This is an underrated film and soundtrack! The Eagle is one of the few depictions that I have seen on Roman Britain. This film is based on a novel, so I'm not fully sure this was based on a real event. However, the film displays the sentimental importance of a Roman legion's standard brilliantly. Many standards had different depictions of the Emperor, Serpents, and of course Eagles, along with other imagery. If a legion was to lose their standard, it would face dishonour. This is because the standards had 'SPQR' imprinted on them and so this represented Rome. To lose this, would mean great disrespect upon Rome itself! These were carried into battle as an intimidation tactic to say that Rome is here and is very powerful.

It’s kind of a shame this movie got so lost in the weeds and forgotten. It’s no Gladiator but it’s a very good film, with fantastic cinematography, musical scores and an interesting look at a place in history that isn’t touched upon much in media.
Yeah i know, intressting and unreal
Ya
Yeah but who orders a testudo for no reason at all?
hell i liked it more than gladiator
They don't want us to see it.
One of the more serious roles that Channing Tatum did and I think he did quite well.
He did well in Foxcatcher too.
P
Its the only movie i watched with channing tatum, clearly he is not so good as Jamie Bell but I think he did a good job in this movie.
Go and be happy beautiful brother and sister 💙 with love
I liked his rolls in This Is The End & The Hateful Eight better…
Wow. I remember watching this when I was a teenager. I'm grown up now, in my mid-20s and have been through some painful moments in life. Watching this video and seeing how Marcus Aquila redeemed himself from the dishonour he had was touching for me. Thank you for making this video - I am sure many of us here appreciate it!
I’m glad it resonates with you. Thank you for the kind words :)
Damn if that isn't well done.
Channing Tatum is often overlooked, imo, for how good of an actor he can be. I won't say he is the best, but damn if he can't act with the best of them. When I first watched this film I was fully immersed in the character he portrayed, someone looking for redemption, and honor, while understanding that he had a legacy to live up to.
Truly one of the better films about Rome and her legions in recent memory. There were historical inaccuracies, but I feel like those can be over looked for the most part just because of how good this film was.
Well...if he isn't dancing and shaking his ass and hips to pop music in movies then he is overlooked.
But he sucks in jump street. Jump street the serie was something serious, the movie wasn't good, no it wasn't.
Please Gladiator had many more inaccuracies
forget the critics...he did a good job in this movie. I totally agree with your point of view!
Strength and Honor
Brit here who loves his history, specifically pre-blackpowder. Far as im aware the lost legion and lost eagle is very much real. In fact to most brits who share such stories still, it's all but fact the lost legion disappeared in Britannica.
The only thing nobody knows is where the Legion was lost. All official records for the time period are destroyed. Either through the passage of time or to cover up a disaster none know. Regarding the lost legion and Pictland (Scotland) all we know is at the very least, a patrol or two (at least) was wiped out and raiders kept bypassing the usual fort system, hence the need for Hadrian's wall.
The thing that ultimately makes it so interesting and strange, is that the missing legion was one of Rome's finest, with a long and glorious track record. Basically, something colossal must have happened to be wiped from Roman history intentionally (still no proof this happened.) Such as losing the inanimate representation of Rome's Power (the golden eagle) to a bunch of savage barbarians... and then failing to get it back.
edit black powder lol
@@johnsamyn113 lol, an honest mistake.
@@johnsamyn113 good call. can't believe i over looked that.
As far as im aware from my own research it is in fact more likely that the legion was simply disbanded due to casualty rates and dispersed among other legions around the empire. Thus the reason that there are no records of the legion existing past its point of "disappearing" is as simple as it didn't exist anymore.
Although of course it could be possible that it did infact suffer these casualties from some sort of battle that depleted it. This I think is why its so fascinating as we can truely never know just like all aspects of history, we look at it in context to other sources and aspects of the time.
I find it unlikely that it would be wiped from the records as defeats such as this are by no means uncommon in roman history, pre or post empire. This is why I fall under the category of it having been disbanded. The XII Fulminata was ambushed at Beth Horon and subsequently destroyed with the loss of 6000 men. Why would this not have had extensive information 'destroyed' or 'lost'. The only equivalent argument is that the scottish border was at the very edge of the known world as opposed to Judea, yet otherwise there is no reason for the destruction of a legion to be wiped from history for losing.
@@campo4108 The only thing i have to add to everything you said, which does make a whole lot of sense, is why?
