Film?

not that good of a bait. Fact that LOTR did it better 15 years ago just reinforces the point.

These are good senpai, but not the best. Especially when you consider it has the advantage of modern CGI.
The greatest cavalry charge of all time is The Battle of Aqaba from Lawrence of Arabia. No computers or CGI at that time, all pure kino.

This shitty GoT episode was only salvaged by the pretty top-tier cinematography.
Everyone's bringing up blockbuster movies. So this must be one of the best TV show battles
>>71096594
The GoT arrow shots where much more Kino than that shit
>>71096769
Obviously. I don't think any tv series in history has had a budget like Game of Thrones has, its budget basically makes it equivalent to a hollywood blockbuster.
>>71096770
Nah they were pretty standard fare, for some reason I really liked the banners hanging in Winterfell.

Ironically, Friends and ER were vastly more expensive than GoT. ER at its height was over 10 million per episode (with 20+ episode seasons) and that was back in 90s.
Also Rome had a huge budget, well over 100m. When you watch it and see they had to build everything from scratch to such amazing detail its pretty cool.
>>71097077
>Ironically, Friends and ER were vastly more expensive than GoT.
Yes but only because they payed millions to actors for every episode. Fucking greedy cunts.

well when you cast all your most important characters with shitty actors it has more impact on the overall quality than some sick cgi scenes
source: GoT
>>71096527
This is fucking sweet. Thanks dude.
>>71096594
Still the best by far. Plenty of faggots will claim its bias, but the framing for the whole scene is better.
You know that they HAVE to charge into this battle so when you have the set up for the event and the event itself in mind you can see how the elongate suspense and get you hyped over time.
You have establishing shots of both armies in as much scale as possible, you have them getting into formation, you have a speech to actually rally men, you have tons of actual people on set, you have strong motivation, strong characters, strong music, and strong (albeit simple) staging via good on the side of morning and bad by the side of night.
>>71096651
Kino.
>>71097789
Nah, Gengis as a historical figure is more exciting than Game of Thrones as a tv show.
>Jon surviving that horse charge, a fight between all those horses and massive amounts of Bolton arrows
You can have epic battles without every frame screaming PLOT ARMOR at you
>>71098237
>charging past the enemy leader
jesus christ.

Please don't.
They'd get wrecked by horse archers even before they got close.
This destroy everything about what made Genghis Khan great.
He valued tactics and the survival of his troops above all else. They had suicide troops but didn't send them in like that.
It hurts watching this scene instead of seeing a well organized Tumen attack in a coordinated pattern with planned feints and ambushes as well as traps set.
I haven't seen the episode, but from what I can tell it looks like a Helm's Deep clone. Can anyone confirm?
>couched sword
the fuck is that going to do
>>71098576
No, Helm's Deep wasn't retarded
>>71099529
It was just spastic and shit instead.
>>71096727
>>71099675
Well that's like a one-in-a-lifetime thing where they had complete control over thousands of soldiers and access to huge resources that money can't really buy.
>archers draw and hold longbow
why do they do this
>game of shitters trying to copy and beat based lotr
Stay pleb, faggots. Your show sucks ass and George Martin is a hack
>>71098237
That was literally the point of the battle.
Jon is the chosen one. Melly Sanders didn't know whether he was or not and thought he'd just die but then the battle comes and arrows are killing everyone but him.
>>71099800
Because they're not actually drawing a war bow with meter long arrows
>>71096424
LOTR is overrated garbage
Everybody is posting cavalry fighting infantry but has anything done horses clashing as well as this? This was pretty damn impressive showing them run into each other convincingly. Rest of the battle was shit though.
>>71096398
Your words are poison
>>71098009
Friends actors weren't high paid cause they were good, they were high paid because by the tenth season, they basically said to the producers "either you give us each 2 mil or we're not doing it" so the producers had no choice. Its not like GoT where they can just kill them off or replace them.
>>71100089
>Everybody is posting cavalry fighting infantry but has anything done horses clashing as well as this? This was pretty damn impressive showing them run into each other convincingly. Rest of the battle was shit though.
That's cause horse clashes very rarely happened in history, only a fucking retard of a commander would send horses against horses. I.e. D&D.
>>71096386
>literally casts Boromir and kills him
>>71095935
It was pretty similar to Rohan vs Wargs from the Two Towers.
>>71095935

Not even close.

The first thing i saw when i saw the Cav charge was Waterloo
they kind of ripped off the slow motion

>HEAVY HORSE
>>71096424
LOTR didn't do anything better. A bunch of faceless orcs fighting heroes who never die isn't exciting. The battles in LOTR are too structured. There's no sense of chaos or confusion. There's no hopelessness. That scene where Jon kills one of Bolton's soldiers and then kills one of his own Wildings in the frantic pace of war is something that would never happen in LOTR.
Fuck Tolkien. Fuck Peter Jackson. Fuck Trump.
Threadly reminder no cavalry in the history of ever would charge into a block of shoulder to shoulder men 3-5 ranks deep, even from behind.
>>71097058
Bernard Hill seems like such a stad up guy, he did an amazing job in the movies too.
>>71098237
Finally someone made good use of that shitty forced meme
>>71103324
yo tell em bae
>>71103324
>then kills one of his own Wildings
I'll take things that never happened for $2,000
>>71100972
Cavalry clashes did happen in field battles. What the fuck are you talking about? Of course horses were sent to fight other horses. Do you think both sides were okay will letting the enemy flank their infantry?

Rewatch the scene retard. Two men are fighting and Jon kills them both. It happens after the arrow volley.
>>71104447
except this doesn't happen, idiot. They were two bolton soldiers both killing one of the Stark men who was on the ground.
Wildlings don't wear leather doublets

Film Production graduate here.
Whilst LotR is more of a spectacle, GoT succeeds in humanising a battle. The Rohirrim Charge looks nice, but is so grounded in spectacle and fantasy rather than trying to attach any sort of realism, so it is flawed.
The Battle of the Bastards is objectively the opposite, it focuses more on characterisation than spectacle. The key scene is in which Jon is being trampled (a scene which was entirely improvised off-script due to time constraints). The gravity GoT achieves in The Battle of the Bastards makes it far superior in the field of story telling to most similar scenes in other productions (in my view).
I hope to see Sapochnik release a director's cut of tBotB, rather than losing 15 minutes of screentime to Danerys bullshit.
Fuck me, I made a different thread to post this.
Anyway, from a military standpoint, Jon is emotionally retarded.
>>71104966
Also, to answer OP's question, it was a decidedly genius strategy and the charge was well implemented.
>>71105021
I mean Ramsay's charge, not the reinforcements, shoot me in the head now.

Not the guy you were replying to but the instant tip off was:

It's been posted before but it's gotta be the charge by The Royal Scots Greys In Waterloo
No CGI, All extras, and the best battle ever in movies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vlcuvrM1po
>>71095935
No. Rohan charge did it better on both accounts. Then you have the charge in Kingdom of Heaven (which this one reminded me most of). Last Samurai charge too.
>>71096727
too bad the battle soundtrack aged like milk
>>71100089
What's the other anon said. In warfare you send your Calvary to attack infantry. You do not send your Calvary to attack Calvary. That is just fucking tactically stupid.
>>71097058
>bastardbowl pretty much did what you suggested
sorry faggot but you're wrong
>>71105768
Nah I'm pretty sure most of the charge in GoT was literally CGI
>>71103324
>I want my battles to be as edgy as possible
GRRM is a fat hack, btw
>>71105676
What about the other side's cav? Cav usually fights Cav in the beggining, but in the flanks, not in a frontal charge. The superior cav gets to flank the infantry of the enemy.
