It's ironic, Etain is called "She Wolf", and is the enemy of the Romans, but it was a she wolf that saved Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome.
I love Etain. She was given hardly any character development and not even that much screen time, and yet I think she is one of the most significant female characters in cinematic history: because she is one of the only, if not thee only, female ass-kickers I've seen that wasn't fetishized/sexualized at all and had no romantic connections to any of the other characters. She was just simply a warrior and hunter. When do we ever get that?
I love these guys who whine that it isn't a fair fight. If the guy was fit it wouldn't be fair either. His size gives him an advantage. It's war not a tea party. When only one of you can live, you do whatever you have to - to gain an edge. Just like those two guys. One faked injury and slashed his buddy - left him for the wolves. I don't feel the slightest bit sorry for that guy. If he wanted a fair fight he should've taken up boxing. War is always ugly and unfair. He got what he deserved.
yeah well that's my point. And though they may point out that the Romans were dicks at the same time they give them this sense of glory like they accomplished something, which in their minds they did, by annexing these countries under roman rule and destroying anyone who even spoke ill of Rome.
It seems that we glorify what Rome used to be with movies like this that make it seem that the "savage picts" were the bad guys. any conquerors of tribes will always the bad ones, and that is why I normally root for the enemies of the Romans.
@2bjjones I dunno, I think they made a point to emphasize that the romans were dicks here too. I mean, the whole reason Etain was hunting them in the first place was because of what the legion did to her family
@nounever It's a decent movie but pisses me off how the female Picts are all skinny models with hardly any fat but still able to weild swords and use larg bows. But the director must appeal to the men in the audience. Oh well. It's still a good movie.
the roman legionaries were usually not trained to fight in combat like that, at this period they were trained to fight in formation in a large unit. that was there main advantage, once the formation was broken they could very well be defeated
The guy was tortured, he has multiple wounds, his ribs are probably broken. She was fit, had the way better weapon and she has learned fighting when she was a child. That's very much not a balanced fight, does not matter if she's a women or men.
@MetalGecko87 lol! clearly you are of Italian descent or the like since you are not rooting for the Celts, one of the ancestors of the Scots, Irish, and Welsh. Besides, he invaded their land, so he's just gettin what's comin to him.
@Boogung nar mate I'm celtic descent. All I'm saying is she had the chance to kill him all along. He deserved a fair fight, he is a general. If she is so good why fight him when hes at his weakest?
@yttihp11 all I'm saying is that shes only good enough to fight a wounded man. I'm not justifying their invasion, although Celtic border raids were an issue during the period : )
I watched this film with my Dad the other day, I loved it and the picts look awesome. My Dad only had the problem with that they needed to be more 'mudded up' more dirty and perhaps etain could be damaged more; i dunno cut dry hands to add realism. But hey its only a movie.
When the romans invaded britain for the second time they faced only britons who were from a celtish background , over the next 150 years they pushed up far higher than hadrians wall and split scotland in 2 with a wooden wall called the antonine wall . They defeated a britsh army near aberdeen in battle called " mons grampus" - whenever the romans formed a battle line they were rarely beaten least of all by german, gaulish (french) or britons .
@huless actually, if it was an honest fight between a pict woman and a centurion... then id bet on the pict.. they are one of the most fearless savage warriors ever known.
And for the viking axe: This is a movie! Never ever has any historical movie gotten every eqipment right that portrayed a time older than the civil war. (older than the photograph.
No they didn't they 'Tried' to raid and settle Scotland several times, loosing and getting raided back, its in the Viking Saga's, King Macbeth / Mcalpine / Malcolm all defeated the Vikings each time they tried, Vikings where nothing but the niggers of Europe anyhow, completely irrelevent just like Scandinavia is to this day in history.

Also your from Canada, guessing your blatant desrespect is coming from the fact that your a migrant in our lovely nation, need I say anything else?.....
One thing I really liked about this film was that the fight-scene direction, along with Olga Kurylenko's primal performance, made me believe that this warrior woman could actually defeat big burly male soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. In most movies and TV shows, I cringe whenever girls beat up guys, because their kicks and punches are so effeminate that you know, in an actual fight, they'd be laid out in seconds. Not here. Etain was pretty damn frightening.
