Beowulf is the 2007 film written by Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman, directed by Robert Zemeckis, and starring Ray Winstone.It's a Motion Capture 3-D Movie adaptation of the epic Beowulf. The premise is an External Retcon: the story of Beowulf as we know grew in the telling (with a bit of help from Beowulf himself), and the "true" events are somewhat different — and, in a couple of key sequences where there were no witnesses and the story relies on the hero's word alone, very different.A novelization of the film was also written by Caitlin Kiernan. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_12f078f3 | comment |
Artistic License – Linguistics: Beowulf's insignia is a wolf, obviously corresponding to his name, at least the second half. But his full name actually translates as "bee wolf", a kenning meaning "bear" (because bears hunt for honey), such a tradition being relatively common these days. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_1420a9b8 | comment |
Scenery Censor: The titular character fights the monster Grendel completely nude, with his goods blocked from view by his leg, a sword, and a table, among other things. The shadow of his thigh blocks his fun bits at several points. If you slow down the film, you can see there are parts where his genitals would be visible but aren't, so it seems they weren't modelled in the first place. Grendel's mother (voice, face and rendered body of Angelina Jolie) is "clothed" in weird gold water... stuff. Though this could be an example of Non-Mammal Mammaries. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_15b09af9 | comment |
Heel–Face Door-Slam: While not villainous, Beowulf is a flawed person and a liar. In an inverted example of Clear My Name, he tries to have Wealthow and Wiglaf correct the lies about him after his death and publicize that he was a normal, flawed man, but they refuse and continue to uphold his heroic tale. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Takes this tack in regards to Beowulf's exploits for which there are no witnesses. Most notably, he didn't exactly "kill" Grendel's Mother. And he did more than "slay sea monsters" during that storm. Though not all of the film's divergences from the standard story can be explained this way. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: In real life, it would be impossible for a beast of the dragon's size to have such a small heart due to the high pumping strength he would need to send all his blood through his body. Also, a proportionally-sized heart would be attached by tons of flesh and thus it would be almost impossible to pull out manually. (Similarly, a correct heart would be probably located deep into the ribcage and not in the center of the neck, making it much less reachable through his throat hole.) These biological oddities are roughtly justified, however, because he is a supernatural creature whose dragon form is implied to be a magic work. The sea serpents are apparently reptilian predators, yet they have a single, large and very human-like eye. Without mentioning the eye number issue, an eyeball that large and exposed is an evolutionary nuisance, especially in a sea creature: it would hinder their swimming ability and at the same time would make an incredibly easy target to any hunting opponent. Also, the creatures would have to be Made of Plasticine for a man to be able to bore a tunnel through their palate in mere seconds and using just a sword. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Beowulf claims to have killed nine sea serpents in his swimming race, while Wiglaf recalls he said only three the last time. Assuming the onscreen battle is what really transpired (and it might perfectly be, as it shows a moment of the fight he notably omitted from the tale - the mermaid), he actually slew seven, if every gruesome eye-shot was a kill. Nevetheless, given that the theme of the movie is precisely that stories of heroism are often untrue, you never know. This is averted in the novelization, where he slays three and it is the number he says to Unferth. Why the horn glows in the darkness is not addressed in the film, implying that it is magical and has that property, or maybe that it reacts to the presence of Grendel's mother. Again, this is explained in the novelization, which shows Beowulf realizing it was actually a magic trick done by Grendel's mother herself to guide him to her through the cave. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: Hrothgar is implied to have entered into one with Grendel's mother when he fathered Grendel. Beowulf does so when he confronts her in her lair, giving her a son and the horn in exchange for peace and prosperity. This results in him fathering the dragon and her giving the horn back as subtext for the dragon to attack Heorot. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Both in the poem and film, the dragon only attacks Heorot after the drinking horn is stolen, which in the film is interpreted as a breaking of their pact. However, in the novelization the dragon implies he deliberately left the horn to be found in order to invoke the situation and have an excuse to kill Beowulf. He also states he isn't acting on behalf of his mother, but because he hates Beowulf for giving him a life as a Child of Two Worlds unable to fit in either, making him much more vicious than the relatively reactive dragon from the film and poem. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Grendel's exposed eardrum, and the royal dragon horn. Beowulf discovers that Grendel's exposed eardrum is his weak point, and punches it repeatedly to get the upper hand on Grendel during their fight. The royal dragon horn is given to Beowulf by Hrothgar for defeating Grendel, and it's taken by Grendel's mother to maintain their deal before it's abandoned decades later. Despite everyone using a "short sleeve" version of mail, when Beowulf fights the dragon he puts on mail that has a long left sleeve and a short right sleeve. The climax of the fight is only possible because of that one long mail sleeve. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: The novelization gives insight to many characters's heads compared to the film. For instance, it shows Grendel knowing the Norse gods thanks to having been taught by his mother, Wiglaf worrying at the beginning of the story that Beowulf might have legitimately gone a bit off his rocker after so many battles, Beowulf himself believing he might have been cursed by Grendel's blood, Wealthow pondering that dragons and supernatural beings should be just left alone instead of exterminated, and the dragon lamenting that he doesn't know his place in the world due to his dual nature and heritage. | |

