You know, it's amazing what the language can actually do for the film. It feels 5,000 times better and more authentic than any other Roman film I've ever seen, even though the Latin isn't 100% on point for the time. Much better than watching a bunch of English people talk in their English accents.
lol....english accent is the worse thing in latin!!!!
Or worse, Americans actors speaking in an English accent. Blech!
Katrina Rhoda Diaz Yes!!
2cents non sequitur , barbaruncule.
well, it makes a change from Americans doing the same, only in English
I am from Romania . Proud to speak a romance language . I can understand 80% of the conversation . Thank you polish students for reviving the glory of EUROPE . !!!
Much better than me. French has derived so much from Latin, compared to other romance language (46%).
Thanks to latin I learned, it helps, but still need subtitles haha
@@Apaurie latin words in french language 80%
As a lover of Ancient history, I always loved the idea of a Latin-Speaking film set in Ancient Rome and my wish came true! Greetings from Mexico!
Salvete de Polonia
@@AkademiaFilmuiTelewizji Gratias!
Salve, podemos utilizar nuestro idioma romance y usar menos los idiomas bárbaros como el anglosajón.
Vale
Watch tv series Barbarians and Romulus.
This production beats any of what Hollywood is doing today! Kudos to the producers and the actors. Keep up the good work!
This raises the bar when it comes to authenticity. Most productions portray Romans as speaking with thick English accents. Marvelous.
considering this was a low budget student film, it was very well done. and while the latin wasn't perfect, it was better than alot of other media out there.
Are u a master of Latin ? How come you say it isn't perfect?
@@ashdravencrow6328 it's been a few years since I randomly watched this, thanks for reminding me. I'm not an expert, but I think in Classical Latin, the R would've been tapped/trilled more often (you can still hear this in the Romance languages, which are direct descendants). however, this is nitpicking. as I said back then, it's an overall faithful representation of Latin which gets many things right (like pronouncing the v as w), and is better than most other media.
@@ALEJANDROARANDARICKERT And thus by uttering those word, why is it that the Netflix Series, Barbarian, is a German Propaganda? Kindly explain it why, please.
@@WhyDidntIInventYT r in italian latin and polish are pronounced exactly in this same way. Example Roma
@@saganasimov4891 IMHO, first of all, there are many historical fails (anihilation of legions was one big joke, in reality it tooks 3 days of clashes in heavy rain and mud. Legions fought in very long columns, tried fallback, build fortifications etc. Only this part is worth at least 3 episodes, imho ). And about propaganda... in serie it looks like the good germanic tribes fight for their freedom and so on. Reality was different, tribes fought against each other in very savage wars, take slaves etc. etc. Some tribes cooperate with Romans... I understand, that there are always limitations, but whole serie is very disaponting to me. And yes, i forgot the Germans lookout, it seems that barbershops was very common in the ancient era :-D
Amazing effort, this is really well done considering it's student. I love hearing the Latin spoken and it makes me wish it was a more alive language than it is today.
Guys, I know this is 6 years after you produced it ...but....this is SENSATIONAL!!!! THIS IS A STUDENT PRODUCTION?!!!!??? You have got to be kidding, what happens when you make a big budget commercial one? Well done and absolutely super! Thankyou! Dziekuje! From Australia.
Our students record concerts of classical music on a daily basis. This movie was made in our spare time.
@@AkademiaFilmuiTelewizji Holy hell, you must be kidding me. I'm only a few minutes in and it's hardly believable this must've been shot in your freetime, yet alone you not specialized in movie making.
@@andresvalverde5182 Watch our channel. You will find that it is true. Music from Gladiator for example ua-cam.com/video/UjQvOV5V03Q/v-deo.html
Well we don't do big budget commercial movies in Poland. The last one I can think of was "With fire and sword" from 1999. Since than its dead silence.
@@TheDiackon i liked that movie. It was showed in our local library last week
My apologies, I passed this video up many times. Tonite I was in the mood to take on something historical. What a wonderful surprise to find it was in Latin.
Well done!! The acting was superb, very believable. Great cinematography. Wonderful storytelling. Thank you. Keep creating!!!
Finally, people speaking latin without horrible english/american accent. Thank you!
Yeah. Polish accent is much better. They can trill their Rs!
Latin with American accent makes me want to puke.
