So I thought The Northman was incredible. It very much reminded me of Conan the Barbarian in a great way. Robert Eggers so far hasn't missed. I loved The Witch and The Lighthouse. Can't wait to see what he does next. Hopefully it's something involving a certain vampire. 🤞
Lady Catelyn’s fingers dug deep into her throat, and the words came rattling out, choked and broken. The northman said,“She says that you must choose. Take the sword and slay the Kingslayer, or be hanged for a betrayer. The sword or the noose, she says. Choose, she says. Choose.”
What this means, in terms of understanding The Northman, but also the authentic Norse sources, is that raiding, pillaging, feuding, belittling and even slaving were, within that culture, fine. What mattered was bravery, determination, and to face death with insolence and humour.
Work is gonna be over soon, and then I get to start my weekend with a @JnthnHdrck interview followed by watching #TheNorthman

Watching The Northman later, which means that I probably won't get a lot done today work-wise.
In lieu of that, here's some of my Viking/Norse-inspired art across the years (This set is from the early years of 2017 - 2018)
The Northman (2022)
كثرة الرمزيات كانت عبارة مشتت أكثر منها أنها تضيف معنى، ودمرت قصة الانتقام.
