Beowulf

Beowulf is a 1999 action movie loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf. It has strong fantasy elements and some science fiction elements. It was directed by Graham Baker and the screenplay was written by Mark Leahy and David Chappe. The movie comes from the same producer as Mortal Kombat.

While some of the film remains true to the original poem, other plot elements deviate from the original poem (Hrothgar has an affair with Grendel's mother, and they have a child together, Grendel; Hrothgar's wife commits suicide).

Plot

Beowulf is a powerful warrior. He goes to a castle which is haunted by a demon, Grendel, who is slowly killing its entire population. The castle is surrounded by soldiers who will not let anyone in or out, but Beowulf fights his way through. Beowulf then states he intends to kill the demon. Hrothgar, who is king of the castle, welcomes his help.

Hrothgar has a daughter named Kyra. Another important character is Roland who is probably the strongest soldier of the castle. Roland is in love with Kyra, but she does not love him back. It also becomes clear once Hrothgar had a wife who committed suicide after Hrothgar had an affair with another woman. This woman was an ancient being who originally lived on the location where the castle is now. They had a child, Grendel.

Beowulf and Grendel fight and they both wound each other, but both recover.

Later Beowulf and Grendel fight again. Beowulf cuts Grendel's arm off with a retracting cestus. After this the castle celebrates, as they believe Grendel has been slain. Kyra declares her love for Beowulf and he returns her affection. Kyra tells him that she killed her previous husband after he treated her badly. Beowulf tells her that his mother is human and his father is Baal, "God of lies". This explains his tremendous fighting prowess.

While Kyra is with Beowulf all the other people in the castle are killed by Grendel's mother (and possibly Grendel). Beowulf kills Grendel by stabbing him and then kills his mother by stabbing her and cutting a fire vent placed in front of her, causing flames to engulf her and consume the castle. Beowulf escapes the falling castle with Kyra. The castle is destroyed, with Beowulf and Kyra the only survivors.

Beowulf & Grendel

Beowulf & Grendel is a 2005 film loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf. It was filmed in Iceland and directed by Sturla Gunnarsson, it stars Gerard Butler as Beowulf, Stellan Skarsgård as Hrothgar, Ingvar Sigurdsson as Grendel and Sarah Polley as the witch Selma. The film is a cooperative effort between Eurasia Motion Pictures (Canada) Spice Factory (UK), and Bjolfskvida (Iceland). The screenplay was written by Andrew Rai Berzins. The soundtrack was composed by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson. The story takes place sometime during the early half of the sixth century A.D. in what is now Denmark, but the filming of the movie in Iceland provided many panoramic views of that country's unique landscape.

While some of the film remains true to the original poem, other plot elements deviate from the original poem (three new characters, Grendel's father, the witch Selma, and Grendel's son are introduced and several related plot points were developed specifically for the film).

In 2006, a documentary of the making of Beowulf and Grendel called Wrath of Gods was released and went on to win several European film awards.

Plot

Hrothgar, king of Daneland, and a group of mounted and helmeted warriors chase a large and burly man, whom they consider a monstrous troll, and his young, albeit bearded son across a large open field until father and son find themselves on the edge of deep cliff overlooking a beach and a large sea. The father directs his young son, Grendel, to climb down and hide from the attackers' view. The Danes shoot the father dead with their arrows and his dead body plunges down onto the beach far below. The Danish king walks towards the cliff edge and sees the young Grendel hanging but chooses to spare him. Later, Grendel is on the beach below and finds his father's body. After failing to move the large and heavy corpse, the boy takes a sword and cuts the head off to take it home.

Many years later, the severed (and mummified) head is inside a cave where the boy Grendel has grown up to be as large and burly as his father. Grendel bloodies his own forehead with stones to express his vengeful anger towards the Danes and the beginning of his own murderous campaign of revenge.

When Hrothgar finds twenty of his warriors killed inside his great hall, the Danish king falls into a depression. Beowulf, with the permission of Hygelac, king of Geatland, sails to Daneland with thirteen Geats on a mission to slay Grendel for Hrothgar.

The arrival of Beowulf and his warriors is welcomed by Hrothgar, but the king's village has fallen into a deep despair and many of the pagan villagers convert to Christianity at the urging of an Irish monk. While Grendel does go into Hrothgar's village during the night, he flees rather than fight.

Beowulf learns more about Grendel from Selma the witch and seer, who tells Beowulf that Grendel will not fight him because Beowulf has committed no wrong against him. When Beowulf and his men locate Grendel's secret cave, with the aid of a Christianized villager who no longer fears inciting Grendel's anger, they find Grendel absent but one of Beowulf's men nonetheless smashes the mummified head of Grendel's slain father. Later, the villager who had led Beowulf and his party into the cave is found dead.

