- Mads Mikkelsen and Nicolas Winding give their perspective at the tiff screening of Valhalla rising on the troubles of filming in wild Scotland, how to choose a role and fighting with one eye.
Thanks. Nicolas W was there at the beginning too but Mads fielded all the questions at the end. He was very nice and aproachable afterward as well!
I don´t think Vahalala Rising is a Shity movie like some people are writing, is hard to understand but for me is a good and dark movie and the performance of Mads Mikkelsen is real perfect. He express everything only with his face. amazing Actor and amazing movie¡¡¡
loved it!
I really liked valhalla rising, man it was great.
Great movie. Weird, but different
Attribution for my comment does not lie entirely with audience. Most cinema releases present us with the same 4 plot lines, the same group of 20 or so actors and every shot is calculated for max. plot advancement.
Letting go of the battle movie I expected in VR and enjoying someones trippy ride was a challenge for me; I did not let go and enjoy the cinematography until the 2nd hour.
I do believe half the audience is thick and oblivious; hence 'Twilight' 'Fast & Furious' and Jennifer Aniston.
@AOTS210 I just bought Valhalla Rising... not watched yet but read so many bad reviews about it all over the internet. But then one stood out and basically said what you said about people being mindless. Only seen the trailer, but from what I've read, it sounds quite thought provoking. I am definately looking forward to watching it!
@AOTS210 Well said, this was not your average formula. Sadly many cinema goers have no real love or even understanding of art.
Although I love Valhalla Rising, I think it is wrong to say a person is stupid for not liking it. We like things for very complex and personal reasons. Like all challenging and different art when the viewer/audience isn't completely passive the rewards are much greater. If you watched Fast & Furious 5 and Valhalla Rising which would you remember better in 20 years time? For me, Valhalla Rising because it was so different and because it made me think and discuss it with other people.
Love Nicolas Winding Refn, he seems a little grumpy in person but hey ho, he's a genius! 21st century Kubrick.
@scmthrasher dont know the smokey gods is, but if u go up far north from what i heard, there is fresh water on top of the salt water = layers
What did the woman at 2:18 ask/say?
@PintoPonyProductions I personally loved it for the art, but then had the 'epiphany' of what the movie ment. :') was brilliant
He is made for one-eye role!!!!!!!!
that movie made me think about the old myth amon the one eyed god who fights evil everyday.that this guy is like the one who receives messages from god(thats why he's psychic and see's the future)like he was the buddha,the krishna,the christ(i think all the same person) at that time or era.and at the end the indians kill him and don't realise this act will lead them to their eventual doom.
Mads is an ANGEL, ADORABLE, LOVABLE, SO NATURAL, BEAUTIFUL.. everything :) and NICE PERSON!
Although I didn't quite get this movie. LOLOL i love him anyways!
You have to look at this with different eyes than the previous movies, you have to look at each movie with a different attitude, if you watch a Disney movie and then x saw you look at them from different angles... Right?...
@PintoPonyProductions
True....
And because of it films like Valhalla Rising, Bronson, etc will get a extremely limited theatrical release.
It's a shame to have to watch real cinema at home....
Its good to a film thats made for adults, most films now are made with teenagers in mind. There are a lot of teenagers though who would appreciate more intellectual films because they aren't stupid, but try telling that to the hollywood system they'd rather make ANOTHER spider man film
@RullestadBros You know you loved the movie ! 3 1/2 out of 4
I had trouble interpreting this movie, to be honest it seems like the film was created out of smite for Christianity. I liked the movie, it tugged at my emotions. One question though, are the people at the end native americans, or mouris?
Phuuk Stick native Americans. They ended up in the New World.
Its very difficult to talk which movie is best and sucks.. Humans have soo different taste of what movies they liked. Thats true!
about modern art:
"I could do that.."
"yeah. but you didn't."
@AOTS210 And people who don't waste their time on movies that have Zero Morales or movies that have no form of entertainment rather than cinematography
@hero0fwar native americans... and i liked that spiteful innuendo on Christianity... was refreshing..... no true V(w)iking would have ever bruised his knees just because some quack in a dress told him it was the truthful path to follow

Funny how people are arguing over a matter of opinion. If you didn't like the movie, too bad. If you did, great. "It sucked" "Nu-uh" "Ya" "No" childish really.
One teenage boy / two tutors and three chaperons. A bit correct i think.
well, being Scottish i'm extremely offended, great.
did he say the women of scotland arent attractive?!?!?!?! thats a whole bunch of BS. he mustve meant the english women
Honey, It's a joke lol he said later which I quote, "Which made my wife very happy." It was part of that joke.
@@rzkrish2775 you just replied to a 10 year old comment...
ART SNOBS ARE THE WORST !
Two words... shitty movie....
Worst fucking movie ever! You didnt get a shit about what the movie was about! Plus it was a fucking silent movie, the dialogue was maybe about 10 minutes of 1 hour and 40 minutes! weirdest movie i have ever seen....if you have a choice, do not see it! people rised up and left their seats on the cinema! so weird
Yeah.........your right. We are just mindless degenerates living in trailer parks waiting for the next near godlike artist to throw a bucket of paint on a canvas and ask for 5 million for it because he thinks it says something.