Final First Hug | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_2fb585fb | comment |
Final First Hug: It is revealed the dragon Beowulf fights to the mutual death is actually his own son, by way of the same creature that was mother to Grendel. After the climax of the movie, wherein the dragon has mortally wounded Beowulf, and he has torn out the dragon's heart, they both crash-land on the beach. There, the dragon's form melts away into the waves, revealing a shiny, golden-skin humanoid. It's not quite a hug, but Beowulf looks his son in the eyes and lays a hand on his shoulder before his corpse washes away. | |

Phallic Weapon | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_303079ba | comment |
Phallic Weapon: Beowulf's sword Hrunting is given this treatment (or a rather exaggerated version) for visual poetry while talking to Grendel's Mother, who gives the sword a long caressing which makes the weapon's tip "ejaculate" liquid metal before flowing off entirely. It foresees Beowulf succumbing entirely to her charms and promises, as well as having sex with her and impregnating her with a child. | |

Kick the Dog: The dragon gave Unferth a message to relay to Beowulf, then burned Unferth's family alive. Grendel drinking blood from Hondshew's decapitated body and putting himself to sleep by muttering the word "killing", shows that he actually enjoyed what he was doing. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_421ae215 | comment |
Mysterious Past: The novelization states Grendel's mother is so old that she barely remembers her own past. She knows she had a mother, but cannot remember her or even her own name, and ignores if she ever had a father, suggesting that the cycle of revenge might be older than expected and that her father was a human just like Grendel and the dragon's. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: At the end of the film, Grendel's mother looks at Wiglaf seductively, likely enticing him to give her a son like Hrothgar and start the cycle again. Depending of how do you interpret Wiglaf's expression, he might be considering to accept her offer, pondering about the tragedy, or expressing a subtle rage towards her. The novelization has him doing the three things before ultimately refusing, although it shows Grendel's mother smiling at the thought she might get her goal sooner or later. | |

Villainous Crush: Grendel's mother is weird example. Even though she loves her children, any hero able to kill one of them seems to intrigue her. While she does slaughter his men, she does not actually harm Beowulf himself, and is glad that Hrothgar is unharmed during Grendel's first attack. She also returns to claim both Hrothgar's and Beowulf's bodies after their deaths. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Although the Zealanders speak in fake, but at least subtle, Danish accents — Grendel even speaks Old English — the Geats speak in the actors' natural accents, which means that the title character, since he's played by Ray Winstone, is a Cockney ("I'm 'ere to kiw your mhonschtah."), and Wiglaf speaks in Brendan Gleeson's usual Irish accent. | |

Body Horror: Grendel has patches of golden skin, but otherwise shed much of it and parts of the inside of his body are visible. His skull and body are also hideously malformed, giving him the appearance of a giant zombie. And he has no cock. Grendel's horrific body serves as contrast to the dragon's human form, which is a very handsome, golden man who can best be described as physically perfect. It's the film's way of telling us that Beowulf's essence was far more potent than Hrothgar's. | |

Devil, but No God: While it is never revealed if Grendel and his kin are literal demons, they are the only supernatural creatures in the setting; the humans are left to face them with just their iron swords and the strength of their arms (a human witch capable of real magic appears in the novelization, but she's clearly not in their league). Better exemplified by Hrothgar when he says the gods won't do for them what they won't do by themselves. | |

Disney Villain Death | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_5bdcc85a | comment |
Disney Villain Death: Played with. First, it happens to both the dragon and Beowulf. After ripping out the dragon's heart they both fall hundreds of feet to the beach below. Also Beowulf survives long enough to speak his dying words to Wiglaf. Third, Beowulf had cut off his arm and lost a lot of blood beforehand which likely hastened his death. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: Grendel's mother scolds him for killing humans. Not because she cares about human lives, as she really doesn't, but because humans are fucking dangerous (if not to her, at least to her offspring). | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_5ce2c9c6 | comment |
Suddenly Shouting: Happens twice, both in Beowulf's nightmares and accompanied by a Nightmare Face. The first is Grendel's mother in the form of Wealtheow saying, "Enter me and give me a SOOON!" The second is the dragon: "I'm something you left behind... FATHER!" | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_68f6e811 | comment |
Made of Plasticine: Grendel's arm gives out somewhat easily to the door slamming on it, being ripped out clean. However, given his clearly malformed physiology, his flesh might be effectively softer than human flesh when in normal size. It is less justifiable in the dragon, whose bizarrely diminutive heart is pulled off by Beowulf with relative ease. | |

