The Beowulf Blog

Monday, April 28, 2003

I took a few hours to work on my "Woven" section on my website. This is the page I am most intrigued by - the myths they had known in those days and the things that brought about their values in society. Germanic heroes have such fascinating adventures and to contrast and compare them with Beowulf's story was ingenious.

I just watched the 13th Warrior - I rented it from the Blockbuster down the street. I had seen it originally when it first came out and remember it being interesting. Now that I heard from Aspen that it is loosely based on beowulf, I had to rent it and try it again. It was fascinating looking for all the bits that go with the Beowulf poem. It also took me a long time in figuring out the character Antonio Banderas is supposed to be the original writer of the poem(Beowulf).

If you have read the poem and would like to see a different version of what may have happened (altho my background in history isn't extensive and it may be too inconsistant in details to be true) rent it and watch it. You might get a kick out of the visual aspect of it like I did.

I also rented the "Beowulf" with Christopher Lambert to see what that one might be like. I'll blog that movie when I get around to watching it.
