      @josem.figueroajr.4532 Před 6 lety +5

      Box Tank! The first two were intentional. That's why I said valid points. Thulsa Doom unintentionally gave Conan too much of a chance to plan on avenging his people, and should have killed the Cimmerian when the Stygian demigod had a chance to. Instead, Conan, later on in the movie, took the opportunity to kill Thulsa Doom. At least Conan was still alive to do it.
      And eventually become the king of Aquilonia by his own hand, wearing a crown upon a troubled brow.
      Thulsa Doom knew that Conan would be given to a slave trader. The Stygian demigod might have foreseen it.

    @MrKhanMan1510 Před 6 lety +370

    Its seems to me that a lot of people want to take the Riddle of Steel more literally when it's probably meant to be more metaphorical. The film starts with a quote from Nietzsche, "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger." which is then followed by imagery of Conan's father forging a sword. This part is the key to the riddle. When a sword is forged the metal has to be exposed to extreme heat then hammered and folded over and over again in order to take shape and to work out the impurities in the metal, and finally quenched in order to temper the blade. The metaphor here is that "steel" is what a person becomes after they have gone through extreme hardships and by doing so have allowed their "impurities" and weaknesses to be hammered out and burned off in order to become a better, stronger, more resilient person. To be more precise, "steel" is a person's will, or their sense of belief and confidence in themselves. So when Conan's father says to him, "This you can trust." What he meant was that ultimately the only thing you can absolutely rely on and trust, is yourself. But only once you've overcome your own weaknesses by forging and tempering yourself in the fires of hardship. It seems as though Thulsa Doom almost understood the riddle but his understanding is tainted by his desire for power. He views it merely as an insight into how to control and dominate people. Conan, on the other hand, has no real interest in controlling anyone. He just wanted the strength and will to have his revenge.

  • @kitsunekisama7282
    @kitsunekisama7282 Před 10 lety +638

    Thulsa Doom is not describing strength here. The riddle of steel is about the endless pursuit of personal strength, skill, and will power. Doom mocks the riddle and reveals half truths about it to destroy it's true purpose. He understands the riddle, but does not want anyone else to do the same. He wants weak willed followers who are willing to die at his suggestion.

    • @Str1000ac
      @Str1000ac Před 9 lety +125

      As Thulsa Doom states the riddle of steel is that the flesh (the hand that wields the sword) is stronger than a sword.
      The will, the hand that wields the sword is what needs to be conquered. Once he learned that secret (by looking at Conan's mother before killing her) he was not a warrior anymore but a cult leader conquering human minds and will.
      The riddle of steel is NOT about the endless pursuit of whatever. The sword is strong as it's the hand that holds it.

    • @kitsunekisama7282
      @kitsunekisama7282 Před 9 lety +31

      Str1000ac You're arguing semantics. Strength, skill, will power ARE the hand that wields the sword. If you can see passed semantics, we agree on this.
      Doom understands the riddle, but does not want others to, so he reveals half truths to destroy it's purpose. He was not a warrior anymore but a cult leader conquering human minds and will. If you can see passed semantics, I think we agree on this too.
      If, however, you believe that Thulsa Doom actually revealed the answer to the riddle of steel here, we do disagree. I don't know that's your meaning, it just sounds that way due to your second sentence. I think what he was doing in this clip was trying to pervert Conan's perception of strength. Ultimately, strength, skill, and will power allowed Conan to break his father's sword and resist Thulsa Doom's corruption.

    • @JLittleBass
      @JLittleBass Před 9 lety +58

      Kitsune Kisama The Riddle of Steel seems to be similar to Varys' Riddle of Power from A Song of Ice and Fire. Power is where men believe it to be. The genius of Conan is his refusal to believe any person who tries to claim power over him.

    • @pjworth6121
      @pjworth6121 Před 8 lety +82

      All interesting, varied takes on the riddle of steel. Pretty cool that such a movie can spur such great discussion!
      In my opinion, there is a fascinating dichotomy going on with Thulsa Doom and Conan's true father and their outlooks on what is true strength. Thulsa Doom takes on the unique role as an almost substitute "father" figure to Conan with his harshly doled lessons about life, strength, will, hate, etc.
      Thulsa Doom openly taunts Conan in this scene by revealing the true answer to the riddle of steel - the strength of steel is nothing compared to the will of the one who wields it. This baffles him and flies in the face of everything his real father taught him - steel is stronger than men, women, beasts and you can always trust it. Conan finally sees this to be true in his final battle with Rexor, who is ultimately killed when the stolen Cimmerian sword, made by Conan's father, fails him and shatters in two.
      Finally, in the penultimate scene of the film, Conan confronts Thulsa Doom and symbolically kills this father-figure with his real father's broken sword. The same father-figure who forged Conan's will to live and ultimately helped him become a man, really, albeit through pain, anguish and suffering. This directly correlates to the opening titles quote from Nietzsche. He both matures and unburdens not only himself but the Followers of Doom. By showing them Thulsa is only a man, he (inadvertently?) helps them find the will to extinguish their torches and return to their lives. Conan is now the master of the his own destiny; he will no longer let any man hold dominion over him and is set on the path to one day be king. Truly a wonderfully written character evolution imho. Just my take.

