fuck sake gauls and barbarians going around topless, they had clothes idiots, a good number also had the best swords and sheilds and chainmail, better steel than the romans (smith swords)
The "Gauls" here have horned helmets. That particularly annoys me, because even Vikings didn't wear those helmets. There is no justification for that. Also, they portray the Gauls as nobly charging to their deaths with swords and horses. That is an obvious appeal to the still somewhat prevalent medieval idea of honor, in which cavalry charges were seen as the most honorable form of warfare. Although the Gauls did have great cavalry in their later years, the vast majority were infantry.
Caesar had no justifiable reason to conquer them, and in fact the Roman Senate was opposed to Caesar's conquest, as he conquered allies and enemies alike. While Vercingetorix was a freedom fighter, he wasn't going to found a Garden of Eden in Gaul or anything like that. They would still raid and fight as they wanted. Gaul was far from unified at the time, and some tribes allied with the Romans. Also, the way Alesia is portrayed is very inaccurate. *continued*
I hate everything about this movie. From a military perspective the Gauls never won a great victory against Julius Caesar, and if the Roman rout portrayed in this movie at Gergovia really happened Caesar would have taken a break from campaigning. This movie is very low quality, as I have pointed out in my comment about the "warrior with jeans". And the Gauls were far from noble savages. They were raiders who took what they wanted if they could get it. *continued*
I'm really disappointed with the external rescue party numbering some 100,000 strong perhaps up to 200,000 not being able to punch through Roman defense.
@ConstantineJoseph keep in mind they were attacking well fortifed walls with man traps ect ect also the mercenary cavalry steam rolled them once they started to run away .. but i agree with you ...all the death for gold and power ..and its still happening today : (
Sad end to Celtic Gaul really. Even the Jews in Palestine had a proxy state for quite some time but for the case of the Gauls was total annihilation and assimilation by Caesar.
Well, the Romans were paid in full by the barbarian invasions later on. We live in a savage world.
Wellcome again. :) I see you are interested in history (me too). The empires must fall when level of decadence, effeminacy and sybaritism reaches critical point. But it's a adifference between ancient Rome and e.g. modern Western culture. Rome wanted to defend itself but it couldn't; the West has a power but it doesn't want. End of West will be a first suicidal falling at own request. :( Pardon my fatal english. :)
Timothy Dalton and the HBO Caesar were pretty awesome. In Timothy Dalton's case his appearance was limited and the film was pretty low budget never the less he looked bad ass. In this movie we have that french guy from white fang.
TO WHOM MAY IT CONCER; THE GERMANS MIGHT BE CELTS BUT NO THE HUNS NOT A CHANCE. THE HUNS WERE FROM MONGOLIAN ORIGIN SO THEY LOOKED LIKE MONGOLIANS NOT LIKE CELTS
@TalonMercenary This is a cheesy movie but this is what happens when Barbarians sack rome and own the Romans in Italy, the Romans go on a 1000+ year rampage of owning barbarian tribes in Europe
Hahaha I rented this movie a few years ago, it was terrible. Great story, rotten movie. If it were a better movie, and had he won the battle, VERCINGETORIX would be as well known today as William Wallace or Queen Boudicca.
He is well known in my opinion. There are other military and political leaders with greater successes against Rome that are barely recognised by most people. A good example is the Parthian leader that poured molten gold down Crassus throat (Surena). What about the Gothic leader that defeated Emperor Valens? (Fritigern).
I'd love to see an epic Mel Gibson Vercingetorix movie of Braveheart/Apocolypto/Patriot proportions. I've always wanted to see a good gallic wars movie on the big screen, with a good budget and production.
@PhantomDruid It would still suck on historical accuracy. My studies learnt me an inchanging formula in this domain: Hollywood + History = Bullshit (And I say Hollywood to say "any large or tiny movie production" ) :P
Charles de Gaulle: Nous sommes quand même avant tout un peuple européen de race blanche, de culture grecque et latine et de religion chrétienne.
François Mitterrand: Nous sommes français, nos ancêtres les Gaulois, un peu romains, un peu germains, un peu juifs, un peu italiens, un petit peu espagnols.
Kako su se ovi Gali samo zajebali, napali su utvrdjene zidove umesto da opkole te iste i urade ono sto je Cezar uradio Alesiji.. I da su sacekali mesec dana Cezar bi ostao bez hrane i prosao bi kao i ovi koje je opkolio, i Cezar bi bio mrtav i svi u gradu koje je opkolio ali bi zato ovi spolja sto su stigli pobedili...
I'm not so sure about calling Gaulish smiths "The" "Celts", but yes they were reputedly excellent and certainly used by the Romans. Unfortunately for us, their folklore of that period is largely gone, because most of the free Gauls/Celts/Britons whatever you want to call them of the Iberian Peninsula, France, Belgium, the British Isles etc. had their lore almost obliterated under the empire.
As for germanic cavalry, well yes.. I'm not sure what the argument is there?
What are you talking about? Don't where you got your history from, of course the Gauls are Celtic peoples..... Every history book on Earth agrees with me. My argument with the Germanic cavalry is obvious, Caesar wouldn't of been able to do his conquests without "barbarian" aid.
Boy they sure had Caesar all wrong, he was a tall fit man not a soft tubby weasel. And he was the lead from the front type and used to spread himself around the battle field where things were worst to motivate his boys and was not opposed to hack down a few Celts personally to let his men see that he was one of them. Bad film
@JwZTheBoss That's not lame at all, that's what the Gauls and other Celtic tribes considered a sign of their bravery: that they were willing to charge into battle with no protective armor on.
@martinwellborne and on that note I don't think many people would disagree with you in that sense, Roman society was an acquisitive, rapaciously greedy furball externalising its conflict and indolence as mugging the world.
Objectively though, they civilised much of the known world, they had RELATIVE respect for freedom and laws how they saw them, and were genuinely keen on bettering the lives of those they conquered. They were undeniably an entropic wave of progress, as well as brutal tragedy.
The Celts had superior blacksmithing skills, incredible art work, jewellry making, a rich folklore, plus these smelly Barbarians actually introduced soap to the so called civilized Romans. If the Gauls were all united at the start, gauranteed Caesar wouldn't of had success. He often used the tribes against each other, and at the battle of Alesia most historiains agree that he wouldnt of succeeded if it weren't for his German cavalry mercenaries.
@Canada1991 "The Celts"... really? Gaulish swordcraft was great, sure, but like the germanian hordes they would have certainly been comparatively smelly, without Roman municipal water supplies, public bathing facilities in towns, cities and forts all in combination with a culture of bathing every day if possible to be considered "civilised".
It would be disingenuous of us to pretend they were not the cleanest people of their age, because they adopted a toiletry from elsewhere now, wouldn't it?
Don't know about Celtic bathing rituals, but the Germanic peoples put an effort into bathing themselves almost daily, they did this up to the time of the Vikings, it only stopped once Christianity took over. Plus as I said before, they are the ones who gave soap to the Romans.

