Something you’d hardly notice with this gigantic trebuchet, is that Edward is wearing armor. Not just a padded shirt or anything, no, I mean armor. Now you could say it’s because of the siege, but it’s actually quite historically accurate. Edward loved wearing armor. There are stories of him wearing it as his normal day to day clothing, and looking around the rest of the siege camp, he really is the only ‘civilian’ wearing armor.
The only people present in this scene who can be considered "civilians" are the women. Nobles were the opposite of civilians. In fact, medieval society specifically referred to the upper class of gentry as "those who fight"
There was no clear distinction between military and civilian government in these times. Offshoots of one of the most violent periods in human history, these successor states were all heavily militarized societies. You wouldn't be allowed to govern if you had no military training or experience
Everybody in the comments mentioning Stannis, but can't you guys See Lord Commander Jeor Mormont at 1:37, he also had a part in Braveheart the supposed prequel which is nice.
Braveheart isnt the prequel to this, braveheart is a terrible inaccurate mel gibson film. Outlaw king was actually reasonable accurate, and a good movie unlike braveheart. If braveheart was similary accurate and well put together and didnt star mel gibson, it would be the prequel. But yes historically wise the plot of outlaw king was shortly after william wallaces death. Braveheart was a shit movie though and shouldnt be associated with this. I cringe just thinking of mel gibson screaming freedom
@ this is only small part of the scene. The entire scene is actually 8 minutes in one take, and it even involves a sword fight. Hell yeah that's hard. One mistake and all actors would have to redo everything.
6 років тому
@@brucesnow7125 Only hard part is the main actors but they have a few lines each.
@wtf do you mean? What, background actors can't make mistakes lol? Everyone can make a mistake. Sometimes background actors can ruin the shot, be where they aren't supposed to be and so on and so forth. Sword fight is especially the hardest part for actors, as they should be still able to remember their lines and stay in character, remember the choreography, and continue acting or everything will start over. This is much harder than theatre, because people don't care about small mistakes in stages, and they don't have as much people to direct, and they don't have much choreography put on action scenes. You see theatre acts bit further away, so you will be more focused on overall picture than small details. Movies though, every mistake counts, because people can notice it, actors should be able to stay in character all the time, because smallest character breaking moments can ruin the experience. Undermining scenes, where so much effort was put in by everyone, is really a delusional thing to do.
One of my favorite scenes ever is the entire intro to this movie, all the way from the first second of the film to the end of this very scene is a single long tale that creates so much tension, atmosphere, characterization and reveals context without any exposition, it’s an absolutely brilliant piece of cinema
After watching this I expected the battles to be filmed in one take like the revenant, the battles were still top notch and realistic but long takes are just so good.
@The Law one question: we know show version of stannis died but the book version may have a similar death but no brienne. Stannis if he dies in battle then it be less poetic. If stannis died being backstabbed it be poetic like how his priestess used the shadow to assassinate Renly.
Oh god the kings comment: "It took 3 months to build so I didnt want to waste it." The tone of the actors voice, the face, it all came together masterfully. HAHAHHAAH!
@@seanwalters1977 Agreed. Actually, it was supposed to be longer, but after the first screenings David MacKenzie felt the need to shave off 22 minutes. It would be cool if they released a director's cut.
Love how historically accurate this scene is. The painful truth that the council of Scotland was a mile down the road they just attacked the wrong building( the castle) instead of the meeting
i read somewhere that they basically let everybody flee and that the castle was mostly empty by the time this was fired. they weren't really _trying_ to kill anybody, just show off their might. ...or the other comment I read was wrong and I'm totally spreading misinformation. lol
True, although in reality the artillerymen probably wouldn't let the King anyway near their infernal machine when it was firing. They had to calculate the various stresses involved without benefit of modern calculus or engineering. Ropes could snap and fly around with lethal force. Its one of the reasons siege engines were so rare - very few people understood how they worked or how to make and operate them.
This has got to be one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Outlaw King is a severely underrated film. Chris Pine played Robert the Bruce perfectly.
No. Robert was an ugly short man with bad temper. Nobody goes armed to a place where weapons are forbiden without second intentios, and Robert did. Killing the guy on the church was simple and calculated murder. Robert was a blood thirsty guy, unlike the caracter portraid by Cris.
ultra late reply, but I finally watched this on netflix and realized that it is to show that he didn't realize he was ill, until later in the film when he speaks to his council and says "I slipped this morning..."
