People complain that the way Beowulf killed Grendel in this movie wasn't as badass as in the epic poem, but I think he more than made up for it in this scene where he TEARS A DRAGON'S FUCKING HEART OUT.
Smithkakarot I think this movie was supposed to be the REAL version of the story, notice how the kids who reenacted the time he slayed Grendel, it showed the impersonation of him tearing off Grendel's arm with his bare hands? I think that this movie was trying to be the realistic version of the tale, the story that the poem was based on. :3 That's just what I think, if you analyze the movie it makes sense.
***** You're right, the directors envisioned this as the "true" legend of Beowulf, that he was an unreliable narrator. This is hinted at when he claims he was pulled into the ocean in the jaws of a sea monster, but his memory depicts him being enchanted by a mermaid.
+Greenhorn Films the real version of the story is the actual story. Beowulf tore out the Grendels arm, decaitate Grendel's mother, and killed a dragon with a goddamned Hunting knife. Anything else is a reimagining. Still, ripping a dragon's heart out: very badass.
This film takes a whole host of liberties with the source material, and I think it does an amazing job at it. At its core, the original poem is about a legendary hero who defeats monsters and builds his name, and that’s essentially all it is. What this adaptation does is it portrays a man, gifted with heroic abilities and superhuman qualities, who defeats the monstrous failings of lesser men before him, but who is ultimately flawed and defeated by his own innate failings - not as a man, but as the heroic figure he strives to be. The ‘Beowulf’ we see is heroic not because he surpasses other men and their flaws, but because he fails just like other men and eventually defeats his shame - embodied by the dragon - despite it all. Each hero’s life is inseparably tied to their shame, Hrothgar ends his own life after Grendel’s death and the naming of Beowulf as his successor (successor to both his kingdom and his doom) as he is now free (in a literal sense) of shame, though he did not personally overcome his failings as a hero - remaining a flawed man. Beowulf, however, dies a hero, a god who succumbs to his fatal, mortal flaw - that he is, in actuality, only a man - yet he manages to defeat the symptoms of that flaw: lust for power and, most of all, pride. The man we see on the shore, speaking his final words, is heroic not because he slew monsters, but because he recognised the universal monsters within himself, that inhabit all men, and earned his hero status by defeating them, sacrificing himself in the process of transcending human nature. TLDR: Beowulf is the archetypal Thäd, very based adaptation.
yeah i liked the fact that they made the dragon his child with grendel's mom, in the original poem the dragon is completely unrelated to him or grendel's mom

I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! I AM BEOWULF!
I don't think a hero like this would have wanted to leave the world any other way...holding the crushed heart of a monstrous foe after saving the lives of the women he loves. Thoroughly epic!
There’s some moments in cinema where what we see and what we hear marry in such a way that make the hairs on the back of our necks stand. Beowulf is criminally underrated.
How this movie bombed at the box office I'll never understand, it's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I'm personally fond of how they designed the dragon. In my personal opinion it's the best depiction of how a dragon should look like and behave in a movie, ever.
The looks and maybe because people who watched thought there was smth wrong with it, like how they try to make monsters who kill with no mercy relateable or how the lynchpin of the moral of the movie has Beowolf accept a deal with a monster that really saves him from a fight he should be confident he can win...
It’s was just ahead of it’s time. That’s all. Like any cult classic… give it a few years. Now everyone loves it. It took a few years for it to grow on me
+Jakob Parker Batman, superman, spiderman, all those heroes have nothing on beowulf. A regular man with no superpowers.. He defeated his enemies with sheer courage and braveheartedness.
Doom Killer no they haven't. MAYBE batman but superman and Spider-Man had super powers. And superman doesn't rlly have to be afraid of much. He can literally speed blitz all his enemies. Or most of them.
TupacolypseNow Actually, Beowulf is superhuman. He’s strong enough to spin around a chain spoil around his head and throw it across the room with only one arm, all while holding back Grendel, who was running away from him.
