This is the part where he's swimming with that asian-y guy right?

[SuperVegettoV3]

Yes

[biochemist007]

I've seen beowulf 5 times now, still loved it

three times i paid and twice i snuck in the cinema.....

bigger the screen, the better the effects

[jekobie]

the dragon that beowulf fights isnt his son neither is grendel hrothgars son. in the real epic grendel and his mother were decendents of cain.

[sirnippip]

at first i was mad with the movir too, but if you think about it i do not think that they where trying to pull off the old epic. I think they where trying a tale that got distorted as it passed through time kind of thing, like beowulf wasnt actually as heroic as he was in the "stories".

[dudesaysomg]

so cain was a half-man half-demon?

[smole133]

The beginning of the track is magnificent. The best track of the soundtrack, to me.

you have to remember that the stupid, horrible movie absolutely DESTROYED the actual tale. In the epic, he actually does kill the sea monsters, there was no mermaid. There are so many discrepancies that a fan of the epic is disgusted by the movie. I know I was!

o great. here's another gobshite!

[flamedemon2]

and so y are you calling him gobshite if its just a movie lol sides its not just a movie its one of the oldest stories known

[blackjamm]

No, definitely in the poem.  I promise. Look it up - Beowulf's conversation with Unferth.

[CrackbackHorde]

in the movie but not in the myth...

[blackjamm]

You are in fact incorrect. In the text, Beowulf explains to Unferth that whilst racing Breca he was attacked by a sea monster and, being dragged to the bottom of the sea, he had to kill it.

[Krindel123]

the original reason was he stopped and helped the opponent b/c he was drowning, ( b/c they were friends). but the guy took all the credit for the win. and Beowulf didn't care. That was in the text.
