Original Story from the Celtic Gods point of view
I ran across this Episode I on YouTube and found it original and unique. I had never seen a Celtic historical mythological movie before in which the Celtic Druid Gods actually spoke. I think they have a real possibility of finding a place between mythological series with dragons, such as Game of Thrones, and more rigid historical series like Vikings. The period accurate broken dialogue took a bit of getting used to, but I found myself thinking between the lines of what they were thinking and meaning to convey. I'd rather have broken Celtic dialogue than smooth soap opera dialogue.
The acting is top notch. I found the fresh faces immensely entertaining, as I get tired of seeing the same faces in the bigger budget movies ad infinitum. These are talents that we will surely see more of in movies. It's very hard portraying Celtic Gods who have lost much of their powers and are what seems, almost mortals again. Very challenging tough roles and all of these actors carried it well.
Sure if you're looking for a large budget historical movie series, just change the channel. This film series is very small now, but could quickly grow into an epic production because it has a unique voice. It's very well written, raising key points of their time under Roman Empire occupation, as we face today in our countries. The writing is both eternal and current.
I loved the weird blue Celtic Druid designs on their faces and hands. Almost like the Celtic Gods were crying streams of blue tears.
It's a fantastic experience.
