there was an interview of Antonio Banderas where he was going over his career. He said that he always hoped this movie would be rediscovered and people would see how good it was. the interviewer (paraphrased) said, "Wait, do you not know? Go online and see, there are many people who love this movie."

The rank of logicness is: 1. Islam 2. Agnostic 3. Atheist 4. Christianity, Judaism, and other monotheistic religion 5. Hinduism, Buddhism, and other polytheistic religion 6. Animism or people that worships nature. If you're atheist, come on. Just 2 rank again and you will be more smarter. Islam is the most logic. Atheist itself is not logic because.. If the universe make its own self, then who create it in the first place? Who create the first material of universe? In religion, we have concept of.. God create the universe and God exists since we don't know. He already there so he never born and never die. At this point you will become agnostic person. A person that don't follow any religion but believes in God. One God. There is one invisible divine being that created us and watch us. And after u became agnostic, you will feel the urge to find the most logic religion. And it's Islam of course. Islam have complete rules about life. That's how "God's rules" supposed to be. If religion is God's rules, then it must have rules for every sectors. To make human live in the right way. Religion must not just talk about spirituality. Religion also need to talk about their stuffs like economy, how to dress, how to interact, how to slaughter animal in the kindest way, etc. AND RELIGION NEED TO STAY SAME SINCE THE FIRST IT CAME OUT UNTIL FOREVER. Look at Christianity. Lot of edits happen there. The latest edit of Christianity is.. some churches allowing LGBT community. Even the birth of Jesus on Dec 25th is a lie too. Jesus born in the warm season of Jerusalem. Soo.. Obviously it is not December. December is the cold season even for the Arab region even though there is no snow in there. The same thing goes with another "religion". Lot of edits. And still growing. Unlike Islam that stay same like that since the birth of Islam until we don't know when. Islam law doesn't change. It just adapting to the new latest knowledge and technology of humankind. For example is.. In Islam, interest is FORBIDDEN or HARAM. But this law/rule also applies to the interest in e-finance thing. Don't u think e-finance interest is acceptable because there is no e-finance word in Quran or Hadith. Interest is interest.

I love both of the prayers but especially the first. It goes the complete opposite way you expect. Ibn isn't asking forgiveness for the things he's done, like most movies would show. He's asking forgiveness for everything that he should have done. He fully admits to having waste of much of his life with frivolous nonsense. And now, at the potential end of this time, he suddenly realizes how unimportant a lot of those things were. It's it's an amazingly simple but powerful sentiment and since none of us are going to make it out of here alive, definitely something to live by. No regrets.

It is more a sin unto yourself to not aspire to reach your own potential than to God, though by mistreating yourself, you do sin before God. Jehovah, Allah, and Odin would all hold that to you that you live the best life possible for yourself. Which would include taking time to heal your mind, and appreciate the world around you. Look to the horizon and wonder what could be beyond. Relish the smell of a flower that you walked by. Listen to the stories of a man you only just met. It's not just what you can give to people, but also remembering what you can give yourself. Being selfless doesn't mean having no regard for self. Because when you take care of yourself, the longer your journey may be, and the more you can give unto others.

The interesting part of the two prayers is that they come off as a dialog. The first prayer is asking for forgiveness and support. The second comes off as if it were a reply promising the reward of afterlife for bravery and sacrifice. Say what you will of the movie as a whole, this part was particularly well written.

They ALL have their merits and faults. We as mere humans are arrogant to thinnk that God is always on our side regardless of which side we fight for. But fighting for what is right is always just.

Every time this movie is broadcasted, I watch it, and always for these two prayers. They both have their merits. One is a man simply asking God to give him the strength to live the next few minutes well, to stand against the Wendol, as well as asking him to forgive him for not living life to the fullest. The other is a firm belief that your ancestors are watching and waiting for you, and that aslong as you are brave, you will be welcomed into Valhalla if it is your time. Both aren't so bad at all, I think.

