    • @Sigmar_Heldenhammer
      @Sigmar_Heldenhammer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +73

      Ipro Fox None, that is the riddle of steel, that is what doom could never find. Steel will soon rust and a blade used often in battle will dent. The flesh grows weaker with age and soon dies with it. Yet it is the will to live, overcome, and prevail that drives man to ultimate victory. mind you that this whole movie is essentially trying to find the answer to the riddle of steel, that’s why thusla’s riders attacked Conan’s village they were trying to find the answer. If one translates the words in this song they say they seek savage blades, inferring they believe the answer to be steel. Same as Conan’s father in the beginning when telling Conan not to trust man or beast. He then holds up the sword and says “this you can trust”. Thusly later before sending Conan to the tree of woe would show Conan that he thought the answer was flesh saying some thing like “what is the sword to the hand that wields it?” Yet though out this movie we see that it is Conan’s will to avenge his father ( and later that women ) that continues to drive him forward and in the end, against all odds, succeed. Holy shit I should turn this in to my English teacher.

      Like the movie, it takes it pace and builds up majestically.

    Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your God, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered... And the Earth shook! Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the Gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men... Not Gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - NO ONE in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts... This you can trust!

    Conan, Robocop, Hunt for the red October, Starship Troopers... Nah, not a single nomination! Much like another master, the director Sergio Leone, never got a single FUCKING nomination either. But pure shit like Chicago got what, 6-7 oscars, and was nominated for even more?

    Hands down, the greatest movie soundtrack in movie history. Of course comments like that are subjective, but this music for some is beyond a masterpiece, it moves you in a way that feels ethereal and it’s not a hyperbole. This soundtrack is something that was composed in some kind of surreal magical realm of existence. As a kid growing up in the 80s and this movie being a top 5 ever, I remember buying the soundtrack tape at a popular music store with friends and I was so incredibly overjoyed while my friends made fun of me. And all I could think was how in the dark they were, but there was something so wonderful they would eventually discover for themselves as they evolved. This piece of music has only gotten better with time, sometimes I let it go a while before listening to it when I get the kick and it’s like some kind of extacy drug. It really is. This music is like a drug. I can’t even explain how powerful it is.

    Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky, but Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the earth.

Crom was angered, and the earth shook, and fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel, and left it on the battlefield. We, who found it, we are just men: not gods, not giants, just men. And the secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan, you must learn its discipline !!! For no one, no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts... This you can trust !!!

I'd wager a guess that if it were associated with more conventionally popular movies like LOTR and/or/ GoT that it would be celebrated as a magnificent score. But I think, ironically, that's the point behind Conan. It's like Conan says: "Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!" Stride steadfast towards your goals. Don't let anyone put you down.
