The Northman Scene That Broke Alexander Skarsgard

Did you know this scene from The Northman took over 20 takes to get right? #shorts

This movie was amazing. I feel bad for the difficulties ruining takes, but hopefully everyone was okay with the product in the end

Robert Eggers goes up to the actors as they’re crying about the rain, “this is the last teardrop you will shed in weakness”

Real Berserkergang will make you cry after your frenzy. They pushed the actors on purpose.

Alexander should have won an Oscar for this. So much energy 🎉

As a huge fan of bands like Heilung and Wardruna that scene around the fire was awesome

[Bloodletter]

Loki: Imma just put one, single, tiny drop of rain right *HERE*

[earlyosceola]

The best movie I've seen in years

As someone from Northern Ireland (where it was filmed), the cold is bizarre. It's a wet-cold, barely on the edge of freezing and sinks into your pores. Your body temperature dips rapidly despite no frost.

Meanwhile rain never stopped the Vikings.

One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates. 🎈

That ritual scene is one of the greatest from the movie, the best one for me

It is good!!! I love the realism of the movie, it’s incredible I love that.

Absolutely fantastic movie! A HUGE round of applause to the actors, writers, director and supporting cast.

I'll admit that berserker scene gave me chills...Really Great Film!!

[joeyfigueroa]

Especially being that lean with a low body fat percentage I bet they were cold af. Poor guys

[jamesdaniels]

You'd think they would channel all of that into their performances

[krw]

Poor actors... They got paid insane money to spend a night in the rain having to do 20 What brave heroes..😂😂😂😂

[volkardlokisson]

I'd just like to point out that the scene that was hardest on them was one depicting an Óðinnic rite...

[NoOneGetzOutAlive]

Oh a full rewrite! That explains a lot.
