How come Grendel's mother had 'built-in' high heels? She did look pretty hot in them though!!!
I can't believe there's not been much mentioned of Angelina Jolie in this board. She looked absolutely stunning - and I'm not a fan normally.
Wheeeeoooowww!!! ;-) I swear, I've never seen a hotter movie character.
shareYeah the built-in high heels were odd... high heels make women's legs look great though, I guess that was the idea.

I think those CGI breasts were a nice touch, pun intended.
Everyone gets everything he wants.
AND...not only does it make the legs look great, its makes the butt stick out more! :) a toofer 1

I have no idea. It wasn't even right for the era.

She sounded magical. I think she was the best thing in the movie, other than the script.
Yes, high heels were a silly anachronism.

--She looked like the Las Vegas chorus girl version of the story!

You are happy to accept demons and dragons, but you can't accept high heels in the 8th century ?
Perhaps high heels are the true "mark of Cain" ?
She was one of the best parts of the movie... She's so enthralling. Normally, I don't go out of my way to compliment her, but she looked gorgeous in this movie, CGI or no.
The high heels kinda made me go o.O but she looked nice in them

chalk the heels up to stylistic license; all the better to seduce in. I'm not complaining!
And, yes, by far the most enthralling incarnation of Angelina ever. I don't have the commercial dvd, so--if it was mentioned in commentaries, etc.--how much of that character was her? At any rate, I hope she's inspired by her look in Beowulf to put on a few pounds and go for a healthier, more robust appearance.
I agree. They did an amazing job with Angelina.
shareIt had to do with her demon feet. In The Making of Beowulf book she has this weird feet which gradually transfrom into more human like feet. The heel is actually a toe which is posed outwards, but because you don't get to see it very well it looks like she's on high heels.
shareI didn't like the high heels at all. Probably the biggest mistake they could have easily avoided.
shareAs others have mentioned, the idea of the heels is a stylistic choice... and not.
The design of Grendel's Dam's feet were intended to look like Angelina was wearing stiletto heels. The design of the creature's feet was such that a back-turned talon would give the impression of a shoe heel, so in the context of anatomy, this gets a pass. In legends as old as Beowulf, the devil and assorted shape-shifting monsters cannot change the appearance of their feet; or rather, their feet will always contain a monstrous quality.
Since the mother is a succubus/siren, it stands to reason that those odd feet would enhance, rather than detract, her sexual mystique (particularly if she is the only woman that Hrothgar and Beowulf would have ever met who appeared in high heels).
