dont know why, i stand with the ancient germans, they are very brave standing against that roman war machine , even when they know theyre gonna lose and this battle is the last in the 8 year campaign when the romans prevailed.
Fun fact: this battle theme is intentionally based on "Mars" by Gustav Holst. Mars being the Roman god of war. His music has been immensely influental in classical film scores. ua-cam.com/video/Jmk5frp6-3Q/v-deo.htmlsi=FQdIRYW8ZZkVFyxC&t=71
Not realistic. It became a free-for-all with no battlefield cohesion and nobody in their formations. In real life, this would have been a disaster and signified a failure in leadership. The Roman Emperor and Senate would not have allowed this general to command another battle. This is hollywood shtick. Still a good scene, but by no means realistic.
Every army has one "big guy" and u alredy know he will die during epic fight battle :D like in "Troy" :D there were actually 2 big guys, one in Achiless army and one he defeated 1v1 :D
I love how the film makers had used the same medieval horse armor face mask (Maximu's horse) as you can see in the Kingdom of Heaven (Baldwin's horse - 'The Jerusalem Has Come scene')! I wonder if anyone ever glimpse that lil detail ;) Greetings from Czech republic! And check the blind hussite general John Zizka! For honor dear knights! 💪
@Jonesyb90 the war chants of the Germanic soldiers was directly taken from Zulu by Ridley because he loves the layering it brings. It's authentic Zulu too, the Zulu warriors in the film were actual Zulus.
It was awesome till the most elite and disciplined soldiers during that time broke ranks and fought in a moshpit of a battle. The Roman formation is well known for holding ranks for half a day, they dont break a perfect formation for absolutely no reason.
بداية المعركة كانت اكثر من رائعة تقترب من الكمال .. نقاط الضعف كانت في جميوع المشاة .. عددهم كان قليلا جدا وتحركاتهم غير جدية باتجاه العدو هذه هي نقطة ضعف المشهد الوحيدة ولكنه يبقى من افضل ما رايت .. الموسيقى التصويرية خيالية لأبعد الحدود
Maybe so but these were Germans. The Celts who aren't German peoples were pretty much defeated two centuries earlier than this period. Mostly by Julius Caesar.
This sequence have CGI. The're just perfectly blends into picture. At 5:23 you have a three shots combined into one wide. Every arrow and every stone throwed into german army is CGI. Also most of soldiers. They also had to widened arrows range because in reality it was too small to make great expression.

Was so trash walked out of the cinema after 20 minutes, the dialogue.... the acting, the cheap follow on story... then the cgi animals everywhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣 already forgotten!!
The only part of this battle scene that I didn't like is that the legionarys never threw their pila. It's been said that the Roman line of infantry could win a battle without ever touching the enemy infantry. The pilum was a terrifyingly effective weapon. It'd either klll the man it was thrown at or disable his shield.
It became a free-for-all. Not realistic. Roman infantry would never have broken their formations to fight one-to-one like this. They were famous for their discipline and battlefield formations....not their one on one dueling ability.
@@NalesnikZdrzemem No it isn't a fact. They only broke formation once the enemies began to break and flee. During battle, formations always held until one side lost and fled. They didn't break formation at the very beginning of a battle and go to street-brawling. If they did, what was the point of the formation genius? If you don't know what you're talking about, silence is your best option. It's hilarious that you find this battle realistic.
