I love how even the dog is getting on the action and kicking ass and taking names. That dog is faitheful too. You can tell by his whining when Buliwyf dies.
One of the greatest battle scenes in an action movie.Vladmir Kulich was a perfect choice for Buliwyf..He was believable in that role. I wished that he had been cast in the Thor Movie.(if the Thor movie had been much better than it was) This movie had an excellent cast overall for the warriors.I mean Tony Curran,Dennis Storhoi...I like Antonio Banderas also, but I wished the director had taken a chance and cast a true middle easterner.I love this movie though.
People seems to forget that it was'nt only Sweden, but all of scandinavian was vikings like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland... Dont forget that

@islanderboi89 That is because it is a complete rip off of the 7 samurai. That was followed by the magnificent seven. Much of Kurosawa's saurai stuff was turned into cow-boy, or other, stuff at one point.
@owenmatthewaurelio LOL the saga of Beowulf.. Which is what this is losely based came LONG LONG before Kurosawa............ The Grendle..... The hall...
@islanderboi89 yeah i know lol said it reminds me not "it kinda looks similar to" and Kurosawa was influenced by westerns, so everything came back full circle.
If i were a viking,i think i would have an ending like buliwyf had.....He had some minutes left to live,overwhelming enemy cavalry attack,nothing left to lose but his honor,in which he upheld by taking out their chieftain...
Great film, very inspiring. But you would not have been happy to be in East Britain (Norfolk and Suffolk) when the Vikings came raiding. They eventually settled peacefully in England. However, as many subsequent Spanish, French and German would be tyrants found out, they never lost their courage nor their ability to win a war against all odds.
I know few Swedish.I really really don't see anything of Viking temper left within them,nothing at all!WTF happened?For example we Serbs are just as idiotic and insane as we were back in 1300s.We fuckin lost our Empire and started our downfall in 1371 because our solgiers were so confident vastly outnumbering Turks that they got really really drunk so when Turks attacked they couldn't even stand up,and acting completely irrationally started berserking and running.Most of 'em drowned in Marica

"They carry clean clothes and the men adorn themselves with bracelets and gold. They treat their slaves well and also they carry exquisite clothes, because they put great effort in trade. They have many towns. They have a most friendly attitude towards foreigners and strangers who seek refuge."(Aḥmad Ibn Rustah, a persian explorer)
@LastRussianEmporer An Arab emissary (Antonio Banderas) to the Rus volunteers to go with a group of Vikings on their quest to save a Norse village from some ominous threat.
Antonio Banderas is from Spain,not Mexico,if anyone has the right 2 say they shared time in history with the Muslims is the Spaniards..The Ottoman empire conquered half of Spain for over 900 years.they still share many things like words and customs.
@LastUser1000 It was not the Ottoman empire who conquered Spain, It was The Arab Muslims ( the Ummayed), The Ottoman were Muslims too but they were Turkic!
and the arab lived in Spain from 711 CE to 1609 after the expulsion of the Moriscos by Philip III
I love this film but the Norse did not just fight small actions. They took half of England, Ragnar defeated Charles the Bald and ransomed Paris, Rolph the Granger took Normandy and impacted the history of the world, not mention Rurik and his Swedes in Russia.

