FLIPADELPHIA posted:I think Eggers has come out and said that one of his main goals in making this movie was to undercut the mythos of Viking culture as being heroic warriors full of martial virtue. White supremacists have done their best to coopt Norse iconography and this was Eggers basically giving those people the finger. Yeah, it makes clear that he has gained martial prowess at the almost total cost of his humanity. That thin sliver of hope that he is not a total beast is shown when he doesn't partake in the massacre of the unarmed and shows some kinda-sorta disdain when the fisherman is shot earlier. It's not much. When he went back to the burned-out town hall, I was hoping he'd look for survivors or kneel and ruminate over their ashes but no, it's because he heard Björk' call.