I'm always a fan of King's that are capable of respect and mercy. "I'm proud of you, Robert. You had the courage to stand up to me... and the wisdom to stand down."
King:SURRENDER OR BEHOLD THE WARWOLF!!!! Defenders:We surrender! King:WAIT...WHAT...But...But...My trebuchet....It took 3 month to build it and I wanna try it out....Shoot at them!!! Defenders:wtf...
It would be actually kind of odd to find out if the Japanese actually wanted unconditional surrender but the US wanted to test their two atomic bombs first before accepting their surrender.
@A1 "waited till it was built, then decided to surrender just to be troublesome." Well, that was perfectly legitimate by the rules of medieval war. There were only thirty men defending the castle. After it surrendered, Edward had one man executed (an Englishman who had swapped sides), sent the commander to prison in London (he was later released) and let the rest go. Very civilized by medieval standards. Later he wouldn't be so reasonable, but at this stage he thought Scotland wasn't going to be anymore trouble.
I love how in this movie you could identify characters through their coats of arms. I wish more medieval movies weren't so afraid of color. The King with Timothy Chalamet was disappointingly grey.
@@qwopiretyu The King was still a very good movie but these two are quite different, Outlaw King mainly striving for historical accuracy while The King is based more off of a play, yet is still quite a real depiction of medieval life
@@geechyguy3441 The King is completely unrealistic. It's portrayal of the French and the battle of Agincourt, specifically, are laughable. It also boggles the mind that they made Henry V, a 30 years old veteran, look like a zoomer twink.
this one scene reminds me so much of apocalypse now. The immediacy of the violence and the sense of proximity of these giant weapons of war, all while some madman walks around reveling in it
A great scene to drink in the detail. Despite the look of awe on Bruce’s face while Edward is intimidating them, I feel the film is hinting at his cunning. That he’s already noting castles were obsolete and that he could never match English technology and military strength but that it can also be slow to manifest. Once he realised chivalry meant nothing to the English after Methven and adopted guerilla war tactics, he’d start burning down castles himself.
Bruce burned down the castles in his rear, in the north of Scotland, so they couldn't be used as a base for rebellion against him. He didn't burn Stirling, or Edinburgh, or Berwick or any of the castles he needed to defend against the English. Methven didn't show a lack of chivalry - Aymer de Valance was one of the most chivalrous knights of his time, often disobeying royal orders if he considered them wrong. He was within his rights to make a night attack. But I agree that Bruce learned from the experience. He also learned from Dalrigh (after Methven) when his forces were almost wiped out by a McDougall ambush.
@@daldan66 Valence agreed on a single combat with Bruce the next day at noon, but he did not give any undertaking not to fight in the meantime. Hence why he was fully within his rights to attack in the meantime, in accordance with medieval custom. And why his reputation was unaffected by it.
@@mikem9001 the dragon banner was raised, he even mentions hes using that to his advantage because all codes of chivalry and honor are voided, when he makes the deal with bruce to fight as hes riding away he even says “theyre outlaws man, they have no rights” indicating what hes doing is wrong if done to any other respectable army/leader but because of the dragon banner being raised and them hating scots so much he saw it as an excuse to not be honorable
"They all tried to surrender 2 days ago, Edward refused to accpet" Edward: "We spent 3 months building this fucking trebuchet, were gonna fucking USE this trebuchet!!!!"
I imagine this is probably the best depiction of any English King I've ever seen in a movie or show. He looks alot like the drawings of Edward and he exudes very powerful and intimidating energy
Interesting historical note about Stirling Castle. The Scottish flag flew over it uninterrupted for centuries except for one night. A Canadian private high school was holding their graduation ceremony in the castle and sometime during the night some of the students took down the St Andrews Cross and put up the Maple Leaf.
I don’t think this movie would exist if Game of Thrones never became popular, same could probably said about all the medieval flicks made in the 2010s.
Anyone else notice the symbolism used with the candle? It’s alight in the opening shot within the English tent here at Stirling showing the grip of Edward and before the Scots meet the English at Loudoun Hill you see the spider and then Robert praying...as he leaves the tent he blows out the candle symbolising that the English rule within Scotland is starting to crumble. I might be completely wrong but it’s a nice concept! Great movie that deserved far more recognition! I’d love to see a sequel leading up to the two day battle at Bannockburn! Wishful thinking....