Skåda, Där ser jag min fader Skåda, Där ser jag, min mor, min syster och min broder Skåda, Där ser jag Blodslinjen av mitt folk Tillbaka till begynnelsen Skåda, Dom kallar på mig Dom bjuder mig till att ta min plats ibland dom I Valhallas salar Där dom modiga må leva förevigt
What language is this?The syntax seems similar to English, and some of the words seem as though they may be the original template for the English words, like Blodslinjen, which I read as the English "bloodline"; a synonyn for ancestors in this context. Also, "fader ", "syster" and "broder", are only a few letters away from "father" "sister" and "brother". I know English has roots in the Scandinavian and Germanic tongues, so it would be interesting to know which this is.
@ishtarg8 In case you haven't gotten an answer yet, it's Swedish. You can most easily see it in the grammar since the German grammar is more alike the English than what the Swedish is :) (My own opinion tough)
Is the language the Vikings are speaking at the beginning of the movie (in the English version, at least), until Ibn Fahlan "learns" their language also Swedish?
@ishtarg8 I haven't actually seen the movie so I searched on youtube.It was poor quality but from what i could hear this is what language I think it is: It's definitively not the modern type of Swedish, more sort of a mix of Swedish and Norwegian with a hint of English accent on some of the words, don't know if that's because of the actors (the English part) or not since Swedish have evolved since the Viking time ;)
From what you're saying; it sounds as though the filmmakers found an expert in the Viking language to coach the actors; or perhaps linguists cobbled together something from modern Swedish and Norwegian that seemed appropriate. If it is genuine Viking, they will have had to guess at accents; their sources will all be written. Otherwise, language does evolve; Chacerian English is very different from the modern version.
@ishtarg8 Yeah I think so too, in any case it's very well done I think :)
Yeah, I've studied a bit on the English language and the oldest text I read was ALMOST like a whole other language, but you could still see how it had evolved. Very fascinating!
@ishtarg8 I really don't know, i just found it on Google:D, but i thing it's Swedish or Norwegian, all germanic languages are quite simular, it's easy to guess the meaning.
@sogyounokotowari no :D but i hope i'm an offspring of one of the Swedens who fouht in Bohemia(my homeland) during Thirty Years' War, i feel like a Northman!!!
I heard there's a juicy uncut version in some vault cause the director and Michael Crichton ahd disagreements. Can't wait to see this uncut in Blu ray. Still the movie was great. Underated.
@Red0100 ahh I agree that is a requirement. However in the modern world many battles are fought. In the end it is Odins decision who has died in battle and whom has died a warriors death. Neither you or myself is qualified to make that decision my friend.
"It;s a small matter", when the leader not being able to fight was mentioned
The end of the battle when the leader kills the enemy leader, sits on a make shift throne after stabbing his broadsword into the wood next to him and finally sucumbs to the poisonous scratch of the enemy leader's mate
Now THIS is how I wanna die. I realize that with guns and a lack of an evil horde thats not going to happen, but this is how a warrior/hero goes to God. When I go back home I want the echo of my war cry still around me and a good legacy behind me.
Actually they are hated because they are the Chosen people as their God said and uses other cultures and people to punish them if they did anything to anger him... and GOD, even though I am not a religios person in the monotheistic sense, did they do a lot to anger their own God. ^___^ They deserve to be hated based on their own beliefs.
@Phireo Actually, these man made gods that were worshipped through time don't exist. It's all a creation in our defective minds. A psychological error. I'm not saying there isn't a god at all, I'm just saying mankind is flawed and ignorant. You can't anger your god if you don't know what the rules of your god really are. Until an actual god appears, we will never know what a god wants from us. An actual god probably won't ever appear because it hasn't yet.
According to Quantum philosophy you are right, but we all know that is an incomplete bullshit. It's logic says that I did not exist until you saw my comment, which I know is not true. Existance is not a point of view, its definition and sense only is. Hatred is a feeling, something we all have. That it is ignorant just shows hypocrisy in most occasions. Someone destroys everyone dear to you and I would dare you to say that again. Most people who let live are dead now.
Of course, I did not try to insult, for that I am sorry. Well, about your suggestion,... a lot of Tibetans, Jesus, more modern example would be, 2nd World War's Hebrews in Germany and near it, many Ossetians in these last years of Georgian aggression, any collateral victim of a street shooting in the U.S., Brasil,... and any victim of a street bombing in Iraq, Iran, Israel, Pakistan,... That's about the let live, about the hate, just think about it, what does it mean to hate.
@Phireo I understand war will always exist but I try to let everyone do what they want and not interfere with them. Unless they're harming innocent people. Like how the Catholic Priests are molesting little boys in record numbers. I don't appreciate those kind of men. Most of the religious people I've met are not weighted in reality very well. They're a bit out of touch of the facts and they're usually slightly insane or have a personality disorder or identity disorder.
Well, you could also say you hate them, those people, maybe not really much, but enough. The thing is, you can control yourself and use that hate in constructive ways, not all people are like that, many more are even deceived by others. We live in an age where there's a lot of violence, probably right because athorities don't use violence. As with a child, controlled violence with a purpose can save someone from a lot worse fate. About hebrew faith, I was just pointing their history.
I'll try to explain myself and what I think about hate, facts can hardly be posted about it because they are deceiving most of the times as people are interested in mass tragedies caused by hate more than constructive application of it, and they remember it well. Hate in many sports help one to prevail the other, duel sports for example. You can't hate someone if the thing he has done is not important, thus shows you that you care, both to you and to others. Control is still needed.
what has happened to most men in these generations? so thin and weak, its a good thing our viking ancestors cant see most men in these weak pitiful times...

I know this is from the book by Michael Crichton and it follows the original book very closely.
I think MC got the story from a real account by an Arab trader and the Beuwulf tale combined.
It's an excellent film and a few more dollars and CGI would have put it up there with Lord of the rings.
Does anyone however know how accurate the Viking prayer actually is and if so please pass the source on to me.
Good post and a great movie.

