The first verses of Beowulf recited in Old English (Anglo-Saxon) combined with scenes from the 2006 Motion Picture "Beowulf and Grendel" and the Braveheart soundtrack. I have included Fan Art as well.

surprised to hear a lot of Frisian in it. Some words didn't change that much over time

Language is a living and constantly evolving. The reason why you cannot understand this old English is because much like all languages, it becomes integrated with new words from other cultures and also disappears. Much like new word "Internet" and an old one from "Thy" or rarely used "Ergo". Thanks to the global communications, our English language will evolve even quicker. The path it'll take is unknown but I can tell you that within 100~200 Years, English will be unfamiliar to you.
