this film is out of whack, but that is where it is supposed to be.
you have a real viking, rescuing a fake princess from a fake celt, and throughout, all become something they really didn't want to be when the game started.
they are nerds playing at fantasy violence without realizing that their modern skins mask a real violence hidden in their real history, and it just waiting for the right catalyst to prompt its release.
and then there is the ending. it is a mixture and manifestation of both fantasy and reality.
and that is the truth that surrounds us all. we all live in a mix of fiction and the other. and it is up to us which wins out and when.
when we give ourselves up to the impetus of a group, we also relinquish individual immunity from the crimes of that group--just ask albert speer.
