Obviously Henry is ridiculously good-looking. But more impressive is his dedication to his craft, his perfectionism that has resulted in his awesome incarnation of Geralt.

The storylines are much worse than in the books though. The showrunners streamlined them quite a bit, made characters and their arcs less interesting, removed some of the morality nuances, altered plot points in a way that made little sense... Otherwise it could have been pretty great indeed. Cavill is top-notch in the role as you said.

Yeah, you often don't think of how scenes like this require absolute perfection from everyone, both in front of the camera & behind it. They did a phenomenal job on bringing how he became The Butcher of Blaviken to life. Too bad he just quit as Geralt though due to Netflix not respecting Sapkowski's work, he said a while ago that he'd stay on as Geralt as long as they honored the author & his work by staying accurate to the books. It seems they didn't stand up to their end of the bargain.

Actually, the choreography isn't that good. In the beginning Geralt is using reverse grip, which is not something a real swordsman would do, unless he's ambushed. Then Renfri is constantly spinning, which leaves her open for the strike like half of the time. Yeah, sure, Geralt doesn't want to kill her, but her fighting style kinda begs for the question - how did she manage to survive till this moment? But it looks cool, and operator's work is really great.

The first episode, to me, was just the best in terms of storyline, how engaging it was, and how it was directed. This scene was done so masterfully, I remember being shocked when I watched it. And now watching Henry break it down further, it’s even more impressive. The stunt work and camera work. Wow. Thank you Henry for being so technical with your explanation!

@Sampiro Locke Most of the really good fight scenes in TV and film are terrible depictions of martial arts though... And that's fine! No one's gonna come study sword fighting from Henry Cavill, but the scene does a great job setting a thrilling pace for the audience, convey the characters' emotions and telling a story throughout. That's what it ought to do

@lelinha8074 4 жыл бұрын

Sampiro Locke we have to take into account that while skill is something very important to depict in scenes like this one, it is still a fight built for the sole purpose of entertainment. Not saying I don’t agree with you as I myself don’t know much about martial arts, but the creators of the show most likely cared more for the visual appeal of the shot rather than how accurate it was to the skill level they attempted to portray.

I've watched the series now at least 6 times and these two particular sword fight scenes are absolutely mesmerizing to watch. The fact that the first one where Gerault is fighting the gang is done in a single shot is spectacularly incredible, the amount of pinpoint timing required by so many people, including the cameraman is exquisite and seemingly flawless. The second sword fight with Renfri really does look like an intricately detailed dance, the moves between them are this whirling, spiraling dance of swords and death. I love hearing about the backstory behind scenes and this one by Henry does not disappoint! It's always worth the repeat viewing of this series. I am so looking forward to another, and many more seasons.

I felt their chemistry more than I felt it between Yen and him. And the way it was written he carried the memory of Renfri with him throughout the rest of the season where he doesn't with Yen.
