Amleth's arc also involves his attempt to uncover the fates of his mother Gudrun (Nicole Kidman) and his Honorary Uncle Heimir (Willem Dafoe), as well as forming a bond with the Slavic slave Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy).The film was released in theaters in the United States on April 22, 2022 by Focus Features.Previews: Official Trailer.

The Northman / int_15d8e4f5	comment	Slave Liberation: When Amleth decides to return to kill FjÃ¶lnir to protect Olga and their children, he sets the slaves free, which may possibly mean Amleth has grown at least a little more empathic over the course of the film.

The Northman / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: In the final film, a large section of the cast are not named onscreen. The closing credits provide not only names, but also nicknames for all of the berserkers, FjÃ¶lnir's men, and the slaves. Robert Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy both consistently refer to Olga as a "white witch" in interviews; Olga's "earth magic" is knowledge of herbs and poisons, specifically hallucinogenic mushrooms (probably fly agaric). Since herbalism and witchcraft are very traditionally associated with female power and social status in Europe, and the movie specifically points out that "women's magic" is mysterious and unknowable (unless you're Odin sacrificing your eye for it), it's not too far fetched that she would be seen as a witch with powerful magic.

The Northman / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
The Northman / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The film had a very deceptive marketing campaign: The trailers largely focus on scenes from the prologue and from the raid Amleth participates in immediately after the prologue; in fact, only a few scenes featured come from past the twenty-minute mark in the film. As a result, the movie ends up looking more like an action-driven Viking epic rather than a movie about Amleth willingly becoming a slave in FjÃ¶lnir's domain to ruin his life through covert acts of terrorism. As a result of emphasizing the raid, the trailers heavily feature Viking characters. The Vikings only appear in the scenes immediately proceeding and following the raid on the Slavic village, encompassing all of fifteen minutes of screentime at most near the beginning of the film. The trailer heavily emphasizes Olga's role, and pointedly features her line about having the power to "break men's minds" intercut with two scenes of her apparently performing mystical rituals, implying that she'll use magical powers to aid Amleth. Aside from possibly casting a spell in one scene, which itself seems to have no effect on the material world, Olga never does anything magical. In fact, she has very little impact on Amleth's revenge at all. The two scenes from the trailer are a dream sequence and Olga simply freaking out, respectively. Her primary role in the story is to become the mother of the dynasty Amleth has sired, and to provide motivation for Amleth to go back and kill FjÃ¶lnir after initially giving up his revenge quest.

The Northman / int_19fc58a2	type	A Lighter Shade of Black
The Northman / int_19fc58a2	comment	Most of the characters are morally bankrupt, with the hero Amleth only being A Lighter Shade of Black and Olga being almost white. Amleth is morally superior to his enemies only in that his personal moral compass stops him from acts like harming women and children. However, even though he does not seem to care for his fellow Vikings (denying that they are his "brothers"), he does nothing to prevent their more heinous actions and has no remorse for killing men only defending themselves from a raid or selling innocent people into slavery. Amleth does not want to kill Gunnar, whom he considers an innocent product of rape (or so he assumes until Gudrun states otherwise), which gives him a certain moral high ground versus his mother. But in the end he is forced to kill both in self-defense. He also decides to continue his revenge quest even after Gudrun reveals what a horrible person his father really was, deciding that "honor" is more important.

FjÃ¶lnir is shown as a proud and doting father to both Thorir and Gunnar, and twice he gives up opportunities to just kill Amleth precisely to properly mourn each of them, alongside his wife. Amleth seems finally ready to let go of his revenge, up until the moment he realizes that Olga is carrying his children, whom he fears FjÃ¶lnir will hunt down.

