With Vinland Saga ending this is the perfect time to drop this! Great movie!
cant seem to find it on patreon :/ any reason why?
Next movie I think you guys should react to is "The Menu" that would be a fun one!
@@InternetZingthey saw it already
Always a good time watching people with a similar humor taste react to movies/shows. You guys should check out Vikings if you haven’t
Man said hard iron like sit pon di cocky lmao
fun fact: The northman story is the story that inspired hamlet... the real story name is the story of Amleth
not to mention that hamlet is just amleth.. but the H is at the beginning
@@paelpageI was just about to mention that as an even funner fact. You beat me to it.
Shakespere! You fuckin’ hack!
Too dig deeper Hamlet was inspired by a Norse legend
@@watevatube to dig even _deeperer,_ that legend was this one.
Amleth was a figure in Scandinavian Legend, which inspired Shakespeare to write “Hamlet”
Yeah, even down to the "mother marries murderous Uncle and weird incestuous themes" part lmao. Also Shakespeare did have a son called Hamnet who died very young. We have no *conclusive* proof that this explicitly inspired Hamlet but I don't think its a coincidence that he wrote many of his most famous tragedies (including the one all about a son and his relationship with a father) after it happened. Pretty sad stuff ngl
What was subversive for the time was that Amleth was constantly taking actions to his very end, and Halmet talked about taking action until his very end.
What's that old saying? There's really only 7 stories. Every movie, book, play, and tv show falls into one of those 7 categories.
‘Trollish Sorcery’ is one of the best lines in recent cinema. It’s like, yeah, that’s why they call it trolling, bro; Trolls do magic and and cause evil mischief.
Definitely one of my favorites.
In the scandinavian languages troll and magic are the same word too. Sorcery in Swedish for instance is trolldom
@@felixhaggblom7562 what a fun fact. Thank you; I’ll have to remember that!
In Swedish the word for magician is "trollkarl" meaning magic man.
12:46 The catching a thrown spear and throwing it back is from "Njáls saga", an Icelandic saga from the thirteenth century that describes events between 960-1020. Neil Price, one of The Northman’s historical consultants said in a interview: It was something Robert Eggers picked up on and thought, “We’ll have that because it looks cool.”
I really love all those saga-inspired elements in the movie. The catching and throwing of a spear is a motif which also appears in other sagas. For example, besides 'Njáls saga', it also occurs in the 'Saga of Hallfred the Troublesome-poet' or 'The Saga of Björn, Champion of the Hitardal People'.
11:55 "This is because there are no women around." Fun fact: One of the motivations for the start of the Viking raids was because there was a noticeable lack of women in Scandinavia. The Vikings practiced polygamy to a substantial degree, so when you have 1 male taking anywhere between 2-10 wives, and then spread that out over a wide continent, there aren't going to be that many partners. One of the benefits of the raids was taking women from other regions and having them fill in all the roles of a woman in a single man's household.
Lots of English have Danish DNA from the raids.
@@MCJOHNSON95 yo bjorn lets snatch some snatch
aight bet
Common practice in a lot of tribal cultures. Done mostly just because the rich and powerful men can do it. However it has the additional benefit of creating a large group of young men with few pacifying influences and not much to lose, who are therefore willing to take a lot of risks to make a name for themselves and seize some property in warfare. You kinda need them if your neighbors have them, or your life is going to be living hell. Sure, by our standards all the characters in this movie are trash human beings, but in that kind of environment being strong is much more important than being nice. Can't just call the cops, and the court is an assembly of your neighbors who'd better respect you if you want justice.
@@theonlylauriso just like today, it always starts with the selfishness of one man
This is total bullshit, stop spreading lies.
33:25 Yes, that is Odin's horse also known as Sleipnir, which has 8 legs.
Really bummed that Odin's horse never got adapted into God of War Ragnarok. Lots of missed opportunities in that game.
@@acidrain92 They mention the story of how the giant who built the walls of Asgard, but brushed past the horse who’d father Slepnir to spare Boi becoming a mother
6 legs
Great film. It depicted the harsh and brutality of Norse culture. Some of the shots in this film were incredible, and I also liked the horror and surreal undertones the film had. The action was also visceral.
The violence is extremely exaggerated. The rituals, architecture, armor, clothing etc. however was very accurate.
