Pioneer

Plot: The film is based on the 1987 Norwegian film Ofelas. The story of "Lost in the White Night" takes place in Norway in 1000 AD, where a group of tribesmen living in northern Scandinavia brutally murder a family: a husband and wife and their daughter. The youngest son of the family saw the sudden tragedy, who escaped the slaughter and was determined to take revenge. Unfortunately, before he could fight back, the hateful marauders used him as a guide to find the locals. What should he do? Sleeping with the enemy? Or do you want to get revenge by all means? The little boy is caught in a painful choice. After the release of "Lost in the White Night", it was widely acclaimed.　　The adapted story takes place in the American continent 500 years before Columbus discovered the New World, when the Vikings had already discovered the American continent, and the Vikings, known as pirates, began the process of raiding the Native Indians since the discovery of the New World. The story begins when a group of Vikings are violently revolted by the Native Indians, who leave a young Viking boy on the American continent and the good Indians raise him as their own child. Twenty years later, the Viking boy was once again attacked by Vikings in his tribe, and the Viking boy was faced with a difficult choice between his blood relatives and the benefactor who raised him......　　Behind the scenes: [About the director] As a filming music video director, Marcus Nispel understands the concept of fashion best. Nispel, who directed the most influential horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is based on the true events of 1974 and is a classic of horror films for its bloody violence and imaginative filming, especially the masterful use of shadow and light. Because of this, Nispel has found another magic key to expressing his thoughts – "Style over Substance": it means films that focus on technique and scenes. This is also very well shown in "National Treasure" starring Nicolas Cage, which Nisper later co-directed. And when the filming plan of "The Marauder" was revealed, there was speculation that the film could be another landmark work on Nispel's film path.　　The screenplay for "The Trailblazer" was written by Laeta Kalogridis, who helped Oliver Stone with "Alexander the Great," and Nisper hired Nils Gaup, the screenwriter of the original film. Nils Gopp was comfortably nominated for Best Norwegian Film for "Lost in the White Night". In the adaptation of "Pioneers", before the discovery of Columbus in the New World, the war between the indigenous tribes of North America and the Vikings has not stopped, and the most important thing in this film is these war scenes, after the trailer of the movie, you will find that this movie has an epic feeling, from the costumes of the actors to the big scenes of the war scenes are very exquisite, so that people have speculated that "The Pioneers" will likely become a dark horse at the end of the summer file. This bodes well for Nisper and the studio.　　The cast of this film is not very strong, except for Carl Urban, who has performed brilliantly in the "Lord of the Rings" series, "Spy 2" and "Doom", there are almost no familiar faces, but that's okay, after all, the actors in the show wear horn masks most of the time.　　【About Vikings】 Because this is a movie about the conflict of Viking life, it is necessary for us to understand the history of Vikings.　　Viking: The English word "Viking" comes from the Icelandic word "Vik", which means "bay".　　The Vikings lived in Northern Europe more than 1,000 years ago, in today's Norway, Denmark and Sweden. At that time, Europeans were more likely to refer to it as "Northman", that is, visitors from the north. Viking is their self-designation, and in the Norse language, the word has a dual meaning: first travel, then plunder. The Vikings were also the last tribe of barbarians to be called "Germans" by the Romans, who once terrorized all of Europe. From their homeland in Scandinavia, the Vikings traveled across the ocean in dragon ships to launch surprise attacks on other civilizations. The main reason why people called the boats that the Vikings rode on was dragon ships because of the dragon heads carved into the bow and stern of these boats. In the beginning, the Vikings quickly completed a series of raids and retreats before the regular armed forces in the attacked areas arrived, but as their strength grew, they became more and more emboldened, and in the end, the Vikings occupied many important parts of Europe and settled in the occupied areas. As pagans in the eyes of Christians, the Vikings would not hesitate to kill the clergy inside the church and rob the church's belongings. Fearful of their ruthlessness and ferocity, the Vikings were likened to demons from hell. They sailed all over Europe, from the Red Sea in the south to North America in the west and Baghdad in the east. But the first time they appeared in front of the local people, they robbed and plundered as pirates.　　From the 8th to the 11th century, the Vikings fought and invaded their neighbors. Gradually, they acquired nationality, gradually took on the names of the Swedish Vikings, the Norwegian Vikings and the Danish Vikings. Each nation chooses a battlefield: the Swedes fight eastward; The Danes sailed westward; Norwegians often raided at sea, encroaching on unexplored or sparsely populated areas. The Vikings traveled all over the world: discovering Greenland, sailing a longship to the Americas, immigrating to Iceland, plundering Ireland, expeditioning to Russia, and capturing France in a sea of blood. In eighth-century Europe, the prayer sounded: "O God, save us from the atrocities of the northerners!" Don't let us meet them. However, the Vikings were also known for their excellent craftsmen, seafarers, explorers and merchants.　　With the spread of Christianity on the continent, the Vikings gradually converted their faith with money or the sword, and religion finally made them abandon the practice of begging for a living with their fists, and wandering pirates settled in various places. The indigenous people of the Volga valley were Slavs, and after years of constant fighting between the tribes, some people went to Northern Europe to bring in powerful mercenaries and leaders. So the Varangians from Scandinavia put an end to the strife, and the influx of Viking immigrants became known locally as "Rus", Rus. It was not until 882 A.D. that Grand Duke Oleg established the Rus' state, calling the country they lived in "Rusland", which is today's "Russia" - Russia.