O yes.its true😍
@@sam510938764 And why that would be? Most people who learn Latin use pronunciation heavily inflected by their native language. Does French Latin sounds better to your discriminating ear? To me it is just plain hilarious.
@@Rolando_Cueva and Pope Karol Wojtyla would be proud of this...
Wow, How did i stumble across this gem?
This would've made for a great miniseries going to Vespasian becoming Imperator.
Great job, students and actors of Latin from Poland.
You are the guy from other video who is cringing when they say Caesar , good thing they said Kaisar in this video :))
lol yeah
.
It's amazing what they've managed to achieve on such a small budget. I remember seeing a Roman period film called 'End of an Empire' ( it was Peter O'Toole's last released film) a few years back. Apparently that had a budget in the millions. Yet this one student film has managed to surpass that film on every front. This film has superior acting, cinematography, costumes, music - everything. Well done!
The General's pronounciation and patterns come as close to the real thing as possible, very nice seeing such a natural speech flow in Latin.
Poles can probably learn Latin a lot more naturally than say, English speakers. The vocabulary is very different, but the old Indo-European declension grammar of Slavic languages is shared with Latin. A Romance native speaker would be more familiar with the vocabulary, but the grammar of Latin is actually closer to our type of case based grammar (I speak Slovak that works in the same way) than to modern Romance languages. The pattern of thinking would also be similiar due to the way the languages connect words, so speaking Latin for a Pole would feel more natural than to an English or Chinese speaker for example.
"Colloquium habebimus". That sounds much grander than "we'll have a chat".
Everything sounds better in true latin! xD
Forum nostrum
noli turbare circulos meas!
latin for: GTFO!
Thanks Alain, for clearing that up. Given that latrine visits were a very communal affair in those times, I thought he meant - "we'll have a shit". 😅😅😅
I'm only at 5 minutes and my eyes are already tearing up. Classical Latin is so beautiful!
Salve mei fratres et sorores! Eques Polonus sum, Latine loquor! ! !
Świetny film, ciekawa i wciągająca historia, pozdrowienia i gratulacje dla wszystkich autorów, twórców, aktorów i osób zaangażowanych w produkcję i powstanie tej pięknej artystycznej perełki!
Roma invicta et aeterna est !!!
Film świetny! To nie rekonstrukcja historyczna lecz FILM DLA WIDZA ! Świetny film zrealizowany przez pasjonatów! Brawo dla całej ekipy! Oby więcej u nas takich filmów...
Aneta Radlińska “Brawo” meaning our Spanish “¡ Bravo ! “
Wonderful
As a Spanish speaker, is amazing how similar many words are.
As a portuguese speajer, same as both of u!!
That's because your language, and many other European languages, take root from Latin. Just another example of the Roman Empires tremendous effect on Human Civilization.
As a Roman Speaker, I perceive the same, hahahahaha Salutem mios amici !!!!
+Ulthor Ger are u a time traveller?
Gedais Bathlette hahahahahahahaha, Excellens amis!!!!
Greetings.
Superb movie, fantastic actors, magnific director. I'm from Romania, latin country, and for me is a nice surprise to understand almost words in latin, my ancestors Roman and Dacian Empire language. Once again thank You so much for this masterpiece who is over Hollywood filma. Greetings from Romania!!!
TO ME LATIN IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE. I wish all movies about ancient Rome would be in Latin.
I wished we would speak latin in general
+Filip Mosakowski some people do tho. but just online and in special Latin conferences.
Agreed! Always thought it was really off seeing roman movies in british english - como que no queda no cosa, si quiera que las hagan con Espanol, Portugues or Italiano pa que se escuche bien. Come'on Hollywood geez!
I have to say the same for Ancient Greek and Egyptian.
Artemis_ why?
Zdumiewające. Jestem pod wrażeniem wymowy restytuowanej (oryginalnej). Piękny projekt, jakich próżno szukać gdziekolwiek indziej.
Molto particolare, ben recitato, bravi tutti. Molto meglio di tanti films più titolati. Sinceri complimenti !!!
My god, what a feat. I'm just a Southeast Asian woman whose first language isn't even English, but I recently picked up Latin again. Thank you for creating this movie and sharing it so freely. Ego vere appreciate id.
Latin is such a beautiful Language I’m slowly learning but I’ll soon speak it like a pro. My ancestors will be proud
Isaac Quesada Y sus descendientes también lo estarán por heredarles un tesoro de esa magnitud
Same, I’m studying it atm and loving it. Latin is such a beautiful language, it’s like God came down and gave humanity a dictionary of the most beautiful words for things. Truly a magnificent language indeed
I've been learning it as well!
