The scenery is beautiful, comparable to travel.

A Babylonian poet who has experienced an astronomical adventure and grows into a warrior.

I think this sentence can briefly summarize the film. At least the theme of the film is like this. But there are many details. We can discover, extend and expand.

Let's talk about the theme of the film first. Director John McTiernan Michael Crichton was inspired by the influence of the Arabian Nights. He hopes to tell a new story about the Nordic people. During the adventure, the protagonist will always use his Arabic wisdom: listening to one night and mastering the Nordic language; analyzing the psychology of the man-eater to help the warriors find their cave; recalling the warrior C (that is, the stork bone) The big man standing guard on the tree) The description of Leipilangjiao led the warriors to break through and escape from the underground dark spring, etc.

Because this topic is too prominent, many people ignore some in-depth analysis of the spiritual level. So this film is here. Many people see nothing more than an adventure action movie.

However, many things are not as simple as we thought. I will give some details: Cannibals attacked the village in a foggy day, and the Nordic moved women and children into the basement and prepared knives in the battle. Later, these women and children were

killed one by one. Why did they attack on a foggy day? The film did not give an answer, we can only analyze and find the answer on our own. Cannibals fight in bear skins, and it can be concluded that they are not based on human flesh. It should be a hunting tribe, hunting for a living (there are so many bears providing them with bearskin coats for free, PF!), and hunting tribes generally find it difficult to carry out regular hunting in foggy weather, and relatively, a large number of trees are cut down. The Nordic villages used for production are particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of the hillside grass.In the eyes of the cannibals, a large prey is placed in front of them, and of course they will not let it go.

    Full of Nordic charm, Arab culture in the film seems to be the protagonist but a supporting role.

    The details about the history are very exquisite, suitable for lovers of Nordic legends. But the story is too frustrating. The 13 warriors have no obvious characteristics. Banderas should be the most useless male protagonist... The scenes are all real shots, so hard work, the film company must be at a loss.