Vikings didn't just massacre villages for no reason. That doesn't even make sense. If you destroy a village you can only pillage it once. If you simply walk in and take their stuff, you can come back and pillage it again in a few years. Viking raids were not as violent as usually depicted
@@scythianking7315 It seemed like they were fighting as soldiers or something in an actual war, destroying the village stops that village from producing anything for the country they're invading so it would make some sense in that context.
@@scythianking7315 Those guys clearly weren't normal vikings
@@scythianking7315Vikings also didn't run to war mostly naked wearing wolf heads as hats. I don't think they were supposed to be regular vikings.
@@scythianking7315vikings were very active in European wars. Essentially, being used as mercenaries, also, do you even know what viking means? It's literally the act of raiding, lol
I love this movie, feel like it’s pretty underrated and didn’t get much attention but it’s great to see more people aware of it now
Dawg this movie was hot garbage lmao. Glad you enjoyed it doe lmao
@@shadowgazer97 great insight, really appreciate your critical analysis
@@shadowgazer97then why are you here?
@@duncanbelford6390 LOL love the 'this movie was garbage" and still fucking looks up youtube reactions to it?! LOL wtf ?what tf??
@@SolidRizo I don't agree with him, but you do realize he could be subscribed to YaboyRoshi and didn't actually have to look this video up, right?
Fun little story. I saw this in theaters with my friends. One of my friends is a super wholesome innocent guy that's against cults even in movies, superstitious stuff, anything that goes against God. I was already fully aware of what kind of movie it was going into it but for some reason he seemed persistent on watching this. Let me tell you, when they burned all those kids alive all of us looked over at him and I witnessed a completely broken man. It was beautiful.
Lmao
ohh man poor dood😂
AYO?
@Kashgarisome people just got mad tolerance for the fanatical
@Inquisitor Lol he doesn't make it a part of who he is though he'll avoid it if he can, it's just something we know about him and he doesn't get upset when we make jokes about stuff like that either. He's super chill. Just......very very innocent haha.
The big dude in the game was the same actor who played the mountain in GOT. His name is Halfthor Bjornsson
I watch his streams on twitch he even answered me a question one time
Also, one of the strongest humans to ever live
AND broke a 1000 year old Viking lifting record
I'm quite invested in Viking age culture and history.
This is pretty much the only Viking movie I recommend.
Apart from some very small details, the material culture (costumes and props) is pretty on point.
Most impressive is, that the movie actually committs to rooting it's characters in the actual viking age ethic.
This could actually be a viking age saga.
Also there is a lot of subtext in this movie.
Arvendil and Amleth worship Odin, a god of war and death.
Both live lives of hatred and destruction.
Fjöllnir only kills out of love and because his beloved asks him to.
He worshipps Freyr, a god of fertility.
He is shown hard working and takes good care of his people.
He is content with the life of a farmer and does not seek power or fame.
He lets his slaves have many freedoms and rewards loyalty among them.
He is lenient with Olga's disobedience and let's her choose her own partner.
Viking morality was pretty f'ed up.
Yes, this is probably the only really authentic Viking movie I can think of. Usually, there is either some blatantly ahistorical and immersion-breaking stuff, or the Norse get a shallow celebratory treatment as crazy pagan badasses. At worst they get propped up as an idealized counterpart to caricature Christians (looking at you, AC: Valhalla). This movie takes them seriously, which extends to not sugarcoating the harsh, ruthless and just plain bizarre elements in their way of life.
So when the witch at the beginning said that he would sire a line of maiden-kings if he completed his task, this is what he meant. That he would have a daughter that would be a powerful ruler. But he had to complete the part of prophecy that had him kill his uncle. That's also what the other witch meant by love for your kin or hatred for your enemies.
It was fun part. They actually created fictional lineage for Princess Olga of Kiev (The Maiden King) :)
6:32 "You can just see through beards, nigga?" shit fuckin killed me
I really like how they shot the night/dark scenes in this movie with just enough light to see the important details. It makes those scenes a bit creepy.
This movie is more realistic to the Norse world than anything else
It feels true to sagas more than any show or movie I've seen, and for that reason realism doesn't really matter. A character can catch an arrow with his teeth for all I care as long as it seems like something that would happen in a medieval tale. Every other recent historical movie I've watched has so much modern dialogue and morality that I can't take it seriously.
