This poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe titled Welcome and Farewell has a strong Sword and Sorcery feel to it...
Translation:
My heart beats, at once to horse...
It was done as quickly as it was thought...
The evening already cradles the earth....
And on the mountains hangs the night...
The Oaktree stands already in its clothing of mist...
A towering giant there...
Where darkeness out of the bushes...
Looks on with one-hundred black eyes.
What is Sword Cinema? Sword Cinema is a genre of movies based on the majesty and wonderment of swords and the ancient art of swordsmanship. Sword Cinema traverses genre boundaries, covering everything from classic Sword & Sorcery, such as Conan the Barbarian (1982), to Samurai Films like Kurosawa's internationally acclaimed Seven Samurai (1954). These are the kinds of movies that make you want to take up your broadsword and charge right into battle!
