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.

All you defenders of the dragon...Such wimps. Don't forget that the dragon called out to Siegfried first....The dragon challenged him...
Besides...What is important is that because he is King Siegfried, dragons must be slayed. And Siegfried shows us that when dragons are slayed, we gain more power. It is all metaphorical....and beautifully done.

Siegfried was a fruity piece of goddamn dogshit though for killing the dragon...

The German tale of Siegfried is going to be in Quentin Tarantino's new film "Django Unchained"

Siegfried fights like a girl and picks on poor, defenceless dragons.
He sure was. Poor dragon! He was just drinking water and minding his own business.
