RAGNAROK | Viking Short Film from Norway

[@waynedosser6557]

This was way better than 95% of the viking movies made.

[@smackomatic]

Thank you! We did our best, and there may be more to come in this saga

[@jeannerogers7085]

Yeah, grim, gory and nearly incomprehensible.

[@christinearmington]

Shorter anyway. About as comprehensible.

[@sondrejacobsen]

​​@@andrasmolnar6397 it is part of the Norse saga, it helps to know it before watching the film or it may not make so much sense

[@vitabowman3740]

Thank you so much... the aim of classic mythic stories is : without love we die and perish as it is so easy to hate. Love to all .

[@smackomatic]

Good words!

[@mandalorian1994]

18:00 that battle cry from all the men, now that's what you call fearless. They knew they would all die, but they weren't going down without a fight. Those are true warriors

[@smackomatic]

Exactly!

Love Viking lore and mythical stuff like this. Perfect short film!

YES THEY ARE DEAD FALSE GODS. JUST ROMANTIC THOUGHTS OF OUR PAST. BUT CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD . WE FELL AWAY FROM TRUE GOD CAUSE WE WANTED TO DO OUR OWN THING AND THAT IS WHAT BRANG DEATH TO US ALL . BUT FAITH IN CHRIST AND WHAT HE DID ... BY TAKING OUR SINS FOR US AND HAVING FAITH IN HIM KNOWING HIM AND LIVING FOR HIM IS THE WAY BACK TO LIFE. THESE ARE JUST A BUNCH OF LOST BARBARIANS.

The fight scenes looked authentic and suitably bloody. Great action. My only criticism is that the fighting took place in darkness (it’s Ragnarok, I know …) and I could barely see what was going on at times.

[@sondrejacobsen]

I was creeped out when what I thought were siblings started kissing, but guess they werent siblings. Had not read the description. Excellent work.

[@smackomatic]

That is actually one of the only changes we made in the script after we started filmin. We didn't have a good way to show that they were not siblings, untill we shot this scene without the kiss. Suddenly we found that it would fit perfectly with a kiss and that would confirm for the viewr that they were not siblings.

[@soelvfaks1]
