Looks like Tristan knew he was toast just after Cerdic's first cut under his arm. It's too bad the director didn't show Tristan putting up a better fight than he did. I guess they had to show off just how good a fighter Cerdic was. Two great acting job by Stellan and Mads though.
What music was playing at the beginning of this video? It sounds like the soundtrack from "Hunt for the Red October," but slower...? Was wondering if anyone knows where to get it (this slower version)?
Tristram is a Sarmatian,as it states in the film description. The Romans conquered Sarmatia,and incorporated their Cavalry into their own army.Originally,Rome didnt have a great mounted Legion.When it did,it was made up of conscripts from many countries,mostly Slavic.
I hate it when Tristram dies.I hate it. I fell hard for him in this,ad did nearly all other females.Lol!
The origional Tristan and cerdic fight was way shorter than this.
All that happened was the first clash, they depart, then it shows the first bit of the second clash before cutting straight to the point when Tristan loses his weapon. He then picks it it up, swipes, gets stabbed in the arm and falls to the floor. When Cerdic picks him up, his mouth is bleeding (?) it then skips out the last stab and just shows the killing blow. I prefer this version as it shows Tristan fight till the very end.
@killerdragon30 not totally different.. they looked much alike and fought in pretty much the same way as the vikings who invaded Britain back in 793 and also they had the same beliefs. so when i call Cerdic for a viking warrior then its cuz he looks and fights like one doesnt mean he has to be one of the vikings in scandinavia. the term viking is very widespread these days u know and have more than one meaning unlike back then.
cool how these sarmatians are roman army. a lot of roman troops were numidians, egyptians, sarmatians, berbers, or from thrace. at least from 200 ad onwards anyway
Anyone else notice how Tristan is a bit more 'dirty' in his fighting, while Cedric is more chivalrous? Tristan won't wait for Cedric to back off after getting his sword back, as well as the sneak attack on Cedric at the end, and 'snap' movements from on his knees to attacking as soon as Cedric lowers his guard to allow him a chance to get up.
And people...we´ve all seen alotta violence in movies.But even though we don´t get to see any blood...that dagger to the back of Tristans head..? Aaaarrgh!! It actually looks like it hits and like it hurts like a muthafucka...the sound alone. Painful as hell ! ! I almost feel it myself,just watching.
@StonewallSierra16 no :) there are countless records of romans complimenting saxons and other norsemen aswell as celts on their amazing fighting skills in even combat, roman received limited training in one to one combat, romans won cuz they worked as a team
Tristan lost against Cerdric for two reasons. 1. Cerdric was something few other warriors of that time were, an actual swordsman, that took Tristan's skill advantage away. 2. Going by the code of honor true swordsmen followed, Cerdric cheated by bringing another blade into the fight. Besides, Tristan died the way he wanted to, in combat. Arthur won due to a combination of rage and Cerdric's fatigue. Overall good battle
not only that but did you notice something? Tristan made greatest use of his skill by countering his oppenents aggression and killing them quickly, cerdric noticed that, and before he fought tristan he told that soldier near him to fight him, to me it looked like he was using that as a chance to study his skill. Even tristan seemed to realize this when they disengaged briefly he seemed a little surprised that he hadn't managed to end it with a few strikes.
@fluffyzhangfei To me,they made a mistake,Tristan shoukld´ve died like Lancelot,an arrow outta nowhere.Cause Tristans first entrance..a guy who kills a woad without even looking at him is the same guy as this?Not believable,not even for this movie.See how Tristan moves be4 he gets hurt 1st and the 2nd time.Slow like an old lady! I know Mads slowed down to match Skarsgårds lack of skill and speed but still...n notice howCedric NEVER injures Tristan with his sword,only the dagger,except the end
@VillalobosC9 His sword didn't work against him very much, but his style definitely did. He tried to be slow and methodical against him which doesn't work that great against big/tough opponents because it just gives them time to work against you and outplay you. Cerdric had no chance against Arthur because Arthur was relentlessly aggressive and faster than him until he eventually broke through his defenses and wore him down any way he could. Once he did that the fight was over.
ROFl! Niiiiice try. The "french" dominate nothing. Asisde from that well known fact involving those cowards if rapiers would have sufficed in battle, they wouild have been used. The fighting skill of those men back then combined with their armor...your little frenchman would have actually suceeded at what they do best>>>RUNNING!
@Nytsaakuolet AS in...Mads Mikkelsen vs. Stellan Skarsgård? Or if Cedric didn´t have that dagger? Or if the director and writer had tried to maintain a little realism,even within the frames of cinema and we would have seen the same Tristan,who in the 1st battle moves like a ninja n kills a woad without even looking at him? Cause look at his movements here,before he gets injured the 1st and second time.That´s not Tristan!! He moves like an old lady... So in "reality",I agree.Tristan wins.
@Sumumabitch78 tristan was fighting a losing battle against cerdic and his knife sword combo which hes obvs skilled at, he does leave himslef open alot in the final fight, but i dont agree that he use that 2 hit kill mode on cerdic :) cerdic knew not to underestimate him, sorry the film got it right
@samosayoe Fiction mostly gets it right. Tristan is killed cause the writer knew he was the one the audience would moarn the most. Hence eagle soaring above. 2. If strike isnt blocked by C,Tristans blade would hit the ground. Know its for safety reasons but does that sound like T? And look at how he moves exactly before injured,holds the sword akward and 3. Cerdic pulls out a dagger in 0.7 seconds from holding sword with both hands.
@samosayoe He gets a dagger jammed into his leg n doesnt even say ouch! or even limp...and the movie got it right? Still,to present Tristan as the smoothest n best swordsman(he wasnt the best)only 2 let him get humiliated was only to get the us 2 hate C.Shot from weird angles,below since S.S couldnt even handle a simple swordexchange...with that heavy sword,can he block when T goes head,leg,head? Doubt it. T should for poetrys sake died by arrow n let someone else get slaughtered.