I think the dragon represents Beowulf's vanity, his sin, his failure. Beautiful and golden on the outside but corrupt on the inside. And this is the moment that he owns it, takes responsibility for himself but the price is his own life. Because this sin made his life what it was and to end it, it would mean ending his life as well. Poetic. One cannot exist without the other. Thus king and sin fall together, but at least the cycle was broken with him. That is, as long as Wiglaf doesnt bone Angelina Jolie 😌
The dragon's presence was foreshadowed by Beowulf himself: "I am tearer, reaper, slasher, gouger. I am the teeth in the darkness, the talons in the night, mine is strength and lust and power! I am BEOWULF!"
@@brucegilbert625 I don’t think that’s what he meant. He said that Wiglaf was on Hrothgar’s level, and that is simply not true… Wiglaf was a great warrior, very disciplined and did not like to indulge in alcohol… he was more like Belwulf than like Hrothgar.
*Beowulf is confronting Grendel’s mother and gets ready to kill her* “FINISH HER!!!” *The two characters embrace each other instead* “BEOWULF WINS! FRIENDSHIP. FRIENDSHIP?!?!?!”
His roar after ripping out the dragons heart is enough to send chills down the spine of even the bravest men because they know…..this man slays monsters not men
Here's the messed up part, the director wasn't a fan of the poem. He just liked the script. But the script is disloyal to the poem! Grendel isn't Hrothgar's son, Grendel's Mother wouldn't seduce her son's killer and the dragon ain't Beowulf's son. That being said, this is by far the best adaptation of the poem on screen by a mile...so far.
But that's not entirely true. Remember during one scene of the movie when the dragon told unfero that he has a message for his father? Who was the father after Beowulf killed grendel? Beowulf man. I understand you are referring to the actual script poem etc but for the movie you cannot simply suggest that the dragon isn't Beowulf son.
I know I'm 4 years late, but in a way they are their kids. Not in the biological sense, but grendel is hrothgar's sin, while the dragon is Beowulf's sin. These two monsters wouldn't exist without hrothgar and Beowulf, since it's their sin. Hrothgar is laziness and greed, while Beowulf is pride, if any of this makes sense.
I’ve always preferred the movie’s ending to the original. Not because it’s more climatic, but because it feels more true to the character of Beowulf. For example, they point out in the original that Beowulf struggles to use weapons because they tend to brake in his hands. It’s implied that this weakness is part of the reason he chooses to fight Grendel barehanded. As a result, it feels more fitting that he finishes off the dragon with his hand rather than his blade.
He couldn’t reach the heart with a fully extended sword but he can palm it 10 seconds later... seems legit. Also good thing that last bite was in slow mo.
oswaldo padilla umm what? Lol what even is this comment?? Try again my dude. This time, don’t say something stupid af. “I don’t see you trying to stab a dragons heart so stfu”. Lmao ima laugh at this one for a bit.
The second time he gave himself momentum by pushing himself against the dragon and swinging back like a pendulum. You would have to do some numbers to see what was physically more realistic, like the length of the dagger, how much he could fit more into the dragon's hole, etc. but both are possible.
As someone who's read the old story yall need to chill tf out its a movie a badass viking movie at that, i wouldn't have it any other way. "Shoulda kept to the story" well tbh as good as the story really is, this is more cinematic worthy so all yall stop whining for the love of christ.
Jordan Bowen I could not understand the story at all, book movies help me understand these things 1000 times better. Like seriously, y'all see the grendel? That thing was way more terrifying in the movie, and he was already terrifying to begin with!
Agreed. The whole theme of the film is that the legend is never quite the reality....hinting that the warrior poem is a romanticized retelling of THIS story. Seemed pretty evident to me upon my first viewing
@@razorfett147 It's just more postmodernist deconstruction of all our heros. It's trash. Beowulf was never meant to be a weak character to be seduced. His sheer balls to the wall badassery was his biggest flaw. It's even in his name. He had the capacity to be as brutal as the monsters he fought.
What I appreciate about Beowulf's confrontation with the dragon is in the admitting that the hero doesn't always live through a fight with a dragon. They can't all be Saint Georges.
