Caesar the Conqueror | Historical Film | Drama | Classic Movie | Full Length

[@jansandman6983]

the roman legionnaire in this movie just charged wildly towards the enemy and fight man to man like the barbarian horde does. throwing away all the advantages of sticking tightly packed together armed with a gladius and protected by a scutum.

[@therexbellator]

I've yet to see any movie or TV show get this right, HBO's Rome comes closest but it's not accurate either. I think it comes down to the fact that Hollywood folks (and low budget sword and sandal flicks like this) either don't know or bet that most audiences don't care. There's also a good possibility that the Roman maniples system just doesn't look exciting on camera. It's probably easier to film individuals duking it out than having a choreographed line of actors going stabby-stabby-stabby.

[@billybones6463]

well i'm glad someone else is saying that they botched even the most basic elements of this story...

[@carlreed6186]

The Battle of Alesia. The Gauls had about 80,000 troops inside Alesia. Cesar had 65,000. He built fortifications all around Alesai facing both towards the city and outward. As he laid siege to the city about 250,000 more Gauls arrived and surrounded the Romans. Cesar won the battle.

[@ArtflixMovieClassics]

A great victory to be sure, though none can fault the gauls for trying to expell their oppressors. :)

[@garykeenan8591]

@@ArtflixMovieClassics The slaves Caesar took in Gaul helped fund his subsequent exploits--he made a fortune selling them.

Lucky Bastard !!!

[@billybones6463]

yes, but this depiction has little to no showing of ANY siege works or positioning and jockeying to defend such strong positions that were key to Caesar's victory. Its incredible that they instead chose to reenact pitched battles over and over at the SIEGE OF ALESIA...I must give a poor rating for the historical accuracy of this depiction...at the real battle, there was a section of earth that was not sieged up because of the terrain, and this piece of land was viciously fought over and won by Caesar by flanking the rear with his cavalry...this is like a different battle. no mention of the no man's land between the city where Vercingetorix stranded the extra mouths to feed from his camp or their terrible fate. apparently, showing the fictional love triangle between Vercingetorix, his female compatriot, and the Roman female and her love interest was more important than maintaining historical accuracy. that is just bad storytelling and a bad faith effort to educate the people all because their studio heads thought that audiences would resonate better with a story that includes love...I've got news for whatever studio put this out, people don't watch a movie about Roman warfare for the love triangle, they watch it for the Roman warfare!!!

[@billhuber2964]

You know your Roman military history. My compliments.

[@jiritichy7967]

Interesting movie, if you like battle scenes. Pompey was about in his forties and is played by a sixty-year old actor (most American war movies have 35-50-year old actors playing regular, 20-year old soldiers). The Gaul leader is freshly saved and is hair is cut in todays style. Claudius is freshly shaved after a somewhat long prison. More reality would help.

It's creepy how Caesar refers to himself in third person the whole time.

[@strangerintown3676]

Thanks for the upload, not seen this before. Cameron Mitchell played Caesar well even though his voice was dubbed.

[@maestroclassico5801]

That's not his voice? Sounds like him still. All the other actors are definitely dubbed as they're Italian

[@billybones6463]

there is a statue of him somewhere in France, but no one REALLY knows. a few famous painters may have depicted him with a beard in their depictions of the surrender scene, but really we are just guessing that since the Roman legionnaires were forbidden to have facial hair (that could be grabbed in battle) so the Gauls, in opposition to the clean-shaven Romans, were hirsute barbarians, of course. its all conjecture and no facts.

Caesar was one of the greatest historical figures in history not only was he a great general but also political and true caesar may not have created and turned rome into an Empire but he certainly pathed the path of rome but main reason for his down fall is because of 1-Crossing the Rubicon with his legions 2-Declaring War against Rome which lead to Roman Civil War 3-He Love affair with Miss Cleopatra and baring her a Son 4-He fought and went against the senate becoming and enemy of the state which would've destroyed Rome and its democracy 5-(Stating to rule Rome as its dictator and emperor or King)) which the Senate hated distained because of there final king and made Caesar rule rome as a tyrant 6- Taking away both there power and voice over the republic and its peopl which they have been in charge of since the republic was first established 7-The conquest of Gaul and other areas which funded Rome

No "professionals" in ancient warfare left any more. The last of them died about a thousand years ago.

[@seymourskinner2533]

Why is Cameron Mitchell dubbed?

[@mohammedpanju2236]

It's the way he talks and the way his lips move. His Mini Skirt is also WAY TOO SHORT - you can almost see his Balls.

[@therexbellator]

It was just the process for these older lower budget films. It would have been too expensive to isolate his dialogue from the rest of the cast and also many of these actors are also working in their own language. These movies were also made for a broad audiences in Europe and America, in order to release them in as many theaters as possible, so it was getting dubbed either way for each language.

@RexJacobus-bb1vw The numbers were all over the place. Historians just make their best guess.

[@jackbuckley7816]

Hard to imagine anyone going to see this in a theater when it came out in the 60's, I think. Drive-ins at most, on a double or triple-feature slate, I imagine, low-budget all. Moviemakers probably knowing noone would be watching anyway. As a history buff, I caught it once on a cable airing way back in late 70's or very early 80's but not since. Appears to be no improvement!

WOW, I LOVE CAESAR, from days of old when I was 8 years old. OH, O, That all most rymes great Caesar. I love the Romen fans out there. I am 67 and I found out that there are CLUBS or organisations that promote the Legioner clothing and weapons that are exstreamly scary, I never held one the Pelum? the sword, is like 5 BOWY KNIFES in one. Actually the Bowy knife is even more sc ary because of that little indentation and curve on the end for skinning I guess. But the Pelum is dam scary. Imagine if some guy was walking down the street with that thing? OK, PUT IT DOWN, NO? SHOOT HIM NOW. So these groups train frequently, there is a lot of clubs all through put the USA and of course our mother country My England. I think there are schools cammed HARM or a anacromin? like that. We are talking 8ooo dollars for a officers uniform. But you would never wear it unless you got ecepted into the club of course. You have to start from the botton mr Trump. I pretty much study Pre Romen Romen perods and the average person probably was not to phazed by all the HACKING GOING ON in the wars. There is this Archeologist that trys to day they were a peace full society in England. NOT!! Human sacrofice common was the only thing the Romens would not endorse. If you did you were a dead man. OK.

Caesar enslaved a million gauls killed another million unlike contemporary Han civilization Rome ruthless and from early Republic to late empire a civilization built on slavery so much beloved by many in Western world? ! Thankfully not all of Europe was conquered. Leave comments no censorship. PS Han society developed money paper,scientific developments,based on taxes paid by peasant owning land not vast latifundias worked by slaves Rome made major contributions to Western Civilization but many negatives more balance analysis by historians today unlike taught in schools of past generations.