Roshi being mindfucked the entire movie by Sheera and Lupa's comments were honestly better than the movie itself😂😂 "Depending on how you fall but this a weird conversation"
Spit out my drink when that convo was happening hahaha
This live action Vinland Saga adaptation looks great!
lol if thorfin chose to have enemies
I remember watching this on Patreon a few months ago. Never thought you guys would upload it to UA-cam.
I had seen this movie before. The director (Robert Eggers) has directed three awesome films: The Witch, The Lighthouse (my personal favorite) and this one. And yes, it has some Vinland Saga vibes. 😂🔥
Was the witch the one about the pilgrims?
@@castelox9996 Yeah, kinda. With a black goat and Anya Taylor-Joy.
"THE" Trilogy as I call them.
W taste
Well it has Vinland Saga prologue vibes. It's Thorfinn if his character never developed. I'm not hating on it though, it's a much more accurate representation of VIking culture than anything else out there
Fuckin loved this movie saw it opening night on mushrooms and holy shit what an experience that was. Legit went the next night to watch it sober lmao
Watching weird ass mind bending fantastical Viking movies on hallucinogens is always a good time. Valhalla Rising as well.
Literally did the same. That Berserker scene was intense. I felt my blood boil with adrenaline like I was an actual Berserker.
i need to do a high Robert Eggers' marathon so bad, man, but I'm worried about doing the Lighthouse and the Witch high because those movies are fucking terrifying lol
The Draugr fight is partially inspired by the Saga of Grettir the Strong.
The head-in-the-butt is a way of stopping it from coming back to life; and is one of the predecessors to our convoluted folklore about how to deal with vampires.
56:15 That's the beauty of Robert Eggers, the man loves to replicate the period of his movies as much as possible and he does with so much care and careful research! Which as Sheera said: Without the proper knowledge, can become hard and sort of confusing to understand. But honestly? In my opinion, i love that a director can take risk like that one and not appeal to the general audience by dumbing and simplifying story elements.
Let's all give a shout out to roshi-san!!!!!
12:50 That's actually a real thing that happened. It was recorded in the oral sagas it was considered so bad-ass. A viking actually caught a javelin thrown from the wall of a parapet and threw it back, killing the one who threw it in the first place. I wish I could remember his name, or if his name was even recorded. I know it's somewhere in the Njáls saga.
Y’all droppin movie reactions left and right🔥
That brutal stick and ball game is an Icelandic sport called Knattleikr. It evolved from Hurling, a sport of the Gaelic Celts, and today a nationalsport of Ireland. It was brought to Iceland by Gaels from Ireland. It's a lot less brutal nowadays but it's still an extremely fast and physical game. EDIT: Actually now I remember it, when I was a child I went to see my county play against our neighbour and one of the players was telling the medic to feck off while he had blood pouring down his face😅
Northman has, hands down, the best costumes in a viking film to date. There is some fantasy stuff, like the Valkyrie, but compared to pure fantasy costumes in the vikings, last kingdom, or ac valhalla, this is superb.
Hellblade Senua's Saga was brilliant, and this movie also had many of the same vibes as that game, I agree.
Can't wait for that sequel.
Just wished we could have seen the combat in the recent trailer!
Robert Eggers is one of the great new age directors of our time, love this movie and can’t wait to see what he does next!
He's gonna do a Nosferatu movie next!!
I think something that people should take into account when watching this movie is that the time and culture they were in didn’t have the same moral principles that are contemporary to now. From our perspective, everyone in this movie is a lunatic but we can only speculate how a Nordic person from about a thousand years ago would react to this
“The cub you once hunted ate of your nose.
Now the wolf is grown.
And he hungers for the rest.”
The whole chipping the head and putting the face in the butt thing is actually how vanquishing a drauger is described in Norse mythology
Lupa really out here lookin like Angelica off of Rugrats 💀
The raids by vikings really took place like that. They would get hopped up on shrooms or types of drugs like that. Which explains why he ate dudes face. BTW the witch is BJORK lol
The Varangians(Vikings who went east and ended up employed by the byzantine empire) where known for their "Varangian war dance". In which they worked themselves up to a frenzy and could fight really hard. But afterwards they got so tired that they had to rest for a few days. They could also do it if they were going to work hard carrying stuff and doing physical work. So that part is probably historical.
