to Christianity. Sum1 need to read their a bit better...

  • Lol Beowulf was from England not Scandinavia or Germany.

  • also i think hes just using celtic music not implying Beowulf is celtic

  • I see some people say he was a Dane Rothgar was the Dane not Beowulf the Danes were a North Germanic tribe residing in modern day southern Sweden and on the Danish islands (and later Jutland). But they where not Geats who were more Scandinavian in origin hope this clears all the confusion....

  • Your all wrong Beowulf was a Geat from Geatland/Gotaland making him SWEDISH! (Viking) (Scandinavian) lol

    The poem was writen in the 8th century by an Anglo Saxon(Germanic)

  • Beowulf is VIKING

  • God, I hated the book! I had to read it my senior year for English.

  • Beowulf is anglo-saxon (germanic), not celt...

  • @Jow45metal not unless he was blond!...i suppose if you dug up his body you could do a dna test on him...other than that theres no real proof to show weather or not he was of Nordic or Celtic bloodline

  • I thought the movie was lame.

    They portray Beowulf as an evil racist and Grendel as misunderstood minority.

    Poor Grendel, he only wanted a better life and to rape white women and the racist whites killed him.

    They twist our own folk tales to make us look bad.

    You're better off reading the poem.

  • @brettrink You misunderstood the point of the whole movie,if you think that

  • @brettrink

    explain!

  • @brettrink WHAT?!?!?! HAHAHAHA! I think if trolls ever did exist they wouldn't be human, possibly more Neanderthal than Human (they recently discovered Europeans once mixed with the Neanderthals around the Caucus mountains.) So Beowulf couldn't be a racist but rather a "speciest." LMAO!!!!

  • @tifacola Speciest...that's probably right. haha!

  • @brettrink, agreed,

  • @brettrink Well, the Celts were/are white so I'm not sure why you said that bit about "he only wanted to a better life and to rape white women", but I don't think this was a bad interpretation, and that's coming from a person of Celtic heritage. The fact that they portray Grendel the way they did, I rather liked it. They didn't portray him as a "misunderstood minority" (at least I didn't think that), tey portrayed him as almost like an ancient human; something from long before they came...

  • @ProphetWolf It's not that they portray Grendel in a more human rather then monster fashion that bothers me, although I think it's less interesting.

    It's the way the Danes are portrayed as the bad guys in general and Beowulf specifically. The female character even says she didn't mind being raped by Grendel but would not want to be raped by a Dane.

    What is the point of this racist comment?

    Why would she want to be raped at all?

    As for Danes, Geats would be more proper.

  • @brettrink The crap part of this theory is that Grendel didn't look particularly dark, more sort of overgrown white... a bit like me, but more coherent, (well after 6 pints). Seriously how the hell you come round to this idea is beyond me.

  • @socrateswept Grendel's physical appearance, although boring compared to the original story, isn't what's at issue. We are made out to be villains in our own heroic folk tales for cheap political gain.

  • @brettrink Oh that's another story entirely... thugh to be fair, I still fail to comprehend the vilany. Oh yeah, Beowulf has nice Post Industrial Humanist row with the King of Danes in the film... BUT I knid of ignored it for the anachronism it was... asigning our morals to people in that time is rather silly. The Danes behaved well, Grendel like the directoy, may have an issue with it. I don't

    ultimately the king should have killed the child too, and that is kind of mentioned.

  • @brettrink Who? Who twists who's tales? Are you a 4th century Anglo Saxon from Denmark?

  • does it REALLY matter when everyone is from? Just be proud for what/who you are and respect other peoples cutlure/tribe :)

  • Gaelic pride 4EVER!!

  • @AmericanWarrior1776 gaelic is celtic an beowulf wasnt

  • beowulf = germanic

  • Wow...seeing this vid makes me wanna see beowulf now....lol REALLY nice suesnoopp :D

  • Irish roots... tis beautiful. and i dont see how vikings in this is funny. indeed love this song. as a dancer, it brings back so many memories. great video, thank you

  • Mmmmmmmmm Mr Butler!!!!!

  • ha stupid beowolf is the first story written in anglo saxon language after they came to england. it's about geats and danes nothin celtic about it good film tho

  • vikings in a Celtic song thats tto funny

  • @yothejobman LOL I know!

  • INDEED TIF X-D

  • LOL, the Roman Catholic singing in the beginning isn't Celtic either! HAHAHAHAAH Contradictions everywhere!

  • Read the comments below! Toonmag50 picks a fight with everyone. He says that he "won't waste my time on this site" but continues to argue and pick fights. If you want a good laugh read below!

  • this is odd because bewolf is not a celtic legend