Stephen Dillane was perfectly cast in this movie, but the ACT III of the movie blowed. It was an emotionless mud slog. They should have made it into a short series or something, I feel ACT I's great potential were all deflated as the movie continued. ACT II was filled with inconsequential battles and finally ACT III was ahistorical af when it came to the English Prince's involvement.
Imagine Dumb and Dumber had done justice to the greatest military commander in Westeros and had him at least bring siege engines to Winterfell. That would have been something.
@@Allegiancy Stannis came to Winterfell from the Wall through the Wolf's Wood. There's a whole land full of trees from which to make siege-engines. And there was no hurry to leave the Wall, why not leave prepared? Think about the situation first.
@@psevdhome You’re right let’s look at the situation. Stannis has several thousand men with him that not only are starving, exhausted, and on the brink of breaking but they’re also trudging through a heavy snowstorm. It takes them nearly 40 days (and counting) to reach Winterfell and they still aren’t there. Now if Stannis were to successfully deal with the Bolton hosts and continue on to siege Winterfell, he’d have to figure out how the siege engines would be leveled on the uneven ground that Winterfell sits upon. Winterfell is strategically far from any resources so Stannis would need to spare days for his forces to bring in wood from the Wolfswood, while also ensuring his stretched supply line isn’t harassed by any enemy. It’s a logistical nightmare and it’s why southern armies have never attempted to besiege it.
@@Allegiancy Quit trying to justify it after the fact. You didn't know which direction he is approaching from. I suggested that the best battle commander should be written at least half competently on the show. Unlike in the book he had no hurry to leave the Wall, because there was no shortage of supplies to feed his men. He also has ne need to grow his armies because he came with mercenaries on the show. Gather supplies before heading to Winterfell and build your engines before setting off from lumber near the Wall. In the books there is also no "uneven" ground at Winterfell you made it up. There is the wolf's wood full of deer (and wolves) that you can eat. Full of lumber to build, and long lake on the way is full of fish. No lack of food. In the book the situation is entirely different since Stannis' army is smaller, so he decides to win the Northerners themselves on his side, that's why he travels the breadth of the North to get more allies and to rally the entire North on his side. But in the book he had to leave because he was dwindling the supplies at the Wall and Winter was coming.
@@psevdhome It’s completely justified regardless because no matter which direction he comes from, he still won’t successfully besiege Winterfell even with siege engines. I simply explained to you how approaching from the Wolfswood wouldn’t change the obvious outcome 🤷♂️. I didn’t make up the “uneven” ground portion as it wouldn’t make sense to not have it that way in the books and only the show. Stannis’ army being smaller in the books makes the situation even worse, it’ll take longer to build the siege engines in such a dreadful condition. Let’s not overlook the negatives I pointed out previously aswell, a worm-out army that now has to besiege a substantial fortress which was specifically made to outlast its attackers- even more so than Storm’s End. On top of that it’s isolated for a reason making the task of sustaining a siege more strenuous for the attackers. YOU should quit trying to act as if Stannis would genuinely attempt a drawn-out siege on Winterfell. Especially book Stannis, he’s way too smart for that.
Bruce submitted to Edward two years before Stirling - he was already married to Elizabeth by the time the siege happened. The main reason - John Comyn was in charge of the Scottish resistance at the turn of the 14th century, and that he could not abide. So he submitted to Edward, then as we saw in 1306, seized his moment. In that, the film was accurate.

@@CodaMission yea, and most of the women in this scene are very clearly among the highest ladies, if not princesses
There was no clear distinction between military and civilian government in these times. Offshoots of one of the most violent periods in human history, these successor states were all heavily militarized societies. You wouldn't be allowed to govern if you had no military training or experience
Stephen Dilane is just an awesome performer. His potrayal of Stannis is memorable, his take on Longshanks is amazing. Mens a treasure.
Stephen Dillane would be, in my opinion, the absolute best pick to play Julius Caesar in a well made movie about the man.
I would just like to point out that James Cosmo has been in every Scottish play or movie since 1614.
It's true, I was there back in 1614
It's true, I am those movies
I thought this was an exaggeration but it's really true, I even saw him have a 3 minute role in a very bad and recent Scottish horror movie.

