Beowulf (2007)

Read Beowulf

While the tale of Beowulf isn't exactly mangled, the details of just about everything are changed. The story is definitely identifyable, even not that bad to watch, but terribly not awesome either. I did find the digital look ditracting, and wonder if it could really be cheaper than the sets required to film. Eh.
Not going on The Shelf, but eh, wasn't a waste of time either.



Follows, the songs Queen Wealthow sings, not-period (pity) but I found them wonderful. She plays them to a harp.

lips ripe as he berries in june
red the rose, red the rose
skin pale as the light of the moon
gently as she goes.
eyes blue as the see and the sky
water flows x2
heart burning like fire in the night
gently as she goes
la la la....
gently as she goes

------

Out of the mist of history he'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea to a wounded nation
Signs of a savior and fire on the water
It's what we prayed for, one of our own

Just wait though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always a hero comes home

Deep in the heart of darkness sparks a dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness he finds the will to fight
There's no surrender, always remember
It doesn't end here, we're not alone

Just wait though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always a hero comes home

And he will come back on a crimson tide
Dead or alive
And even though we know the bridge has burned
He will return... He will return!

Just wait though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He knows of places unknown
But always a hero comes home

Someday he may carve his stone
The hero comes home

He goes and comes back alone
But always a hero comes home
Just wait though wide he may roam
Always a hero come home!
