Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Accusations and admissions of adulteries and fornications, sodomy and bestiality are tossed around this family like a tennis balls--sometimes flung at each other. These concern a wife sleeping with her husband's father, a son seducing an enemy prince, and a husband sleeping with various sorts of women, boys, and a sheep.

We see a husband washing his face as his paramour awakens. He plans to marry her off to one of his sons even if he has to force her to do it.

A woman talks of riding bare-breasted among men and adorning her nipples with jewelry.

Violence & Gore

There is a battle scene with horses and swords on a shore. Men fall, sometimes in the water. Some of these presumably are dead.

There are scenes of sparring and a jousting match.

A woman cuts her wrist and draws blood.

There is a fight with knife and sword ending in death. Perhaps there is blood, but the set is lit only by torches.

There are several threats with knives and swords.

Profanity

The language is never coarser than "damn." However, it gets much worse with the use of Christ's name in vain. These and a few other choice words are sprinkled throughout the movie.

There are scenes of mulling and drinking wine. Brandy is also drunk in a couple of scenes.