@ishtarg8 I haven't actually seen the movie so I searched on youtube.It was poor quality but from what i could hear this is what language I think it is: It's definitively not the modern type of Swedish, more sort of a mix of Swedish and Norwegian with a hint of English accent on some of the words, don't know if that's because of the actors (the English part) or not since Swedish have evolved since the Viking time ;)

From what you're saying; it sounds as though the filmmakers found an expert in the Viking language to coach the actors; or perhaps linguists cobbled together something from modern Swedish and Norwegian that seemed appropriate. If it is genuine Viking, they will have had to guess at accents; their sources will all be written. Otherwise, language does evolve; Chacerian English is very different from the modern version.

@ishtarg8 Yeah I think so too, in any case it's very well done I think :)
Yeah, I've studied a bit on the English language and the oldest text I read was ALMOST like a whole other language, but you could still see how it had evolved. Very fascinating!

@ishtarg8 I really don't know, i just found it on Google:D, but i thing it's Swedish or Norwegian, all germanic languages are quite simular, it's easy to guess the meaning.

@Red0100 ahh I agree that is a requirement. However in the modern world many battles are fought. In the end it is Odins decision who has died in battle and whom has died a warriors death. Neither you or myself is qualified to make that decision my friend.

Two things I'll remember besides this scene.
"It;s a small matter", when the leader not being able to fight was mentioned
The end of the battle when the leader kills the enemy leader, sits on a make shift throne after stabbing his broadsword into the wood next to him and finally sucumbs to the poisonous scratch of the enemy leader's mate

Viktir666 1 year ago
@Viktir666
Actually they are hated because they are the Chosen people as their God said and uses other cultures and people to punish them if they did anything to anger him... and GOD, even though I am not a religios person in the monotheistic sense, did they do a lot to anger their own God. ^___^ They deserve to be hated based on their own beliefs.
Phireo 1 year ago
@Phireo Actually, these man made gods that were worshipped through time don't exist. It's all a creation in our defective minds. A psychological error. I'm not saying there isn't a god at all, I'm just saying mankind is flawed and ignorant. You can't anger your god if you don't know what the rules of your god really are. Until an actual god appears, we will never know what a god wants from us. An actual god probably won't ever appear because it hasn't yet.
Hatred is ignorant. Learn to let live
Viktir666 1 year ago
@Viktir666
According to Quantum philosophy you are right, but we all know that is an incomplete bullshit. It's logic says that I did not exist until you saw my comment, which I know is not true. Existance is not a point of view, its definition and sense only is. Hatred is a feeling, something we all have. That it is ignorant just shows hypocrisy in most occasions. Someone destroys everyone dear to you and I would dare you to say that again. Most people who let live are dead now.

Of course, I did not try to insult, for that I am sorry. Well, about your suggestion,... a lot of Tibetans, Jesus, more modern example would be, 2nd World War's Hebrews in Germany and near it, many Ossetians in these last years of Georgian aggression, any collateral victim of a street shooting in the U.S., Brasil,... and any victim of a street bombing in Iraq, Iran, Israel, Pakistan,... That's about the let live, about the hate, just think about it, what does it mean to hate.
Phireo 1 year ago
@Phireo I understand war will always exist but I try to let everyone do what they want and not interfere with them. Unless they're harming innocent people. Like how the Catholic Priests are molesting little boys in record numbers. I don't appreciate those kind of men. Most of the religious people I've met are not weighted in reality very well. They're a bit out of touch of the facts and they're usually slightly insane or have a personality disorder or identity disorder.

@Viktir666
Well, you could also say you hate them, those people, maybe not really much, but enough. The thing is, you can control yourself and use that hate in constructive ways, not all people are like that, many more are even deceived by others. We live in an age where there's a lot of violence, probably right because athorities don't use violence. As with a child, controlled violence with a purpose can save someone from a lot worse fate. About hebrew faith, I was just pointing their history.

Viktir666 1 year ago
@Viktir666
I'll try to explain myself and what I think about hate, facts can hardly be posted about it because they are deceiving most of the times as people are interested in mass tragedies caused by hate more than constructive application of it, and they remember it well. Hate in many sports help one to prevail the other, duel sports for example. You can't hate someone if the thing he has done is not important, thus shows you that you care, both to you and to others. Control is still needed.

Thus Odin was called All-father,
like the Mighty One who was at "time's first
dawn", because he was father of the gods;
and Val-father, the father of the brave
who dwell in Valhal in high Asgard.
Great was Tyr, the war-god, who gave valour to warriors and by whom he was invoked.
