Great film. More of a love story than an epic, but still has some good battle scenes. A real clash of cultures and morality with the Christian knights, Pagan villagers and Friesian raiders...
Love this film cause the director Franklin J Schaffner was a real genious in combining visuals with a story. Just go watch this film cause it really has action but also compelling mood and a story.. The director then made Planet of the Apes(1968) a few years later with Charlton Heston. That film is a masterpiece and is the best scifi movie of all time for me. Many movies tries to talk about social injustice. Planet of the Apes talks about everything wrong about human kind and manages to be an entertaining action driven film.
Yes, the combat scenes were unsurpassed in 1960s cinema (and even for decades to come). Richard Boone and Guy Stockwell played their roles superbly-as did the rest of the cast. Willowy Rosemary Forsyth was perfect for her role'; no suspension of disbelief was required to imagine that the war lord would become obsessed with her!.
@@Iersoherrs I got Stockwell first name misspell his first name was Guy who played Heston younger brother. James Farantino played angry 😠 peasant who Heston stole his woman 👩 and was horribly killed by Boone after he gravely wounded Heston.
There used to be several RU-vid uploads of this fine movie, a couple of which were dubbed foreign language versions. However, all of them have been enjoved, at least for now, due to "copyright infringement" complaints. I find this situation a bit surprising since I had not thought that copyright law still applied in 2022 to a 1965 film. However, it should be possible to get a DVD. I was able to purchase one which I have enjoyed many times. Every time I see it, I discover new details in the dialogue and camera work which always impress me.
Stupenda pellicola, certo non è chissà che cosa ma è comunque una piacevole pellicola storica con combattimenti realistici e ben realizzati, c'è un anacronismo cioè sebbene l'azione si svolga presumibilmente all'apice del potere normanno nell'XI secolo, nell'area in cui è ambientato la pellicola, in effetti in tutta l'Europa occidentale, il paganesimo era stato ampiamente sradicato entro la fine dell'VIII secolo. È concepibile che minuscole cellule segrete di druidi possano essere esistite nascoste fino all'XI secolo, ma certamente non un intero villaggio che praticava apertamente il druidismo. Lo stesso druidismo fu spazzato via dalla Roma imperiale precristiana, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
Your commentary about the decline of paganism was very informative. I agree that the combat scenes were extremely well done. I was especially impressed by the acting by all members of the cast. Also, the costumes and camera work greatly enhanced the appeal of this film. ≥≤ Il tuo commento sul declino del paganesimo è stato molto istruttivo. Concordo sul fatto che le scene di combattimento fossero estremamente ben fatte. Sono rimasto particolarmente colpito dalla recitazione di tutti i membri del cast. Inoltre, i costumi e il lavoro della macchina da presa hanno accresciuto notevolmente il fascino di questo film. ≥≤ Ihr Kommentar zum Niedergang des Heidentums war sehr lehrreich. Ich stimme zu, dass die Kampfszenen äußerst gut gemacht waren. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich das Schauspiel aller Darsteller. Auch die Kostüme und die Kameraführung trugen wesentlich zum Reiz dieses Films bei.
Esta película realmente refleja con precisión la moral, las supersticiones primitivas y la estratificación social de la sociedad medieval - además de ser una excelente película de acción y una historia de amor completamente creíble. [This movie really does acturately reflect the morals, primitive superstitions and social stratification of medieval society - in addition to being a terrific action movie and an entirely believable love story.]
Oh yeah, The Last Duel, despite its certain visual excellency, has a very confusing me-too-aftertaste... I was very disappointed when I watched it, as well as when I watched The Green Knight with its perverted sexual additions to the original plot. You are absolutely right.
@@sycorax_max Presentism is very tiresome. The past was DIFFERENT from the present, and trying to make it conform to contemporary mores is the real perversity.