Having opps during the Viking ages was wild
Like imagine you finally catch that nigga lacking then on they deathbed they start sayin shit like “i pray to the gods above that in 42 moons the Ravens of Odin witness your family bloodline be laid with nothing but strife and blood among the cold frigid snow you curr. May the Valkyrie’s carry my soul ever more to Valhalla”
Like nigga what?????
The earnest "Is that a Panther-Wolf" from Lupa killed me. (22:24)
Glad/surprised you watched this movie, definitely slept on
43:38 god damn that caught me off guard
That bit with the undead Viking was actually all pretty accurate. Even the head up the butt, that was supposedly how you were supposed to make sure the thing stayed down.
Now they have to see the Vikings series! RAGNAR LOTHBROK!!!!!! SKOL!
Something important to remember is that peoples of the past beyond around the 17th and 18th century, viewed the metaphysical world and the real world as basically one and the same. What we call "symbolic" doesn't really have meaning in this case since the gods or god flow through everything and everyone. This movie captures that so well, like with the earth magic scene. To someone who doesn't yet understand chemical influences on nerual function, the ability to literally alter someones mind with a mushroom must truly be magic.
This was the best movie last year hands down - true protagonist journey, looks amazing and great acting.
He made justice for his father’s murder and uncle’s betrayal.
He protected his kin.
He died in battle and goes to the Great Halls.
The ultimate Norse happy ending.
Anya taylor joy is such a good actress
I remember "Welsh Viking" reviewing the trailer and saying "well, that Russian hat is inaccurate, blah blah blah". Whereas if he'd watched the film before commenting he'd have known they're coming from the land of the Rus. He also said, with a smug tone, that there was no real evidence for the existence of berserkers or ulfheidnar. So I sent him the evidence straight from the National Museum of Denmark. I sent the evidence twice but both times my comments got removed. At first I thought it was him being petty but in hindsight I think UA-cam automatically removed my replies because I had links in them. Their idiot algorithm probably thought I was a bot.
Welsh Viking is a clown and super politically biased, and it affects his videos. "No evidence of Berserkers" lmao. There is a TON of evidence
"Been awhile since I had breakfast, Cuz guess what I eat those" 😂
[fox squawking]
"Is that a panther-wolf?"
I suggest „The 13th Warrior“ for a future reaction, if you want to watch something else Viking-Themed. Now, it might not be the most historically accurate movie, but it sure as hell is an epic one and woefully underrated.
Amleth shoves the head up the draugr's rear because in old norse mythology thats the only way to stop them from coming back to life.
Great reaction!
I heard some really good things about this movie, and insisted that my family watch it for movie night... It was quite awkward in places!
this is one of my top movies for 2022. so happy to see people enjoy it too
Anya Taylor-Joy was in director Robert Eggers's first movie The Witch, his next movie The Lighthouse starred Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe. I recommend reacting to these two movies also.
I'm loving how he's using actors from his previous films
This movie is so freaking good. But at times it feels very underrated. Another masterpiece from Robert eggers.
YES! Great after some Vinland.
"It's been a while since I've had breakfast. Cause guess what? I eat those" My god in heaven I hate him soooo much, lmfao. Actual tears bro.
Alexander skarsgård who plays amleth also played eric in true blood and tarzan in legend of tarzan. He is also the older brother of bill skarsgård who played pennywise in it and the marquis in john wick ch.4. Bill was also cast for this movie but had to dropout because of a scheduling conflict caused by the pandemic.
the scenes with bjork give me the scares. her voice is so different than others. when she tells him "begone" and she is just a wooden statue is really good to portrait the spirits and gods and entities that live in the minds of people
The picture of Amleth standing outside their houses going "Woooohh" to scare them while they trippin is one of the funniest things ever.
Rawest version of _Hamlet_ I've ever seen!
this came first
@@chance757 Huh! I learn something new every day! 😄
Erik Northmans back story before he became a vampire
I really appreciate that you guys waited to watch this movie for us to watch but I wish you had seen it on the big screen. This is honestly one of the most visceral yet beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. It should’ve gotten at least 10 nominations at the Oscars, including Best Picture.
