>How did you understand us?!
>I listened!
Oh wow hahaha that is awful
>>66471213
explain
i've wanted to watch this but it looks iffy. is it retarded?
>>66471213
That is literally how children learn to speak though, you humongous retard.
Reading comes after.
>>66472106
It's about a muslim warrior who joins a norse mission to kill some of their enemies.
It's not the best
>>66472106
I enjoyed it. It's silly though.
>>66472147
I FORGOT ANTONIO BANDERAS IS A BLANK SLATE AND NOT SOME GUY WHO'S SPENT THIRTY ODD YEARS LEARNING AND STUDYING HIS ONE LANGUAGE THOUGH, LITERALLY LEARNING THE INS AND OUTS OF ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN A WEEK
How fucking retarded are you? Honestly?
>>66471213
for an adaption of an adaption it was pretty good
>>66472213
Maybe his character was just smarter than you.
Have you considered that this is why you're projecting your stupidity left and right?
>>66471213
>I can't into pulp because it strains my brittle imagination
>>66472417
>Maybe his character was just smarter than you.
Or maybe it was an unrealistic plot contrivance to get the story moving along?
>Written by Michael Crichton
Yep
>>66471213
Mudslime fights Neanderthal Berserkers in the 9th century and it's his ease of learning a language you have a problem?
>>66472106
It's not that bad. I like the soundtrack.
>Neanderthals who believe they are bears and live below ground
>use domesticated horses and stirrups
I like this movie but come on
>>66472527
I learned spanish in a month.
Fite me faggot.
>an arab learns old norse in a week by merely listening to durnken vikings
>meanwhile in Vikings Anglo-Saxons need a translator to understand Danes
I liked how this was averted in Last Kingdom, for the Old English and Old Norse were mutually intelligible
>>66472694
>Neanderthals
>>66472707
and Banderas learns Germanic niggerspeak in two days. Without practicing, writing, reading, etc. Just... listening.
Fucking retarded lol
>>66472694
Apparently him learning Norse in a week breaks the realism of that premise.
>>66472147
children learn language differently than grown adults, you humongous retard
>>66472746
>an arab learns old norse in a week
Does it take less than a week to travel from the Black Sea to Scandinavia on horseback?
>>66472814
They don't.
Most adults just stop listening to others and start obsessing over the sound of their own voice.
>>66472772
Not if he has autism.
>>66472893
*tips fedora* you are so right my sir.
>>66472746
>Anglo-Saxons need a translator to understand Danes
Except for, you know, the translator who learns it by listening.
>hating The 13th Warrior
Just when I thought this board couldn't get any shittier. Enjoy never entering Valhalla, faggots.
He was a poet
>>66472893
children learn language because their brain is designed to identify the sounds
adults learn new languages by comparing it to their original language

you are a fucking moron
>>66472923
>>66472925
>damage control
>>66472977
It's not a bad movie but it's overrated to fuck by a lot of idiots who mistake badass masculinity with good storytelling. Master & Commander this ain't.
>>66472996
You are a fucking moron.
You don't have to do learn by using a fucking phrasebook. That's the whole point.
He fucking listens to the language, how it is used and in reference to what and learns that way.
Anyone can do that.
It's called inference and extrapolation, you dense cunt.
>>66472996
>au
I should have known.
Come on it's just a narrative trick... Nothing wrong with that in the movie.
>>66473098
>i know more than biology and scientific studies
kill yourself, retard
>>66473098
>how it is used and in reference to what
It's hard to know what they are referencing when he has LITERALLY NO CONTEXT.Are they holding up pictures while they are speaking to each other? No, dumbshit, they are not.
>>66473147
>general google search with no specific articles cited
Yeah, cool lack of supporting evidence for your claims, bro.
>>66472182
>Warrior
Ibn Fadlan was a fucking poet that had never held a sword in his life.
He got sent north to die because he fucked another man's wife.
>>66473161
Jesus christ you must be fucking dense.
Have you ever fucking ventured outside of your mother's basement?
People of different cultures can interact with each other without knowing eachother's languages or carrying a fucking picture book with them.
>>66471213
/tv/ made me think that movie was an underrated gem, it's not.
i'd rather re-watch braveheart for the millionth time to be honest. i love banderas, but what a gloomy, depressing movie.
>>66473261
Yes, people can. People in a foreign country can ask for directions and gesture wildly til the blank native face registers some form of recognition. What people CAN'T do is sit around by a fire listening to people tell jokes with no understanding whatsoever of what joke they are telling and after literally two days understand perfectly enough to retort with a well-crafted witticism IN THEIR LANGUAGE
>>66472527
This was loosely based off eaters of the dead, which was loosely based off Beuwulf. But each one was an entirely different story
>>66472147
>Reading comes after.
Of coursh! Now is not the time for reading.
>>66473318
Except he had far more than two days to listen to and watch them communicate.
Stop strawmanning.
>>66472822
Exactly. I thought the language learning montage represented a couple of months at least..
I think it's a good scene that shows what it's like as you pick up a new language. First you can just pick up the odd word, then you start to hear phrases and recognise certain patterns.
>>66472893
you are a blight on humanity. Learn basic science
>>66473450
>basic science
You first, you retarded cunt.
>>66473414
He had a week at most.
>>66473518
>A week to ride from the middle east to scandinavia
'no'
Especially not back then.
Not to mention the time he spent with them after.
>>66471213
just try to enjoy a movie for what it is man