In revealing more about Grendel's nature, Selma recounts how Grendel had once visited Selma's hut and clumsily raped her and has protected her since that day, troubling Beowulf all the more. Yet, that does not stop him from making his own choice, but Selma quickly takes the lead and they are given a quick, hot romance scene.

Hrothgar admits to Beowulf that he had killed Grendel's father for stealing a fish but had spared the child-troll Grendel out of pity. That night, Grendel attacks Beowulf and his men while they sleep in Hrothgar's great hall, killing the Geat who destroyed his father's severed head and then attempts to escape. But Beowulf, who has set a trap using a pulley and rope, manages to capture the monster, now suspended above the ground by his right arm. Grendel escapes by hacking off the ensnared arm. The troll, bleeding severely, manages to reach the same beach where he had once found his father's slain corpse and wades into the water, where he dies, his body claimed by a mysterious webbed hand.

There is great celebration in the hall of Hrothgar, and the king's mood has been livened up by the defeat of Grendel, whose severed arm is kept by the Danes as a trophy. However, the Danes are later attacked by Grendel's mother, the Sea Hag. Beowulf finds her lair, where she placed Grendel's dead body along with a pile of treasure, and slays Grendel's mother with a sword from this pile. Beowulf realizes the battle has been watched by a strange young boy, obviously Grendel's son from the mating with Selma. The boy raises his own sword but Beowulf chooses to end the conflict and not slay him.

Beowulf, with Grendel's son watching from the shelter of the rocks, buries Grendel and builds him a marker, honouring him. Shortly thereafter, Beowulf and his band of Geats leave Daneland by ship but not before warning Selma that she must continue to hide her son, lest the Danes hunt him down as they did his father.

Reception

The film received generally mixed and average reviews from professional critics; it scored 53% at Metacritic and 48% at Rotten Tomatoes. Most critics praised the film's cinematography, its brutal action sequences, and aspects of its revisionist script, but criticised the dialogue and some of the acting.

William Arnold of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer writes, "The film's near-fatal flaw is its dialogue, which had to be invented wholesale from the Old English text. It alternates between sounding stagy and anachronistically hip -- with more overuse of the F-word than any two Samuel L. Jackson movies. It's a big mistake." Nevertheless, Arnold eventually recommends the film for "keeping its strain of rowdiness and violence in control, and lending the tale the kind of somber respect filmmakers tend to give adaptations of Shakespeare and Dickens."

Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly commends director Gunnarsson for his "[focus] on the more interesting psychology of tribalism." Bill Gallo of Village Voice writes, "It's good, bloody fun that stirs the intellect whenever it feels like it, and as a swashbuckler, the dead-game Butler outswings just about anyone in Troy or Kingdom of Heaven or Tristan & Isolde."

The film has at least one major champion in Danél Griffin of Film as Art (for University of Alaska Southeast), who claims it "exists on the same plain of unadulterated genius as other mad, operatic visions like von Stroheim’s Greed, Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo, Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America." He hails the film for its reinterpretation of the poem as "a study of [the] sharp contrast [between] our ego-inflated perception versus the more humbling reality of our existence. ... Gunnarsson and Berzins’ ultimate conclusion is that we are creatures of the world, not creatures above or below it, and for all of our theology and philosophy and courage and civility, there is Grendel’s severed arm nailed to our castle, and this trophy makes us feel good about ourselves. Its gory depravity representing our feelings of triumph transforms into one of the most revealing metaphors in all of literature."

Other critics are less forgiving. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle says, "Imagine the worst "Deadwood" episode ever, and you'll get an idea of the general tone of Beowulf & Grendel, which is full of anachronistic cursing, tortured syntax, dark humor and lots of hairy, homely, filthy-looking people. The filmmakers get their point across in about 30 minutes, leaving 70 more for severed heads and period charm. There's no charm." Todd McCarthy of Variety (magazine) agrees, writing, "Director Sturla Gunnarsson seems aware of the savagery intrinsic to the story, but is unable to mine it deeply, proving too genteel in the end to make a genuinely creepy or disturbing film." Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail concludes, "The movie is a lumbering and ludicrous mess."

