文化面面觀  Troll 身世探查

Another explanation for the troll myth, is that the trolls represent the remains of the forefather-cult which was ubiquitous in Scandinavia until the introduction of Christianity in the 10th and 11th centuries. In this cult the forefathers were worshipped in sacred groves, by altars or by gravemounds. One of the customs associated with this practice was to sit on top of a gravemound at night, possibly in order to make contact with the deceased. With the introduction of Christianity however, the religious elite sought to demonize the pagan cult, and denounced the forefathers as evil. For instance, according to Magnus H?konsen's laws from 1276 it is illegal to attempt to wake the "mound-dwellers". It is in these laws that the word troll appears for the first time, denoting something heathen and generally unfavourable.

This fits with the trolls in Norse sagas who are often the restless dead, to be wrestled with or otherwise laid to rest.

小編評語

這個片段是電影也是小說中很有意義的一段，自打敗troll這件事后，鐵三角就正式形成。勤奮好學但是好為人師的赫敏從此有了兩個真正的朋友。三個好朋友協同作戰，才會取得后面書中的一些列戰果。在電影中，這個場景顯然是加了后期特效的。據說在拍攝的時候，小演員們對著空氣想象troll這個龐然大物的存在、并與它搏斗，著實難為了這些孩子。感謝他們的努力，讓我們看到了這精彩的一幕。
