This one sat in front of me for months before I finally decided to watch it. "Pleasant" is about the best word to describe this film, which is a long way from "exciting" or "moving." It's enjoyable, but not in the same way you normally think of a film as such. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-19596884292586905492013-03-20T11:58:20.237-04:002013-03-20T11:58:20.237-04:00tryanmax, Thanks for the review.

The dialogue seemed a little too cautious. Dancing around the "J-word" is one thing, but these monks even danced around the "G-word." Awkward! tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-81905886487570348802013-03-20T02:18:02.444-04:002013-03-20T02:18:02.444-04:00I'm a big fan of this movie as well and was al...I'm a big fan of this movie as well and was also initially disappointed by the mild contortions to keep any overt Christianity in the background. <br /><br /><br /><b>SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS </b><br /><br /><br /><br />In the end, however, the Christian boy defeats the pagan god (which the fairy could not) and the pagan Northsmen grabs the book but can only see the value of the jewels on the cover - leaving the illuminated word as worthless. So there is a validation in the end. <br /><br />Highly recommended.
