Saxons
and Danes live above the rivers, below the rivers live the Franks. They
want to achieve what even the Romans did not succeed: conquer all of
Europe. They put in a new weapon to enslave the
Gentiles: Christianity. They target Europe's main trading centre, where
the Frisian king Aldigisl rules. Redbad, son of King Aldigsl,is doubting
the outdated rituals of his people. He comes into conflict with his
father when his girlfriend Fenne is appointed to be sacrificed to the
gods. During the sacrificial ritual, the Franks enter the city.

Well,this epic shows that the Dutch aren't inferior to the americans when it comes to adventure, violence, courage, sacrifice. All these tough movies come to remind us, in a mega sort of way, that life is tough and full of adventure.
Many different parts of the world have intriguing history but the rest of the world does not know about it since US and the west dominate media. My own country's history is utterly reminiscent of Lord of the Rings and such sagas.