I love this movie. It honours our Anglo-Saxon-Vikng heritage. It changes the story from what we were taught in school but I think it adds good twists to it. But its funny how grabbing the dragons heart makes me think of an episode of Ali G.
Just put aside the original poem for a while, and enjoy the movie as a story in itself. The soundtrack and animation effects make this an amazing movie.
In the uncensored version it was because the dragon breathed fire onto the bridge. That's why his hand was charred for no apparent reason when he pulled it back out
Indeed, it is strange from a natural point of view. But the dragon was a demon actually. This heart symbolically represents Beowulf's vanities and sins. He, in a metaphor, destroyed his corrupted heart. That's a movie of fantasy, so symbols are important to comprehend the picture. Nonetheless, you're correct. Biologically, it'd be impossible for a huge animals had a such small heart.
This traumatized me as a child when I watched it on tv I never ever found the clip again in +10 years or so, but here I am, i literally found something I didn't wanted to find, lol 🤣🤣🤣
Wait a minute! In the movie, I think he actually gets his arm burnt when the Dragon breaths fire. Not from a rock falling on his arm, knocking the sword out of his hand. I think they edited/censored this scene for how graphic it really is in the movie. I'm sure of it.
He misses the heart with the sword the first time, then he severs his arm to extend his reach, but before his dagger cut the heart, the debris knocked it out of his hand. Then, believing this would be his last attempt to slay his son, he jumped out further then before, using all his might
whoa. so, he decided to cut his own hand to get closer to the heart. that's awesome. but when he decided, "eh, fuck it, i'm just gonna rip it out"...... badass levels- OVER 900000!!!
I understand that the way they changed the story made fans of the original lore upset, but it made the movie more memorable. If it was just a story of a hero slaying the dragon, people would forget it after 30 minutes, but the story of a hero who fought over his weakness because of old age to fix his faults when he was young made the movie unforgettable.
I think this movie is poetically beautiful. So rich in details and symbolisms. Beowulf in the end destroyed the monster who lived in himself. A story of a man overcoming his shadow. Very inspiring!
Beowulf is such an epic character in this movie yet so relatable with his human flaws. If he had survived this feat, he would have told everyone it was two dragons and they were probably Hrothgars sons not his 😂
to all the people saying the heart is small: its the heart of a human turned into a dragon, not a dragon heart, whats keeps the dragon alive? magic, plain and simple, its a golden dude (basically a shapeshifter) who turns into a golden giant dragon, and you all wondering why the heart's so small? lol
A Theory from Me, perhaps the writer of the poem ( or movie) might have intended for Beowulf to mirror Grendel, and The Dragon to mirror Beowulf. Both Beowulf and Grendel lose their left arm. The theory means that like Beowulf took the Dragons heart, Grendel's Mother took Beowulfs Heart.... Honestly it's just a perspective...
1:05 where Beowulf wakes up from his years-long trance of playing King to remember he was here for one job and channels his old self one last time. All with no dialogue and the score tells the story.

The battle cry was epic :)
The way he screams after ripping the Dragons heart out lol
That's badass.
Cuts his arm off with no problem but screams when he gets shrapnel stuck in his hand...
I think he screamed in frustration because he lost his dagger.
Amar Rehal In that moment, all hope was lost.
In the uncensored version it was because the dragon breathed fire onto the bridge. That's why his hand was charred for no apparent reason when he pulled it back out
A heart that small to pump blood for such a huge creature...
Indeed, it is strange from a natural point of view. But the dragon was a demon actually. This heart symbolically represents Beowulf's vanities and sins. He, in a metaphor, destroyed his corrupted heart. That's a movie of fantasy, so symbols are important to comprehend the picture. Nonetheless, you're correct. Biologically, it'd be impossible for a huge animals had a such small heart.
0:51 foo cut his tendon off for nothing 😂
My favorite class movie ever. We just finished this today in English. I didnt even want to get up. So exciting and never a dull moment.
Me when I finally completed the whole game 1:32
1:26 The moment Beowulf goes all-out Terminator on that punk.
