Nordic mythology is an important part of European culture as a culture that was not poisoned by Christianity. Influence. Wagner's opera "The Ring" is a 14-hour masterpiece, and this TV movie managed to tell the story in two hours, which is very easy for the audience who want to know the story of the Ring.



Although it is a TV movie, because the story itself is very beautiful, and the filming is very careful, the script selection and various technical aspects are of a certain level, so it is very comfortable to watch, but the two-hour space is limited, so I cut it off. There are many mythological and historical backgrounds, and only the main line of love is retained. Therefore, compared to Wagner's rich opera, this drama is more like a Qiong Yao soap opera, and its depth, breadth and shock are not enough. But this is also a common problem with TV movies. It's pretty nice if you don't ask too much.
