All I know of Scandinavian history I learned from ‘The 13th Warrior’.

  The 13th warrior was the first time I remember seeing Viking culture reflected in a "big" movie where I could actually understand what the native vikings were saying. And I've always enjoyed the transition from when he goes to understanding them and all of a sudden they all speak english. "I've learned by listening to your filthy mouth.." or however that line goes As a Scandinavian I think about this scene a lot. I don't know why haha.

    Michael Crichton was good about those little devices that could fill a plot hole just plausibly enough for it to not be distracting.

    I suddenly realize the American show Vikings took this to the next level where English is spoken by POV characters and characters who speak their language and everyone else speaks their foreign language. Kinda cool hearing Brits attempt Old English on television show.

    It's hard to believe today that Omar Sharif was in that movie.
