Review of Valhalla Rising (2009) by Majken B — 25 May 2011
Aguirre, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, beautifully. Mikkelsen has a charisma through every minute as he envisions craziness, death and as he tries to protect a young Viking boy and guiding him to a place where there's no violence, but harmony between nature and men.
The Christian Knights are the opposite the two of them: violent, materialistic and weak. When their leader tries to conquer The Holy Land, his goals are ignored by Indians and nature itself, and as a result of that his men are first reject him, then they kill themselves off.
The color red here symbolizes the bloodshed, the wrong visions of Christianity as well as Einstà 1/4rzende Neubauten's noise music.
