Cannon behaving like cannon, solid iron cannon balls not behaving like mini-nukes packed with napalm, cavalry behaving like cavalry when confronted by an infantry square and a push of pike that actually looks like a push of pike. Damn! This director deserves an Oscar

This was amazingly accurate. The cavalry attacked correctly, and broke away when confronted with pikes. The push of pike was excellent, and not something you usually see in a movie. The outfits looked great and they where using period appropriate firearms and armor! Whoever put that much detail in this deserves a raise, they went all out.

Actually, no. Pikemen were never considered doppelsoldner in any Renaissance army. The privilege was afforded to veterans with actual combat skills. These were usually skirmishers such as arquebusiers and crossbowmen in the two wings or four "sleeves" (mangas) of the square (which were in front of the pikemen when they turned to face outward). Or they were the shock troops, such as halberdiers, swashbucklers, and great-swordsmen, who remained in the center of the square to respond to attacks on any side. These guys did the most actual fighting and thus, suffered the brunt of the casualties. (Alatriste and his ward are both arquebusiers.) As for pikemen, whether or not you end up "in front" is a roll of the dice. This is because the fighting could happen on any side of the square. Their job was really to serve as a human wall to stop a cavalry charge from breaking the square or pin an infantry push of pike in place for their own cavalry or shock troops to engage them.

Let's be honest. First of all this is a movie based on a historical NOVEL (which has nothing historical about it). The costumes: Poop colored filter, The cuts of the clothes wrong (And I mean clothing arrangements), the waists wrong, the shirts wrong, the shoes wrong, the hats huge for some reason and the weapons anachronistic for some periods. A stopped clock marks the time twice a day. Here not even the case. In this film it's as if the will is to fail on purpose. The setting: The interiors are fine, the monuments, the streets.... (Basically because they are historical places) But.... There are a lot of mistakes. There are shots that are fine but others that are a shame. If you squint a little you get a taste of the time. But the eyes are full of dirt. This film is not accurate and the Script is a mess. It's not good dude.

In this battle, the Spanish were neither outgunned nor outnumbered but outmaneuvered by bold French cavalry led by none other than their fearless general Louis de Condé. He was truly brave for leading the cavalry charge himself instead of staying back and observing the battlefield as most generals of his time did, including the Spanish one in this battle. The Spanish had both a little more musketeers and cannons than the French and a little less cavalry but their commander was indecisive and chose to hold ground since he had more guns and let the French surround, flank and rout all of their Tercio formations. The French were especially brave during this battle, charging into cannon and musket fire. Unfortunate that this movie did not depict the key outmaneuvering that led to the French victory, choosing instead to portray the Spanish as outgunned and outnumbered. If anything, the Spanish had both more troops and more guns.

I can explain this to you if you ever read it: In that battle. There were 3 spanish tercios. The rest of the troops were german and italian. Both italians and germans fleed for their lifes with no order. More than 7000 were killed just in front of the spanish tercios. At that moment, the french offered a deal to the spanish tercios. To keep their weapons and flags and just march away from battle. They all refused. French resumed the charges and lost many people. By that time, the spanish had already used most of their gunpowder. French asked again. 2 of the tercios accepted the deal and just retreated in formation. Another tercio refused (this is the one in the movie) and stayed. People from the other 2 tercios who accepted the deal, but didnt want to retreat, just joined this remaining tercio. ANd then the battle continued until they finally accepted the deal and went their way in formation. This is what the movie portraits, the last guys on the battlefield after the germans and italians fleed and the other 2 tercios just left the battlefield with honors.

@@Black_Nut_Cryso Rocroi was a battle not a war. And it was a very late battle (May 19, 1643) in the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The Thirty Years War started out as a "war of religion" (Catholic versus Protestant) but eventually became less religiously motivated by the time of the Battle of Rocroi. By that time it was less Catholic versus Protestant and more of a war to contest the Hapsburg hegemony over Europe. The Thirty Years War was the last of the "Wars of Religion." The Treaty of Westphalia (October 1648) ended the Thirty Years War as well as "the Wars of Religion." Plus France wasn't totally Roman Catholic at that time. Large Protestant populations (called "Huguenots") existed in several cities and towns in southern France. The French army during the Thirty Years War consisted of Catholic regiments and Protestant regiments. Plus the first King of the Bourbon dynasty, Henry IV, was Protestant and led Protestant French forces against Counter Reformation Catholic forces in the French Wars of Religion (1562-1598) which were essentially a series of civil wars between Protestants and Catholics in France. Eventually, Henry IV converted to Catholicism and ended these religious civil wars and gave religious rights to Protestants in France (in the Edict of Nantes). So there was a bond between the Bourbon dynasty and the Protestants of France (the Huguenots) that didn't end until Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1689.

