While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
大概就是想拍史诗但总觉得哪里不够连贯，北欧神话也好，王子复仇也好，都不是那么陌生的内容，却依然感受不到景物之外的震撼，可能问题在于拍摄人物的方式，很努力是有啦，效果不够好
哦我对这冗长的神神叨叨的史诗叙事风格的异域的王子复仇记真的提不起什么兴趣来。打来打去就那个村子几十号人。
（5.3/10）比起《女巫》和《灯塔》，《北欧人》始终缺乏神秘与危险。艾格斯对《王子复仇记》的改编有一丝现代的感觉，但大部分时间都在按部就班。男性主导的故事中，女性角色的戏份有所增加，其形象却并不丰满。即使连艾格斯最拿手的神话传说元素，都显得格外生硬，可有可无。
穷山恶水不仅出刁民，也出摄影大片。这种荒凉的地方，确实对摄影非常友好。
制作精良，拍摄认真极了，演员也贼卖力，就是不打动人。
噱头大过内容；除了那个乱伦禁忌的吻，真的没啥惹人注目的了
本片如同一部徘徊在戏剧舞台与影像诗之间的3A游戏CG，这一点尤其是体现在接受巫师的预言击败亡灵夺得黑死剑的部分
5分吧，多一星给梁朝伟~一个可怜的空巢老人因为儿女常年在外太过寂寞思念亡妻而被电信诈骗的故事~
其实就是又用北欧+神话，把哈姆雷特的故事放回北欧再讲了一遍吧？我没想到，拯救好莱坞电影，不仅靠少数族裔，而且还能靠B级片啊！非常强烈的B级片观感！男主角的行为都好邪恶啊！当然邪恶不过他妈妈呢，他妈妈根本没当他是自己的亲儿子，莫名磕到了妈妈和叔叔还有弟弟这一家三口了！叔叔最后好有魅力，最后才知道男主爸爸是伊桑霍克演的？这个角色安排就打动不了妮可基德曼，确实让人有点不知所措呢，伊桑霍克在我这儿没有理由用强呢？！哈姆雷特老了之后，就演了哈姆雷特的爸爸，演员啊！都得给大器晚成的看起来的年轻演员让路呢！妮可基德曼演完海王妈，又演哈姆雷特妈，简直国王妈妈专业户呢！看出来力捧安雅了，这个角色是逃出生天的奥菲利亚吧？三场nude，除了第一场，其他都是露了也没露的典范！居然还有比约克的客串，演女巫太合适了！
北欧王子复仇记，强烈粗犷原始的风格值得好评，但太冗长了些。
内容平平淡淡，环境服装道具算好看，说白了就是视觉向长视频。
从暗处诞生的语言，见到光和火山扭曲成根正苗红的矮树
北欧的色调风格很到位，历史文化也还原的不错，剧情就是原版的王子复仇记。但是，重点来了但是这片子没有史诗感，如果看过导演的成名作《女巫》，明显能感觉冰岛的戏在各方面都跟女巫如出一辙，就是乡下闭塞农村那模样，跟前段时间看的《牧羊人》一个味，男主叔叔正好绰号也叫‘牧羊人’。在经历过开头的神话铺垫加上维京海盗的屠村掠夺戏，观众还能对一个大概就20人出头的冰岛破村村斗感兴趣吗？除了寥寥无几的几场打斗戏外，大量的舞台剧台词，各种诗意的对话，割裂了电影感。这种类型电影在大银幕上看的话，估计下边能睡着一大片，在家里慢慢看或许还能品品台词的韵味。本来不想说的，永远get不到安雅的美，者已经是我看的第三部她当女主的电影，对我来说她长的真的好奇怪。
你以为把H换了个顺序我就不认识你了？？？视听还不错但这个故事线也太粗劣的照搬平铺直叙了吧……
还记得第一次看《天机·富春山居图》的感动吗？不记得也没关系，尚气会帮你重温那种天雷滚滚的感觉。
神话 预言 命运
地狱里又多了桩桩件件的冤魂！铁人三项拉练拯救不了肤浅的哈姆雷特。哈姆雷特曾经是我学习外国文学时期最喜欢的文本之一，本片作为年度期待，和挪威本土文化融合的方式却仅限于浮光掠影：用了文字和音乐，却不肯妥协最重要的语言；想表达反抗和叛离，又亲手将男主堕为弑母弑童的复仇机器。导演还是比较适合去拍冰岛风光大MV，景别切得挺带劲，配乐也不错的。
一开篇10分钟都是标普我是没想到的 还有种真三国无双的即视感 然后港普+标普+台普占了总台词50%吧 厉害了！明明很舒服的普通话 被豆瓣网友说尴尬？这是多么民族自卑？我是觉得他们很厉害 普通话比我的煲冬瓜好太多 特别是陈法拉！梁朝伟原来这么帅的吗 笔挺的身躯体态秒杀国内一大堆年轻人 这么爱老婆 为她放弃权力力量永生的男人怎么会是反派？所以尚气才是反派是吗？懵了哈哈哈哈 元华叔叔依然硬朗 啊 经典武大场景 巴士+脚手架，中国元素 神兽太极寺庙烧香竹林桃花源，还有漫威武打动作天花板（对比洛基doge） 比预期好太多 漫威对文化多元的转播还是很得力的 各色人种（包括紫色doge）的英雄上演着正义/邪恶的阴阳平衡/互换交锋 不能不爱啊
这片子吧拍的是挺好的，适合在手机收不到信号的电影院里才能比较投入的看下来，意思就是内容真的很无趣。就有一种生错时代的感觉，就好比人人都知道哈姆雷特讲啥，但现如今有多少人完整的看过哈姆雷特。
20220516 几个字的剧本还能拍出花，主角为了报仇，隐忍多年，找到仇家，伪装自己，先下副本拿神兵，慢慢收割，杀人诛心的故事！大小谎言的夫妻这次变母子。。。
