Ring of the Nibelungs
Its one of those movies you're not sure you love or hate. Unlike the classic play of good triumphing over evil, love conquering all, and the heroes riding off into the sunset - this movie had none of that. Our hero, Siegfried, is brainwashed → his true love, Brunnhild, (before the brainwash) orders him killed for disgracing her → Siegfried is killed → his killer and the King fight over power which leads to both of them being killed → Brunnhild kills herself over Siegfried's body.
Despite the evident futility of it all, its refreshingly different, the soundtrack was good, there were a couple memorable lines, the cinematics were bearable, and how the very beginning of the movie was linked with the end was pretty cool. The 'everlasting love/killing yourself over your dead love thing' was quite "nice" too.
The last lines of the movie:
Giselher: [as Brunnhild dies with Siegfried] Today the old gods live again.
Lena: No, today the old gods die with them.
Closing Song:

You do know that this is based on Norse mythology which i love right?
I hate it when they muck it up. and did they put anything about the rhine daughters and the ring that Odin wanted so badly times and schemed over when brunhilde gave it to Sigfrid? any mention of Gudrun?
yeas i know lol... but well you can't really claim anything strays from legend when there's like so many versions of the legend.. gudrun was ofcourse in it.. she sucks so bad.. wanted to slap her...
she is moronic after all.
I know this cos i'm writing All's Fair based on Norse mythology...
ahahaha...
Taken from the shoes of Tom Holt and Terry Pratchet, gods of silly comedy. :P