Grande fu la fanteria spagnola e imperiale, che grazie al suo superbo addestramento e inquadrata nella formazione chiamata tercio (forgiata nelle guerre d'Italia) dominò per quasi 2 secoli i campi di battaglia di tutta Europa vincendo folgoranti e spettacolari battaglie, come ad esempio nel 1634 a Nordlingen. In questa occasione i tercios viejos di Napoli e Milano, tutti formati da formidabili veterani, grazie a una magistrale azione difensiva riuscirono, nonostante fossero sottoposti a un intenso bombardamento da parte dell'artiglieria svedese, a respingere ben 15 cariche combinate di fanteria e cavalleria svedese. Le perdite degli attaccanti furono spaventose, e in un secondo momento i tercios lanciarono un veemente contrattacco che distrusse totalmente l'esercito avversario. I tercios non erano affatto inferiori alle formazioni "in linea" protestanti (svedesi, sassoni e olandesi) anzi erano di gran lunga superiori a queste perché gli ufficiali imperiali e spagnoli modificarono la disposizione degli escuadron dei picchieri in modo da rendere mobilissime le unità dei moschettieri tale da ottenere sempre una superiorità di fuoco rispetto agli avversari. Gustavo ll Adolfo Vasa se ne accorse tardi a Lutzen nel 1632. Sbaglio' la carica di cavalleria e venne colpito 2 volte da palle di moschetto e poi infilzato dalle picche. In questa battaglia vennero annientati i migliori reggimenti di fanteria svedesi, solo che von Wallenstein comandante supremo degli imperiali non volle contrattaccare e così si lasciò sfuggire una travolgente vittoria. Gustavo Adolfo fu un buon generale ma non un "fulmine di guerra" come ci racconta la faziosa propaganda protestante. I tercios combatterono anche come fanteria di mare. Nel 1571 a Lepanto furono imbarcati sulla nave ammiraglia cristiana 400 elementi sceltissimi appartenenti al tercio di Sardegna, ottimi tiratori e maestri indiscussi nell'utilizzo della picca, spada e daga, arrembarono furiosamente l'ammiraglia ottomana uccidendo il comandante supremo della flotta avversaria.

As a Peruvian, it's my personal opinion not so common here, but I'm also proud of my former compatriots of the Spanish Empire. This movie not only represent the bravery of the Spanish Tercios, but also the cohesion of the Empire, obviously imperfect, but far more advanced than any other in that time: Many citizens of outer territories of the empire were treated as "equals" even in Madrid, just like Malatesta, Italian but also Spanish in that time. A lot of Peruvians got high ranks in both military and politic charges, and many of them fought in the Tercios in Netherlands, Italy, North America and the Caribbean (there were even Peruvian Viceroys in charge of the Viceroyalty of Nueva España). Everything was far from perfect for non-iberical Spanishmen, but it was far better that anything the British, French of Germans could ever settle for their colonies and their very well known genocides. Beautiful movie. From Peru, Former Viceroyalty of Peru, Former province of the Spanish Empire. Peru was not from Spain, Peru was Spain.

The Spanish Tercios constituted a multinational strike force unparalleled in its day. In addition to fighting, they also carried out garrison, escort, fortification and demolition tasks. Its soldiers, long featured the best infantry in the world, were not defeated in the open field until Rocroi, more than a hundred years after its creation. But the defeat at Rocroi was not as overwhelming as French propaganda has led to believe, as the Spanish Tercios recovered Rocroi and continued fighting in Flanders during the second half of the 17th century. PLUS ULTRA
@publiusventidiusbassus12325 ай бұрын
While Rocroi was not the literal end of the Tercios, it was symbolically. After this campaign, the Tercio system would steadily adapt into the French-type line formation of infantry as pike-squares were no longer viable. As for "French propaganda", lets just say it shows the attitude of a nation when they decide to portray their defeated enemies as valiant, gallant warriors.