@martinwellbornet if the spectrum is abject Barbarism->somewhere here Rome->Free Civilisation, Rome is still a force for order, lawful behaviour, betterment of the people through engineering etc.
Their context was that EVERY part of the world had people casually taking each other slaves, and killing/mutilating people for fun from Ireland to Africa to Parthia, so if they added law, civil engineering and so on, their avarice is still a force for order and civilisation.
@killboxtwinz mate use your eyes and ears; its COMPLETLEY SHIT.
the script is crap, its clearly a rip off of braveheart, the acting as a hole is crap, the action is crap, the accents are crap, the gore is crap and most importantly of all the symbolism is all fucked up
i think, if they made this movie more serious... this movie will be great! vercingetorix got a really intresting story! Peter Jackson should direct the movie!
Abom420, we didn't rape women or drown children. And unlike what your school teachers say, we don't kill entire generations of Muslims, but we do kill the extremist who want to kill every non-Muslim even the "politically correct" ones like you. Remember, U.S soldiers die every day for our freedom and you take it for granted and continue to hate your own people.
@godzillaskywalker456 How does a country that has no military force any were near being able to invade the US threaten your freedom. All your country is doing over their is flushing its own money down the toilet and its try to get other countrys to do the same, its vietnam all over again.
@martinwellborneWe can't judge ancient people for their actions with a modern point of view affected by christians values . Romans were ruthless conquerors.Even so we should justify their way of relating with other people rather than conquerors of modern age who lived in advanced christian era
These kids are arguing it cuz schools teach "Rome" then "Medieval" they dont stop to say hey kids? every wonder that its kinda ironic the dark ages spread literally the very second Rome fell? after generation is born, died, born, died, born, died, born, died the 5th or 6ths tend to forget their ancestors reasoning i.e. im 4th generation Irish and as u can tell kind of dont like this country even though we fought and died to be here, formed unions and held presidency
@martinwellborne an art form ? Dude, the only reason roman armies allowed their troops to loot and pillage and rape etc, was because the soldiers werent paid enough for how hard the military campaigns were, so looting was allowed to keep the army happy and always hoping to find treasure in some enemy building that they're plundering after victory
Are you idiot? Roman civilized a great parts of Europe... If Gauls won, then European will be different. You can't change the history, accept the fact or go back to school again.
@martinwellborne ...not that every country in the world at that time in history was enslaving others during war, but... yeah they rpetty much all did it. Gauls and germans raped and looted and enslaved romans too when rome fell you know lol
Why do all the Gallic warriors have handlebar moustaches? I kept waiting to for them to don leather jackets and hop on Harleys before going home to drink beer, watch football and beat their wives.
@42themeaningoflife or idk Running the United States of America some 1500 years after Romans became Italians, then lost every single war that they entered into for the rest of time nice one meanwhile, Irish (Gauls) are busy fighting American wars soooooo yeah. Gallic-Romanic's FTW im both so insult me now ahahahaha ahahahaha ahahahahaha ahahahaahahahah
@42themeaningoflife: Actually, Gallic and Germanic warriors of the time were noted for their facial hair. The Romans were a habitually clean shaven people, so they viewed such habits as barbaric.
@somedude221 True, but also being clean shaven didn't start until Alexander the great reign. He was always clean shaven. Before him any Greeks and Romans had facial hair. The spartans are known for their thick beards. One can say Alexander the great was a trend setter lol.
@Zubirrex Please don't defend the movie, not only is it terrible in its own right, the mere fact that the Romans are wearing Lorica Segmentata at Alesia invalidates any semblance of historical accuracy.
@42themeaningoflife I'm not defending the movie. It's shit. You're right about the Lorica Segmentata. But Caesar himself described the Gauls in his "Commentaries on the Gallic War." The nobles did wear their hair long, bleached with lime, and had handlebar mustaches. Commoners probably did, as well.
@42themeaningoflife Heh, well you say this, their cousins over the English channel - often Gauls - in Kent/East Anglia - had a culture of individuals owning chariots that they painted brightly.
Couple that with the Romans saying they wore moustaches like in Gaul, that they had silly haircuts, and that in the run-up to battle they brought their chariots to the front and rode them back and forth making a terrifying thundrous noise...
The people of that region were pre-motorcycle bikers.
@42themeaningoflife I'm a bit of a Celtic history and and mythology fan so maybe I can give an answer to this question. The moustache was a mark of manhood much as a beard is in other cultures. The Gallic Celt took his moustache to the extremes in not only length but breadth, a habit commented upon by many Roman dignitaries who were given to diplomatic exchanges with Gaul.
there can be only one...............

