To date this has to be the best movie depiction of a trebuchet. Days and days of burning rocks smacking into a castle of solid rock. Just emotionless and relentless machinery
The flaming projectiles make sense but irl Can see the flight path better at night Can set houses alight Psycological impact would be expensive and unreliable and would not be used or used very rare
Bien se ve grandioso, pero realmente no se usaron fundibulos en el sitio de Harfleur, Enrique V uso bombardas contra la ciudad, además Harfleur es una ciudad no un castillo como aparece en la película de Netflix
King Edward I did it better. Refuse to accept the Scottish surrender and sent them back into the castle because he wanted to use the biggest trebuchet ever built.
"Oh great King. Why don't we use 300 pound rocks instead of pretty useless fireball flingy things? You know, like completely pulverize all of their towers and walls?" "Shut up serf!!!. You fool, do you not know that it is all about the show, and not about actually doing anything? How would rocks sailing through the night sky ever look cool?" "Sorry sire, you are correct. Flaming balls of yarn are definitely more entertaining. Should l bring out the fire arrows?"
Found this scene so interesting, so weird to see castles actually being used for their intended purpose, and sieges actually feel like real warfare tactics
The sound design is haunting. The mechanical turning of the trebuchets in action, the sound of the projectiles sailing through the air, the distant but heavy thud of them crashing into the walls of the fortress. All backed by a quiet yet constant hum and choir. Almost as if to say what's happening borders the line of right and wrong. Just a task at hand noone takes pleasure in .
My only complaint about Attila is the artillery. For one, it totally ignores orders and prefers to shoot into your own guys in a melee even if you target it elsewhere. And also in the early-medieval expansion... NO TREBUCHETS?! NOT EVEN TRACTION VARIETY?
If I was the king I would be friends with da Vinci sorts in my kingdom and reward them this is a huge feat of engineering considering it's 12th century
I think one of the main reasons this movie was good was that it provided a super ominous and dreadful atmosphere, on my first watch i didnt know about the battle of agincourt or anything reeally but i just had this omnipresent feeling that something terrible was going to happen to timothy chalamet’s character and his men, and i guess that could be chalked up to the music and the cinematography, idk its all just really good filmmaking, even that part where homeboy said “who be the big dogg” lmfaoo
Gotta say it, they're loading the trebuchets wrong. You're supposed to walk inside the wheel, like a hamster. Also... did a dude jump into the weight basket!? They cut away because it probably looked ridiculous in post. It would've been stones, definitely big rocks and not people. And no burning projectiles, I hate to say because it really ties the scene together, but you risk burning your own trebuchet down. Nope, just more rocks, rocks will do the job just fine. Maybe an old dead cow or two. But no burning balls of... whatever that was. Great scene visually but it's kinda missing the "accuracy" mark, lol. Edit: oh look, I watched the scene again and they WERE rocks, wrapped in rope and such. Yeah, definitely wouldn't work. Same with burning arrows. Too much acceleration for fire, you'd just burn your hand, or your trebuchet, or everything else around you to the ground. Sorry guys.

Burning munitions look cooler on screen is what I am guessing. Historically, fire munitions and fire arrows weren't used that often but seeing fire on screen triggers a primal fear in the audience so I guess they went with that

Bring back the Trebuchet !!!
IDF 2024 be like:
That is war wolf! This is no normal trebuchet.

Netflifx is gay for not letting us post more.
It's pronounced 'tree-bucket' - my father
Before cannons using big walls was so op
in real life Henry V used cannons in this seige.
@@Lorenzoginowhen century of king Henry was?

Highly underrated film, well worth watching
This scene is trash! Trebuchet firing and firing... but NO DEFENSE shown??!! What are the other people do? Waiting till they die? TRASH
What do you think happened
Beautifully shot.
The medieval version of the blitz. Absolutely beautiful
Stirling castle. The 1st shot destroyed the gatehouse
why would the saw be rusty? they would treasure their tools.
Trebuchets did not light their rocks on fire.
Great movie, horrible point in History, The poor French, those usurping Lancaster's need to die! I am obviously a Yorkist.
looks like a decent movie

fireballs!
Why are they letting them just trebuchet them to death? No counter attack? No reinforcements?
200 wood 200 gold
The cinematography in this movie is so good
I did this with 4 of my 15 foot Trebuchet. Here's 2 links to video. ruclips.net/video/t9e7uuyBjzI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/1i3twBnngtM/видео.html
Please make medieval 3 total war... (Just goes back to play medieval 2 and crusaders kings 3 forever ) oh and the odd knights of honor 2
The typical trebuchet projectile didn't have to be lit on fire to be effective. They were mostly good for punching holes in castle walls.
so this is why my sieges take so long in eu4 huh
When i play CK3:
This takes me back to playing Medieval II Total War, the sounds of the trebuchets was awesome in that game.

This movie had fantastic sound design in it
It's just beautiful
The battle scene near the end ruled.
киноделы против физики 😏 интересно придет когда нибудь такое время в которое начнут снимать правду?

was ist an dieser szene so besonders ??
It's hauntingly beautiful
Damn are they really that effective with range?
Rocket or artillery
That genuinely looks scary as fuck.

wouldnt the flames be extinguished by the force and speed the objects are being thrown at?

holy fuck that cinematography is beautiful
Modern cinema crap
My father, who served in the armed forces, described war to me as "Generally quite boring and tiring, filled with brief moments of extreme terror."
A grossly inaccurate film from a historical perspective but seemingly quite accurate in the details.
Those are weird trebuchet. As for details, 0:13 is one big anachronism, shoe, trouser shirt, iron, wood
not really, historically Henry V used cannons during this siege.
Wasn’t there a shot with Timothee lit up?
ideal for insomnia
