Henchwomen Fight

In 1984 movie Conan the Destroyer. Actress Sarah Douglas plays as villainess Queen Taramis. We are entering the AI era, the AI art and AI way of thinking, nothing you can do about it, neither you should do nothing about it, a contradictory, and it makes sense..

People moving away from movies to other means of entertainment is like a festival that last for thousands of years that just stopped, that's why for me, watching what I already enjoyed, have some fun and that's it..

It must have been insane to watch this movie in 1984 with this music..

What makes a star a star isn't much about the number of movies they made as much how many quality movies they made, like, they can play a hero or a villain, and the movie they are in still holding a recognition, uniqueness and a high entertaining quality, this apply on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gerard Butler, at least till the past ten years, because I don't remember any movie they made in the past ten years, but overall, what made them stars, is this, Gerard Butler making a romcom, it must be a good romcom, if he's making action movie, if Gerard Butler in it, it must be good, you know if you went to watch any movie with any of them, you know that you will watch it from start to finish, I can't tell anyone today, if they watch any actor or director movie, they would get a certain quality, and that any movie being made today can be a waste of precious hours of your time, that's why Youtubers started to being the stars now in movie business, because those who watch them, are aware of the quality they providing, and trust them if they made a movie, it will meet a certain quality and expectations..

This movie is so dumb, I miss these movies, you don't get dumb shit nowadays, because I'm the last dumb person left in the entire world and everyone else became hypersmart!!

WOW, we see Queen Taramis around 7 minutes..

Wait a minute, this movie is eerie similar to ancient Arabic story, the story of Antarah ibn Shaddad, it was even made a movie in 1961!!

It seems that Taramis is also a version of Disney's evil queen..

Watching this movie, I fail for find someone anything as beautiful as the evil queen..

19 minutes in and yeah, this story is absolutely influenced by the story of Antarah ibn Shaddad, that's why Hollywood don't make stories like these anymore, as I said, modern Hollywood, with their dark ages Christianity is far worse than reformed Christianity that used to exist in the 80s and 90s.. 

This movie wouldn't work if not for Arnold's muscles LOL, his muscles basically take your attention from anything else, that's nothing you can just replace with AI..

Watching the fight around 40 minutes, and there are so many jokes I want to make, I miss when they used to make comedy, that would be a hilarious comedic scene if done right, this scene need the people who made movies like Meet The Spartans to parody it..

Just because I enjoy 80s and 90s movies, it doesn't mean they are perfect in anyway, especially when I think the character is built on a villainous character, like the character of Conan..

What makes Antarah a better character than Conan, for me, someone who are into villainous character, not the mainstream, is Antarah was driven by very selfish and individualistic motives, yeah, he freed himself, but that was the easy part, the hard part is being a nobility, and marry the woman he loved as such.

In this movie, Conan was tasked to get a jewel, but they had to moralize it, he can't just fight and get the jewel out of his selfish motives, so they made the guardian of the jewel to take the heroine, who I didn't bother remembering her name, so Conan's acts became justified morally..

What made Antarah one of the greatest characters and he was also an artist, is that his acts were entirely selfish, very individualistic and pragmatic, you can see this in his poems like this one:

"My horse is a guide to death,

Waded through its dust.

My sword is a physician in battle,

Healing the head of whoever complained of a headache.

I am the slave about whom you were told,

And now you have seen me.

With my sword I have filled the earth with dread,

And my enemies found no escape from it.

When heroes fled in fear of my might,

Lands shrank to an arm's length."

 He's basically saying that his horse bring death whenever it goes, and his sword is like a doctor, if you suffer headache, it cures it, there's no headache without head, only the "ache" left LOL, he also talk when the courageous heroes end up fleeing from him out of fear, he describe the land as if it shrank, and became too small for them to hide anywhere, which a very poetic way to say my hours is very fast that it will get them before they go far, but he uses the fictional aspect of it to make as if they land itself shrank or as if he got superpowers like Magneto for example to get them back to his feet.. 

That's why the character of Antarah and Antarah as artist was one the greatest of all time, an artist that was able to be popular from the far extreme to the far extreme and everything in between, so yeah, as usual, Hollywood take a great story and always make it worse..

Does it mean I don't enjoy the movie? No, I actually do, I just wouldn't watch it if not for the evil queen..

1 hour in, I love the sets in this movie, it looks great after all these years, that's why practical effects always one, you do the same with CGI, and it expire and be outdated in 5 years, while this movie will be watched 10 years from now, and people would still enjoy it..

The villains around 1 hour 11 minutes, look like a heavy metal band LOL, we really need bands like these tho.

Finally we see our evil queen around 1 hour 22 minutes, if I told you that I would choose anyone in this movie over her, I would be lying..

We see a waterfall afterwards, and it looks amazing, I don't know, should we accept that movies should be empty of such beautiful scenes like these and replace it with AI? I'm seeing a beautiful scene from more than 40 years ago..

Now, Queen Taramis is preparing the heroine to be sacrificed, and Conan is going to save her, the whole idea the movie started with, which was bringing his wife back to life, the whole reason of his quest, is gone, now we should care about the heroine, just because..

The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 27 minutes..

The monster with practical effects looks awesome, and the movie overall was dumb and fun..