Talking to Plants: A dying Grendel talks to the trees in his way back to the cave in the novelization, and they seem to talk back, shunning him because there was "some long-ago war with the giants and the dragons, and to them Grendel's blood stinks of both". He might be simply hallucinating due to the fear and blood loss, though. | |

Hell on Earth: According to one interpretation by Word of God, the goal of Grendel's mother is to sire another demonkind via humans in order to repopulate the lands, as she and her race were their original dwellers. However, this seems a bit hard to accomplish the way it is shown in the story, as it seems she only seeks to mate with the current king, has one child every time, and only does it if the previous one is killed. | |

Establishing Character Moment: One that acts for several aspects of Beowulf's personality. His battle against the sea serpents shows that he is an almost superhumanly powerful warrior, but also that he craves for glory and he doesn't shy away from lying and exaggerating his feats, and finally that while monstruous creatures are nothing for him, beautiful ones are his weak spot. | |

Transformation Discretion Shot | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_853a0e84 | comment |
Transformation Discretion Shot: During the dragon's rampage late in the film, we follow the monster into the burning wreckage of a building as it assumes its human form and confronts one of the survivors (Unferth). This scene is shot from the perspective of the dragon, so the audience doesn't realize that it has transformed until a rather human-looking shadow is cast on the wall in front of it and a humanoid hand slides into view to begin gesticulating at Unferth. For good measure, this also conveniently hides the fact that the dragon is Beowulf's son until he finally announces it to Unferth. | |

The Fair Folk: Grendel's mother and her children. Their race is shown to be powerful, shapeshifting and clearly much older than mankind, and it enjoys toying with human men and bringing them to ruin. In the novelization, Hrothgar comments they belong to faerie lore, and a witch identifies them outright as the dökkálfar or dark elves of Nordic myth. | |

The Perils of Being the Best: King Beowulf has become so Famed in Story that raiding parties constantly attack his lands in the hope of becoming famous as his slayer. Beowulf is so sick of this he rips off his armor and throws away his sword, daring the Sole Survivor of a Frisian raid to plant an axe in him. The Frisian isn't going down in history as the slayer of an unarmed Beowulf, so he can't do it. Beowulf then tells his men to give the Frisian a gold piece and send him home to further add to his legend. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Beowulf's story about his encounter with sea monsters has him claim that one of said monsters pulled him underwater, but he instantly killed it in retaliation, thus explaining why he lost the swimming race he was participating in. However, this story reveals his status as an Unreliable Narrator, because that "monster" was in fact a beautiful mermaid, with whom Beowulf apparently had sex with. This foreshadows how Grendel's mom later seduces him, as well as his attempt to cover up what really happened. Beowulf defeats Grendel in part by ripping Grendel’s left arm off (by slamming a door on it). Beowulf later has to sever his own left arm in the climax in order to defeat the dragon. The last line in Beowulf's first nightmare has Grendel's mother (in the form of Wealthow) saying, "Give me a child. Enter me and give me a SOOON!" Soon after Beowulf sleeps with Grendel's mother after venturing into her lair and begets a son. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_9d1cc720 | comment |
Barbie Doll Anatomy: In his naked fight against Grendel, Beowulf seems to have this if you slow down the film, as there are parts where his genitals would be visible but aren't. Another example, probably in-universe, is Grendel's Mother in human form, who lacks nipples and genitalia, although they might be there under all the liquid gold. In-universe example with Grendel, whose lack of genitals is pointed during his fight with the Geats. | |

Half-Human Hybrid | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_a2cbad1 | comment |
Half-Human Hybrid: Grendel. He may be sterile (given his apparent lack of reproductive organs), and though it may just be because he's a monster he gives a good impression of being sickly. He's hideously deformed, has what appears to be a nasty skin condition, and is sometimes heard whimpering as if in pain (though that's probably just because loud noises irritate his super-sensitive ear). The dragon at the end of the film is also a Half-Human Hybrid, born of a mating between Beowulf and Grendel's mother. This is also very much unlike the original poem, where no human ancestry was suggested for Grendel except that he was a distant descendant of Cain, and there was no evidence of the dragon having any trace of humanity. | |

