Conan's father is actually telling the story of Atlantis' fall: Cimmerians in the world of Conan are descendants of Atlanteans, the "Giants", who were believed to have been punished by gods for their arrogance, and with their fall much knowledge was initially thought lost - like the "Riddle of Steel"; advanced metallurgy - but some survived thanks to people who descended from them. By the time of Conan it has already been ages since the fall of Atlantis, and history has become mythologized.

You MUST read the original version from "Phoenix on the Sword". KNOW, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars-Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen- eyed,sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

He's not a 'barbarian' in the historical sense of the term, he has an inner virtue and moral standard, his personal honor that is based on 'mostly' Christian values, that he never violates. Wonderful novels that encourage young men to read.

He survived and alone killed him with a steel sword. The thing that finally killed Thulsa Doom was steel wielded by a worthy individual. This was the riddle of steel. A magnificent weapon that when taken up by an individual who was incorruptible was stronger than any force of flesh.

Valeria even came to him after death to save his life in battle, just as she swore she would. Conan was fortunate to have deeply loyal friends.

"For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts..." [Points to sword] "This you can trust." In truth, he trusted Subotai and Valeria, and that very sword broke in a critical moment. He got his revenge but at the highest price. He lost the woman he loved and their warmth. That's why he was sitting on those stairs at the end, contemplating about all this.... was it worth it? Crom roars YES, or he would only lead him back here another day. In even worse company.

Let me then ask you "lover of freedom" what is the point of the gun if no one has the will to use it? We live in a technocratic dystopia, and people who speak as you do haven't actually done anything in generations. We were freer a century ago then we are now, but all we have are cowards with more guns than they could ever use. What good have they done us when none have the will of Conan?

First time I saw this movie was on an Easter Weekend in the 80s...just by chance it was a tv premier afternoon showing and I was awestruck with the music and the whole story of the movie....been one of my favourite soundtracks since.

There's a game called "Blade Of Darkness" made by Rebel Studios and Codemasters and the Narrations the Characters and the Action are all super reminiscent of this film. Definitely my favourite fantasy action movies. The Thirteenth Warrior comes after that and you can easily guess where they got the Lion's Share of their inspirations from.

It was smashed in half by a magical Atlantean sword. You cant really fault Conan's dad for that... especially not with how they swings swords like clubs at each other through a lot of the fights. Not to knock the film film though. As cheesy as it is, its still Epic Shit.

@@cadethumann8605 casting steel to make a long blade with no real way with the technology then to get rid of the voids and air pockets inside, breakage was inevitable. You can get away with it nowadays since there are ways now to get rid of such voids and air pockets or prevent them from forming in the first place. I still wouldn't use a casting for serious blades like for swords. Gun parts such as barrels, receivers etc, however, casting, done correctly, is perfectly fine. Ruger and Magnum Research do it all the time and have it pretty much down to a science. Billets are best but casting, done properly with today's technology, will also work. Back in the Conan days, not so much.

Strength/Power is the central idea of Conan's tribe (and world, in general). And so the Riddle of Steel is but the quest to acquire it. This is confronted by Thulsa Doom (and his monotheistic ways) teaching Conan about "flesh" (will), from which the synthesis is pretty much Nietzsche's worldview. From the second draft: "He was right. If my father was the light of day, Thulsa Doom was the night". Both father figures.

One of the great things about this movie is the sense of atmosphere. The leadup to the bombastic part of the music with Akiro talking gives the impression that it's an old wise man retelling a heroic legend to people in a prehistoric cavern or hut.

This reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad was a soldier in the US.Army. Mom brought us to his unit. He was dressed in full battle gear. And he showed us an M-16 rifle. When I touched that rifle I knew what my destiny was from that day forth. Being a soldier was a honor for me. The similarity is this. Conan got to touch his fathers sword. My dad let me touch the M-16 rifle.
