Was she laughing or screaming?

Be honest lads
Would you have fucked your own mother?

cackling really, like a psycho

She was laughing but little kid Amluth perceived her to be screaming.

screaming
she was just gaslighting jimmy

It sounds more like screaming than laughning but you have to remember it's supposed to represent how Amleth remembers it, not necesarily the whole truth

It's ambiguous.
Amlet seems to be under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms at many points in the film (to justify the supernatural stuff he seems to encounter), and he was fresh out of his hallucinatory experience with his father + Willem Dafoe.
The scene that we see certainly shows her screaming, but Amleth would have been expecting to see her screaming, given the circumstances.
She claims that she encouraged Amlet's uncle to kill his father because rape etc, but this could all have been a cope she told herself to try and come to terms with her circumstances.
When she thanked Amleth near the end of the flick, she could be thanking him for giving her an honourable death in battle, or she could be thanking him for ending her misery as the whore of her husband's murderer.
Amleth is a mushroom junkie, and because we see the whole film from his perspective, we don't know how reliable it is.

They weren't relevant to the story. What kind of dumb question is that

Why would she want to gaslight him? To justify her guilt for taking up a new life and pretending her old one didn't matter, just to cope?

>Why would she want to gaslight him?
uhh shes a woman?

In the scene where she's carried off it's definitely screaming. Later on, when she says she was laughing, you definitely think to yourself "Yeah, no, that was screaming".

>About to ingest halucinogens and trip balls
>This is your trip-sitter
what do?

*Farts*

why would they show members of a decaying gayreek rump state

in the scene he's in the shack with the crows and he gets unntied, is that supposed to be Freya carrying him away on the horse? And where did they end up? all of a sudden he was with that slav chick in a hot spring seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

>To justify her guilt for taking up a new life and pretending her old one didn't matter, just to cope?
Yes, exactly this. Throughout history women have been forced to become the whores and breeding sows of the strongest men in the region. That's a pretty compelling reason to adopt the emotional "flexibility" to convince yourself that your captors are your saviours.

>that slav chick
? she's latinx actually

It was supposed to be a valkyrie

Olga(anya) rescued him. He hallucinated her as a vaklyrie (not Freya).
He's a mushroom junkie. He's constantly tripping balls.

is the is there a proper version out now? i wanna watch this

saw a lot of roasties at the theatre staring at their phone, they looked disinterested. Probably because the movie also served as a massive redpill on female sexuality.

>plans death of husband
>happily raises new family for 20 years
>first son comes back to get revenge
>get wet over the prospect of him murdering your entire family and taking you for his queen
Most accurate portrayal of a woman in a while

It was a Valkyrie taking him to Valhǫll in his mind, while really it was just Olga saving him

I've never seen people sitting on their phones during a movie. Over here, you'd be politely asked to stop, and then kicked out of the theatre for that if you persisted.

go pay the couple bucks to see it in theaters so maybe Eggers can keep making kino like this

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

>>get wet over the prospect of him murdering your entire family and taking you for his queen
>Most accurate portrayal of a woman in a while
Brainlet. She was just trying to lull him into a moment of weakness so she could kill him. Did you miss her trying to stab him IMMEDIATELY after pretending to be hot for him?

I wouldn't fuck my own no mother, no. however if my mother was a batshit crazy nicole kidman then I may very well be tempted

>arf arf arf arf arf! *shits self*
I'm ready

i would, unfortunately i am from no english land but like watch movie in english

He's not tripping in that scene just drifting in and out of consciousness dreaming his saviour as a valkyrie rather than Olga
Thats one thing i really loved about the movie, it never went all out supernatural but it obfuscated the lines between magic and reality putting you into the perspective of the characters which really believed in Valhalla and all that shit

Get ready to have lifelong schizophrenia and psychotic delusions

It’s much simpler
She screamed to make people think she didn’t want to be taken but in reality she did
She was just pretending like when women pretend to fight back against their rapists but deep down they’re loving it

Nicole Kidman looks like that?

>He's not tripping in that scene
IMO he's tripping for huge stretches of the movie, we just don't see him ingesting every time. But he takes the psychedelic drink with his dad + Willem Dafoe, and he just so happens to have magic mushrooms to give to Olga in Iceland.
My take was that the mushrooms are the "explanation" (as if one was needed) for all the ethereal supernatural stuff, like the witch that tells Amleth to fulfill his fate. It lets the movie indulge in the fantastical elements of norse folklore whilst remaining fairly grounded and realistic at the same time, as most of it can be handwaved as "he was just tripping bro".

you talk about the king's wife, that he got by kidnapping her and, i forget: murder her family?
interesting thought, how such a family dynamic may be fucked up for the kids... but on the other hand they have their own culture, create meaning their own way etc . idk, i guess backstabbing comes with the territory for them

It's quite clear she never loved Amleth's father like fjölnir, she stuck by him even when he lost his kingdom

does anyone have the berserker ritual scene before the battle? or the entire movie in general. i loved it

That was the peak of the movie

She did it to get that classic Germanic blockhead.

Guy in the row in front of me was demolishing a family size bag of ketchup chips the entire movie, so I couldn't exactly catch all the quiet parts. Did she say "thank you" after she finally got killed?

she did, "Right in the heart, thank you" or something like that

Interesting. Gotta watch again to see if she was just egging him on the whole movie so she could finally die, or if she was just letting out one last cunty remark on her deathbed.

Screeching

It was cool to mention that some of the slavs were going to Constantinople. Going from a little village to such a city would be crazy

she a chad

>Ketchup chips
Do leafs really?

>only in theaters
DROPPED

What about odins ravens pecking his ropes? And the sword not unsheathing in the day light (even for other people). There definitely seems to be some super natural shit. I guess all that could have been Olga?

Im just glad they actually showed vikings raiding somewhere other than England

on second viewing you notice they played it so that it largely looks like screaming but could be taken as laughing
it's very well done

I fucking hate people who eat crunchy food in cinemas, it's not the fucking place for it

>What about odins ravens pecking his ropes? And the sword not unsheathing in the day light (even for other people).
The ravens pecking his ropes could have been his hallucination of Olga cutting at the ropes from the window in the roof.
Similarily, Amlet's own beliefs about the sword could have been strong enough for him to be unable to unsheath it in daylight, and he could have just completely imagined Fjolnir's soldier being unable to unsheath it.
I realise "it was all in his mind" is an unsatisfactory answer, but I don't see why else the movie had to feature psychedelic/hallucinogenic substances so much otherwise.

Your interpretation is silly 2bh and it kind of sounds like you've never used mushrooms and are one of those dorks who pins everything on drugs

A more simple explanation is that the norse gods are real and helped Amleth a little a long the way so he could fulfill his destiny

This is correct. Especially if you understand Eggers' obvious love for folklore and mythology. The supernatural is always real in his movies.

Yeah, she did. I assumed that was because he killed her in battle and so she could rejoin her husband in Valhalla.

>bro it's just shrooms
You fucking idiots, the movie is a Norse saga where gods and magic is real. Or are you faggots gonna try and tell me VVitch was just wild imagination from the family too?

Why is it so fucking hard for you dumb fucks to view something through the eyes of the characters? Fucking reddit science shit.

has Nicole has work done? she looks bogged

Constantinople will be Greek again.