Ascended Extra | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: In the original poem, Wiglaf only joins Beowulf at the end when he fights the dragon. Here, he's Beowulf's best friend and sidekick since the beginning. This change avoids an Adaptation Induced Plothole because Wiglaf doesn't kill the dragon in the movie, unlike in the poem, yet he succeeds Beowulf as king in both. The escaped slave that steals the dragon horn (a random golden cup in the poem) and brings the dragon's wrath is just a random slave in the poem that never appears again. In the movie, the slave belongs to Unferth, and we see him several times before and after he steals the dragon horn. Wealthow is greatly expanded from the original source where she was only Hrothgar's queen and the thanes' hostess. In this version she is an unhappy wife and queen, is attracted to Beowulf, and marries him after Hrothgar's death. As a result, she still has a role in the final act of the story, unlike in the poem where she stayed in Denmark while Beowulf returned to Geatland. Unferth only has one line in the original poem, and like Wealthow, he is absent after Beowulf returns to Geatland. In the movie, he both relays the news of the horn's theft and the dragon's attack and motives. Especially ironic is his status as a token Christian in Hrothgar's court and the presumed responsible of the kingdom's conversion to Christianity during Beowulf's reign while Beowulf himself remains a Pagan: in the poem, Beowulf was the Christian (although it's speculated that this was an addition to an original, all-Pagan version) and Unferth was a thyle, one of whose proposed translations is a priest of Odin. | |

Fatal Flaw | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_aba8065b | comment |
Fatal Flaw: Beowulf has many, but Pride and Lust in particular conspire to bring him down. One is heavily foreshadowed: his weakness for women is obvious in his memory of the mermaid seducing him, and makes his eventual acquiescence to Grendel's mother easy to see coming. And just as Grendel is King Hrothgar's wild indulgence taken to its most horrific extreme, Beowulf's dragon-son is his own youthful arrogance flying out to meet him. | |

Beowulf disarms himself and strips his armor, daring Finn to plant an axe in his chest. Finn threatens to kill Beowulf but ultimately can’t bring himself to murder an unarmed man begging to be slaughtered. Beowulf reacts with disgust at his men taking their sweet time beating up Finn of Frisia, chastises them for it, and orders them to kill Finn quickly so he may die with honor. | |

Cycle of Revenge | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_b7042372 | comment |
Cycle of Revenge: Hrothgar killed a dragon (implied to also be descendant of Grendel's Mother), and then went to fight Grendel's Mother. She seduced him and gave birth to Grendel who then plagued the lands. Beowulf killed Grendel, his mother killed Beowulf's men. He went to kill her, but was also seduced by her and their child became a dragon, who also ravages the land. Beowulf even states that he won't send someone else to kill the dragon, as that will simply start the cycle all over again. Beowulf kills the dragon, but dies in the process. The film ends with Grendel's Mother beckoning to Wiglaf, so it's unclear whether or not the cycle ends. | |

Hard Truth Aesop | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_bbc77bb5 | comment |
Hard Truth Aesop: The film posits that stories of heroism are basically lies told in order to cover up questionable or outright shitty behavior, and by the time you realize you shouldn't have told your own in the first place, you'll be too old and filled with regret for it to matter. See Plato's The Republic for more on the dangers of "true" heroic stories. | |

Compressed Adaptation: In the original poem, Beowulf travels to Denmark to fight Grendel and his mother, returns to Geatland, wins a massive battle against the Swedes, becomes king of the Geats, and fights the dragon years later. In the movie, Beowulf becomes king of Denmark after fighting Grendel and his mother, and fights the dragon there years later. The battle against the Swedes in Beowulf's youth is replaced by a battle against the Frisians in his old age. | |

True Companions: Beowulf and his right-hand man Wiglaf are always together even in combat, and it is their teamwork that ultimately defeats Grendel. Beowulf trusts Wiglaf so much that before facing the dragon, he tells Wiglaf that he will succeed him as king in the case of Beowulf's death. This is what happens. | |

Shout-Out: To Conan the Destroyer, another film where a loincloth-wearing, headband-sporting, sword-wielding hero must infiltrate an underwater lair and fight an enemy immune to sword slashes who wants a golden horn. According to Roger Avary, the scene of Beowulf fighting naked was inspired by Richard Corben's comic book Den, as well as the real life tradition of berserkers. | |

