Reaction on Beowulf
I think, this film is not the poem. My visualization of Grendel’s mother
is not a gold painted nude Barbie doll in stiletto heels. In my highschool
notes, Beowulf killed the witch and he did not have some malicious acts with
her. This film has impressive special effects and would be okay as an
adventure fantasy but it should not be marketed as the epic poem. There are
so many changes. Grendel was not Hrothgar's son. The dragon was not
Beowulf's son and had no connection with the witch. Beowulf was not made
Hrothgar's heir, nor did he marry his widow and become king of the Danes. In
the poem, Beowulf returned to Geatland after slaying Grendel. He remained
the Geat king's best warrior, supporting him and the son who succeeded him.
Only after the new king died did Beowulf become king of the Geats until his
own death in later years. Also, why all the nudity in this film?
This 2007 film missed the opportunity to bring the epic poem to life.