For those that are curious or simply don't know, the piece of music that plays from 10:29 until the end is named "La Madrugá". It is a funeral march, composed to be performed during Holy Week's "Pasos". This particular one is dedicated to "Cristo del gran Calvario" brotherhood, one od the many cofradies in Seville, Spain. I find this piece very fitting as it represents both the suffering of this tercio and the cultural background of its members. The sort of "Passion" that trails a direct analogy with Christian Catholic tradition as in the images convey a similar feeling to that of the passage where Jesus drags the cross, commonly refered to as "The Passion". I happen to have played this piece of music in one of the many bands that come with the parades in Holy Week, and it was marvellous to hear this piece being put to great use.

At the time, Heavy Cavalry rule the battlefied, which lead to the Pike formation being use & very popular among all army, and mercenaries group. While fire-arms weapon are slowly rise in the battlefield, there accuracy still very low, short effective range & rate-of-fire are too long, most army still favor Cavalry to destroyed range troops, artillery & out-flank enemy line, then Pike-men to stop the Cavalry charge ( which why plate armor still being use, while knights & horse-men equipped with pistol to counter the pike-men, it was in late Medieval & early Renaissance after all so lots new tactics being develop with medieval technology around ).

Fox Blue Heavy cavalry ruled the battlefield? Are you serious? The pike and shot tactics were developed during the Italian wars by the Spaniards,to fight against French heavy cavalry specifically,so no

@@su_morenito_1948 you didn't understand my points yet, i was talk about the dominated of Heavy Cavalry since "medieval" time, was the reason let to the development of the Pike formation later on. You we're "half" right about the Spanish Tercio: it was developed to counter "both" the French Heavy Cavalry & the Swiss mercenary Pike formation, also the German Landsneckts. Because both of them we're dominating the Battlefield, and were unstoppable when use together, as the French did in the video. Yes, the Pike & Shot tactics was one of the most effective formation, but not undefeated. The pike line may stop the charging horse, but the Carvaly itself still a very powerful unit, especially the French Cavalry. You have to know in "the Battle of Rocroi", it was the French knight & horse-men that defeated the Spanish cavalry & other infangry on the flank, then eliminated there artillery line and left 5 out of 8 Tercio unit alone ( 3 Tercio was already fallen with others troops ). What happened next was show in the video: after 8 hours of fighting, only 2 Tercio unit still standing against the French army, being bombardment by both French & captured Spanish cannons earlier ( which show the weakness of the Pike & Shot tactics - against artillery, and musket line formation some hundred years later ). The Spanish we're surrounded, over-numbered by Knight & Pike-men, fought bravery against all attacks & event refused an honorable surrender.

Kein hirnloses "Ineinander-hinein-Rennen" wie in vielen Historien-Filmen, sondern ein langsames Vorrücken - jeder versucht, den gegnerischen Piken-Spitzen auszuweichen und seinerseits einen Feind zu erwischen. Ein paar besonders Tapfere versuchen, unter dem Wall aus Piken an den Gegner heran zu kommen. 🤔👍

@Prasanth Thomas successful? At 722 batalla de Covadonga, when reconquista started by the father of Spain don Pelayo, forming the kingdom of Asturias ( first spanish kingdom) wich was successful between 739-757 with Alfonso I increasing territory and population (with the arrival of Christians exiled from the peninsula). Alfonso II was successful too between 791-842, with victories like the batalla de luto or the capture of Lisbon at 798, increasing the kingdom (time when the sepulcher of the apostle santiago appeared).In 857 Leon was taken, which became the capital, after that there were other conquests and important battles, like the capture of Porto 878, or the battle of Simancas 939 but with few territorial advances until the division of Al Andalus in 1031. When the reconquest was reactivated with important conquests like Coimbra 1064, in 1085 Toledo (the old Visigothic capital) and Madrid were captured, and in 1097 the great cid Campeador won the battle of Bailén. With the arrival of Almohads and Almoravids there were a lot of victories and loses (cristians captured a city and then they losed it by muslims), until the most important battle of the reconquest in 1212, the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, called in Arabic the battle of punishment, in which the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula joined to weaken the Almohads, after that, one city after another fell down,like Sevilla and alicante 1248. Even the kingdom of Granada paid as a vassal to Castile, until the capitulation of the Nasrid kingdom in 1492. I suppose you thought that the important thing about the reconquest was the capture of Granada, but by that time all the work was already done, I hope I have helped you and I understand that you thought that, but there is much more than the capture of Granada. 👋👋

