Having had the misfortune to watch abovesaid film on the BBC I really must draw attention to it's pretensions. Obviously Beowulf kitted out in some pastiche of what, from a GB point of view, can only be called 'Myth as history' type of film. It sucks as much as Auntie Beeb. Grendel. I suspect some Scandinavians of the present day are making the erroneous assumption that whatever their society is now then it must have been so in the past.
Haha, the reality behind Beowulf has been domne a disservice by those elemnets in society that make the kind of film that King Arthur is. I advise you not to go and watch it because it assumes as the last film assumes the supremacy of the Vikings or even Mohammedans when they are as much myths as Artorios Rex.
Beowulf, the original skalds poem was done a mischief when these "@*&faces thought they could use 'creative' visualisation when it comes to something that is fundamentally at the heart of this nations psyche. Woe betide them. Odin Allfather shall hunt them down as the Wild Hunt courses through the skies.
Damn their eyes!
