#13th warrior soundtrack movie

The same elements of Christianity can be traced in the movie вЂњ13th WarriorвЂќ, however, with some differences. Beowulf went to kill the dragon in order to stop killings on innocent, just like Jesus has sacrificed himself to give salvation to the whole human kind. Probably, the author was trying to put Beowulf on the line with Jesus. Beowulf has taken 12 men to his last fight, just like Jesus had twelve disciples at the table during the Last Supper.

For that killing of Abel the eternal Lord took vengeance.вЂќ( Heaney, 165). There are also references to the Cain killing Abel вЂњthis unhappy being had long lived in the land of monsters since the Creator cast them out as kindred of Cain. Moreover, the elements of creation story are also present вЂњhe told how, long ago, the Lord formed earthвЂќ (Heaney, 164). The word God is mentioned and it is capitalized, the same is done in Bible. вЂњIt came into his mind (BeowulfвЂ™s) that he would command the construction of a huge mead-hall, a house greater than men on earth ever had heard of, and share the gifts God had bestowed on himвЂќ(Beowulf, 164). The poem depicts two religions: Christian and Pagan.

The central theme of Beowulf is religion and it could not be avoided in the movie as well. Nevertheless, there are still many similarities and it proves that the great works of literature can by enjoyed and understood by general public with the help of the movies. Some similarities are still present, however, the real events described in Beowulf seem to look better in the movie. The movie вЂњ13th WarriorвЂќ is based on this epic poem, however, the representation of major themes, such as friendship, fame, courage, religion and evilness are quiet different. Beowulf is the oldest epic written in English and the single existing cope of the writing dated from the tenth century.