1:32 when you finally get your amazon package aftera month
1:06 PTM! Cuando empieza el coro del Soundtrack principal uffffffff... Legendario!!!!!
1:32 When you grab the hotpocket out the microwave while it's still hot
He got empowered to finish the task when his theme song started playing? QwQ
"aaraaraaraargggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Best line.
This traumatized me as a child when I watched it on tv
I never ever found the clip again in +10 years or so, but here I am, i literally found something I didn't wanted to find, lol 🤣🤣🤣
@Frogger when the knight cuts off his own arm
The most underrated movie :C, also one of the best :D
самый сильный момент из недооцененного фильма..
What's great about the film is how much it retains the spirit of the original Anglo Saxon poem
The score for this scene is right up there with epic
Wait a minute! In the movie, I think he actually gets his arm burnt when the Dragon breaths fire. Not from a rock falling on his arm, knocking the sword out of his hand. I think they edited/censored this scene for how graphic it really is in the movie. I'm sure of it.
+Ariel Jones actually, it's some burning thing who fall on his hand . Yes, it's was the censored version.
+Spaykers Actually, he burned his hand by the dragon's fire when trying to get to the dragon's heart. Also, DC or not, it's still in there.
+Spaykers And it was before this scene, too.
@@phillipwalling7470 Thanks guys, you're right. I forgot.
@@phillipwalling7470 Yeah I remember it being fire that was surging up causing him to drop his blade.
He misses the heart with the sword the first time, then he severs his arm to extend his reach, but before his dagger cut the heart, the debris knocked it out of his hand. Then, believing this would be his last attempt to slay his son, he jumped out further then before, using all his might
whoa.
so, he decided to cut his own hand to get closer to the heart. that's awesome.
but when he decided, "eh, fuck it, i'm just gonna rip it out"......
badass levels- OVER 900000!!!
I understand that the way they changed the story made fans of the original lore upset, but it made the movie more memorable. If it was just a story of a hero slaying the dragon, people would forget it after 30 minutes, but the story of a hero who fought over his weakness because of old age to fix his faults when he was young made the movie unforgettable.
I think this movie is poetically beautiful. So rich in details and symbolisms. Beowulf in the end destroyed the monster who lived in himself. A story of a man overcoming his shadow. Very inspiring!
"So how much testosterone do we want in this film?"
"All of it."
"What!?"
"All of it!!!!!"
First watching this movie is in a Pirated film in my childhood days, now I can finally watch it in HD 😭
Imagine how powerful Beowulf's dynasty would be if he had helped raise his son.
The real Dragon Prince.
This is pretty much how I’m teaching my son to approach his problems...
Reach in, tear their hearts out, and give a victory scream!
Witcher 3 dlc trailer
The Witcher 3 has better graphics.
El Inextricable exactly this looks so bad
Beowulf is such an epic character in this movie yet so relatable with his human flaws. If he had survived this feat, he would have told everyone it was two dragons and they were probably Hrothgars sons not his 😂
to all the people saying the heart is small: its the heart of a human turned into a dragon, not a dragon heart, whats keeps the dragon alive? magic, plain and simple, its a golden dude (basically a shapeshifter) who turns into a golden giant dragon, and you all wondering why the heart's so small? lol
Believe it or not, this was a good movie!
A Theory from Me, perhaps the writer of the poem ( or movie) might have intended for Beowulf to mirror Grendel, and The Dragon to mirror Beowulf. Both Beowulf and Grendel lose their left arm. The theory means that like Beowulf took the Dragons heart, Grendel's Mother took Beowulfs Heart.... Honestly it's just a perspective...
Grendel's mother did get her revenge by making Beowulf share Grendel's fate.
1:05 where Beowulf wakes up from his years-long trance of playing King to remember he was here for one job and channels his old self one last time.
All with no dialogue and the score tells the story.
I watched this scene with my girlfriend and she immediately grew a pair of balls and a beard. Now we are best buddies.
We all need a bro like Wiglaf
the dragon should of known it was over when the titular characters epic motif started playing in the background. fool.
you gotta love these family moments
