It is said they eat the dead.

I thank the lord for his advice, though I do not recall hearing any exploits of his: apart from killing his brothers!
Antonio bandarez was about as arabic as I am in eaters of the dead
>>80488879
And? he was still good in the role, more believable than Keanu playing a Brit in Dracula. Can't believe how hard this movie flopped.
>>80488879
What's your point? Buliwyf was a Czech guy.
One of the more manly kinos to exist.
>when Antonio figures out they're just men
That language learning scene was bullshit
>>80486434
The dog can jump!
>>80488991
>this triggers the linguist
>>80488991
A gifted polyglot could pull that off in the x amount of weeks it took them to make that trip.
Still more believable than that big guy tanking a charging horse with an aikido takedown.

One of the vikings speaks Latin in the book they communicate that way.
>>80489035
Fucking Vikings man, bantz all day every day
>When you die, can I have that for my little girl?
>>80489067
We got that from Herger somehow comprehending Greek and speaking back in Latin, but that doesn't explain how a guy who doesn't even speak Latin would suddenly display a mastery in Danish from eavesdropping at a campfire.
>>80489191
ibn Fadlan did speak Latin.
>>80489235
Then why was the old guy doing all the translating at the camp whenever Herger spoke Latin?
>>80489191
it's fairly farfetched, but before globalization there were some insane linguists, I think catherine of aragon could speak 8 languages and she was just spanish nobility. As a courtier and ambassador I can imagine you'd become so intuitive with languages you could at least start to make vague inferences on it.
>>80489262
Don't care, ibn Fadlan was a real person he was highly educated in the classics and spoke Latin.
>>80489313
No one gives a shit, bookfag, we're discussing the fucking movie and the language learning scene was bullshit and there's no defense for it. >>80489310 tries, but since there's virtually nothing in common between the Scandinavian languages and the Arabic ones, and the film already portraying ibn Fadlan as being a duncecap with foreign languages, it's STILL a bullshit scene.
>>80489747
Wow you proved a movie is more bullshit than real life.
Nice job fagwad.
>>80488879
Well would you rather have an actual arab?
>>80489861
Only if he spoke Latin
They think they're bears...
>Watch this movie with my mom
>Everytime Antonio Banderas is on screen she bites her tongue
>>80488860
Can i point out that this guys would have been a perfect casting choice for a Warcraft 3 movie.
>>80490891
>shows up in Viking for like 2 episodes and dies
Fuck that shit
>>80488879
Eh, Antonia is brown enough.
Sure, you don't have the typical Semite nose, but not all of them have it.
You can't really tell many Arabs and Spaniards apart.