The Northman / int_25c7875f	type	Practically Different Generations
The Northman / int_25c7875f	comment	Practically Different Generations: Amleth and Gunnar are maternal half-brothers and have decades between them. Gunnar's older paternal half-brother Thorir is younger than Amleth, but still decades older than Gunnar too. Gunnar looks to be around 10 years old; at the start of the film Amleth is 10 while Thorir is a baby before the story skips ahead about two decades, which would make Amleth around 30 years older and Thorir about 20 years older than their little brother.note in real life, Amleth's actor Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd was in his mid-40s, though he could pass for younger and it's implied Amleth is supposed to be in his thirties Amleth especially could easily be Gunnar's father rather than his brother. Gunnar doesn't even know Amleth is his brother, as he was assumed to have died as a child long before Gunnar was born. Despite them being practically strangers and Amleth despising Gunnar's father, Amleth still protects Gunnar from harm and doesn't target him in his revenge plot at least until he's forced to kill him in self-defense.

Unlike other portrayals of court jesters, however, Heimir also serves a religious function and acts as a goÃ°i (similar to a priest or mage) for Aurvandill's family (as the movie is set prior to the Christianization of Scandinavia, it makes sense that a holy man and a funny man could be the same guy, whereas in Christian Europe combining the two functions would be seen as sacrilegious).

The Northman / int_294ed981	type	Bilingual Bonus
The Northman / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: During the assault on a Slavic settlement, a warning cry is heard. Speakers of a Slavic language might understand it as "bears of war!" that the Slavs are facing berserkers. There's a lot of this with respect to the chapter names assuming you can read the alphabet of a long-dead medieval language. The opening chapter is called "Land of the Rus" in English, but the runes actually spell out Gardariki (Karthariki, if read phonetically), which translates to "Kingdom of the Enclosures," the Old Norse term for Kievan Rus. The second chapter is spelled "Ã�slant," or Ã�sland, which is more or less the Old Norse rendering of Iceland. Third, of course, is "the Night Blade Feeds." The runes here are slightly all over the place, being a mix of Elder Futhark, which is well before the Viking Age, and Younger Futhark, which is what is actually used by Vikings. But with that said, the actual runes spell out something akin to Draugsthatt, which would translate to "Draugr's Story," Draugr being the name of the sword itself (though as stated above given the fact the blade has Elder Futhark and is a ring-pommel sword from the Migration Period, it ought to be Draugaz) And the final chapter of the film is called "Helgrind" in the runes, which means "Hel Gate," or more poetically, "Gate of Death."

The Northman / int_33d5b7f2	type	Adapted Out
The Northman / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: As the movie is not a direct retelling of the Amleth legend, the key element of Amleth faking insanity to deter suspicion about his plotting - which survived all the way to Shakespeare - is not present, since Amleth flees the scene as a boy. Elements in the legend that were later echoed by Shakespeare's Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are also absent. Though on the other hand, this is largely explained by the fact that Hrorek Slyngebond, Gerutha's father, and the Danish King for whom Aurvandill and later Fenge rule Jylland in trust, is also adapted out, and Saxo's version is quite clear that the only reason Fenge didn't kill Amleth is that his maternal grandfather would basically come down on him like the hammer of Thor if anything happened to him. Also adapted out is Aurvandill's rivalry with the Norwegian king Kollr, whom he slays in battle at the outset of the story.

