"Not that I didn't hit him at all, but I didn't hit the ball." The film has a very ragged narrative rhythm. Some of the episodes are too long, some of them jump through the events too quickly, and by about the middle of the film I finally understood where I saw similar problems. It's a Polish Witcher! A complete feeling that according to the script, this work was supposed to be a series from which fragments were cut for the film. "Non-Hollywood" is not good for the film either. A set of classic cliches is still present: there is a betrayal of relatives because of unrequited love, and the fact that for the murder by the Sverkerssons of a conditionally “good” king right on the doorstep of the church, no one began to start a war (as far as I remember in reality Karl Sverkersson defeated his opponent Magnus on the battlefield and that is why he was able to rule calmly for some time), and a small but brazen villain who is evil only because he is evil, and impudent because he feels a strong hand on his leash, etc. But the lack of big money probably served as the reasons for the scarcity of combat (and this is the film, in the genres of which there are "fighter" and "military") and the zeal of the plot. Speaking of fighting. In the film, while studying at the monastery, Arn is shown as an ambidextrous (he is equally good at both hands). How will this fact (which is a noticeable emphasis in the “speed” section of the narrative) manifest itself? And the main character 1 time in a completely calm situation (in the only mass battle scene, in which, as always, extras fight somewhere against the background, and there is emptiness around the hero). Hello Hollywood stamps) exclusively for beauty is very spectacular, but extremely ineffective (level of applicability - Arya Stark, dropping a Valyrian toothpick from a blocked hand into a free one). Beautifully, showily, the enemy knows that the script should allow this trick to be carried out) by reception throws a twisted sword into his left hand and strikes a chopping blow at someone whom Arna’s horse is not visible at all. Logic... The main line with a worn, but good idea is spelled out more less decently. But you have to turn a little to the side and stumble upon the strange. For example, during the war for the crown, Knut Ericsson sends his wife to a monastery for safety. The decision seems normal until you remember that the Church in the country fully supports the Sverkerssons, against whom Knuth is fighting.
