Epic Details
Though the plot of the movie is so different from the epic that it's pointless to list them all, what ideas, details, etc. does Zemeckis leave in. For instance, Beowulf's mother speaks in a sort of strange dialect vaguely reminiscent of Anglo-Saxon/Old English (bonus points for anyone who can transcribe exactly what she says -- I'm having trouble picking up on all of it!)

SEriously? Explain to me in class...It would be appropriate since Tolkien drew on Beowulf tradition for inspiration and details.
