文化面面观 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.
小编评语
 这个片段是电影也是小说中很有意义的一段，自打败troll这件事后，铁三角就正式形成。勤奋好学但是好为人师的赫敏从此有了两个真正的朋友。三个好朋友协同作战，才会取得后面书中的一些列战果。在电影中，这个场景显然是加了后期特效的。据说在拍摄的时候，小演员们对着空气想象troll这个庞然大物的存在、并与它搏斗，着实难为了这些孩子。感谢他们的努力，让我们看到了这精彩的一幕。