Topics you’re sounding more roman everyday!
How is your Latin coming along?
dziękuję państwu za tę pracę! bardzo mi się podoba uczyć języki oglądając coś albo czytając, i ten film dał taką fajną możliwość.
Nothing but quality here. This is about the first truly accurate depiction of Roman life I have seen - the Latin topping it off. Yes, I subscribed - obviously.
I just read comments below, and people are saying this was a student-produced film. This is hard to believe, as it was so professional. If it was, all these so-called professional movie producers have some explaining to do. This film surely is a gold standard.
Our students record concerts of classical music on a daily basis. This movie was made in our spare time.
@@AkademiaFilmuiTelewizji You need to come over to the US and run our school system. The culture here is an abomination, and half of US adults cannot read past the 8th grade. Check it out. I wish I went through your system. Ahhh, Poland, the home of logicians and Chopin. You can’t go wrong.
Excellent production! Only regret is not seeing more of it. Fantastic work! Thank you!
Ce qu'on fait nos frères polonais ici est tout simplement magnifique! Bravo!
Just watched this masterpiece, so I late about 7 years . , .
This deserves much more views! 1,5 million is just not enough.
Meisterwerk! Pocos saben que la heroica Polonia, la del veto áureo, usó hasta el siglo XIX [algunos dicen que hasta el XX] en su parlamento el latín como su lengua oficial. Eso podría explicar esta maravilla. Sus excelentes actuaciones, la realización, pero sobre todo e igual que en Joyce la lengua es el protagonista. Grandiosa, magnífica. Saludos (SALVE ) latinos polacos de parte de un latinoamericano que ha hablado este latín posmoderno alias castellano desde la infancia. Felicidades, gracias por este regalo y también gracias por regalarnos a Elena Poniatowska.
Agradézcoles el corazón, Actores. Preguntome si todo me captan y respondome que pertinente eso no es. Importame más vuestro talento. Suscrito estoy y admiroles. Vale
¡Saludos desde Polonia!
@@michaelmayen6240 Me encanta el español que usas en tu comentario. Saludos desde México.
"Imperator" is a sublime success! Gratitude to the entire production staff. The cinematography is elegant, the dialog beautifully composed and plausible, and the courage to film a story of Rome in credibly declaimed Latin should inspire more such projects. I would love to see a similar but more ambitious rendering of the days of Hadrian or Trajan. But in any case, gratia plena!
Denny Smith Yeah! That’s right CONCVRRO
It would have been a greater success if I could have read the translation. Still a great triumph for whatever institution organized this.
Very good work!
yeap
Love you're channel man
Metatron
Wow 😳 Metatron a passé par ici 😃
Dziękuję za ❤️
Came across this by accident. Excellent lighting and production standard here. Fantastic effort by all concerned.
Cześć panie Tadeuszu!
wow. very well done. i wish it was made into a full length movie
Having read much Latin, like all modern Latin scholars, it is great fun to hear it spoken, for a change.
The acting of ending where Mark leaves the boy and returns to Rome is unbelievably good, very emotional and powerful. Congrats on this excellent job!
Latin is such a noble language. VERY few languages have such nobility. In my humble experience I would list Farsi, Armenian, Sardo and Middle Japanese as the only few that come close.
Bravissimi, i miei complimenti per il lavoro fatto. Legio!! Aeterna!! Victrix!!
Wow! What a phenomenally good film! So well acted - and for it to be in Latin, too... amazing!
Cant believe this was made by students. You all did an OUTSTANDING JOB! And love it that its in Latim.
Maybe the budget for this movie is not so high, but honestly I don't care because all the others aspects are satisfying: the pronunciation of Latin is perfect in my opinion, the story is interesting and makes you want to know what it will happen and also the actors are pretty good. Congratulations, they should make more movies on Roman History like this👏💪✨
WOW this movie is better than all that crap coming from Hollywood today...and is a Student made movie... Outstanding...Great Job guys.
THANK YOU!!! It took me twice the time of the film to finish the movie, I was pausing and rewinding time after time to catch words and dialogues, it was a great movie, I really enjoy it!!
Great production, despite the obvious budgetary limitations. The guy playing Cassius seemed a naturally good actor.
