Distant memory

I watched a movie very early, and the fighting scenes were also bloody. But what impressed me the most was the prayers chanted by the samurai at the final battle of the film. I originally remembered the Chinese version. I found the English version on the Internet, which is even more touching:
look there do I see my father,
look there do I see my mother and my sisters,
and my brothers
look there do I see the line of my people,
back to the beginning.
look they do call to me
They bid me take myplace among them
In the halls of valhalla
where the brave may live forever

    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.