This was one of many of the "smaller" movies my father showed me. I'll remember and love it forever.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE

One of the things I love about this movie is that final fight was just a few moments of slow motion, and practically still frames, it was the build up and dialogue from the characters which made this so memorable. Small detail that I like was how he unsheathed the sword (knife) and threw the scabbard away, because he knows he will never use it again.

The wishes of dead men.... knowing death is near, hearing it echo in the hills... The 'prayer' here was perfection......

Some people did see it and smiled, the men of the 75/419 watched it and rejoiced as we recited the prayers as we faced the tali. Some of us did not return but they still live in our hearts.

This is the most underrated movie I know. I was surprised what low reviews it got on rotten tomatoes. they say the story is underdeveloped. Its kinda ironic because I really like the fact that the story is not overly complicated with silly plot twists and the tale it does tell is executed so well. Its focused, to the point and completely bad ass. wish there were more movies like this.

@@brotherhoodofsteeld.c.chap1917 I think Ibn Fadlan was from the Abbasid Kalifat. And the Varangians were northern germanic and eastern slavic warriors. The name is not the name of a culture or tribe. It's the name of a guard unit of the emperor of Constantinopel. Eastern germanic tribes didn't exist at this time anymore. These warriors were Svear or Göter. In eastern europe called Rus. That name came from the finnish word for rowing. Oh and a Hesir is a noble of the northern germanic tribes. Later the Jarl replaced the Hesir in his rank and the Hesir was a minor noble or a leader of a warparty.

The most profound words in movies recently and spoken by one of the best actors - Antonio Banderas. My favourite part: he is tossed a sword and says "I cannot lift this" the other fellow says "well, grow stronger."

Right in the Norseman feels right here. Still get all weepy whenever I see this and hope I have enough time to utter this in my death rattle.

I just realised this scene got inspiration from 'the Battle of the Mounds' from Conan the Barbarian (1982), with Conan's final prayer to Crom before he and the few faced the evil Riders of Doom! And even this was inspired by 'the Battle on the Ice' from Alexander Nevskij (1938) with Alexander and his army awaiting the evil riding knights of the Teutonic Order.

Prayer completed. Berserker mode activated! -While Berserker mode is active: + 100 strength + 100 critical dmg +100 agility, additionally preventing any poison, dieses or sick effect for the next 5 min.

i remember showing this movie to my older cousin when i was a kid and after taking a nap the next day i walked into the living room and he was watching it again ..awesome movie ...

Fuckery this is a good movie. Totally holds up.

F'n Love, Love, Love this!!!! I actually saw this in a half empty theater, and still cheered loudly during this scene. Great days indeed.

A man and warrior who has prepared his life is spared fear and panic in combat situations where they may face overwhelming odds and certain death. The reward of preparation is Peace and resolve. This manifests itself in a fierce resolve that can lead to confusion and dishearten the enemy, breaking their courage and their attack. Both of these prayers reveal a mastery over life and fear from two cultural perspectives. Every culture has something similar.

The prayer beginning at 1:06 may even suggest when a extreme danger may come there's for all humans the wish and the greatest hope to remedy our mistakes with a great act of goodness and courage and also to give a new sense to our life since that moment on.

I saw it at the cinema when it first came out, and I saw a good review of it in my local newspaper. But then the major media critics started saying how awful it was, and very few went to see it. I think it's great. It's based (somewhat) on the travels of a real Arab who had contact with the Vikings. The Viking funeral is based on his writings.

My father, brother, and I are all heavily Danish and Norwegian. When the three of us were watching this movie, at the very end of this video he stopped the movie, looked my brother and I dead in the face, and with complete seriousness said "never forget my sons. The blood of the northmen runs in your veins as well." Truly one of my best memories of him.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

I watched this movie 10 times at least. I watch it every time I stumbled upon it while switching through the channels. This scene still gives me goosebumps. Every damn time.

This movie had everything going against it during production and it's still hella fun. If the cast and crew weren't undermined at every turn it'd have been a legit masterpiece.