No Name Given: Just as in the poem, neither Grendel's mother or the dragon are named, they're only referred to as 'Grendel's mother' and 'dragon'. The novelization of the film even implies Grendel's mother has forgotten her own name; it explains that ancient men who worshipped her called her Hertha, Nerthus or Njördr, names of heathen goddesses, but it adds that none of them was her true name and she was no goddess. Otherwise, she is just referred to as the "merewife", "demon wife" or "aglaeca" (a real term from the poem whose meaning is a headache for modern linguists). | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Grendel's mother's true form is only glimpsed in reflections. (And if you are really curious◊, a figure sculpt was released.) Grendel's mother can be seen in full rather briefly; when Beowulf wanders through her cave, she can be seen among the gold, hanging from the ceiling. However, her skin's color makes it rather easy to miss on initial viewing. | |

An Arm and a Leg: When Beowulf fights Grendel when Grendel attacks the mead hall the second time, Beowulf rips Grendel's arm off by trapping Grendel in the doorway and slamming the door on it. At the end, Beowulf amputates his own left arm so he can rip out the dragon's heart with his right hand. In Grendel's case, the arm is later seen above the mead hall's door. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_d2a11313 | comment |
Death of the Old Gods: Beowulf laments that "the time of heroes is dead, the Christ-God has killed it, leaving nothing but weeping martyrs and fear and shame." Probably an allusion to how the original poem is believed to be an ancient Pagan work that got Christianized over time, presumably losing all the elements that didn't appeal to the Christian transcripters. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: The dragon is similar to a wyvern, with two hind legs and two batlike wings for forearms. The one we see also has fins on his tail to help with swimming, and may be fully amphibious. It's unclear if this is standard for dragons in the setting, or if he's part sea serpent due to his mother's aquatic heritage. Aside from him, another dragon is mentioned and yet another is spoken of in the novelization. | |

Something Else Also Rises: Grendel's Mother caresses Beowulf's sword while talking to him, emitting some magical light from her fingers, and at the end of the talk the weapon melts off from tip to hilt.

Everyone Can See It: Beowulf and Wealthow fall in Love at First Sight with each other. When Wealthow asks one of the horny wenches if she wants to get in bed with Beowulf, she says that it is not her whom he has the hots for. Hrothgar also notices it right away but he cares very little, going as far as "willing" his queen to Beowulf along with his kingdom before he jumps to his death. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_dd3969b | comment |
Unferth only has one line in the original poem, and like Wealthow, he is absent after Beowulf returns to Geatland. In the movie, he both relays the news of the horn's theft and the dragon's attack and motives. Especially ironic is his status as a token Christian in Hrothgar's court and the presumed responsible of the kingdom's conversion to Christianity during Beowulf's reign while Beowulf himself remains a Pagan: in the poem, Beowulf was the Christian (although it's speculated that this was an addition to an original, all-Pagan version) and Unferth was a thyle, one of whose proposed translations is a priest of Odin. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_f2e68fd8 | comment |
Unrated Edition: Featuring Zemeckis's original NC-17 cut of the film he intended for IMAX theatres. It's an unusual example for two reasons: one, the theatrical release of the film was PG-13 instead of the expected R, presumably for Animation Age Ghetto purposes; secondly, the unrated edition is the exact same length as the theatrical version; no new scenes are added, rather, most shots containing violence or sexual content are just a little bit more so. Content changes include all of the film's blackish blood being turned red, less Scenery Censor for nudity and none at all when it was used for gory moments, certain violent or sexy shots being more close-up and, in one instance, a mead hall attendee who was originally making out with a woman is now all up in her cleavage. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: All of the three shown members of Grendel's race have a human form and a monster form that is typically bigger and scarier. In Grendel's case, both forms are almost identical and only vary in size and proportions, while his mother and brother are humanoids that can turn into draconic creatures. Interestingly, though, exactly which is their base form seems to vary; Grendel and the dragon return to their human form after dying, while their mother's sexy human appearance is implied to be the non-standard one. | |

Skyward Scream: IN THE NAME OF ODIN! Wiglaf does this when he enters the mead hall and sees the corpses in the rafters. | |

All Trolls Are Different | |
Beowulf (2007) / int_fd752bc3 | comment |
All Trolls Are Different: The novelization mentions trolls, especially when comparing Grendel with them, but it's stated he is not one of them, and his mother even gets angry at the insinuation. | |

Bawdy Song: The Geats singing songs of this sort. They also do this at Beowulf's request to attract Grendel, and it works. | |

Beowulf (2007) / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Beowulf exploits this on Finn of Frisia. After Finn loses the battle he led against King Beowulf, Finn demands a fight with Beowulf. Beowulf disarms himself and strips his armor, daring Finn to plant an axe in his chest. Finn threatens to kill Beowulf but ultimately can’t bring himself to murder an unarmed man begging to be slaughtered. | |
