THE ONE QUESTION THAT HAUNTS CONAN

Фильм және анимация

There is one question that plagues Conan the Barbarian; the Riddle of Steel. The 42nd Anniversary of the legendary film, Conan the Barbarian, is upon us. Originally released on May 14th, 1982, Conan the Barbarian catapulted Arnold Schwarzenegger into instant icon status. Co-written by Oliver Stone and directed by John Milius, renowned filmmakers in their own right, Conan the Barbarian spawned a new era of fantasy movies. Accused of being a dumb hack-and-slash film, there is a deeper meaning behind Conan the Barbarian. A subtle riddle the drives the entire plot forward and builds it's world at the same time. The Riddle of Steel. Conan searches for the true answer to the Riddle of Steel after receiving two answers. On one side is Conan's father. On the other side is his father's killer, Thulsa Doom (played by the iconic James Earl Jones). So who was right in their answer to the riddle or did Conan find his own answer? Let's find out in this retrospective filled to the brim with trivia on Conan the Barbarian...

    Oh Copa, even you misunderstood the Riddle of Steel. It is not the sword, nor the steel in his heart, but rather the steel in his PANTS and how he uses it! If he hadn't boned Valerian so well, he never would've been saved! She even came back from the dead to save him... now THAT is some serious thirst that can only be quenched by Conan's "steel."

    Doom was right. If you watch the whole scene were he reveals Conan the answer to the Riddle of Steel. He isnt refering to physocal strength only but spiritual too. He says to Conan look at the strength of your body THE DESIRE IN YOUR HEART..I GAVE YOU THS. So he knew it clearly.

    Doom says flesh is the answer, which partly right. But flesh can be taken out by steal. Also, he meant the control of other people's flesh. Honestly though, he was closer to the answer than Conan's father was.

    ​@@CopaExMachinaYou got to analyze the whole scene and Doom a answer is not one to be taking literaly, the fllesh he referís to is also spiritual. When he shows the power of the flash part of it is to impose your will in others, convince or seduce them. That is why he makes the girl jump of the cliff. Also I once more refer yo what he said to Conan when he said he give him desire in his heart. That is how I interpret Doom s answer. And find it quite accurate.
