Chasing the insider of the drama, the outsider of the historical film

The commander of the Ninth Army of Rome is a fool. He also said that the army has many honors. The marching troops entering the mountains are like laymen. They are a long snake formation and defend their farts. At least there are scouts on the two wings of the army. , So as to transmit information about the enemy's situation to the commander, that's right. As a legion commander, there are 5,000 soldiers. Even if there is no two-winged centaur, there are giant scullers in the legion. The soldiers behind hold them with their shoulders and bodies, and the soldiers behind them will participate. Moreover, the Roman legion is very good at defensive and defensive. When attacking, he will let the main force separate two wings to attack the hillside, while the archers will cover and shoot. Besides, when the army enters the valley, there will always be no rear army. You can attack up the mountain from the rear. This is also the common sense of military affairs in the fall, let’s say 5000 A Roman soldier must have at least 20,000 tribesmen to attack. Although the terrain is favorable, you will have to wipe out how many people are left. What do you think? In short, the main force has no front army, no rear army, no two wings, no shields, no bows and arrows, no scout team, do you say that such an army can be defeated? The Roman Legion is very powerful, is it such a powerful method? Ashamed, you know that the Roman army often fought in the mountains. I think their expeditionary army was not so stupid back then. I am stupid in ambushing, a group of new pigs, waiting for the slaughter, to encourage with the spectators.

I feel the same with the above comments. As a military history fan, the intentional or unintentional dementia of the Roman Legion in the film is unacceptable, and in terms of physics, iron armor is no better than broccoli. Cut, everyone can go home and try with a kitchen knife to see if they can easily scratch a leather coat, not to mention the Roman standard infantry armor.

In addition to the historical view of the script, the film is also poor in characterization. The barbarians with teeth and dancing claws, the masked female leader, the commander of the Ninth Army with soy sauce, and the traitor who is inexplicably trying to kill the centurion at the end of the film. Very superficial.
The director wanted to shape the general into a civilian and make him loved by soldiers, so he made him a strong boss who likes to play rough jokes. This kind of routine is not uncommon in British and American commercial films. This general does not possess the basic qualities of a general. After being told that "the Picts were hunting down a Roman," he rushed to save people without thinking. Can you send a team of scouts to solve it? Before setting off, let the officers and men of the whole army roar to deter the enemy. Even though the general's force is 98, the mixed soldier's force is 48, and 10 centurions are better than one Caesar.
But the general just rushed forward single-handedly in the care of the soldiers' lives-violating the taboo of separating the soldiers. It should be understood that this is not a confrontation between the two armies, requiring the general to lead an assault, but on the march, even if the enemy does not set a trap, in case the horse loses its foot, or the sword is frozen by frost, or coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction-shaken for a lifetime Fame, history will not remember you in the name of "Roland", but the French knights of Alcuquin instead.
Of course, in addition to his lower intelligence, his commander and force are good. After all, the soldiers love him, just like when the Americans elected Bush as president:

"Because he looks like a gas station guy. , Simple and reliable."

In addition to the awkward position of the general role, the witch is also inexplicable. The Picts are in a primitive clan society, even matrilineal society. The status of a witch is like that of a member of the Roman Senate. How could they be easily exiled?
It can be seen that the Picts not only did not fall behind, but also understood the advanced doctrine of the later Roman Catholicism: "Let the pagans and idolatry go to hell." The

fighting scenes and the details of survival are worthy of praise. It seems that the blood adds a bright color to the film. It’s just that it’s easier to cut iron with a saber than cauliflower with a kitchen knife. It is inevitable that people would think of the sexual violence film "Blood and Sand".


Of course, some people would say: "Watching a movie is a cool picture, history is just a tool", but this movie is for people. What impressed you? There is no epic sympathy for the collapse of the empire, nor some special details of the skit, and overall there is nothing impressive.

However, as a small-level chase drama, this film can still be used as an after-dinner pastime

(As for Cult, as far as this film is concerned, I did not find any artistic flavor)