We know Rome is far from perfect and made many mistakes, especially regarding their legions. But the Lost Legion was one of the best before they disappeared, so why not keep those legions traditions and pride going, even if every single person inside of it is freshly recruited?
And i did do my research on this as well, The last confirmed location of the Legion is Frisia, however we also know they had orders to go... somewhere.
The next roman document to mention them, or lack of them, is a census type document that listed Rome's active legions and current locations. They were not on it, not ever mentioned again.
Destroyed and disbanded Legions did not have that level of obscurity. They battle of teutonberg forest for example.
Either way, the true information is lost, my theory could be right, yours could be, but in the end, unless we can speak to the dead or time travel, we are unlikely to ever know the truth.
I'm so proud of our roman ancestry in this country. From roads to buildings from Forts to names of places including Britainia. You don't have to look far to still see what they left behind nearly 2000 years ago.
It’s extraordinary archaeology!! 😊
One of the movies that I enjoy watching despite multiple times. I love this movie for it's masculinity, honour, friendship.
Very underrated movie imo along with Centurion in this genre. Thank you for doing this!
It’s a great film and thanks for watching the vid! 😁
What's the title of the movie please?
@@oluwatosinayodeji5752 The Eagle (2011)
Agreed! I love the fact that he portrays what a masculine leader should be, I love the scene when he tries to save his regiment by self sacrifice. And yet people keep arguing that they used a bad tactic when retreating and ignore the great choreography. All the so called Roman Warfare experts (keyboard warriors) haha.
centurion was a huge comercial sucess, I liked Cebturion, however The Eagle is from another league, its much better!
moral of the story: join the military and defend the eagle til your last breath
Amazing to thing that 2000 years later and many people will gladly fight and die for Rome.
the Aquilifer did ;) was a soldier signifer bearing the eagle standard of a Roman legion. The aquilifer's position was one of enormous prestige and he was ranked immediately below the centurions :))
Honor your mother honor you father your wife and child for all will die with the honor we lived
I only watched this movie in 2021....and I was pleasantly surprised ! Great movie! Amazing soundtrack, story, content, photography. I trully recomend
This video is better than the official trailer who actually tell the whole story. I only miss the bromance between Marcus and Esca, its a very important part of the movie.
how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the glory of his Gods.
Ill never forget seeing this movie in theatres and it was really good, I wish it got more of a household reputation.
At first I was disappointed to see the lead was Channing, but the movie is good and he does justice to the role
It’s a weird match up for sure, but he does alright I think.
I LOVE this movie.
Awesome movie! I watched many times
I really enjoyed this movie
Current historians have found references to the IX Legio well beyond 120 AD. So the legion was not wiped out. It may have performed poorly but the legion survived about 70 years longer, if I remember correctly. The current thinking is that a cohort was possibly lost. That is possible as the Roman Army was very modular in 21st century terms. The lead centurions, the Primus Pilus, often had independent combat command.
I found the Ark of the covenant in Arizona with the Black hand warrior and toched it. I Am The Empress Regent From Europe 100 percent Royalty! Thank you God. God Bless You All❤
i teared up watching this edit never seem this movie
One of the best movies ever made. Goosebumps
Aquila (his last name) is Italian for 'Eagle' , so now you know , the underlying meaning of the redemption from the so-called shame of his Father losing the standard (which was an Eagle) !!!
정말 좋아하는 영화에요 채닝은 최고였어요♡
I’ve watched this at least 3 times,, powerful! And well done.
😊
There was more meaning to this film then gladiator.
this film was good. channing tatum did a good job! his intense acting is just so amazing.
WAIT WHAT! This is from 2011 and I never heard of this! I literally got goosebumps from the trailer...
I only watched the movie for the very first time this year and I never heard about it before.....Great movie! I really enjoy it
Wow this is stunning! Love this so much!
Thank you!!
Another brilliant edit. Well done. 👍
really intense game of capture the flag
yeep
Really underrated film. I found it while browsing for new films to watch, and yes not historically accurate but it was still entertaining. Love roman films or historical movies in general, far better than the over welcome superhero movies that keep coming out
I loved this movie so much, great édit by the way, it gave me the want to see the movie again
Very underrated film but i loved it.
This is one of the best movies! besides Kingdom of Heaven about honor and Faith.
Look such a wonderful movie!... 🤩
It is.
Please put it in your watchlist
How have i missed this movie it looks intresting and High Quality to
It is an underrated film I would say.