This movie is SAVAGE! Definitely makes my Top 10, if not, my Top 20! 🔥
This movie was a fucking experience, the director is one of my favorite current directors working right now, shame it didn't do better in the box office. If you liked this movie, yall should definitely check out "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse", both of which were from the same director.
Live action vinland saga? sick!
Vinland Saga was most likely influenced by the story of Amleth
sheera saying this what men do when they alone is so fuckin hilarious and roshi "when niggas pull up to the fumctiom" sealed it.
Vinland Saga might actually be an anime and manga that would translate to live action well. This film slaps, it's frickin awesome.
The Achmed 'silence i kill you" had me screaming
43:38 oh no i remember where that voice clip is from 😭
Movie: Is about Vikings
"This is just like Vinland Saga."
That's like saying any movie about the Mob is just like The Sopranos.
damn you’re right, maybe they should apologize to the vikings they offended?
Didn't have to go hard on the squeaky toy noise, but you did and I appreciate that. Shit had me rolling.
Since you are into Viking sagas, have you watched the Vikings series? That shi is good.
For me, God of War really helped me understand the mythological aspect. But for the brutality and Viking way, shows like Vinland Saga and Vikings, I was already aware of most of it, thankfully.
i think it partly failed cause it wasnt based on a pre existing IP (the common audience doesnt know hamlet or amleth) and it didnt star an A list actor or Director.
both are beloved but the average dude at walmart don't know who Skarsgaard is.
It failed because it triggered people as itvwas based on European myth.
has Roshi seen the show Vikings because if not i would love to see that lol im on season 5 an it's amazing
lupa fr showed up to record with a full set of antlers
Excellent film. I feel like people were expecting an action-fest for some reason but it is exactly what it is, a slow burn epic that mixes myth with reality, just like the myths and tales of old.
brother and nephew ,is this crusader kings😂
Something that amazed me about this movie is the sheer brutality of their culture. Everyone was cold. There’s no altruistic hero. Him raiding towards the beginning was not good nor evil for him or anyone, it was just their way of life. It’s just the nature of how things were back them. That’s one of the reasons why Christianity rose up. Christians actually tried to change the ways of their own pagan past while the Vikings continued to kill each other for resources and revenge.
Lupa always laughing at his own jokes lmfaoo
This movie was based on an actual norse saga. The same story that inspired macbeth which inspired lion king you can actually match up every character w sum1 from lion king. Almeth obviously simba, aruvandil is mufasa hemir is rafiki, foolnjir is scar and olga is nala and ma dukes is simbas mom.
This is a reminder to watch vikings the show
I watched this on the plane to germany, was pretty freaking cool
This film is great and the director, Robert Eggers is awesome! If you want a mad watch please do The Lighthouse next!
I watched this when it came out, it was atmospheric, sooooo gooood!
13:31 introduced minecraft dungeons to my sister in law just yesterday and because she’s new we had to play on II difficulty levels, this is literally how I felt with my gear 42 poison focus build
Went to watch it with my father, first time I watched something in the cinema with him alone.
I was not expecting this one but I’m so happy you watched this movie. It’s a banger.
lol when I started watching Vinland this year I thought “alright anime Northman “
33:23 the "horse" has eight legs (some made of arms). This is in reference to, and perhaps an offering to Odin's eight legged horse Sleipnir.
Sleipnir is also one of Loki's children, though Loki is his mother. He transformed into a female horse and well. . . you can figure the rest out lol
any role ethan hawk plays i just like him....he's a cool actor man
Half brother/cousin not nephew but still messed up haha
Hamlet / Amleth is such as only story that’s it’s been adapted across every culture around the world by this point. Japan adapted hamlet with Vinland Saga, America adapted it with The Lion King, etc
The twin boy and girl offspring is a reference to Sigmund and Sieglinde.
I love this film, happy to see yall watch it on the channel
29:31 - That "big dude" is Hafþór Björnsson! World record and champion, regarded as one of the greatest strength athletes of all time, and the man that played The Mountain in Game of Thrones! Standing at 6'9, nearly 400lbs, big dude is a fuckin understatement!
let's go I've been waiting for this reaction, onward to Valhǫll
Amleth -> Hamlet -> Simba
Fucking LOVED this movie. Saw it multiple times in theaters. Real shame it didn't do well, it really deserved to. Glad to see people checking it out.
