I am studying history. Although the plot of this movie is not attractive, the sound effects of the costumes are excellent in every aspect.

After reading the film reviews written by the people here, I feel like "ignorance".
Why do you say that? Someone wrote in film reviews that the little emperor called himself Caesar. I am dizzy, Caesar was the name of the emperor in the Roman imperial era, okay? Do you understand history? In the movie Russell Crowe Gladiator, is the general called Marco Aurelius not Caesar?

The wonderful thing about this movie is that it restores some historical scenes, such as the scene of Odoac’s abolition of Romulus, and the political conspiracy of the Eastern Roman Empire. As the eastern empire of the Roman Empire, they considered the political requirements for the western territories of the empire. Historically, the Eastern Roman Empire was unable to contend with the Germans. Seeing the land in the west fell, they could only want to eat, but they could not eat. When sending envoys to visit, they could only admit that Odoac was the governor of the western part of the empire. . But there is no way for the little emperor as a puppet. It is politically unreasonable if he does not save him, and he is afraid that he will not have an excuse to annex the western territories. So when the little emperor was discovered later, he had to be assassinated. This may be the political complexity of the so-called civilized country!

As for the little emperor to go to Britain later, these are pure YY!

As a history fan, I still feel very happy to see the costumes of the Eastern Roman Empire in the movie, such as the messenger and the female warrior. Because the movie reflects the real history of the time, after the war with the Persian Empire, the Romans learned a lot of Persian tactics, such as horse-riding and archery. At that time, the Eastern Roman Empire was a bit like Persia, not the tortoise shell of the past. The infantry of the formation is the main military country.

Based on Westerners’ understanding of history, this movie accurately displays historical scenes, watching costumes, watching sound effects, and after watching some of the scenes, I can’t help but feel that foreigners have really high requirements for the authenticity of the movie!

PS: The Zhao Zilong played by Andy Lau was also braided, I am dizzy!

  • [as the army leaves the village, Ygraine holds out a suit of armor to Romulus]

    Ygraine: It was made for my brother.

    Ygraine: [smiles] He's grown since then.