    I've always loved this steel vs flesh thing going on.
    To me the whole "steel is the only thing you can trust" argument from Corin speaks that strength is about self-determination and freedom. Steel is a tool that you can make you self-dependent and truly free, and that freedom from the wills of others is true strength.
    While Thulsa argues that if you master flesh, and it's desires and whims, then you can bend others to serve you and gain freedom by enslaving the wills of others. By mastering the mind your strength goes beyond the material.

    This scene was inspired by a real life event. A Crusader lord was visiting an arab cult in the desert sometime in teh 1100's, and he reported the exact same devotion followers had, and as the head of the cult was walking with the lord, he had one of his followers on the wall jump to their deaths. It was said that the cult drugged potential new members for days while transporting them to a castle they had built in a remote location. This castle was stocked with food, women and all of lifes top luxurious pleasures. When the new recruit awoke, they were treated as a God and told it was the paradise of the afterlife. Then at some point a few days later they were re-drugged and brought back to the temple. When they awoke they were completely convinced they had been to the paradise that was promised and become unwavering cultists from that point forward.

    @MrDrmillgram Před 6 lety +9

    I didn't remember this scene but looking back it is a powerful metaphor. " Flesh", the body, when properly channeled is stronger than matter. But flesh is controlled by the mind. Therefore control of the mind is control of matter. The greater the control over minds the more control over matter. Taken to extreme it means control over nature itself. The woman walking off the cliff is a metaphor for absolute power over the mind. I'm disgusted by that, or any philosophy, that believes in degrading minds for greater power.

    @Embrachu Před 4 lety +2

    Recall the quote of Nietzsche in the very beginning of the film: "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger". That was the answer to the Riddle of Steel", in plain view.
    There are some who claim Thulsa Doom didn't know the answer to the Riddle of Steel, but Doom he knew, for he had said to Conan, "Look to the strength of your body, _the desire in your heart_. I gave you this." Some think Doom spoke of literal flesh, but clearly this was not the case, if they view his words in context.
    However, ultimately Thulsa Doom was slain...by steel. While steel may not be 'stronger' than the desire (the "flesh") in one's heart, it still should not be wholly discounted; even broken it carries strength.

  • @fatarsemonkey
    @fatarsemonkey Před 5 lety +2

    I think people get mistaken about this scene, as I did, I thought Thulsa Doom was giving him the answer to the riddle of steel but the solution to it isn't until the end of the movie, you see Thulsa Doom is the serpent and you have to overcome the flesh, at the end when Thulsa is trying to convince Conan that he is his father, Conan is nearly overcome by the smooth words of the serpent but I believe he remembers his fathers words and strikes Thulsa with his fathers sword.

      +Michael Jason “oops” Seibert Yeah its anti-religious. A movie made by occult Satanists. Its one of their favourite tales, the Set Horus conflict story. Now Satanists equate Satan with Set, but whenever the hollywood "illuminated" ones portray Set as the bad guy, he is supposed to represent the Hebrew god. They like to mix things up and confuse.
      .
      In the movie Conan is Crucified. Some people think that means Conan represents Jesus, which of course it doesn't, Jesus doesn't go on a journey of Revenge. So why did they Crucify Conan? So at the end Set/Thulsa can call Conan his Son and so reveal his own identity. In fact Thulsa says this three times, My Son, for who now is your father if it is not me?........... My Son, My Son", which is in mockery of Jesus being disowned three times, another fav Occult hollywood trick. By doing that Set/Thulsa identifies himself as the Hebrew god. The Hebew God/Thulsa also says before he is decapitated, that his followers are Waters that will wash away all that has gone before (The Flood).

      That makes no sense - "occult Satanists" would be religious by definition. Also, I bet you have absolutely no evidence of that claim.
      All the rest of your Jesus parallels are really strained, too, by the way. And they suggest you are unfamiliar with any religion but your own. And they also rely ignoring the parts where things don't match up, like how you noted that Conan DOESN'T represent Jesus, despite being crucified, and then said that Thulsa Doom identifies himself as the Hebrew god but isn't Jesus' father. Those pieces don't fit together. At all. You're bad at film analysis.
