2. Have you heard of the movie...

"The Ash Lad: In the Hall of the Mountain King"? Just watched it on YT very recently (as in, in the past few days)... Interesting. I don't remember anymore if I found it while trying to look for a video of Peer Gynt (music), or if I found the movie first and remembered the music (because it had "in the hall of the mountain king" in its title) and that's why I've been listening to the music lately... I don't remember because... I suppose it's one of those going down rabbit hole things... Anyway, interesting movie. It's a Norwegian film, I guess, but the one I watched on YT was dubbed in English. The start was very interesting to me because it was in the style of the start of LOTR (narration, and a fantasy story). Then I got a bit confused, lol! And there was a danger of losing my interest for a while. Ahahaha! Mostly because some minor things were weird to me (or maybe it was just a translation thing...). Also, I didn't quite understand why some characters were treating this one guy like a child, or why he was acting like a child, when he didn't look like a child at all. Anyway, as the story picked up, I kind of gathered that his character was probably meant to be childish in some way. And as the story went, it became more interesting. Not perfect, but the story and movie was fine. And now, I'm quite interested in Norwegian folklore, Asbjornsen and Moe, Peer Gynt (play and music), etc., etc. (Rabbit holes, I tell you.) And apparently, there is a sequel to this movie. I might go look for that. Have you heard of it or seen it? I'll probably add a link to the YT video below...
