Really good
“Barbaren” is a subtitled german production that describes a specific turning point in the Roman occupation of Germania.(~9 AD)
The film spends most of its time recounting the events that led up the epic Battle of Teutoberg Forest. The plot centers on the Roman general Varus and his adopted/captive son Arminius.
Overall, it has excellent acting and an authentic air. They took some license with events as described by historians, but it’s more historically accurate than most movies. I found it to be a worthwhile watch. 4/5
Season 2! Can’t wait.. 🙈
The series Rome (2005) https://www.primewire.li/tv/13086-watch-rome is worth watching before you see this.
Agreed Rome was a masterpiece.
Damn Damn Damn! and I don’t even cuss This was amazing!! During the narrations, I’ve done jump down so many rabbit holes. SMH Interestingly it gave me more insight into human psyche 5/5 for sure.
Great but really do think that Varsus really did love Ari in his own way. He wasn’t using him like the girl said and I didn’t really understand why Folkwin wanted to kill Ari at the end. Did he know they slept together? How could he?
This was a really good series with particular interest paid to the drama and history and far less to the war aspect.
and it’s a true story!!!