Hi I'm from Brazil, Congratulations to everyone for this amazing movie, all the actors are perfect...
It's truly amazing! Great work on roman athmosphere. Polish students are super talented )
Film remarquable !!! dialogues en Langue Latine. Gaudium. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
As argentinian it was great to hear Latin and understand many words. I was really surprised to get more deep into the action. Congratulations !!
Wow, you guys did excellent work! I felt totally immersed in the story. Bravo!
Finalmente!!!! Immaginavo un film storico ,nella lìngua originale,cinquanta anni fa' , nei tempi della mìa prima giovinezza
Hard to believe this is a low budget student film, it is very well done. Congratulations Polish Film Academy.
Incredible work! This stands as proof that movies in Latin CAN be made well. As others wrote in previous comments, the use of the proper language makes everything seem way more authentic, despite limitations in the technical aspect. Congratulations!
Excellent film! This is better than Hollywood. Listening to Latin adds a whole new dimension of authenticity that I have never seen before.
I can't believe this was a student film. This had me from start to finish! Amazinggggg!
MASTER Konrad Łęcki !!! Brawo !!! Pozdrawiamy
I'm in my second year of Latin and it's so cool being able to understand bits and pieces of what is being said without the subtitles!
Superb....the ageless theme of history....Life is hard....
Watching this as an English-speaking Polish person who's learning Latin is just surreal. All of my languages coming together in an outstanding production. You guys did a fantastic job!
Niespotykana konwencja filmu. Tragiczna historia. Piekna muzyka . Ave Conradum ;)
For a low budget student film, it is very impressive, really good work. Cheers from Italy
This film has the best Latin accent I've heard in any film. I speak some romance languages and one tends to hear either Italian or Spanish accents that sound awful for ancient Latin. Kudos for the director and actors. I look forward for any future project he may have. I did not hear any Slavic accent they all speak a very convincing classical Latin.
To be fair actors speak just with Polish accent. As a Pole I away thoght that we have not any accent or we have very weak. Mayby its because of that you concider this latin good. Weak accent is closer to no accent especialy in compare with strong accents languages.
Can you tell me what they Say in latin from part 13:30 ?
You don't even know what was Classical Latin accent, but you are sure that a Polish accent is closer to it than an Italian accent. OK.
Nobody really knows, I get it ,but you just need to hear the difference. The Italian latin is heavily influenced by medieval latin. If you see the movie "The Passion" the conversation between Jesus and Pilate you can hear that Jesus speaks a better approach to classical that the roman's Italian accent.
@@ruyaal - We do know pretty well what Classical Latin sounded like. Plenty of vids about it on youtube.
Just so happens that the old Latin vowel values are fairly close to those in modern Polish, which haven’t ‘rotated’ much in centuries.
Congratulations to everybody involved in this filmmaking. You show how art and good work can even be successful under a low-budget environment.
Amazing, as a student of history and a lover of ancient languages... this was a breath of fresh air.
Keep it up
I'm form Italy and i saw this video only to hear my ancestor, but this is a hiden gem!
Good job!
Rome is pround of you!💪🏻
This is absolutely engrossing and beautifully created. The use of Latin adds a tantalizing realism.
This was excellent. Brilliantly acted. Would love to see more programs like this.
The look on his face in the end. Great performance.
EXCELLENT! As it was over 2000 years ago. Latin the Roman language. I agree with previous comment more realistic than a Hollywood Epic. Mel Gibsons The Passion is a film that really shows how it was. Hollywood should take a page from this short film in Latin and learn from it. WELL DONE PEOPLE!!
Thank you for making this. I have assigned this to my upper level students for viewing during our pandemic lockdown.
Gratias tibi!
Incredible job. So wonderful to hear the classic Latin!
Świetna realizacja, zdjęcia, ujęcia obraz, światło na najwyższym możliwym hollywódzkim poziomie. Tj, takim którego nie znajdziesz w polskich zaciemnionych, niewyraźnych filmach. Scenografia i charakteryzacja oraz stroje mimo budżetu na bardzo wysokim poziomie. Zbroje jak prawdziwe. Aktorzy, kurczę grają całkiem naturalnie i nie ma się poczucia tej sztuczności, która gości w normalnych rodzimych produkcjach. Język brzmi dziwnie, mimo, iż się go uczyłem, ale tylko dlatego, że przyzwyczailiśmy się do angielskiego w takich filmach.
