Yeah this was good, heavy to be sure but I did appreciate how Eggers did commit to showing characters with this worldview, even as he subverts it. And the (mostly plausibly deniable) light fantasy touches were interesting, a good approach to this kind of material. At times it reminded me of an old fashioned costume epic. I also got the idea that Eggers could probably do a pretty good adaptation of The Stars My Destination.

Oh you should absolutely see The Lighthouse. The VVitch is fine and all but The Lighthouse is pure entertainment.

checkplease posted:The Viking rituals(barking, wolf howls and skins, bears) show the Vikings becoming more animal like an attempt the be more pure killers. Such animals can kill without hesitation or regret like the raiders But animals don’t seek revenge. That’s purely a human thing. Orca, The Killer Whale (1977, d. Michael Anderson) begs to differ

I honestly have no clue how accurate anything in the movie is, and I’m not sure it matters.

Yeah the film isn't exactly realistic but I did feel like it took place in a world where even the biggest baddest dude can get taken down by a lucky idiot with a pointy stick, so yeah, best to bide his time.
