The film highlights of the ninth legion

The Roman Empire has a vast territory. As one of the most prosperous countries in the ancient history of the world, Rome's reputation comes not so much from the cultivation of cultivated land as from the powerful army that destroyed everything. Of all the legions in the empire, the Ninth Legion is the most famous one. Founded by Julius Caesar, Octavian was reorganized and invincible, and his reputation spread far and wide. However, it mysteriously disappeared in the mountains of Scotland when Rome invaded Britain in the second century A.D. and never appeared again. Unsolved mysteries always arouse people's curiosity, and Hollywood always likes to do something to join in the fun.

Therefore, although the film Centurion, which was led by the new Bond girl and paved the way for the Ninth Army, was released last year, Kevin McDonald (The Last Scottish King), a director with many Oscar backgrounds, took advantage of this enthusiasm and starred in the new version of the Ninth Army. Of course, compared with "Centurion" which takes the B-class movie route, this movie with huge investment is really full of confidence. It is not only adapted from a best-selling historical novel, but also written by a veteran screenwriter, Jeremy Brock ("Revisiting the Old Place"), who put the photographer in charge of the picture. The director himself is of Scottish descent, comes from a famous family and has a special liking for political themes. Is a good candidate to shoot the eagle of the ninth army in the Scottish highlands.

These days, even if the connotation is solid, it is still beyond the jade. Duncan kenworthy, the producer who stepped down as the chairman of the British Film Academy, naturally won't have a problem with the ticket. His old man knows very well that spectators who pass the time with popcorn and coke don't like to talk about life and philosophy with a straight face. They prefer brave and militant muscular men. As a result, the United States, Britain and France, three young people who are on the rise, were all taken under his command-the tall and stylish channing tatum challenged the cold weapon action era

The lack of acting skills has its own skills to make up for it; Jamie Bell, a little ballet boy who jumped out of My World, has grown into a lean and agile young man. Tahar rahim, who was aggressive in the popular French film The Prophet in 2009, became a violent prince. The most rare thing is that perhaps because he returned to his hometown, the director did not make the film an imperial epic unrealistically, but paid more attention to suspense, adventure, friendship and the distinctive Scottish highlands. In this way, the film is a little less serious and more entertaining, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to avoid throwing a dog and eating shit.
