Beowulf Movie Critic

Beowulf Movie Critic Do you envision a strong female role or a male role as your submarine sandwich? In my opinion the Beowulf exposure was a thumbs up, due to Angelina Jolies use of seduction and female wiles. Angelina is a critical timbre who drives the plot. In the movie, her character of Grendels beat overshadows Beowulfs character as a hero. This is in drastic contrast to the original poem Beowulf because in the original, wo hands were not valued and they had no classic role. Grendels mother differs from the original, in three aspects character, plot and theme.The difference between the characters from the original Beowulf poem to the movie is vast. Grendels mother in the movie was beautiful, for poser Beowulf Movie Review says, The link between the early battles of a young hero and his fatal confrontation with the dragon as an aging king is his come-on by the monsters mother who dangles wealth, power and sexual favors before his bedazzled eyes, the writer reminds us of t he beauty she portrays. In the poem readers are led to accept she looks monstrous it is said that the warriors from Herot thought she looked like Grendel and also Beowulf is not one bit attracted to her.In the poem Grendels mother is a violent being who creates conflicts to visit her male child she eats people and kills many of Hrothgars men. In the movie Angelina Jolie lures Beowulf with her sexuality and beauty her strategy is seduction, as for in the poem Grendels mother is a monster who attacks Beowulf and drags him into the cave where they engage in combat her strategy is direct attack. In my opinion the movie Beowulf was successful, whereas the poem was not. The role played as Grendels mother was more thought out.Her strategy was a wise one because not only did she live, but she is free to lure more men into her cave, where she will pursue to seduce and sin. Grendels mother changes the plot from beginning to end. If she had never seduced the king in the movie, then there wo uld have never been the character Grendel. Without Grendel, Beowulf would have no reason to travel to Denmark on behalf of King Hrothgars request. King Hrothgar was sick and ti violent of Grendel savaging at night he surmised Beowulf would save his kingdom.Grendels mother creates all conflict, for example she allures Beowulf knowing that lust was his weakness where in the original Beowulf she is an ugly lake monster with dragon claws, a long snout, yellow feathers, red eyes, a pale face and since Beowulf is not attracted, he defeats her. In the movie Grendels mother gives birth to a dragon, but this monster is also son of Beowulf. The plot was changed once again because in the poem the dragon was not Beowulfs son and if it werent for Grendels mothers promise to Beowulf, he would have not become king of Herot and would have not fallen in love with the queen.He chose to kill his evil son to save his love, the queen and his mistress. In the movie every victory was glorious. Each battle won is sung and celebrated. People remember you from your battles. In Beowulf the poem, the theme is complete opposite. Christian element is employ battle is bad, and one was not known for battles, but how honest and faithful you were throughout your life. Beowulfs morals were very different in the movie, because he was not using the Christian element, but was deceitful and unfaithful for example, he lies about his battles and betrays the kingdom by fornicating with Grendels mother.Whereas in the poem he never did much(prenominal) thing. Contrary to the original Beowulf, the new film wants us to understand and humanize our monster. The changes of theme from story to movie give Beowulf a more modern feel. The movie was a real life depiction of the poem, which was a fantasy. In real life there is reality like sin. The movie is like a simile to the poem we picture Grendels mother as an ugly creature, but she was not ugly she was a monster within but not on the outside. ?
