Taylor-Joy said in “The Northman”
Hamlet should be the most frequently used resource when narrating family revenge and The lion king this is perhaps his most extreme cinematographic example to date.
Robert Eggers, the filmmaker who became famous The witch Y The lighthousedecided to turn around to reverse a rehashed story by telling the Nordic legend of Amleth, the same one used by William Shakespeare as the plot of the tragedy of his most famous prince.
Amletth (Alexander Skarsgård) is determined to avenge the death of his father (Ethan Hawke) at the hands of his uncle (Claes Bang), who thus usurps the throne and the young man’s mother (Nicole Kidman).
A scene from the movie “The Northman”.
“I will take revenge on you, dad. I will save you, mother. I’m going to kill you, uncle ”, the prince repeated like a mantra once the fratricide that serves as the hero’s exclusive drive is repeated until he meets a slave named Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy), who offer. him a non-violent way out that the lover Amleth just lets it look like a prisoner of his gruesome destiny.
He’s the only one who removes him, at least for a scene that gives him a break, from a violent bloody universe.
Warlocks, Valkyries and Ravens
Robert Eggers retains the fascination for scary legends and their attention and tension from every ritual of life in his third film, but this time he denies the fact that his magical animals and supernatural creatures , such as the demon goat and the young witch of The witch or the cursed seagull and the merman of The lighthousewatch and surprise the viewer.
This story full of wizards, valkyry and a prophetic flock of crows has written its end from the moment the viewer sits in the chair and is carried away by the spiral of violence.