The Northman / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
The Northman / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: Eggers pointed out that most historians do not think that pagan Scandinavians used any particular clothing in ritual, but that they also agree that their rituals involved lots of blood being splattered. This led Eggers to ask the historical consultant if they walked around covered in blood all the time, something the historian admitted never having thought about. Since the blood would have been impossible to clean off it was decided that during ceremonies the participants would wear white (period accurate) cloaks to protect their regular clothes. In the film you can see that the ceremonial cloaks have dried blood stains on them. Towards the end of the film Amleth tells his mother Gudrun that they shall all be reunited in 'the Stronghold of the All-Father', essentially meaning Valholl. Valholl is specifically attested in medieval sources as being solely for men slain by weapons, as in fully matured men fit to bear weapons and participate in battles. The exact phrase that's used in texts from the period being 'ver' and 'verar' (plural) which is exactly cognate to the Old English word Were, as in 'Weregeld'. At the start of the film, Fjolnir is depicted as wearing a set of lamellar armor. There is archaeological evidence of a handful of lamellar plates found in Scandinavia, but there is no strong evidence to suggest that the Norse wore it as armor. Finnr the Nose-Stub is shown wearing a leather helmet on multiple occasions. It's not inconceivable that helmets made of leather existed and simply failed to survive archaeologically, but there's no clear textual or artistic evidence that the Norse ever used them. The precise rules of knattleikr have been lost, so the film necessarily depicts its own version. It was known as a very physical game, but it's unlikely that it boiled down to players clubbing each other with bats until no one remained standing. It is also unlikely it would have been played by slaves to entertain their masters. The players would more likely have been the cheifs and their posse. The inscription of the sword Draugr is inscribed with Elder Futhark runes, which is at least 3 or 4 centuries removed from Amleth's era, and is made all the more strange that the sword is named Draugr instead of the older form Draugaz, which would have been appropriate for Elder Futhark. It also poses the question of why a 4th-6th century burial mound is in Iceland of all places, as the island was only settled in the second half of the 9th century. The He-Witch seems to have a Vegvisir inscribed on his headpiece, which is an Icelandic magical stave symbol... from the 17th century. Said headpiece is based not on any historical find, but rather the hat worn by a guide at the Museum of Sorcery & Witchcraft in Iceland. The berserkers go into battle bare chested, with some in just their loincloth. There is a debate over if berserker means "bare shirt" or "bear shirt" (most historians thinks it's the later), but the movie goes with both, despite one explanation cancelling the other. There is nothing to suggest that the Slavs were viewed as savages by Scandinavians.

The berserkers' attack on the walled town in the land of the Rus is shown after the fact to be motivated mostly by slaving, as almost all the survivors are sent to be sold in the slave markets of Uppsala, Kiev and Constantinople, or sent by special order to FjÃ¶lnir's homestead in Iceland. Gudrun eventually reveals to Amleth that she wasn't a Breton princess who was betrothed to Aurvandill, as she'd told her son; but instead she was one of the slaves he captured, raped and eventually married because she got pregnant and gave birth to a boy.

The Northman / int_8767b1f3	comment	Black-and-Gray Morality: Most of the characters are morally bankrupt, with the hero Amleth only being A Lighter Shade of Black and Olga being almost white. Amleth is morally superior to his enemies only in that his personal moral compass stops him from acts like harming women and children. However, even though he does not seem to care for his fellow Vikings (denying that they are his "brothers"), he does nothing to prevent their more heinous actions and has no remorse for killing men only defending themselves from a raid or selling innocent people into slavery. Amleth does not want to kill Gunnar, whom he considers an innocent product of rape (or so he assumes until Gudrun states otherwise), which gives him a certain moral high ground versus his mother. But in the end he is forced to kill both in self-defense. He also decides to continue his revenge quest even after Gudrun reveals what a horrible person his father really was, deciding that "honor" is more important. It's been pointed out by Eggers that Amleth's nightly sneak killings would have been seen as dishonorable in the historical setting. Even the Vikings (the evilest characters in the film) only attack after being seen by the Slavic watchmen and loudly announce themself before attacking. This is because Vikings considered theft wrong and cowardly, but openly attacking someone in daylight to take their stuff was OK.

The Northman / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: When Amleth runs into his mother's chambers, she scolds him to never enter her chamber unannounced. This foreshadows a few things: It's revealed that she is a former slave, which would be revealed if anyone saw her slave brand. She eventually reveals that she holds no love for Amleth, who was "forced upon her" by an unwanted husband. Amleth will enter her chambers twice more unannounced, and both incidents end very poorly for them both. Heimir points out how quickly Gudrun hands her goblet to her brother-in-law, rather than her husband. Later on, after Amleth starts working at the compound, he witnesses Gudrun tenderly brushing FjÃ¶lnir's hair in private, and shooing away ravens, which were the namesake of Aurvandill. Later on, her true feelings on both brothers are revealed. Gudrun invites Aurvandill to bed upon his return, but Aurvandill declines. It's eventually revealed that Aurvandill merely "endured" his former slave of a wife. Only FjÃ¶lnir desired her. Gudrun mentions that Aurvandill's grandfather had to kill his uncle to claim the throne. While discussing FjÃ¶lnir, the Viking band that Amleth is a part of refers to Aurvandill as "the disgraced king," foreshadowing the later reveal by Gudrun that Aurvandill was not the great man Amleth remembers him as.

