It's a timeless classic m8.
What was the riddle of steel, anyway? This movie was very confusing, I didn't get it at all.
>>71047803
Conan's father and his people believed that steel was the strongest
Thulsa Doom believed that flesh was stronger
In the end Conan rejects both teachings in favour of willpower being the strongest
>>71047803
>>71047693
stop with the bait already
>>71047846
Yeah but steel sent Thulsa's fleshy snake head bouncing down those steps so I'd say he still was right.
>>71047896
but Conan would have never gotten there in the first place without his willpower to survive against all odds
>>71047793
ok, so basically it's just a redditty meme flick
Excalibur is better.
>>71047896
What grips the sword and gives it the power to cut through his head though senpai.

oh yeah and I forgot that non-stop overrated pompous soundtrack, trying painfuly and constantly to breathe some life into that boring movie
Krom I have never prayed to you before but now please grant me strenght to smack a bitch that is OP through the screen.
>>71047693
Probably the greatest cinematic achievement in history.
>>71047748
Soundtrack adds so much to the movie it's not even funny.
>Conan is nearly mute
>talkative sidekicks and thespians like Sydow and Jones to deliver actually important bits of dialog
Like poetry, but in a good way before Lucas ruined it for everyone.
OP is a butthurt manlet, like all the serpent men are.
Fucking autistic scaly dwarfs.

>>71047693
That's the most idiotic thread I've read in months.
Go watch a capeshit and next time post in /r/movies.
Conan is great. Conan the Destroyer is fun.
Kull was okay. Saved by Sorbo's charisma and Tia Carrere's everything. I'm glad they changed Conan to Kull though, it would have been a bad Conan sequel. As a stand-alone Kull film, it's fine.

See, this is why no one likes you, because you're so new you get baited by obvious shit like this.

You don't know the meaning of campy if you think it applies to Conan.

I'm not even sorry.
>>71047803
Riddle of steel is the question - what makes the steel in your hands powerfull?
Is it the might of the flesh? Or the technology in the steel? No, it's the will that chooses what to do with it.
Riddle of steel was different in the books though I think.
>>71047803
It's a paradox with no true answer. Steel cuts flesh, but flesh wields steel. The truly powerful man controls both a men's hearts and their arms.
>>71048772
JUST A MAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85j2rb-kyjY
The only thing dated about Conan The Barbarian is that animatronic giant snake he fights.
>>71047846
Close, but not quite. The riddle of steel is, "Which is stronger? The steel, or the hand that wields it?"
Conan discovers the answer is both. They make each other strong. A sword without a man is nothing, and a man without a sword is nothing. But put them together, and you have something.
>>71048846
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VY0AzmGkH8
>>71048850
I think it looks pretty good. It's not the best animatronic I've ever seen, but it's certainly passable.
>>71048805
>>71048872
Truth; neither is strong without the other.
>>71047693
I thought the opposite, actually. The armor fit the setting very well, and there wasn't a lot of flashy shit happening. You only really notice it with the snake transformation/snake animatronic.
>>71048618
>Lucas
What do you mean? George Lucas was involved with the series?
>>71047693
No, we can't. I watched it recently and it's still a blast.
>>71048618
This. The soundtrack plays nearly throughout the movie, it's the central pillar of it.
>>71047693
it always been a bit campy
what kind of high literature do you think its based on?!
>>71048752
Didn't you forget about a little something?Trollface implied.
King Conan/Legend of Conan when?
>>71049709
asap pls
>>71049224
at last some civilized reply and not butthurt triggered faggot fanboys, who think they're so "manly" watching some muscled savage half-naked for two hours... lmao
thank you anon, indeed it's not flashy, and we're far from the cgi faggotry of today, but I found it to be rather... dry... esthetically speaking, even though there are some nice shots here and there of course.
When it's not some flat and boring desert, you have some generic and very fake interior design, it made it quiet kitsch to me, and boring to the eye, like some old "classical" peplum.
>>71048392
fuk u. conan is a gesamtkunstwerk
>>71047693
How does it feel?
To be objectively wrong on all accounts and vocal about it, I mean.
>>71049665
I liked some of it, but not that much. It's not a well done film.
arent you people overrating this movie a bit?
>>71047693
You think you're civilized /tv/
But you will never understand....

No way. I can watch it day after day, the soundtrack is phenomenal, and most of all, no fucking CGI. It's better than any of it's ripoffs.

My wifes son didn't care for it, but her boyfriend enjoyed it. I fell asleep during it because I work 12 hour days.

Doesn't matter if it is dating badly in some areas, once that soundtrack kicks in you get sucked in anyway.
>>71049224
>>71049829
What bugged me about the movie is that Conan's barely wearing any armor when he fights. I hate to get all autistic about that sort of thing but if you go into battle shirtless you're going to get wrecked.
>>71050878
He does it to stay agile and it works most of the time.

>Can we admit that aged badly
No, fuck you. On the contrary. It did not age badly. I enjoy it specifically for its style, setting and music far more than modern parkinson camera CGI crap. The fact that it has so little dialogue is its another advantage. Thanks to this you enjoy the scenes leaving you with some sense of engagement by constructing the world in your own head. If anything Conan the Destroyer is campy, but not Conan.

lol there is far more kino in just two minutes of Excalibur than there is in the two never-ending hours of your LGBT campy fantasy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3cXcS49D64
Conan is an interesting movie in the sense that it is considered a cult classic by many, but often for the wrong reasons, and considered campy schlock by others. Then you can add the people who dislike it based on some (alleged) right wing political message.
For me it is an underrated masterpiece.
>dat music
>dat atmosphere

seriously, that fucking glorious editing.
this scene pretty much sums the movie up for me:

OP that's just evil
>>71050878
True. He did wear armour in the books. And the comics too - until the movie came out, then he was shirtless all the time.
The princesses were almost always generally nekkid in all media though.
>>71051148
seriously, that fucking scene. i often wondered if they designed the music to the already edited scene or if they had the ost running while they put that shit together. either way, its fucking maijestic-

Thanks to the civilized religion, not all women are bikini feminist whores, anon.
>>71051718
For good christians they surely did dabble a lot in magic which is forbidden in all abrahamic religions.
The 'good' king even had a fucking pagan magician in his court for god's sake.

Mate christianity failed people are reverting to barbarism again see the brits on holiday in greece for example.
>>71047693
>actually believes films "age"
It's the same goddamn movie now as when it came out. There are just pleb faggots who watch nothing but modern films and get confused trying to watch older ones so they say it has "aged badly" or call it "dated"
>very campy
and this is a bad thing how? We need more campy adventure and less grimdark bullshit that has taken over since 9/11
>>71051878
well its the whole point of the arthurian legends to pass from paganism to christinianism, and that true european christianism had roots in paganism of course, it wasn't just bland oriental importation
btw you can see and understand that too in the nice tv film Merlin with Sam Neil
>>71052067
I know but saying that the arthur legends are pure christian is wrong that's all I meant.
>>71047693
his sword looks like literal plastic