this should go down in YT comment GOAT history
Everybody in the comments mentioning Stannis, but can't you guys See Lord Commander Jeor Mormont at 1:37, he also had a part in Braveheart the supposed prequel which is nice.
Braveheart isnt the prequel to this, braveheart is a terrible inaccurate mel gibson film. Outlaw king was actually reasonable accurate, and a good movie unlike braveheart. If braveheart was similary accurate and well put together and didnt star mel gibson, it would be the prequel. But yes historically wise the plot of outlaw king was shortly after william wallaces death. Braveheart was a shit movie though and shouldnt be associated with this. I cringe just thinking of mel gibson screaming freedom
@@bandolando3265 That is why I said the "SUPPOSED" prequel did I not?
@@bandolando3265 it's a prequel in that it's set prior to this film. The ending of braveheart overlaps about 15 minutes into this film
BandoLando Historical accuracy doesn’t necessarily make a film better. Alexander was rather accurate, and that’s painfully shit.
@@aceharris1463 I liked Alexander. It wasn't great but it had a lot of interesting visuals and I somewhat enjoyed the plot.

This long take scene is so well directed, David Mackenzie is the man

@ this is only small part of the scene. The entire scene is actually 8 minutes in one take, and it even involves a sword fight. Hell yeah that's hard. One mistake and all actors would have to redo everything.
@@brucesnow7125 Only hard part is the main actors but they have a few lines each.
In the scot language Mackenzie was actually spelt with a letter symbol to y, replacing the letter z and pronouncing like mackenyie.
@wtf do you mean? What, background actors can't make mistakes lol? Everyone can make a mistake. Sometimes background actors can ruin the shot, be where they aren't supposed to be and so on and so forth. Sword fight is especially the hardest part for actors, as they should be still able to remember their lines and stay in character, remember the choreography, and continue acting or everything will start over. This is much harder than theatre, because people don't care about small mistakes in stages, and they don't have as much people to direct, and they don't have much choreography put on action scenes. You see theatre acts bit further away, so you will be more focused on overall picture than small details. Movies though, every mistake counts, because people can notice it, actors should be able to stay in character all the time, because smallest character breaking moments can ruin the experience. Undermining scenes, where so much effort was put in by everyone, is really a delusional thing to do.
This a single take sequence. Its amazingly done. .
One of my favorite scenes ever is the entire intro to this movie, all the way from the first second of the film to the end of this very scene is a single long tale that creates so much tension, atmosphere, characterization and reveals context without any exposition, it’s an absolutely brilliant piece of cinema
This scene is so well shot, all fluid and from what I can tell one or very minimal takes. Made you feel immersed in the setting.
After watching this I expected the battles to be filmed in one take like the revenant, the battles were still top notch and realistic but long takes are just so good.
Well damn Stanis did take the Iron throne afterall
“The Iron Throne is mine, by rite”
How the Battle of Winterfell should have been
Stannis Baratheon has Theon hostage and getting information out. He also tricked frey and northern Knights to ice leaks as a battle trap.
@The Law one question: we know show version of stannis died but the book version may have a similar death but no brienne. Stannis if he dies in battle then it be less poetic. If stannis died being backstabbed it be poetic like how his priestess used the shadow to assassinate Renly.

bruh epic 🤣🤣
Using wildfire and naming something after a wolf, and he even has a dragon banner.
They could not find a more perfect actor to play Edward I than Stephen Dillane. He was brilliant.
Wish they had put some of those sliders in his heels, just to give him that slightly more imposing look that Edward apparently had.
Stannis the Mannis being actual king for once
He finally avenge his older brother
He is the actual king, the one true king
Ah, so here we see King Stannis successfully subduing the North at the Siege of Winterfell.
This movie was very well done on all accounts.
My only issue is that it seemed rushed at times but overall a very good movie! Probably would have been better as a miniseries but still awesome!
@@seanwalters1977 Agreed. Actually, it was supposed to be longer, but after the first screenings David MacKenzie felt the need to shave off 22 minutes. It would be cool if they released a director's cut.
I'm sorry but to make a movie about king Robert Bruce and not include bannockburn is criminal.