Świetna robota, gratulacje, szkoda, że to tylko etiuda a nie pełen metraż i full budżet.
Natomiast cała ekipa, która go realizowała powinna być wykorzystywana full time do realizacji wszelkich innych polskich produkcji tu apel do innych reżyserów, chcecie mieć film na poziomie międzynarodowym to się albo od nich uczcie albo ich zatrudnijcie.
Twórcom proponuję wysłac to do Netflixa lub Prime Amazon. To jest warte zainwestowania.
Szacunek
Being English, Latin nearly killed me in school, still learnt most of it in punishment detention classes however. This is a brilliant production and brings the film alive, also a far better way of learning. Well done students - more please!
Poor baby learning Latin!!!
Wow... never expect it... Classic, dignified, beautiful & at the same time a so academic language to express life... Hope more films in Latin...
Accolades to all, especially the students and those who gave them the honor to do such a good work. Thank you 8/11/2021
This is so much better than any film of the past where the King's Englidh was substituted for Latin. I took 4 years of Latin in High School and I learned to speaK Polish at home. This movie was quite a treat!
As portuguese and sicilian speaker I can understando around 70% without subtitles, frear job.
Subtitles
Neil AL thanks 😊
I am incredibly impressed by the quality of ths piece, everything is excellently done. Enjoying the latin dialogue, there might be a bit of inaccuracies with it, but the overall feel and sense to this work
is immersive... Thank you !
Excellent Hollywood class production and in every other respect. The Latin is great, the parts are well played. Much better than the student work at UCLA in my opinion. Bravo for this brilliant production. Poland seems to be blooming like a rose....
Yes, in spite of the genocides against her by Nazis and Communists.
This film crew deserves a bigger budget, and a bigger story. I'd be willing to pay good money to see their treatment of the Teutoburg massacre, and the events leading up to it. Perhaps this film team could also give us a definitive movie about the Siege of Vienna in 1683, complete with Poland to the rescue, of course.
I'm wanting MORE. That is the hallmark of a production done right.
Finally how a movie should be. Just like the movie The Passion where people spoke Latin, Aramaic and Hebrew.
Far better than most high budget versions, eg. the HBO Rome series. This is really great, nice job.
Great project, great film. Greetings from a current "roman" citizen.
Estupendo trabajo. Felicitaciones!...Un regalo para todos los que nos gusta la historia y el buen cine.
Mamy tak utalentowanego człowieka jakim jest Pan Konrad Łęcki i nic z tym nie robimy - hańba dla ludzi u władzy i samego środowiska pseudoartystycznego, które zbija kasę na dotacjach i antypolskich kłamstwach.
This was wonderful! All of you did an excellent job!
Arguably the most fascinating time in western history. The beautiful Latin Language used here, though not perfect, makes it all the more interesting.
In fact I would favour reviving the language as an alternate language to English.
13:21 can we talk about how this scene looks so good and well shot, that this feels a lot like a more historical version of Gladiator? This scene alone brings up so many good elements of older movies.
Absolutely loved this! Well done to all involved in this superb professional production.
I wish it had Latin subtitles, and that the voices were a bit louder.
Or a Latin version of the script, even.
Excelente producción. Mi sincera felicitación desde Barcelona
For the Emperor Otho and algorithm. Nicely done.
You did better than Hollywood would with much more resources.
This is an amazing production. You did so well with the funds you had.
Incredible! You've done such an amazing job! Magnus opus est!
Znakomity pomysł! Wprawdzie dialogi brzmią w sposób do bólu drewniany, lecz mimo to takich filmów powinno powstawać jak najwięcej.
Великолепно. Редко когда удаётся найти такое погружение на латыни
A... Amazing !
Just awesome that everything (~) is in classic Latin !
Looking forward to projects !
I enjoyed this very much gives life to the Latin language wish there were more movies like this one.
2-300 school or amateur films watched through my life
Best one is this one!
i never fell out of the illusion, and that is very hard to acieve on me at least!
and it was incredible how much th language did to help the picture become real!
Estoy alucinando con la calidad del video, de los actores y de la trama...es impresionante, el vestuario...me ha encantado.
Excellent short film about a turbulent time in Imperial Rome, and a little known, short-lived Emperor. Well done!
69 - The Year of the Four Emperors,
Excellent production. You don't need great CGI or large battles, but good acting is enough to take you there.