It makes me very funny when people say that the power of Spain ended in the Battle of Rocroi 1643. Spain created another 60 thirds until the end of the century, which defeated the French in Valenccienes 1658 (France), in Catalonia, in Italy and in Belgium. It is true that France was a new great power, and Louis XIV won in France and scratched some 5000 km2 in the north of Catalonia and the south of Belgium. But the so-called sun king had an empire seven times smaller than Philip IV, even in Europe. It must be remembered that Spain reinvested 70% of the empire's wealth in America to create a Western civilization (at that time we had already built 900 stone cities and more than 15 universities), while England, Holland and France took all the wealth from their empires to London, Amsterdam and Paris until the end of the 19th century. Remember that France had more than twice the population of Spain. It must be remembered that Spain had 150 years of continuous war, and France entered the 30-year war treacherously, and with fresh troops. It should be remembered that Spain was at war simultaneously with France, England, the Netherlands, Protestant Germany, the Turkish empire, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark and revolts in Catalonia and Italy, as well as wars against the Berber pirates, the Philippine Moors, the pirates. Japanese, the Mapuches of Chile and the Apaches of the current United States and Mexico. Where the French empire of Napoléon lasted 15 years against the whole of Europe, and the Nazi German empire lasted 5 years against the whole world, the Spanish empire continued to reign in Italy and the Netherlands, after invading almost all the capitals of Western Europe, and It had the largest empire in Western Europe until 1759 and the largest in the world until 1820, with the first world currency, the Spanish dollar, mother of the currency of the United States, China, Japan, Hong-Kong, the Philippines and 30 other countries .

You keep saying large when it means nothing when most of the land is unpopulated trash full of natives and when their economy was constantly crumbling. Thats like saying Russia is more powerful than America because its bigger. Just because they had one victory in 1656 doesn't mean they were still the European superpower, especially because Valenciens was followed by a much greater French victory at the Dunes in 1658. I don't believe that Rocroi singlehandedly made France a greater power than Spain but its pretty clear France entered they Franco Spanish war in 1635 as weaker than Spain and exited in 1659 as more powerful, this is shown by the future wars with France and how Spain had to constantly need the help of coalitions to contain France, for example in the war of devolution France essentialy steamrolled Spain until a coalition forced France to back down, likewise France managed to beat Spain in the Franco Dutch war despite Spain having the help of a massive coaliton. And what are you talking about with the colonies? Most of what Spain did in its colonies was to export gold to Spain, which actually proved to be detrimental as it caused heavy inflation. While yes France is guilty of mostly exploiting the Americas, in the north with the fur trade and in the Carribean with slave plantations, Britian built the 13 colonies, which would later go on to be America. Also the Spanish empire and French empire weren't even close in Europe, the French empire extended from Southern Spain and held all of Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Poland and the Nethetherlands and most of Spain while Spain at its height had Naples, Milan, the benelux and Portugal, most of which was inherited by marriage, not war.

I have wanted to watch this movie, but it is only in Spanish with English subtitles. I have been studying Spanish for the last 2 months, so maybe I am ready???? Hahahaha! The battle scene is one of the few that even attempts at realism. No exploding canon balls, fairly accurate portrayal of how cavalry was used in the day -- the caracole where the cavalry charged in quickly and fired the many pistols or carbines into the infantry at more or less point blank range, and then wheeled away to reload (they missed the wheeling away to reload but this was a very difficult and complicated maneuver to pull off). And the joining of the pike blocks in battle. Terrifying. Many Spanish Tercios were known to have died to the last man before surrendering the field even under honorable terms.

However, from the mid-twentieth century onwards, the 'Modern' era has often been defined as starting in the late 18th century.
