Secret of Kells

The film that I watched was Secret of Kells. This film was released in 2009. The top stars are: Brendan Gleeson, Evan McGuire, Christen Mooney, and Mick Lally.

Abbot Cellach was obsessed with building a wall to keep Vikings raiders from destroying the early-Christian Abbey of Kells. Brendan is his nephew and he is following in Cellach's footsteps. Brendan heard the story of Aidan of Iona. Aidan escaped from the Vikings who have destroyed his own monastery, and brought the unfinished Book of Iona with him. Aidan asks Brendan to venture into the forest to look for gall nuts to make ink, though the boy is fearful as he was forbidden to go into the forest by his uncle. Brendan eventually enters the forest, where he meets a forest spirit named Aisling. Cellach learns of his adventure and forbids him from leaving the abbey's confines; Brendan secretly defies it as Aidan teaches him illumination while Aisling introduces him to a bigger world. Brendan finds out that Aidan is going need help to finish the book due to failing eyes and hands. He tries to sneak back to the abbey to find another eye for Aidan but he gets caught by Cellach. Aisling frees Brendan and they go back in the forest to defeat Crom and it was a success. Later, Aisling kills the Vikings and they finish the Book of Kells.
