Help any films with viking stuff?

[AngelHeal]

ey, im kinda bored to watch all the iraq / (oldskool) china war films etc..

are there any cool viking/norseman films?

except pathfinder

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah, if someone says Pathfinder i'm gonna go ballistic

F*cking savages and NOT vikings in that one. Honestly, could write an essey on what was f*cked in it.

I'd suggest 13th warrior(antonio banderas). Sure, hollywood, but it is based(very loyally) on eaters of the dead. Eaters of the dead is the stories of Ibn Fadlan, a mormon who goes on a voyage/adventure with vikings.

Potrays vikings in a very real way.

Also, another one that potrays vikings really good is the 3d movie, wat was it...angelina jolie and....umm...beowulf?

Pathfinder is quite good...

Not my kindof film,sorry

As a movie, maybe, as a portrait of vikings it's appauling. As they are "shown as vikings" there.

As in norwegian/swedish etc. Germanic savages those guys, nothing more.

 

[Helme]

Beowulf & Grendel I guess could be considered Viking-ish(not the animated one, the one with Gerard Butler from 05).

There was also the comedy from the 80s around Erik the Red, can't remember it's exact name however.


Anyhoo; Keyword: Viking...

[pez]

Although my memory of the film is hazy and i have never read the book i assume he meant Muslim/Moor

 

[Lollie]

the vikings ( The Vikings (1958) )

A MORMON?

I don't think America was discovered in 9th century?

The book of mormon says that Joseph Smith discovered gold plates that he translated in America...

The Book of Mormon was first published by Joseph Smith, Jr. in March 1830 in Palmyra, New York. According to Smith's written account, the book is a translation of gold plates which contained the writings of prophets in ancient Meso-America between approximately 600 BC and AD 400. The text on these plates is said to have been written in a language that Smith called Reformed Egyptian.[3] The plates were buried by Moroni, the last of these prophets, at a hill called Cumorah. Smith said that on September 22, 1827 he received the plates from an angel named Moroni and was directed to translate them using two stones called the Urim and Thummim that were deposited with the plates. In addition to Smith's account, eleven others signed affidavits that they had seen the gold plates for themselves. Their written testimonies are known as The Testimony of Three Witnesses[4] and The Testimony of Eight Witnesses.[5] These affidavits are published as part of the introductory pages to the Book of Mormon.[6]

 

[old.Tohtori]

I can't be bothered to look up "proof" at work, but they were called mormons back then via followers of mormon, the prophet living back then.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Though have to say, i might confuse my memory of Ibn Fadlan speaking of mormon, but i'm fairly certain he was called that too...

 

[AngelHeal]

has allways been inhabited soo... discoverd?

 

[Levin]

Aah I found the film I was going on about. It's called Flight of the Raven in English. Here's a link.

Hrafninn flýgur (1984)

Brutal and very vikingish. And Icelandic, hehe.

Not to mention the viking guy who "formed" iceland(can't remember name, redbeard or some such) went there, thought it's a sh*tty place and pissed off

 

[Ezteq]

Beowulf & Grendel I guess could be considered Viking-ish(not the animated one, the one with Gerard Butler from 05).

aw jeesus that film was so goddamned bleak! and tbh i felt sorry for grendel, have to say i did not like that film one bit, it upset me and left me feeling hollow at the end.

think lollie mentioned it but the film Vikings with kirk douglas in it is a rip roaring viking adventure, place your tounge firmly in your cheek while watching it and youll be fine.


aside from that i cant think of any

maybe just go buy a copy of The Sun newscomic and read Hagar the horrible though?

King Features Syndicate - Comics