The villain had no depth of character, he was written like a school bully
one of the few medieval historical flicks that actually have the protagonist wearing head armor
Love how historically accurate this scene is. The painful truth that the council of Scotland was a mile down the road they just attacked the wrong building( the castle) instead of the meeting
They were meeting a mile to the east in Cambuskenneth Abbey.
i read somewhere that they basically let everybody flee and that the castle was mostly empty by the time this was fired. they weren't really _trying_ to kill anybody, just show off their might.
...or the other comment I read was wrong and I'm totally spreading misinformation. lol
01:24 I gonna ACCEPT SURRENDER
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS
Bald guy didn't even flinch, as the insanely heavy ball of flaming Greek fire is propelled towards the castle. Inches from his head.
mrneutral Must’ve been CGI.
The ball, yes. The fabric that almost bitch slapped him, probably real.
@@roas2 keep telling that to yourself baldie
that guy is probably the stunt supervisor there to see the job done himself.
True, although in reality the artillerymen probably wouldn't let the King anyway near their infernal machine when it was firing. They had to calculate the various stresses involved without benefit of modern calculus or engineering. Ropes could snap and fly around with lethal force. Its one of the reasons siege engines were so rare - very few people understood how they worked or how to make and operate them.
This has got to be one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Outlaw King is a severely underrated film. Chris Pine played Robert the Bruce perfectly.
😂
Congrats on watching your first movie!
No. Robert was an ugly short man with bad temper. Nobody goes armed to a place where weapons are forbiden without second intentios, and Robert did. Killing the guy on the church was simple and calculated murder. Robert was a blood thirsty guy, unlike the caracter portraid by Cris.
chris pine played robert the bruce completely inaccurately
There's something weirdly comical about how when the king stands up, he leans on his sword to leverage himself up and it slides out from underneath.
Yea I don’t understand why they couldn’t do another take
@@TheAurelianProject probably a lot to reset in a long scene for that bit that they figured no losers on UA-cam would notice 😛
@@freddieharris3873 I liked the subtle humour/realism in it
That happened because the king was too excited to show friends his new toy.
ultra late reply, but I finally watched this on netflix and realized that it is to show that he didn't realize he was ill, until later in the film when he speaks to his council and says "I slipped this morning..."
Stannis is proud of Robert for once but you can hear his teeth grinding
Bruce should have offered him a peach.
Scotts: "we surrender"
King Edward: "Alright, but first lemme test this monster"
The cinematography in this film was beautiful, and the very limited cgi that they used was well done. Most casual watchers couldn’t tell it was there
I'm always a fan of King's that are capable of respect and mercy.
"I'm proud of you, Robert. You had the courage to stand up to me... and the wisdom to stand down."
King:SURRENDER OR BEHOLD THE WARWOLF!!!!
Defenders:We surrender!
King:WAIT...WHAT...But...But...My trebuchet....It took 3 month to build it and I wanna try it out....Shoot at them!!!
Defenders:wtf...
Can't blame the king for that. The trebuchet looks awesome. Any self-respecting monarch would fire it at least once.
@@someorclad9738 ikr who wouldnt want to fire it
It would be actually kind of odd to find out if the Japanese actually wanted unconditional surrender but the US wanted to test their two atomic bombs first before accepting their surrender.
@A1 Now that's a power move😂
@A1 "waited till it was built, then decided to surrender just to be troublesome." Well, that was perfectly legitimate by the rules of medieval war. There were only thirty men defending the castle. After it surrendered, Edward had one man executed (an Englishman who had swapped sides), sent the commander to prison in London (he was later released) and let the rest go. Very civilized by medieval standards. Later he wouldn't be so reasonable, but at this stage he thought Scotland wasn't going to be anymore trouble.
I love how in this movie you could identify characters through their coats of arms. I wish more medieval movies weren't so afraid of color. The King with Timothy Chalamet was disappointingly grey.
But still a tour de force, no? I agree washed out colour pallette but a damn fine picture rest of the way round
@@qwopiretyu The King was still a very good movie but these two are quite different, Outlaw King mainly striving for historical accuracy while The King is based more off of a play, yet is still quite a real depiction of medieval life
The court in The King looks fairly accurate, the king's standard is correct.
@@geechyguy3441 The King is completely unrealistic. It's portrayal of the French and the battle of Agincourt, specifically, are laughable. It also boggles the mind that they made Henry V, a 30 years old veteran, look like a zoomer twink.
