He speaks about that in an earlier Colbert interview. How, because he's Swedish, he can't be self-congratulatory. It's a really endearing interview!

His brother Gustaf is also a tremendous Viking.

Gustav's Floki is one of my favorite characters in all of ever. Floki always spoke like Alexander-Lost-His-Voice punctuated by giggles but nobody laughed at him - it could be deeply unsettling and downright terrifying yet so endearing at the same time. The famous boatmaker who couldn't swim 🤣🤣

Alexander Skarsgard did an incredible job in this masterpiece of a film. He carries himself differently depending on what the character is supposed to be. This movie felt like a religious experience and made me super happy to not be alive in the early 900s AD

[@mikeposner8563]

This movie was a religious experience for me too, well said. Easily the most the most impactful cinema experience I've ever had. It's truly a masterpiece. The sound design is mind blowingly immersive, and the cinematography is as good as any cinematography in any movie ever. It's seriously that well made. Plus spine chillingly good acting and an epic story. No element of this movie is anything less than superb. The only thing is that the sheer brutality, unfiltered-ness, and animalistic elements will naturally turn certain types of people off. And understandably so. But all it's doing is depicting how things really were at that time which is just unimaginelly brutal and violent.

Read today that the story of Amleth (a real historic person) in the Northmen and his avenging of his father was a historic Norse story that Shakespeare used as the basis for his tragic play Hamlet.

[@scottstewart6624]

That is bold, which I would have never thought of, but you might have an excellent idea.

[@Kasino80]

And his father is already in the MCU so it's not totally impossible.

[@FabledGentleman]

I loved "The Northman", it's such an authentic, vile, brutal and immersive revenge tale. The imagery is beautiful with gorgeous landscapes and jaw dropping massive movie sets. It's not a movie for everyone though, it's not straight forward, it's a movie with deep symbolic undertones that carries the story forward, and if you miss out on those, you can be in for a hard bargain. But if you love Eggers previous work, well this movie is a must. One thing I was disappointed by though, in the very beginning of the movie they start with the text "North Atlantic" when they are in Norway, i have no clue why, because Russia and Iceland and so on are correctly mentioned, but Norway becomes "North Atlantic". That was a bummer. But, well.. Movie is awesome, and Skarsgård is a BEAST, this actually might be the origin story of Technoviking 😆

If you like it, you may also like "Valhalla Rising" with Mads Mikkelsen (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla_Rising_(film))
