- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- This week we are looking to review Outlaw King, stylized as Outlaw/King, is a 2018 historical action drama film about Robert the Bruce, the 14th-century Scottish King who launched a guerilla war against the larger English army. The film largely takes place during the 3-year historical period from 1304, when Bruce decides to rebel against the rule of Edward I over Scotland, thus becoming an "outlaw", up to the 1307 Battle of Loudoun Hill. Outlaw King was co-written, produced, and directed by David Mackenzie.It stars Chris Pine, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Florence Pugh, Billy Howle, Sam Spruell, Tony Curran, Callan Mulvey, James Cosmo, and Stephen Dillane.

One of my favorite movies as well. Everything about it is great!
I absolutely love your channel! While there's troves of accessible stuff on English history. As a distant South Asian, I have never had much chance of gaining such in depth knowledge and perspective of Irish history. I hope you get big and your channel gains further resources and refinement. Best wishes and thank you mate!
Thanks so much man! This means so much.
I also liked The Outlaw King and couldn’t understand the reason it was not better received by critics.
I love this channel and appreciate the work you put in to teaching complex situations through understandable explanations.
Thank you so much. Means so much.
I guess I need to check that film out.
Hahah 100% do.
There's actually a good explanation for the poor critic reviews. At the premiere a different cut of the movie was shown, which was received poorly. Apparently the edit was rushed in order to have it ready for the premiere. After the poor reception, the director went and re-edited it, creating the cut which we've all seen. Some of those critic reviews are actually reviewing the original cut of the film, which apparently wasn't very good. I remember that when the movie initially premieres, the Rotten Tomatoes score came to around 40%, but once the film (with the new edit) was released on netflix, it went up to around 60%. So we can easily imagine that if the film was first released in it's final form, the score would be a good bit higher again.
One of my favorite films to come out of Netflix, it was a perfect through back to the gladiator, braveheart style historical epics that have fallen out of style in Hollywood.
My best guess is this format has been reworked into the TV format thanks to game of thrones.
I completely agree. Outlaw King is a fantastic movie.
It really is!
One thing I don't like is that the mail coifs don't fit anyone that where's them so you can just stab through the neck, I wish that at least Robert the Bruce or some other Nobles had mail coifs that fit.
I hope so to.
It looked like a good one
I think Elizabeth De Burgh should have had an irish accent,its a small thing but all the scottish nobles had strong scottish accents in the Film.The African trader looked realistic with his west african harp and not out of historical context like having black people sprinkled about the streets as if it was modern day london or dublin.Also the film really brought you into the medieval world ,but not in awaythat modern audiences could relate too,for example when one of bruces commanders reunites with his wife and they embrace and then she gives him a slap and asks him where tf have you been.
Just love this movie for everything you pointed out and more.
@@IrishMedievalHistory It was very good just watched it tonight
@@gallowglass2630 I put it on randomly all the time. Just love it.
My favourite movie of all time.
Hello not a bad video. I watched this movie and I really liked it!
Thanks man, yes I love it as well.
I'd have liked an extended version of this movie and there was soooo much more which could have been included. Even much of what is in the trailer is not included in the actual movie.
I didn't know there was an extended version. I'll get right on that this weekend.
@@IrishMedievalHistory no-no. An extended version doesn't exist to my knowledge. Just saying I wish one did.
@@Medieval_Mayhem same!
Love it
Thanks man.
Hang on, Elizabeth de Burgh was captured in 1306 - you say that she was tortured for seven years by the 'sick sadist' Edward I, but he died in 1307. Do you mean Edward II?
"A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain" by Marc Morris. Says Edward 1st.
@@IrishMedievalHistory I have that book, can you quote the page reference, please? Seems odd that Morris would make such a mistake.
Whaaat's my fucking nAAAMEE!!!
D-d-d- Douglas
Favourite man in the movie.
Well the African trader bit is a smart way to put some black people in the movie, but I don't really like that touch though it's probably a must today to have people of color in a movie. I hate black-washing, white-washing, asian-washing, it doesn't make sense and it's a really stupid thing, the sad thing today is if you point out that this white Scottish guy shouldn't be in a historical film in Nigeria or if a Black captian shouldn't feature in a film of anicent Greece you're a racist.
Mate there had been trading links between the British Isles and Ibero-Africa and even Middle east throughout the middle ages and even earlier. You shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly.
@@absurdist9609 Yes indeed but no one went abroad and said let me go to a far distant country where i do not know anyone and everybody would be suspicious of me. It is the same for White people. In the "old world" only Europe, North Africa, Middle East and maybe far away India and China. It is a great thing that no matter that the Europeans didn't know them the other people lived their lives and fought battles made alliances and did their thing, that is why i stand that we shouldn't wash history with today's age influence. History is history, geography is geography, you can't say there was a moor at the head of the Spanish army or an Asian making a mafia network in Rome. There is so much history in Africa and especially China and the rest of the world that it annoys me how it's neglected and forgotten. The "old world" didn't really have that many races, or rather everyone lived in their country you would definitely no see a muslim in Norway or Germany, nor a German in Arabia, everyone lived in their borders sept when war had other ideas like it happend in Hispania and the Balkans as well as France. You also had a lot of immigrations from the east like the Huns, the Golden Horde and the rest, why don't we talk about them, and the problem is even if we do talk about them they don't have their charm they are either Chinese/Japanese samurai or full of white people. We can't change history, or actually we can but that would be ignoring the truth that is under our nose and choosing in our insolence our self-made history like many dictators and politicians even today made.
@@absurdist9609 The kora is unlikely. The merchants would have been Arabs or Berbers and the kora is not an instrument used by them. As far as I'm aware musicians didn't travel by sea unless part of a larger retinue to entertain their employer, not to busk in foreign ports. At least the scene adds a sense of a port connected to the wider world.
Very good points. Not sure about Scotland but in Ireland the word African man pops up for traders coming up from Spain and in to the trading ports of Dublin a few times.
Wtf is Ibero Africa? No such place.
