Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor's son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father's favourite general.

One of the best pre-battle speeches. He mentions family as a great motivator to carry out their duties, not hollow concepts. That "riding alone, with the sun in your face" joke not only serves to relieve some of the pre-battle nerves, it's also a comforting reminder about afterlife. And, finally..."what we do in life, echoes in eternity"...all that delivered with the strong voice & charisma of a general, who despite his rank, is a "primus inter pares", addresses his troops as "fratres" and leads them from the front... This particular speech scene will always send shivers down my spine and make me stand straighter

I like the opening of this scene. You can tell Maximus is beloved by the men, Commodus was not just jealous of the respect he commanded, but he also knew he would never be able to become emperor without full control of the military - Maximus, while an honorable man, was a threat to Commodus's ascension to power simply because Maximus owned their hearts and minds.

@Finn_MacCool 5 ай бұрын

One subtle point I think people miss because it goes by so quick is the dynamic between Maximus and Quintus. You can tell there is some tension and maybe even hostility between them. And that pours over into the scene where Quintus betrays Maximus.

@gregthepeglegpregdreg Ай бұрын

this plays a lot into real Roman history, an Emperor always wanted to ensure the Legions were more loyal to him than to their general, the simple fact was who ever controls the armies, controls Rome. Augustus recognizes this and begins the practice of the Legions being directly payed by the emperor with "donatives" and introducing pensions for them. There was case where a Roman General recognized this fact too, I don't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure it was when Augustus was emperor a General saw his men held him with more respect than they did the emperor, this general having too much respect for Augustus himself decided the honourable thing to do, and what was in the best interest of Rome was to resign and become a farmer, relinquishing his power, and ensuring he did not threaten the emperor's rule.

@shownottell8804 5 күн бұрын

@@Finn_MacCool i would disagree. i think there was healthy respect between the two and agreeing to disagree on matters was not a problem. But Quintus's allegiance is to the authority of the roman empire, while Maximus is guided by his personal definition of morality rather than any external power. Quintus was following orders at the start as he did not know whether Maximus was guilty or innocent. And don't forget that Quintus told his men NOT to give Commodus a weapon at the end in the fight final. Quintus even obeyed Maximus's final order to release his fellow gladiators. It shows Quintus as a fair man who can still think for himself.

@@koreancowboy42 yeah, the depiction of the infantry was the real disappointment in this otherwise cool sequence -- they just kind of walk along until they get rushed by the German mob and then it's just a scrum. The real foundation of the Roman army was its infantry and their extremely disciplined tactics, which were not on display here at all. The Rome TV show (for all its flaws in the second season) did an infinitely better job of depicting the infantry. Another MAJOR problem with this scene is if you actually look closely at the shots it is obvious that many people aren't even going through the motions of fighting -- at 6:34 in particular, some German holding a spear walks into the back of a Roman soldier who falls down and the German is just laughing like the camera isn't even rolling.

The Roman legions were better overall because they were effective even in bad terrain with their disciplined use of Roman tactics, which were flexible, unlike the Phalanx.

Horses don't go into fire. Even less than people. It is just impossible. 1 idiot horse can be found, but there are a lot of them. Panic->death. 5. U don't light arrows and shoot them, u put smth on them and light it up. And u certainly cannot kill smth with such arrow. This is not how it works. U don't put fire line ahead of u as well. It would cause a lot of chaos and burning people. U give one guy a torch and he runs and light the arrows.

At it’s height the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan ran as far East as the modern Arabian Gulf, where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers flow into the sea. Trajan himself stood on “a gigantic stone” and looked eastward. He could not know that he was exactly nine days march (on foot) from the furthest westward outpost of the Han Dynasty of China. As mind boggling as it is a Chinese Explorer from the Han Dynasty, the monk Zhang Qian, may have stood on that same rock and looked westward precisely 150 years before Trajan. Both men , Emperor and Monk, thought they had traveled far enough, turned around and went back home.

Yup. Very few nation states have ever been able to use every weapon available as a combined army like the Romans at their peak. That's the big secret of the US military. Aside from our aircraft, our gear isn't dramatically better than everyone elses. An M1 isn't necessarily much better than a Leopard. An Arleigh Burke isn't better than a Korean King Sejong. An M4 isn't neccesarily better than an Ak74. It's our communication, coordination and our doctrine of letting lower ranks make decision based on their own initiative that make it all work. Historically, the nations that mastered this sort of combined arms have wrecked everyone. People think the Mongols were guys on horses but in reality they were masters of every form of warfare too. They had a strong navy, were masters of siege warfare and even used gunpower weapons and bombs to great effect.

Napoleon had plenty of issues, but I still enjoyed seeing it. The actress who played Joséphine looked like she came off the set of Blade Runner 2049.

Ich halte es für höchst unwahrscheinlich, dass wir ein einziges germanisches Wort aus dem Jahr 100 verstehen würden. Das ist Hollywood, da sprechen sie Hochdeutsch mit amerikanischem Akzent. Bei Spartakus / Blood and Sand haben die germanischen Sklaven auch so gesprochen.

The best and most accurate portrayal of a Roman battle scean in the history of cinema..

@elplow8486 Ай бұрын

Dont think they would use the legionaries in a battlefield like this. They were succesful because of them fighting together not in a caotic fight like this

@iatsd Ай бұрын

Best in that it gets across the idea of the Roman military as a well organised machine, but it is not accurate in many ways. Most of the heavy equipment was only used during sieges, and Roman cavalry was never just "legionaires on horses" as depicted in the film. The Legionaires *were* depicted correctly AFAWK in terms of how the units were deployed and moved across the battlefield. That matches written records and artistic depictions from throughout the empire. But we simply don't have any firm record on how they actually fought because despite having the training manuals from various periods which say how the Romans *wanted* them to fight, the only accounts we have of them *in the field* ALL describe different things happening in practice.

Age of Empires and Total War fans can get a kick from this, I'll say. Bit of a shame the original ending of the movie wasn't implemented. Would have been nice seeing Maximus Decimus Meridius become an immortal fighting in future conflicts like the Crusades, the Napoleonic Wars, the World Wars, and finally the Gulf War in the best montage possible (with perhaps a hint of Baccano!). *Side note: Bit of a shame I don't see any animation stuff in the Johnny's War Stories channel. Why's that?*

The "- Is acceptable. Agreed?" with the smirk is so good, as you find out quickly that he's part of the cavalry that is in risk of the catapults... So few great commanders in history but all of the greats had this in common: "I would never ask them to do something I am not willing to do with them." Knowing that putting part of your force at higher risk is the best move, and doing it, is one thing. Knowing that it's the best move AND THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE GROUP AT RISK, and doing it, is another thing.

Ironic. Considering that the Ancient Germans had spent much of their time resisting Roman conquest; only to play cultural 'catch up' from The Middle Ages onwards, against the rest of Romanized Europe and, given a strange twist of fate by the time that the 20th Century had dawned: Those Ancient barbarians, evolved and unified under the German High Command had evoled into a mighty 'Roman' army, far surpassing in both tactical and technical prowess the Italian army of the time. Direct descendants of The Romans. Which goes to show that one society or culture, picks up the torch from another, to carry on with the marathon: The French invented ballet, but it was The Russians who further developed it and made themselves the masters of it. Again, so ironic.
