Showing tonight on BBC2
This film is being shown tonight (29/12/05) on BBC2 television under it's English name "Otherworld".
Oh my god, i was making a snack in the kitchen and i didn't like the movie the rest of the family was watching so i turned on the TV and saw this. At first i had no idea what was happening, why everything was so blunt and so random and sick too...then a half hour later (don't know why i was still watching it) i STILL had no idea what was going on. It was so sick and vile, and to top that it was so badly drawn, looked as if a drunk animated it and at times when it switches to real-life actors, i couldn't help but laugh at how queer and cheesy it was. The actors can't be called actors as they have absolutely no talent what so ever. The only thing that kept me watching was the fact i could find out the name of the programe and laugh at it's very poor rating when i would search it on the net...Overall, this story has no real emotion in it as it at times very queer and makes the seriousness that it tries to be, very hard to maintain.
And the music was bad aswell...
What can i say, there was nothing, and i mean nothing i liked about it..except for that guys hairdo, who turned the slag (don't know any of the names!) into an owl...
Hey Nadia. Have you read the Mabinogion?
shareNo, your saying it's actually a novel?
shareYour comments made me laugh as it's exactly what I thought. In fact I'm still confused now...all that giant head business...the stories were so random!
They are a collection of medieval welsh stories.
Oh yea, the mahusive head thing. Honestly, i thought a huge man that can change it's size was wierd enough. But then they cut his head off and it was 10x the size of a normal person, then his head starts talkin..WTF? I nearly chocked on my drink. And don't get me started on that stick thing..You know when that lady says she's a virgin but when she steps over it...she gets pregnant in a second and delivers the baby...WTF?!?!?! Its so screwed up.
shareWhat do you expect? It's Mythology where there are Wizards, and Magic. Gwydion's a wizard, he enchanted the stick, Arianrhod stepped over it, and because she lied, she had the children prematurely. Gwydion raised the second-unknown child as his own, he was named Lleu, Gwydion then created Blodeuwedd (the "slag") from flowers, she had no concience, betrayed her husband, tried to kill him and that was her punishement to be hated among all birds. Everything's tied in together