He even has the moon involved in his defeat, perhaps a subtle nod to GlÃ¡mr from Grettir's Saga. Undermined a bit because right after the fight we see his corpse hasn't moved at all and crumbles when Amleth touches him... but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. If you didn't get all the hints his magical sword is literally called Draugr. May also explain why the priests of Freyr initially assume Amleth's killings are the work of an evil spirit, as he's using a haugbui's magical sword and his depredations are a bit similar to the farm assailed by the undead in Eyrbyggja Saga.

The Northman / int_cb70651c	comment	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: While there are a few instances of overt supernatural events, other events that might be supernatural could have a mundane explanation. Amleth seemingly duels an undead warrior for possession of his sword, but the camera then pans back to show Amleth picking the sword up from the hands of the warrior's corpse. Was it just his imagination? Was it some sort of spirit battle? The scene where ravens peck at the bloody ropes binding Amleth and free him from captivity could also be interpreted as being Aurvandill or Odin's supernatural influence, a strange coincidence, or Olga returning to free him.

The Northman / int_e2ccee25	comment	Animal Motifs: Ravens represent Aurvandill (who is called "War-Raven") as well as Odin (who used ravens as messengers in Norse myths). Both Amleth and his father are associated with canines. Aurvandil likens himself to a battle dog (i.e., wolf) when he returns to his hall and greets Amleth and Gudrun. Right behind him comes FjÃ¶lnir with two hounds on leashes. The rite of passage Amleth endures involves him and Aurvandil acting like feral dogs while being tested by Heimer to prove their humanity. The pre-raid ritual Amleth takes part in with the Berserkers similarly involves them channeling their ferocity while most of them wears wolf pelts. A small arctic fox acts as Amleth's guide throughout his entire quest. There is also the detail of Amleth and his father literary having a werewolf as part of the family tree. The beheading of a horse is shown to represent the end of the mourning process for Vikings and FjÃ¶lnir's declaration of revenge after Thorir's funeral, and later at the base of the volcano where FjÃ¶lnir brings the corpses of Gudrun and Gunnar before the final battle.

The Northman / int_f5e59782	type	A Real Man Is a Killer
The Northman / int_f5e59782	comment	A Real Man Is a Killer: Deconstructed by showing the consequences that a culture that treats "dying by the sword" as the highest honor has on the men practicing it: Amleth's initiation is portrayed more like a debasing of the self than some cool moment. And Aurvandill's words about the Cycle of Revenge look less a Badass Creed than a curse being placed upon his son, which it more or less is. Adult Amleth is basically a broken person running on autopilot, who looks uncomfortable pretty much all the time, both as a berserker and while enacting his revenge; he even outright tells his mother that only after he completes his self-imposed mission will he find out if he actually enjoys living. The few times where he looks, if not exactly happy, at least at ease, are a few moments spent with Olga. The film shows badass manly Viking berserkers who mow through their enemies like a hot knife through butter... and who then act in a manner you'd come to expect from a Nazi death squad in a movie about the Holocaust, rather than a Viking warband in a Viking movie. All FjÃ¶lnir gets from killing his brother and usurping the kingdom is then being promptly exiled in disgrace himself alongside his family and some soldiers, and then for the small settlement he starts building to be terrorized and ultimately destroyed by Amleth. Thorir is reintroduced, as an adult, losing in a sparring match, and then spends the rest of the movie trying and failing to assert his authority, even though his father is shown to love him and thus, he might not need to, it's just what's expected of him. Even Gunnar: all he gets from getting involved in a brutal game, which he is treating like a real battle, is to be knocked unconscious and nearly killed and then dies when attacking his half-brother in revenge for his mother.
