@@JuanCarlos-fu3th las flechas de fuego eran muy útiles, pero no se usaban contra la infantería, principalmente se usaban para incendiar edificos, naves y para negación de área con sus humos.
Not realistic. It became a free-for-all with no battlefield cohesion and nobody in their formations. In real life, this would have been a disaster and signified a failure in leadership. The Roman Emperor and Senate would not have allowed this general to command another battle. This is hollywood shtick. Still a good scene, but by no means realistic.
I love how the film makers had used the same medieval horse armor face mask (Maximu's horse) as you can see in the Kingdom of Heaven (Baldwin's horse - 'The Jerusalem Has Come scene')! I wonder if anyone ever glimpse that lil detail ;) Greetings from Czech republic! And check the blind hussite general John Zizka! For honor dear knights! 💪
Maybe so but these were Germans. The Celts who aren't German peoples were pretty much defeated two centuries earlier than this period. Mostly by Julius Caesar.
It was awesome till the most elite and disciplined soldiers during that time broke ranks and fought in a moshpit of a battle. The Roman formation is well known for holding ranks for half a day, they dont break a perfect formation for absolutely no reason.
This sequence have CGI. The're just perfectly blends into picture. At 5:23 you have a three shots combined into one wide. Every arrow and every stone throwed into german army is CGI. Also most of soldiers. They also had to widened arrows range because in reality it was too small to make great expression.
@Jonesyb90 the war chants of the Germanic soldiers was directly taken from Zulu by Ridley because he loves the layering it brings. It's authentic Zulu too, the Zulu warriors in the film were actual Zulus.
The only part of this battle scene that I didn't like is that the legionarys never threw their pila. It's been said that the Roman line of infantry could win a battle without ever touching the enemy infantry. The pilum was a terrifyingly effective weapon. It'd either klll the man it was thrown at or disable his shield.
It became a free-for-all. Not realistic. Roman infantry would never have broken their formations to fight one-to-one like this. They were famous for their discipline and battlefield formations....not their one on one dueling ability.
@@NalesnikZdrzemem No it isn't a fact. They only broke formation once the enemies began to break and flee. During battle, formations always held until one side lost and fled. They didn't break formation at the very beginning of a battle and go to street-brawling. If they did, what was the point of the formation genius? If you don't know what you're talking about, silence is your best option. It's hilarious that you find this battle realistic.
dont know why, i stand with the ancient germans, they are very brave standing against that roman war machine , even when they know theyre gonna loss and this battle is the last in the 8 year campaign when the romans prevailed.
بداية المعركة كانت اكثر من رائعة تقترب من الكمال .. نقاط الضعف كانت في جميوع المشاة .. عددهم كان قليلا جدا وتحركاتهم غير جدية باتجاه العدو هذه هي نقطة ضعف المشهد الوحيدة ولكنه يبقى من افضل ما رايت .. الموسيقى التصويرية خيالية لأبعد الحدود
Romans charging forward on modern horses in a hilly, muddy spruce monoculture, accompanied by a German shepherd jumping through fire, while hundrets of legionnaires are fighting man-to-man without command: Had this actually taken place like shown in this battle scene, Maximus would not have shouted "Roma victor" but "Roma est devicta" - provided he would have had survived... The legionnaires of the Roman legions (legion, latin: "legere", meaning: the selected, the chosen) avoided dueling, because the risk of injury and death was high and therefore uneconomical. Roman legionnaires were in fact valuable assets for their legati (legatus, latin: commander, the one sent by the emperor) because they were cost-intensively skilled, resilient and disciplined elite soldiers (sort of ancient Navy SEALS) who were trained to handle harsh conditions (35 kg of equipment, daily stages of 30 km in five hours) and who could not have been replaced easily in a military campaign abroad in due time. Every victory based on their skills guaranteed and multiplied the fame of their commander when the campaign was over and he returned back to Rome. Therefore avoiding losses of legionnaires was crucial. Instead of fighting individually, the Roman legionnaires used to attack most of the time in military formations, for example in a so called "tortoise formation" (latin: "testudo"), comparable to a human tank, protecting the legionnaires with their shields on their sides and over their heads against missile fire, arrows or rocks. Because uneven landscapes made military formations difficult, the Roman legions preferred to fight on flatland; elsewhere their formations got highly vulnerable (see "The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest" AD 9, where three roman legions - around 20.000 legionnaires - got annihilated by the german tribes under their leader Arminius in an ambush in the forest of Teutoburg in the german state of North Rhine-Westphalia). The sword ("gladius") was not designed as a duel weapon that was swung like a machete but a thrust weapon. What is also completely missing in this battle is the first wave of testudoes in which the legionnaires were equipped with pila. These pila (pilum, a heavy javelin) were designed to be thrown against the shields of the enemy where they got stuck due to the destinctive design of the javelin tip. The weight of the pilum and the fact that the first third of it was made from soft metal that bent under the weight of the shaft after getting stuck pulled the shield downward, rendering it useless. Spruce grew originally high up in the Alps before it became commercial timber; german forests of the time were dense, deciduous forests and consisted mainly of beeches. Horses back then were much smaller and compact, more like ponies. Galopping on horses through rough forest terrain leads inevitably to stumbling and falling. The german sheperd must have been a time travelling dog because this breed of dog wasn't bred before the 1890ies. A dog never jumps through fire voluntarily. Training a dog jump through fire is a cruel and unneccessary trick because the risk of injury is extremely high for the animal. Catapults (latin: "onager") shown here on muddy, hilly forest terrain would have been useless because due to their size and weight they would have simply gotten stuck and impossible to maneuver. This is not about nitpicking, but all those obvious errors could have been easily avoided. Ridley Scott is a great director, therefore I don't understand why he didn't consult historians and military experts before filkming a movie like "Gladiator" on a 103 million US dollar budget. The result is of course highly entertaining - but it is nothing but a fantasy movie.😅
@Qson2321 :D Numerous times, but unfortunately never by Ridley Scott. Had that happened, it might have spared you "Gladiator II", which makes "Gladiator" look like a scientifically correct documentary...
Fighting the Romans in open battle when the Legions had the time to prepare the ground and get themselves set up is suicide. This battle was over before it began.
Hannibal being an exception. The way he used the exact same tactic twice to defeat the Roman Juggernaut was astonishing. Also shows hubris on the Romans' part. They saw a weak center. Hannibal saw them walk right into it. And that was that. Twice.
@@ChrisTenalach77777 That doesn't nullify the tactical genius of Hannibal in Italy, at all. It's a famous quote that Hannibal knew how to gain a victory, but not how to use one, and that's what happened to him. Scipio also got extremely lucky during the battle of Zama. Huge stroke of luck plus having learned from two absolute disasters of battles = victory for Scipio. He wasn't half the commander Hannibal was.