The film is ok, the idea was great, just too bad they screwed the pooch on the native Britains culture and costumes making them look more like a northern canadian branch of the american indian. . If you can ignore this part, both of the main actors do a great job and the scenery is really great, so the movie is more than watchable.
Fine I’ll rewatch the movie for the 7th time
A story of honor in a world and culture that seems to forgotten it.
Cool movie, a lot of cool stuff in it. Problem is legio IX didn't march north and disappear.
I do like how he prays to Mithras. Cool details
This movie is amazing
I am ashamed to say I knew nothing of the vanishing Roman Army, or, if I did I have forgotten, I know about the building of ‘Adrians Wall’ of cause, but I am no historian as you are Robbie, this movie sounds very enlightening I must try to find it! another beautifully depicted video thank you 🙏 now I am going crazy trying to remember the name of the lead actor in this movie, I know the name of another movie he was in! 😉
Thank you Bernice 😊 Quite a few legions were ambushed and defeated during the Roman period, such as the ‘Varian Disaster’ in Germany. I’ve got to be honest, I’m not entirely sure on the validity of the ninth legion in this film. I haven’t looked into it a great deal yet. This film is based on a novel.The name of the actor you’re thinking of is Channing Tatum, haha.
haha! Robbie, not far off, the little grey cells aren’t quite finished yet! thank you for the info.you do have, your edits are always Interesting 🤨 take care until next time 🤗👋
Thanks Bernice. Take care ☺️
@@RMFilmStudios Oh yes, the Varus Battle in Germania. 3 legions of the Romans were defeated by the Germans. Emperor Augustus shouted desperately: Varus, give me back my legions ... learned ages before
@@GalwayGirl1 Exactly! It was a terrible and one of the worst defeats for the Roman Empire.
What a great trailer
Had me tearing up
Thanks :)
An interesting detail about this movie was Channing Tarik’s character following the Mithraism religion, I’ve never seen that in a movie before.
My dad is a big Ancient Egypt guy. Im a Roman fan. We often debate. But Rome was for sure way cooler than Egypt.
Rome conquered Egypt
30BC was a mad time in history.
I liked the movie overall. Watching them fight as a unit in the beginning was cool, wish they would have used similar camera shots for the final battle.
Superb movie!!!
Thank you Marcus. AA
"Ever since I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster... er, I mean SOLDIER."
Firstly, there wasn't 5000 men present. They legion had just returned from operations in Ireland and were under-strength. There was also a single cohort of 480 legionaries plus supporting staff in modern day Hungary, on detached duties.
When the IX Legion Hispania entered Caledonia (Scotland), they were at about two thirds of their strength, roughly around 3500 men and half again in support, such as slaves, cooks and other support.
Also, the reason we know about the ambush is because some of the people in the column survived and managed to report the attack when they reached Roman territory. The Roman governor at the time decided to remove all records of the Legion's activity, so as to protect the honour of Rome.
....ma to w genach po przodkach....😊👍😁😁😁😁♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹
How did I never watch that movie 🤨 ? It seems really great from what I see in your edit 👏
You should give it a watch :)
Muy buena película
Recuerdo perfectamente que cuando se estrenó esta pelicula, ese mismo año se estreno otra pelicula con la misma tematica, la desparacion de la Novena Legion. La otra pelicula era brutal, sanguinaria, tambien muy buena.
Centurion de 2010.....
Nice edit.
When ı played Rome 2 Total War :D PULLO GET BACK IN FORMATION YOU DRUNKEN FOOL !!!! Greeting from Anatolia..
Clever edit, nice work. Tah
The beginning of this movie was amazing.. as it progressed it really just went downhill, had so much potential to be something great..
I am Aquila. You have to read the books while I'm retired pain
Bet this took many many many hours to make this as good as it is!
Just a fair few hours haha. Nah, I enjoy editing so the time flies by in most cases. Cheers :)
@@RMFilmStudios I enjoyed it Thank you for your hard work.
@@2_protects_the_1 Thanks!
Good movie
This is GREAT
well done!
Thanks Red Snapper.
Better than the movie!
I do wish they’d have shown the role his “slave” played in the adventure.
The book this movie is based on is part of a trilogy written by Rosemary Sutcliff. The trilogy itself serves as a prequel to the best Arthurian legend written - Sword at Sunset. Highly recommended.
on a side note Centurian is a fine history piece about the loss of the 9th,
Transplanting American accents and modern American hero demeanors to Roman Britain doesn’t work for me.
