Beowulf

Beowulf is a 2007 epic fantasy film that retells the classic tale of a 6th-century Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, portrayed by Ray Winstone. The story follows Beowulf as he embarks on a perilous quest to defeat Grendel, a monstrous creature terrorizing the kingdom. Alongside this fierce warrior stands Angelina Jolie as Grendel's Mother, a mysterious and formidable antagonist. The film blends action and myth, exploring themes of heroism, legacy, and the consequences of pride.

Trivia:

2. Angelina Jolie not only lent her voice and movements to Grendel's Mother but also contributed to the character's fierce and seductive demeanor, which was a departure from traditional portrayals of this mythical figure.
3. Beowulf's dual roles—as Beowulf, the hero, and the Dragon later in the story—were both performed by Ray Winstone, showcasing his versatility and the film's innovative use of technology to bring multiple characters to life.
