Mid Valley Part 2. Finally.

Beowulf was a strange movie. I walked in 3 minutes late ‘cause I had volunteered to get the drinks, and when I glanced up at the screen I saw men celebrating winning war in the ways they did those days. Except of course later I learnt they were just celebrating nothing. Only after 10 minutes did I realise they were animated. It was amazing. The effects, graphics, everything was superb.

For the first 45 minutes of the movie, I found it ridiculous. But then, I got into the “vibe” of the story. It was supposed to be a mythical story, and once I understood it, it turned out to be a fantastic movie.

Really. I watched it again as a way to say sorry to it for laughing at it initially.

Beowulf is based on an old English epic poem that was written between the 8^th and 11^th century. The author is unknown, and the poem is noted for its length. A rather unsuccesful movie with the same name was made in 1999, and they made changes to the original poem. The 2007 version however was a box office smash, hitting number 1. Probably due to its all star cast. And of course a "naked" Angelina Jolie.

Beowulf…go watch it!
