- "How did you learn our language?!"
- "I Listened!"

I love the new Overture and ending outro. The monochrome look to them, and the way the Zfarn edited it with the on-screen text and faux manuscript information is better than the original to me. I love how it flows with the music. The original can be a little confusing at the beginning for the casual observer, and it still is, but this new way is far better than the original's intro and ending, informatively and aesthetically. And, they don't really make movies like this anymore either do they...

Legend and this have similar aesthetics, though one takes place in the real world and one in fantasy. Zfarn has a vibe going on about them and their edits and I dig it. Both films feel otherworldly. They both have forest locales, beautiful landscapes, horses, and evil lurking amidst all that beauty.

Zfarn did a fantastic job of trimming and making all the cuts seamless while not taking away from the overall story, and leaving as much runtime as possible. Bravo, really. The intro and outro lend so well to the overall aesthetic. The end credits look great too. The film has a Biblical feel to it, and I know it has connections to the story Beowulf.

Zfarn is one of the best editors I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I highly recommend this to all fans of fanediting, and those who enjoy good understated films.
