Moet je zeker doen. Spartacus, Crassus en Julius Caesar zijn grootheden uit de Romeinse tijd. Altijd mooi om die op het witte scherm te zien.

Days of Glory (2006 film)

The film begins in North Africa where large numbers of indigènes (French Algerian Tirailleurs as well as Tunisian or Moroccan Goumiers) have been recruited into the French First Army of the Free French Forces, that has been formed to liberate France of the Nazi occupation in World War II.

Saïd, an impoverished goat herder, joins the 7th Algerian Tirailleur Regiment. With him are several other Berber men, including Yassir, who is seeking booty so that he can return home and his brother can marry; Messaoud, who wants to marry and settle in France; and literate Corporal Abdelkader, who is fighting for the equality and rights of the colonized Algerians.

Soon the men, dressed in lend-lease American uniforms meet Sergeant Martinez, a battle-hardened pied noir, who trains them before leading them on their first mission in the Italian Campaign. Their mission is to capture a heavily-defended mountain from the Germans. It soon becomes clear that their white commanding officer is using the colonial troops as cannon fodder to identify artillery targets. The African troops eventually succeed, but the tactics result in high casualties among the colonial troops. When asked by a French war correspondent about his thoughts on the losses, the white colonel replies, "today was a great victory for the Free French Forces".

The troops of the 7th ATR are transported to France to participate in Operation Dragoon to liberate the south of France.[2] While aboard ship, a white cook refuses to give tomatoes to black soldiers. Abdelkader calls for equality but the mutiny is averted when Martinez and the company Captain assures everyone will be treated the same.

On arrival at Marseille, the colonial troops are greeted as heroes. Messaoud, meets and courts Irène, a French woman; When his regiment leaves, he promises to write and to return. She says she'll wait for him and they will marry. However, due to French censorship of mail between Arab men and white French women, Irène never learns Messaoud's fate.

Saïd becomes Martinez's orderly, for which the other soldiers call him "wench". Eventually, he snaps and holds a knife to Messaoud's throat. Abdelkader calms the situation, but Saïd makes it clear that in this segregated world the French authorities will not give their African soldiers anything. While drinking with the sergeant, Saïd mentions they are similar, as he had seen the picture of Martinez with his Arab mother; the NCOa self-hating Arabattacks him, and threatens to kill Saïd if he reveals this secret.

The colonial troops discover that while they are not allowed breaks, the white Free French Forces are given leave to return home in France. Eventually, the troops are told they are going home, but it's a ruse; instead, they are billeted behind the lines and given a ballet performance. Bored and disillusioned, most leave the tent and hold a meeting outside decrying the injustice. Martinez challenges the group, led by Abdelkader, and a fight starts.

Early the next morning, French MPs bring Messaoud to a temporary stockade where Abdelkader is also being held. Messaoud says he was arrested for trying to go back to Marseille and find Irène. Abdelkader is brought before the white Colonel who tells him that he needs him to go on a special mission: to take ammunition to American troops fighting in the Lorraine Campaign and also be the first French troops to liberate Alsace. The white officer promises that Abdelkader and the other African soldiers will get the rewards and recognition that success in this operation demands. Later, the white company captain tells the corporal that the colonel will keep his word.

Most of the men are killed by a booby trap, including Yassir's brother, as they cross the German lines. Martinez has been severely injured. Most of the troops want to return to their side, but Abdelkader rallies them to push on. Eventually, the corporal, Saïd, Messaoud, Yassir and Martinez reach an Alsatian village. Over the next few days the soldiers ingratiate themselves into the area, and Saïd befriends a milkmaid. A battle begins when a company of Germans arrive, and everyone except Abdelkader is killed. However just as the corporal is cornered more colonial troops arrive and drive the Germans out of the village.

As columns of Free French forces begin to move through the area, Abdelkader sees the colonel passing in his jeep, but the white commanding officer ignores him and he is pulled away by a staff officer who asks him where his unit is. When Abdelkader says they are all dead, he is simply assigned to another white NCO. As he walks out of the village, he passes a film cameraman filming only white troops standing by the liberated villagers.

