Wasn't sure who to cheer for
The Romans?
The movie favored Quintus and his fellow brothers caught behind enemy line trying to get home. Easy to be sympathetic for them and forget that they were the invading army.
The Picts?
Portrayed as barbaric and crazy. But they had their lands encroached upon by the Romans who would assimilate their culture. And I could understand Gorlacon wanting retribution for his son. I would like to see this movie from the Picts point of view.
A few things weren't clear to me. Maybe I missed something:
--How did Agricola come across Etain. Where did he originally find her.
--How did Quintas escape from the Picts. One second he's in a cell, and the next he's on the run.
--Regarding the note Quintus read at the camp: Who exactly was that note left for.
