When Eric Folke
attends his first gay dance, he hopes to find acceptance and
inner peace, what he gets is the man of his dreams. Nick
Bertolli is everything Eric ever dreamed of, but as they
begin dating, the bumps in the road seem to get bigger and
bigger. Can true love conquer all in the face of violence,
bigotry, and rejection?
Beautiful Viking
boasts a genuine love story. Eric and Nick are well suited
and clearly in love. Unfortunately, that is Beautiful
Viking’s only redeeming quality. The dialog is
unrealistic, inane, and definitely not indicative of the way
men speak to or about each other and because of it, I could
not connect with the characters. The plot becomes a cycle
where Eric and Nick are physically attacked or threatened
repeatedly. It’s redundant. Beautiful Viking
is about two men who fall in love and live happily ever
after even in the face of adversity. It sounds good in
theory, but the men are adolescent and the story is
immature, at best. |