Plot
After he receives a mysterious doll in the mail, Jamie Ashen believes there is something ominous about it. When he leaves his apartment to pick up his dinner, his wife, Lisa, sets up the doll to scare him. However, with everything in the apartment going silent, she is attacked. As Jamie returns to the apartment, he hears Lisa calling out to him, but soon discovers her dead with her tongue ripped out of her mouth. Though Detective Jim Lipton suspects Jamie of the murder, he is allowed to leave with no evidence against him. Jamie returns to his apartment and discovers the doll, named Billy (a reference to the puppet used in the Saw series, who has a cameo later in the film), belonged to Mary Shaw from his home town of Ravens Fair.

Returning to the town for Lisa's funeral, he first confronts his estranged father about Mary Shaw. Although he doesn't get any answers, his father and new wife, Ella, remind him of the children's poem regarding Shaw and her penchant of cutting out her victims' tongues. After Lisa's funeral, Jamie wanders into an old cemetery where he finds Shaw's grave and those of her dolls. He is warned by the mortician's wife of the danger of Shaw, and realizes he should rebury Billy. He does so, only to find the doll back with him the next morning, accompanied by Detective Lipton, still not convinced of Jamie's innocence. Stealing Billy from the detective, he brings the doll to the mortician, Henry, who finally tells him the tale of Mary Shaw.

Shaw was a ventriloquist whose ambition was to make the perfect doll. She was famous in the town and performed shows at the Guignol Theater (a reference to the Grand Guignol, the legendary shock-theater Paris playhouse). One night, however, a young boy named Michael Ashen heckled her, claiming that he could see Mary's lips moving. Mary quickly rebuffed this by having herself and Billy talk at the same time, wowing the entire audience. Micheal went missing shortly thereafter, and though his body was never found, Shaw was blamed, hunted down, and killed by the vengeful Ashen clan, who cut her tongue out in the process. With her last wishes to have her body turned into a ventriloquist puppet in death and to be buried with her 101 dolls, Henry, a young boy at the time, saw her corpse in his father's mortuary, though he had covered his mouth to keep from screaming.

Deciding to investigate the theater, Jamie finds Shaw's dressing room. There he discovers an old book of her's with her plans to make the perfect doll. Unbeknownst to him, though, her ghost stalks him throughout the theater. Confronting his father later, Jamie is told that Michael was his great-uncle. Convinced that Shaw had murdered him, his family were the ones to kill her. Soon after her death, however, Ashen family members would be found dead with their tongues ripped out of their mouths and posed in a macabre family picture. With this pattern continuing with children and grandchildren Jamie was sent from the town to try to stop the curse. When the detective arrives to the house with news that all of Shaw's dolls had been exhumed and were missing, Jamie receives a phone call from Henry, who, unknown to Jamie, had already been killed, calling him back to the theater.

With the detective following close behind, Jamie returns to the theater and Shaw's living quarters. Discovering a cleverly hidden back room that Jamie didn't investigate the first time, they find the body of Michael Ashen, strung like a marionette and 99 of Shaw's dolls placed in cases upon the wall. With most of the noises going quiet, the dolls suddenly begin to look to their left. Finding a clown-like Dummy, Cornelius, rocking in a chair, he begins to speak to them, who reveals the gruesome truth of why Jamie's wife was targeted; she was pregnant with the last member of the Ashen line. They realize that Shaw is possessing the dolls, and begin to destroy them. Setting the room on fire, they run trying to escape. When the catwalk along which they are running collapses, Detective Lipton involuntarily screams and is killed in mid-fall by Shaw. Jamie, however, is sent plunging into the water below the theater and escapes.

Jamie realizes that Billy is the only remaining doll, and that the only way to rid the town of Shaw is to destroy him. He goes to the mortician with whom he had left Billy, only to discover that the mortician was dead, his tongue ripped out. After his wife, Marion, tells Jamie that Jamie's father took the doll (which seems impossible since he is an invalid), he returns to his father's house to destroy Billy. As he arrives, Mary Shaw reappears, but is forced to retreat when Jamie throws Billy into the fireplace. As she is forced back into the shadows, Jamie finds his wheelchair-bound father sitting, staring blankly into space. As he approaches him, Jamie is horrified to find that his father is dead, his entire back removed, hollowed out and replaced with a wooden shaft used in ventriloquist dummies. As Jamie realizes that his young stepmother was always at his father's side, she suddenly appears next to him. He realizes that Ella is the perfect doll that Shaw strove to make, and had been using the elder Ashen's corpse as a puppet to lure Jamie. Ella heckles Jamie and lightning flashes in the sky briefly showing the ghostly Mary Shaw behind her disguise, finally killing Jamie as he screams. Mary Shaw shows her puppet book with pictures of Jamie, Detective Lipton, his father, Lisa, Michael and Henry as dolls. Jamie recites the poem in his head and when he is done, Mary Shaw closes the book to end the movie.
