RobbZombae posted:Where is the nuance? The movie is pretty straightforward and certainly isn't subtle. It shows Amleth's point of view is the ascention to heaven as he's fulfilled his goals in the manner he reads as successful, but he also lacked the ability to read his mother's joy or process the possibility his father was lovely. He's the protagonist, but not painted as a hero, and the mythological aspects are shown as subjective - part of his characterisation is an inability to consider his perspective is wrong. Of course he believes he goes to heaven - martyrs believe they're right without a doubt. Basic comprehension of the rest of the film shows that they're very obviously not casting Amleth as an anti-hero, hero, or doing the right thing, though.
