Customer Reviews

That which does not kill us makes us stronger – Friedrich Nietzsche.

WIZARD: “Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of and unto this, Conan, destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.” Conan had his tribe and especially his family dispatched by the evil Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones). He is sold into slavery, learns the ways of the world, and starts to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, with the help of his sometimes God “Crom” and the enigma of steel, he is ready for revenge. We get to go along for the ride. I had to watch this (1982) movie again now that it has had the Blu-ray treatment, including a commentary by Director John Milius and Arnold Schwarzenegger, which gives a good insight as to the purpose and creativity of the film. I was surprised to find out how much of the movie I had forgotten over the years. Now it is retrospective. Remember what was said in Alice, “Anything with a head can be beheaded.” One should contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.
