And I'm not usually <a href="https://365movies.is/tag/yidio" rel="nofollow">yidio movies</a> one to say that kinda thing about movies. I'm also not one who ever thought I'd watch a movie about MMA fighters. This is Rocky IV good! Simply fantastic! One F-word in it, despite being PG-13, just as a warning if you have kids and that maters to you. Otherwise WOW, kick butt movie!Tom Hankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361780503834816606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674725971124415095.post-37304485493519964842016-08-09T11:06:29.531-07:002016-08-09T11:06:29.531-07:00Much agreed, Vredes Stall.Much agreed, Vredes Stall.dndgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021913870629526375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674725971124415095.post-88393352594107514382014-10-16T17:21:11.834-07:002014-10-16T17:21:11.834-07:00Quote:

The poem, on the other hand,<br />specifically depicts Hrōðgār praising Bēowulf in the knowledge<br />that he, Bēowulf, would never do something so loutish".<br /><br />Not to sound like a wise-@$$...<br />but you were dead wrong.<br /><br />Of course...<br />I know that this was **just** a picture show<br />and I dont mean to read into it to deeply...<br /><br />...but in defense of Buliwyf<br />when we are first introduced<br />to him at his predecessor's funeral...<br /><br />...he was clearly in a festive, jolly mood<br />(if not a bit swished and three sheets to the wind)<br />and was just trying to enjoy himself and was very affable,<br />friendly & out-going towards the Arabs and even asks<br />(in effect, complements) Fadlan to sing a song for him...<br /><br />...when he, Buliwyf, is attacked without warning<br />from his fellow tribesman/ rival who was clearly<br />the aggressor & bidding his time with a concealed weapon<br />and Buliwyf kills him quickly in self defense...<br />so if anyone was being "loutish"...<br />it was the jealous rival who clearly<br />picked a fight with the wrong person.<br /><br />I should also add that I really admired<br />Buliwyf's character in the movie...<br /><br />...and the only criticism I would give is when he<br />responds to Prince Wyglif's lecture and insults him<br />about murdering his own brothers...<br /><br />...which (initially, anyway) seemed rather rude and uncalled for<br />especially since Buliwyf insulted Wyglif right in front of<br />King Rothgar (Wyglif's father) as well as everyone else.<br /><br />...but looking back on it,<br />(and purhaps unknown to the audience)...<br />Buliwyf may have already been well aware of<br />and disgusted by Wyglif's deception and<br />history of sneaky, under-handed tactics<br />(not to mention, cold-blooded<br />murder of his brothers)...<br /><br />...and Buliwyf was making his presence known<br />and was letting Wyglif know in no uncertain terms<br />that he (Buliwyf) knew exactly what kind of person<br />Wyglif was and what he was up to...<br /><br />...and (as demonstrated when we are<br />first "introduced" to Buliwyf and his rival,<br />both in the novel as well as the film)...<br /><br />...that these Northmen are constantly at war not only with outsiders<br />(such as the Tartar raiders who fled at the mere site of the Vikings)...<br /><br />...but even more so amongst themselves<br />and Buliwyf was all to aware of the constant,<br />perpetual state of competition of the ultra,<br />war-like society that he lived in and simply<br />made it a point to never, ever let his guard down...<br /><br />...and wasnt shy about making others<br />(especially potential rivals)<br />that he was playing with a full deck...<br /><br />...which he further elaborated upon<br />when he and Herger cleverly set up<br />and made an example with one of<br />Wyglif's unsuspecting henchmen...<br /><br />...again,<br />in full sight of everyone else when they discovered<br />that Wyglif was ever-so-ightly pushing his own<br />brand of "luck".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800200890199422658noreply@blogger.com
