Watched this yesterday. They whacked Karin on the head with a branch, I thought to knock her out, but they say later this was her being "beaten to death." Then at the end the father throws the little boy across the room. I expected the family might adopt him, but no, he's never seen again and presumably dead too. He couldn't take one rough landing?
shareMaybe they had brittle bones or something.

He kept him lying in the fire also.
You guys could all go to medical school and find out for sure.

A girl was hit with a thick branch, with full power, by a strong adult man, straight in the head. It CAN cause death, but please don't try.
The boy was actually adopted in the original 14th century song, but here a small boy is thrown by a strong adult man, with full power (again, yes) through the air a couple of meters before he hit the stone wall. Maybe he hit it with his head, maybe he broke his spine. But he did die, yes.
All of that is possible. Anyway much more than many other things from modern, not SF or fantasy movies.
Yep they could have died from those things, although it's maybe not very likely. Movies from this time period generally didn't have graphic gore and violence either. Even war films were pretty tame compared to more modern stuff.
New movies have gone completely the opposite way now. Action heroes get shot, stabbed, and severely beaten on a regular basis and just shrug it off like it was nothing. As you say that's a lot less realistic than this film.
Exactly, but I think it's because modern movie audience (mainly young people, though I'm young too) thinks that movie is as good as much action, or better - blood and violence, there is in it. That's all they want to see, and more and more of it, while they consider all the other aspects of the movie, simply as a back-up to it, and practically irrelevant.