Deleted scenes of Stannis attacking High Garden after winning the throne
They would switch sides rather than accepting a siege
Glad to see Stannis Baratheon and Jeor Mormont doing well.
you have courage to stand up to me and wisdom to stand down.....powerful words from powerful man
this one scene reminds me so much of apocalypse now. The immediacy of the violence and the sense of proximity of these giant weapons of war, all while some madman walks around reveling in it

“We have a spectacle!” Love that line
What an absolutely amazing movie. I've been listening a lot to the soundtrack lately. Will have to watch again soon.

“I’m proud of you, Robert. You had the courage to stand up to me… and the wisdom to stand down.”
That was *so* gangsta!
that music going from the horns into the drums definitely has a modern vibe to it
A great scene to drink in the detail. Despite the look of awe on Bruce’s face while Edward is intimidating them, I feel the film is hinting at his cunning. That he’s already noting castles were obsolete and that he could never match English technology and military strength but that it can also be slow to manifest. Once he realised chivalry meant nothing to the English after Methven and adopted guerilla war tactics, he’d start burning down castles himself.
Bruce burned down the castles in his rear, in the north of Scotland, so they couldn't be used as a base for rebellion against him. He didn't burn Stirling, or Edinburgh, or Berwick or any of the castles he needed to defend against the English.
Methven didn't show a lack of chivalry - Aymer de Valance was one of the most chivalrous knights of his time, often disobeying royal orders if he considered them wrong. He was within his rights to make a night attack. But I agree that Bruce learned from the experience. He also learned from Dalrigh (after Methven) when his forces were almost wiped out by a McDougall ambush.
@@mikem9001 it was because valence shook hands and agreed on a single combat with bruce instead of their armies fighting
@@daldan66 Valence agreed on a single combat with Bruce the next day at noon, but he did not give any undertaking not to fight in the meantime. Hence why he was fully within his rights to attack in the meantime, in accordance with medieval custom. And why his reputation was unaffected by it.
@@mikem9001 the dragon banner was raised, he even mentions hes using that to his advantage because all codes of chivalry and honor are voided, when he makes the deal with bruce to fight as hes riding away he even says “theyre outlaws man, they have no rights” indicating what hes doing is wrong if done to any other respectable army/leader but because of the dragon banner being raised and them hating scots so much he saw it as an excuse to not be honorable
@@daldan66 Yes, that's the fantasy shown in the film. I was referring to what actually happened in history. Don't take the film seriously.
"They all tried to surrender 2 days ago, Edward refused to accpet"
Edward: "We spent 3 months building this fucking trebuchet, were gonna fucking USE this trebuchet!!!!"
I imagine this is probably the best depiction of any English King I've ever seen in a movie or show. He looks alot like the drawings of Edward and he exudes very powerful and intimidating energy
"You had the courage to stand up to me... and the wisdom to stand down"
The Transitions in this movie, this scene in particular are amazing
Interesting historical note about Stirling Castle. The Scottish flag flew over it uninterrupted for centuries except for one night. A Canadian private high school was holding their graduation ceremony in the castle and sometime during the night some of the students took down the St Andrews Cross and put up the Maple Leaf.
One continuous shot with no editing or cuts. Truly beautiful!
The sound that thing makes is so powerful.
Incredible moments in this movie and story. Fantastic battles but nothing will come close to BY THESE SWANS

Love how the full ignition of the Greek Fire coincided with the King pulling his sword. Maybe Stannis really WAS Lightbringer.
Love the filming of this Long shot into of OutLawKing ...it’s like something out of Game of Thrones
Anyone else notice the symbolism used with the candle? It’s alight in the opening shot within the English tent here at Stirling showing the grip of Edward and before the Scots meet the English at Loudoun Hill you see the spider and then Robert praying...as he leaves the tent he blows out the candle symbolising that the English rule within Scotland is starting to crumble.
I might be completely wrong but it’s a nice concept! Great movie that deserved far more recognition! I’d love to see a sequel leading up to the two day battle at Bannockburn! Wishful thinking....
Iam the only one who noticed that James cosmo, who played the father of Robert the bruce, also played hamishs father in braveheart?
Stephen Dillane was perfectly cast in this movie, but the ACT III of the movie blowed. It was an emotionless mud slog.
