I am not sure about this, expensive or not...at least not for me. We are watching a romantic fantasy film called The age of Adaline...quite an interesting one!
ReplyDeleteWatched it many years ago, thought Blake was terrible in it, but she is always such a weak actress, beautiful but weak, and privately an immature person. Huisman was lovely in it, though.
DeleteI've read this epic poem before, but I have no idea what it would look like on screen. Maybe it will be a good surprise?
ReplyDeleteEpics are usually very confusing, so I have no idea either, but I imagine it will be Vikingish?
DeleteI hope the visuals will be beautiful. If you think it will be Vikingish, I trust at least that would add a nice visual element to it.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, but Fins are probably the darkest nation in the world, I mean they consider heavy metal their folk music, so I expect it will be very bloody and dark.
