Beowulf and Grendel

This movie is based off of the literature medieval tale Beowulf and Grendel which was made up in the Renaissance age. This story is about a hero named Beowulf who literally fights monsters and even people for that matter to save all mankind or a king who can't handle it. I couldn't find a movie script about this movie probably because this movie wasn't that popular but it was very neatly written and produced. This movie also had great camera work and good actors staring in this movie. More unlikely possibly one reason why I couldn't find the script was because this story is in literature books all over the country and is a very well-known story.

Basically, the story in literature books is slightly different from the movie. it's definitely a lot more fantasized than the movie. The movie was more like a medieval movie. Kind of like Braveheart or 13th warrior. But, that shouldn't destroy the movie so much. The story line of the book is also different but mostly 85% accurate. In the story version, Grendel eats people for no reason and gets his arm ripped off by beowulf but doesn't die. Also the king called Beowulf to kill this monster. After ripping his arm off Grendel runs away. Beowulf fallows him to his cave and kills him also coming across his mother and killing her too but getting very fatigued and warn out. He comes back to the castle with his head and arm of course and hangs the arm and head over the bridge of England to verify that he's dead.
In the movie, they made it more realistic and not so much of a fairy tale. In the movie Grendel has a father and the soldiers kill his father and Grendel grows up and plots revenge upon these particular soldiers which are Danes. Grendel becomes a killer and goes to the castle every night and kills these soldiers after feasting. The king calls Beowulf. He comes but Grendel doesn't want them he only wants the Danes for revenge. So, Beowulf and his gang go to Grendel's cave and trash everything. Grendel finds out and attacks everyone including Beowulf and his gang. But Beowulf puts a rope around Grendel's arm and Grendel cuts his own arm off and dies when he runs away. The mother of Grendel finds out and goes to the camp to kill everyone and take back his arms. Beowulf fallows and kills his mom but finds out that Grendel had a son in which Grendel slept with a witch that knew Beowulf. When Beowulf leaves after being victorious he sets sail to see the young boy saying goodbye.

The movie was different the reason Why I think why was because they probably wanted to make it more realistic so the audience could see it as something that could actually happen and not something that is made up. But everything besides that was very accurate. Sometimes producers have to do that to a film and it can either make the movie or break it. Since this was a fantasy movie I think they got away with it if you don't know anything about the real story but if your a literature person I don't recommend you to watch this movie because a good portion of the movie was remade and re-scripted.

P.S. THE IMAGE YOU SEE OF THE TWO PEOPLE IS THE COVER OF THE MOVIE AND THE OTHER PICTURE IS THE WAY GRENDEL IS SUPPOSE TO LOOK IN THE LITERATURE VERSION. IN THE MOVIE HE'S A TROLL.
