Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene in which the Úlfhéðnar attack the Slavic town, Amleth catches a spear in midair and throws it back at the Slavs in one movement. This is taken from the medieval Icelandic story of Njáls saga in which Audolf throws a spear at the Viking hero Gunnar, but Gunnar catches it in midair and throws it straight through Audolf and his shield.
- GoofsThe runic inscription of "Amleth's Saga" is written incorrectly in the movie version as opposed to the trailer of The Northman where it is correct. The title shown in the trailer written with runes can be translated to "amluthasaka" or amlóða saga, amleth's saga.
However at the end of the actual movie the title is missing the rune of "a" from its word saga, making it read akin to "Amleth's sga".
- Quotes
Young Amleth: I will avenge you, Father! I will save you, Mother! I will kill you, Fjölnir!
- Crazy creditsThe film title and the intertitles appear in ancient Norse runes.
Featured review
All mixed up
I decided to watch northman because of the great trailer and Alexander Skarsgard. I like everything Alexander is engaged with.
However, I was disappointed. It's a weird movie. A surreal type of movie mixing visions, supernatural aspects and real life plot all together in one. And that really screws it up! When you are on the verge of engaging into the movie it throws at you a supernatural/lyrical/metaphorical type of scene that puts you out of the mood right away. It's like a musical when actors and plot are trying to be beliecable and then they just start singing iand dancing. And ok you know what to expect if you go to a musical but not in a supposed to be accurately depicted viking movie. It becomes surreal and you just get bored. Too theatrical for me.
On the plus side the era is probably the most accurate depiction in a vikings movie and the cinemetagrophy is great too. That saves it a bit l, otherwise I would have scored it no more than 3 stars.