They should have made it into a short series or something, I feel ACT I's great potential were all deflated as the movie continued. ACT II was filled with inconsequential battles and finally ACT III was ahistorical af when it came to the English Prince's involvement.
Yeah lol it really starts out with a bang with this sequence and then drops off
The cinematography is breathtaking!
If you listen closely, you can hear the screams of the men in the castle but very faintly. Damn.
this scene in 4k with HDR, loooooks amazing! when they walk out of the tent especially. shout out to Stannis, and Lord Commander Mormont.
Imagine Dumb and Dumber had done justice to the greatest military commander in Westeros and had him at least bring siege engines to Winterfell. That would have been something.
Lol siege engines to Winterfell? They wouldn’t even make it through the swamps of the Neck
@@Allegiancy Stannis came to Winterfell from the Wall through the Wolf's Wood. There's a whole land full of trees from which to make siege-engines. And there was no hurry to leave the Wall, why not leave prepared?
Think about the situation first.
@@psevdhome You’re right let’s look at the situation.
Stannis has several thousand men with him that not only are starving, exhausted, and on the brink of breaking but they’re also trudging through a heavy snowstorm. It takes them nearly 40 days (and counting) to reach Winterfell and they still aren’t there. Now if Stannis were to successfully deal with the Bolton hosts and continue on to siege Winterfell, he’d have to figure out how the siege engines would be leveled on the uneven ground that Winterfell sits upon.
Winterfell is strategically far from any resources so Stannis would need to spare days for his forces to bring in wood from the Wolfswood, while also ensuring his stretched supply line isn’t harassed by any enemy.
It’s a logistical nightmare and it’s why southern armies have never attempted to besiege it.
@@Allegiancy Quit trying to justify it after the fact. You didn't know which direction he is approaching from.
I suggested that the best battle commander should be written at least half competently on the show.
Unlike in the book he had no hurry to leave the Wall, because there was no shortage of supplies to feed his men. He also has ne need to grow his armies because he came with mercenaries on the show.
Gather supplies before heading to Winterfell and build your engines before setting off from lumber near the Wall.
In the books there is also no "uneven" ground at Winterfell you made it up. There is the wolf's wood full of deer (and wolves) that you can eat. Full of lumber to build, and long lake on the way is full of fish. No lack of food.
In the book the situation is entirely different since Stannis' army is smaller, so he decides to win the Northerners themselves on his side, that's why he travels the breadth of the North to get more allies and to rally the entire North on his side. But in the book he had to leave because he was dwindling the supplies at the Wall and Winter was coming.
@@psevdhome It’s completely justified regardless because no matter which direction he comes from, he still won’t successfully besiege Winterfell even with siege engines. I simply explained to you how approaching from the Wolfswood wouldn’t change the obvious outcome 🤷♂️.
I didn’t make up the “uneven” ground portion as it wouldn’t make sense to not have it that way in the books and only the show.
Stannis’ army being smaller in the books makes the situation even worse, it’ll take longer to build the siege engines in such a dreadful condition. Let’s not overlook the negatives I pointed out previously aswell, a worm-out army that now has to besiege a substantial fortress which was specifically made to outlast its attackers- even more so than Storm’s End. On top of that it’s isolated for a reason making the task of sustaining a siege more strenuous for the attackers.
YOU should quit trying to act as if Stannis would genuinely attempt a drawn-out siege on Winterfell. Especially book Stannis, he’s way too smart for that.
I would love to see Stephen play Emperor Aurelian. There is no actor who would be better suited to play him.
1:23 what is the choir singing , how is it called ?
what is it
@@lucolmao110 Darrudus sandstormus. Latin hymn.
This scene is pure art right there.
If I built something that big, I would like to use it too
The entire movie before this is also in one shot, this movie is incredibly underrated.
The choir is hilarious, just waiting for the projectile to hit before they burst out in glorious harmony.
honestly if you spent three months building that thing, you'd cheer too as it finally worked.
The Mannis returned.
Bruce submitted to Edward two years before Stirling - he was already married to Elizabeth by the time the siege happened.
The main reason - John Comyn was in charge of the Scottish resistance at the turn of the 14th century, and that he could not abide.
So he submitted to Edward, then as we saw in 1306, seized his moment. In that, the film was accurate.
"congratulations my lord today your are on the winning side" i want to use this one liner badass phrase once in my lifetime!
This movie is criminally underrated
