Exactly how, specifically, is Beowulf anti-Christian?
The original story is not. The new computer graphics film is. Christians are shown to be weak, hypocritical. The character voiced by John Malkovich beats his slave for all the audience to see. That doesn’t change at all when the same character becomes a Christian with a cross prominently on his chest. He is apparently a bishop or a priest.
I loved the original tale and collect editions of the book. I had to learn how to read Old English in graduate school (almost entirely forgotten now!). I was looking forward to the film. I saw the 2005 film and found it tolerable, but not nearly what Beowulf could be on film. This new film was well made, well “drawn”, but the anti-Christian element was a surprise (it is completely against the original and completely unnecessary too).
