Obviously there were things I wish had been included again namely respect and reverence for mental illness because obviously looking back now all of them suffered from something.īut I get that this isn't some Public Service Announcement movie and here is when it comes to the important part that will not ruin it for anybody:Īfter watching, my companion turned to me and said "Wow that was totally a movie narrated by Euronymous and from his entire point of view" Him and all the finance powers-that-be are going to want a movie that anyone can watch on-demand and pretty much I think even a bored housewife could sit down and stream this movie without having to know anything about black metal.
So I had to step outside of my biographical thoughts and think of this as a movie by Jonas Åkerlund. There wasn't so much of the bullying by Euronymous. It's fairly well documented that Øystein Aarseth badgered Dead constantly instead of just kicking him out of the house. I tried to go in with an open mind especially when so many people have issues with how he and Dead fought. Okay I saw it last night and felt like I was going to have a huge problem with so many things namely not showing what a huge dick Euronymous really was in real life. Nothing I say will spoil any part of the film.
Scenes that we didn't exactly need: every scene involving Sky Ferreira, Inner Circle eating kebabs and drinking beer, Varg fucking girls In my opinion it should have featured the aftermath of Euronymous's death (the black metal guys armed themselves because there was a feud between Fin/Swe and Norway's metal bands Varg also said that Fenriz once left the house with an axe in fear), the recording of the Deathcrush EP and maybe flash forward to 2016: Mayhem playing live and worldwide. Sky Ferreira was kind of unnecessary, both for the storyline and cause she's not that good actress. The Mayhem guys did a good portrayal, although Messiah and Maniac weren't shown and Necrobutcher looked too much like the guys's father. However the scene at Grieghallen studios should have featured a "back office" band playing live Funeral Fog rather than having the original playing, which made Attila look like he was about to puke.įaust was amazingly portrayed and Occultus (hail Satan guy) was definitely unnecessary (he also played for Mayhem after Dead died, but it isn't told in LoC). The interview with the journalist is exactly as I expected it to be, with Varg wanting to appear pure evil but ending up as an edgy kid (just like the real one).īlackthorn (specifically, Varg's roommate/servant) should have had more recognition instead of being represented as a stoned nerd after all he contributed to evolve Euronymous's way of playing guitar (if you're new to black metal check Thorns Grymyrk demo).Īttila's presence was pretty cool, considering he's played by his son. Was he really vegetarian at that time? Plus, I don't think he was fucking every moving thing. I didn't exactly like Emory Cohen's portrayal of Varg (chubbiness and evilish voice). I read somewhere Akerlund got police reports that said his hair was short at the time, but still I don't think it was necessary. I really liked it, although as every movie, it has its no's.įirst of all I'm still not getting over the fact that they cut Euronymous's hair before Varg kills him.
