In civil war-ravaged Norway, the King, aided by rebel group the Birch Legs, fights for survival against the Church's Bishopsmen, who seek to supplant the throne. On his deathbed after falling ill, the King soon welcomes a son, born in secrecy, as half the Kingdom wants him dead.

Birkebeinerne: an instructive Norwegian Tale.

I watched it out of curiosity because I never heard the term 'Birkerbeiner' before (the beautiful tale of Håkon Håkonsson hasn't reached the bulk of ignorant Mediterranean men yet) and I am more than happy to have done it.

It wasn't really a memorable film, however: many scenes lacked realism and the plot was oversimplified, on my humble opinion. Which was something I didn't expect given the huge talent of Scandinavian screenwriters (e.g. Anders Thomas Jensen or Kim Fupz Aakeson, just to quote two of my favorites...).

In any case it was instructive and I'm sure that many people from all around the world will enjoy the story and recognize many actors such as Kristofer Hivju (from 'Game of Thrones'), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (from 'Child 44'), Thorbjørn Harr (from 'Vikings') or Pål Sverre Hagen, (from 'Kon Tiki') who I'm sure are by now familiar faces to international audiences.

Good movie

I know absolutely nothing about Norway's history, so I'm unable to judge this for its accuracy. But it was a very enjoyable film to watch. A good mix of action, drama, a beautiful scenery. It's worth the time to invest.

Regular, production good...

I love films in the snow, mediable films are usually beautiful, and well produced, but they rarely attract me, the cold images must freeze my heart, there are few scenes that really interest me, uninteresting story and beat, betrayals, struggles for kingdoms, battles throne, unattractive, but the scenes with the baby stole my heart... The third and last act was the most significant, regular movie...

Very Entertaining! Stays true to history, with a few minor changes

As I am a huge fan of my country's history, this film was right up my alley. All the historical elements of the film are excellently portrayed. A few historical facts were changed a little, but not so much that it ruins the film. The changes work. The more fictional parts of the film are also very good.

The acting is also very nice. Main actors Kristofer Hivju and Jakob Oftebro have a lot of good chemistry and work well off each other. The other actors do a good job too.

The cinematography is wonderful. Beautiful shots of the Norwegian wilderness make this a spectacular viewing experience.

All in all, this film is excellent!

Longest ski chase in the history of cinema

Anyone who likes medieval action movie or historical re-enactment will enjoy this film. It's not a memorable film unfortunately. Sure there's dynamic double axe battles, Nordic landscapes to admire and history but it lacks that special touch masterpieces have.

Two men carry and protect the baby son of the dead king of Norwegia across the mountains from Lilhammer. They are Norwegian Ski Infantry (Birkebeiner).The Church wants this baby dead in order to take control of the other half of the country. Inspired by true events, these heroic stories changed Norwegian history forever.

Modern Birkebeiner racers also re-enact the famous ski tour, this time around going in the opposite direction. They are all required to bear a backpack weighing at least 3.5 kilos, meant to represent the pack containing the royal infant.

Curiosidades
Three languages are spoken in the film. The Birkebeiner speak Norwegian, the Baglers speak Danish, and Queen Margrete speaks Swedish. This is actually an anachronism as the Nordic languages had not split into completely different languages at the time and the characters would have spoken more or less the same language, albeit with heavy accents.

Erros de gravação
The Norwegian coat of arms (a golden lion wearing a crown and holding an axe) appears throughout the movie, which takes place in and around 1204. However, the coat of arms did not exist in this form until approximately 1280.

Citações
Orm: There is a boy... of royal blood. Where is he hidden?
Skjervald: I don't know what you're talking about.
Orm: Do you care so little for your family, that you would sacrifice their lives... for a dead king?

Quote at end of credits: "The difference between a novelist and a historian is this: that the former tells lies deliberately and for the fun of it; the historian tells lies and imagines he is telling the truth"