@martinwellbornet if the spectrum is abject Barbarism->somewhere here Rome->Free Civilisation, Rome is still a force for order, lawful behaviour, betterment of the people through engineering etc.
Their context was that EVERY part of the world had people casually taking each other slaves, and killing/mutilating people for fun from Ireland to Africa to Parthia, so if they added law, civil engineering and so on, their avarice is still a force for order and civilisation.

Abom420, we didn't rape women or drown children. And unlike what your school teachers say, we don't kill entire generations of Muslims, but we do kill the extremist who want to kill every non-Muslim even the "politically correct" ones like you. Remember, U.S soldiers die every day for our freedom and you take it for granted and continue to hate your own people.

what brought Rome to its knees?
its politics
so much discourse every year projects were ripppped the fuck down becuase the one who started it was an enemy,
not becuase it was a bad idea.
Republicans filibustering every bill Obama passes?
constant class warfare at an all time high?

we lost an epic war then entered an age of Gallic-Romanic comradiery (sp?)
war wasnt to kill and pillage and be a fucking retard
it was to prove you deserved to own an area nowadays controlled by 15 seperate governments
almost anyone defeated the Roman empire would join if offered
those who wouldnt stayed and formed modern day France once the real Gallic men left.

@martinwellborne an art form ? Dude, the only reason roman armies allowed their troops to loot and pillage and rape etc, was because the soldiers werent paid enough for how hard the military campaigns were, so looting was allowed to keep the army happy and always hoping to find treasure in some enemy building that they're plundering after victory

Why do all the Gallic warriors have handlebar moustaches? I kept waiting to for them to don leather jackets and hop on Harleys before going home to drink beer, watch football and beat their wives.

@ABOM420 I was referring to the abuse of the Gallic stereotype by a poor movie, not to 'Roman superiority' in any case.
42themeaningoflife 11 months ago
@42themeaningoflife: Actually, Gallic and Germanic warriors of the time were noted for their facial hair. The Romans were a habitually clean shaven people, so they viewed such habits as barbaric.
somedude221 11 months ago 2
@somedude221 True, but also being clean shaven didn't start until Alexander the great reign. He was always clean shaven. Before him any Greeks and Romans had facial hair. The spartans are known for their thick beards. One can say Alexander the great was a trend setter lol.

@Zubirrex Please don't defend the movie, not only is it terrible in its own right, the mere fact that the Romans are wearing Lorica Segmentata at Alesia invalidates any semblance of historical accuracy.
42themeaningoflife 10 months ago
@42themeaningoflife I'm not defending the movie. It's shit. You're right about the Lorica Segmentata. But Caesar himself described the Gauls in his "Commentaries on the Gallic War." The nobles did wear their hair long, bleached with lime, and had handlebar mustaches. Commoners probably did, as well.
Zubirrex 10 months ago
@42themeaningoflife Heh, well you say this, their cousins over the English channel - often Gauls - in Kent/East Anglia - had a culture of individuals owning chariots that they painted brightly.
Couple that with the Romans saying they wore moustaches like in Gaul, that they had silly haircuts, and that in the run-up to battle they brought their chariots to the front and rode them back and forth making a terrifying thundrous noise...
The people of that region were pre-motorcycle bikers.

@42themeaningoflife I'm a bit of a Celtic history and and mythology fan so maybe I can give an answer to this question. The moustache was a mark of manhood much as a beard is in other cultures. The Gallic Celt took his moustache to the extremes in not only length but breadth, a habit commented upon by many Roman dignitaries who were given to diplomatic exchanges with Gaul.