The movie then moves to the present day. An elderly Abdelkader visits a war cemetery in Alsace to visit the graves of his comrades: Martinez, Saïd, Yassir and Messaoud. He then returns to his small rundown flat in modern-day France. The film then concludes with the caption to say that the servicemen from France's former colonies living in France had their pensions frozen in 1959 shortly before their various countries of origin's independence.

Kerel, die film is gebaseerd op een boek van Yann Martel. En dat boek staat als uitmuntend bekend in de literatuur. Met name om de krachtige allegorie over de kracht van verhalen.

Dat zegt niets. Er zijn ontzettend veel adaptations van boeken, verfilmingen, dat maakt het verhaal niet per definitie sterk. Punt bij die film is dat alles om de VFX draait, haal je dat weg, blijft er weinig over.

Ragnar Lodbrok (Ragnar "Hairy-Breeks", Old Norse: Ragnarr Loðbrók) was a legendary Norse hero from the Viking Age who was thoroughly reshaped in Old Norse poetry and legendary sagas.[1][2]

The namesake and subject of "Ragnar's Saga", and one of the most popular Viking heroes among the Norse themselves, Ragnar was a great Viking commander and the scourge of France and England. A perennial seeker after the Danish throne, he was briefly "king" of both Denmark and a large part of Sweden. A colorful figure, he claimed to be descended from Odin, was linked to two famous shieldmaidens, Lathgertha in the Gesta Danorum, and Queen Aslaug according to the Völsungasaga.

He told people he always sought greater adventures for fear that his (possibly adoptive) sons who included such notable Vikings as Björn Ironside and Ivar the Boneless would eclipse him in fame and honor. Ragnar raided France many times, using the rivers as highways for his fleets of longships. By remaining on the move, he cleverly avoided battles with large concentrations of heavy Frankish cavalry, while maximizing his advantages of mobility and the general climate of fear of Viking unpredictability. To court his second wife, the Swedish princess Thora, Ragnar traveled to Sweden and quelled an infestation of venomous snakes, famously wearing the hairy breeches whereby he gained his nickname. Supposedly, the breeches were made from bearskin dipped in pitch and sand, making them fireproof. He continued the series of successful raids against France throughout the mid 9th century, and fought numerous civil wars in Denmark, until his luck ran out at last in Britain. After being shipwrecked on the English coast during a freak storm, he was captured by Anglian king Ælla of Northumbria and put to death in an infamous manner by being thrown into a pit of vipers.

Although he is something of a hero in his native Scandinavia, most accounts of his life are of suspect veracity and are heavily influenced by ancient Viking sagas. Bron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lodbrok

Er komt over een tijdje een trilogie uit over de Carthaagse generaal Hannibal Barkas die vele slagvelden won tegen de Romeinen, voordat hij werd verslagen in Carthago (Noord-Afrika). Een heel interessante geschiedkundige figuur en zeker een van grootste generaals die ooit heeft geleefd. Werd geroemd door Napoleon en de Amerikaanse bevelhebber Schwarzkopf tijdens de Golfoorlog in 1991 voor zijn geniale oorlogstactieken. Leefde ongeveer 200 jaar voor Spartacus.

Als Napoleon een persoon ooit de hemel in heeft geprezen, dan weet je dat het uitmuntend is. Napoleon zijn IQ wordt geschat op 140. Hannibal Barkas en Spartacus hebben een ding gemeen. Het zijn de enige mannen die het de Romeinse rijk op Italiaans grondgebied moeilijk hebben gemaakt. Het rijk vierde in hun tijd hoogtij en was een grootmacht. Het Romeinse rijk zou pas 450 a 500 jaar na de dood van Spartacus vallen als het verzwakt is door interne conflicten. De Vandalen zullen dan tekeer gaan, slachtpartijen en alles wordt vernield. Van de Vandalen stamt het woord 'vandalisme' af. Hoe die tekeer gingen in Rome als je de geschiedenis erop na leest. Het waren niet meer dan een stelletje wilden, maar ze waren met velen en gingen tekeer. De Vandalen zijn de voorouders van de Duitsers.

Onbegrijpelijke uitspraak. Daarnaast heb ik geen idee wat 'VFX' zou moeten betekenen, maar ik neem aan dat 'special effects' niet hip genoeg meer klinkt. Fijne dag meneer
