  • Superb. But why that stupid indian music ?

  • Well. I suppose that it is always hard to have a movie based on a great epic and so I should not be too stern with poor Monsieur Lang! Though the movie is a masterwork with solemn music, amazing acting, a very impressive scenery and brilliant filming; but then again: This is the Song of the Nibelungs and like all attempts to made a movie based on the Iliad are bound to fail; so Monsieur Lang should have just chosen a part of the epic like the Greek tragedians did with Homer.

  • And I dislike some of the actors: Hagen should be more the grey-haired heroic warrior of the saga and not the sly weaklings as he is shown here; Siegfried is alright with me, but that is only because I don’t fancy this hero that much; Kriemhild is well chosen and so is Brunhild, the bard Volker is of course my favourite character of the saga and here he is at least acceptable; but King Gunther is misplaced; and that Hagen’s brother Dankwart is missing is not to be endured!

  • While I wonder of Monsieur Lang would have been able to make such an epic version as a dialogue film instead of a silent movie; and can’t help to think of a version of the Nibelungs made like a combination of Lord of the Rings and Peter Brook’s Mahabharata; and they should have depicted Attila and his Huns more closely to the saga, which shows the scourge of God as a wise and mighty king (modelled after the medieval Hungarian kings), being caught in the cunning scheming of Kriemhild.

  • Thank you!