The Eagle.
Such a good movie
For Romans, the legion eagle was one of the most saint things in Rome. As the ruler and imperator of Rome, Cesar August had many great achievements, but what did he have on his heart on his most representative statue (Augusto di Prima Porta)? If somebody does not know: The splendid moment when the king of Parthians gave back the legionary eagles taken as spoils of war after the battle of Carrhare...
Ill wait for you,years pass but can until end of life,i will survive
I remember reading the novel in school. Was the only one I actually enjoyed.
movie was amazing would've been a cool film if he rose through the ranks
Pelicula buenisima !!
His father was ambush i think i watch this movie when i was 6
This would be even better combined with a tribute for the centurion as that's about the ninth legions disappearance
A thoroughly enjoyable edit. Good work. Maybe you might screen an even broader cross section of films about Rome do do something similar on leadership. Might be interesting.
Interesting. What another amazing video. What movie was this? It seems familiar like I might’ve seen it before a long time ago.
Thank you! It’s a film called The Eagle that came out in 2011. It was released in cinemas at the time and I remember seeing posters/advertisements on the side of buses.
New land. Plump clean and God given with error to be fertile and form given
Soooo Cooooolllllll......,🇨🇭
People in civilian life, do not know the sacrifice soldiers give. Jesus even said There is no greater love than the sacrifice of one man to lay down his life for another. Our men and women who fight in the front line for our country, give the ultimate to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. We can also see that in all the other past wars we have fought in. This movie was put together well and has given us a small inkling of family and country.
Everybody gangsta 'til the Romans come to retrieve the eagle.
father julius mancinelli
It is curious but no European country that has been a Roman province denies that past, on the contrary we are very proud of having been Romanized, except of course Greece, which Hellenized Rome. On the other hand, North Africa, which was one of the most prosperous and cultured areas of the Roman Empire and where there are magnificent archaeological remains, there is no awareness of that past, Islam has devastated everything.
This movie is great
When a 5 and a half minute clip tells you the plot of an entire movie
I try my best.
When do the goose bumps go away? Should I go to urgent care? Help!
Interesting movie, very enjoyable and a nice roll for Channing Tatum BUT the historical value is quitte questionable. The screenwritters somehow though that a roman legion was, by extension, similar to what the US army. The choreographer doesn't know how a centurion would fit on the fight ( NOT on the center but on the right side and on the first row, with the signifcer, the banner). the gladius was on the SIDE of the shield, to stab the enemy, and not on top and the Testudo, the turtle, was for the assault of cities or when they were closing the enemy, not a regular thing to do "because yes", it was to protect the soldiers against arrows, dards and other projectiles.
It's honestly a travesty no one on the writer's team or the production has even played Rome: Total War at least once.... or else they'd know exactly what you're mentioning here
The 9th was broken up and sent to other parts of the empire .
Most likely.
Now we need the Legions again.
💚💜💚💜
Love the edit sir!
Thank you, good fellow!
What movie is this?
The Eagle
Were the Romans on the side of good or evil?
The side of people - no civilization is wholly good or evil.
💪👊
Absolutely magnificent movie! May I also suggest Centurion, also excellent.
Why haven’t I never heard of this and is this a true story and I see Snowden there
It’s not a true story, Marcus is made up. The film is historical fiction, but is based on the Roman ninth legion (real), which mysteriously disappeared from all Roman historical records.
No myth on that legion(good sheggin' in the highlands) Romani insuperibilis!
Those Highlands the Romans never conquered hahaha 🤣
@@johnhenry4844 yep frozen bollocking for 'em

Bruh 3 Roman invasions never conquered Caledonia that’s embarrassing for the worlds longest running empire, then Celts were fierce then sun loving romans were weak
@@johnhenry4844 Britain's Hidden History channel gives them little credit on UK.
@@davepowell7168
What’s that more English BBC propaganda
why do these directors not use other roman tactics and always rely on the testudo?!?!?!?
Cause it’s such an amazing tactic. Basically the first armored vehicle.
For a Roman soldier being sent to Britain was the lowest of the low
Yeh, Britannia was just a lowly Roman Province on the edges of the empire.
North Africa wasn't anything to brag about at dinner either.
Wow.
Well that was the whole movie
Anyone else feels egelized after watching this ?!
Egelized?
