Greetings! Well, well. I think that I found a real gem of a film here, with "The Legend of Tomiris". The film is about Tomiris--a Saka girl that is the daughter of a Saka Chieftain, a Bronze Age/Iron Age barbarian tribe living on the great Steppes of Central Asia 3000 years ago, before Greece, before Rome, in the time of the majestic Persian Empire, under the leadership and rule of the mighty King Cyrus the Great. Tomiris is trained to be a warrior by her father, Spargap. Tomiris experiences many hardships, and becomes a hunted fugitive and wanderer after her father Spargap is brutally assassinated by traitor clan nobles that want to ally with the more civilized and sophisticated Kwarezmians. Eventually, Tomiris fights her way back into leading her tribe, the Massegetai, and becomes Queen. She heroically unites the tribes of the Steppe against the great invasion by the Persian Empire, who invades the Steppe with Persia's full army, led personally by King Cyrus. This is a fantastic historical movie, a great adventure which embraces themes of love, loyalty, and fortitude. The film has outstanding actors and actresses, great production values, cinematography, and everything. It is an inspiring film that you will likely enjoy very much! Now, the film also has a number of interesting elements for gaming. The historical time frame--in the ancient world, and covering a barbarian Steppe culture, it shows many aspects of traditional clothing, armour, weaponry, as well as culture and ordinary living conditions. Also of special roleplaying note, are the social aspects, politics, the ruthless scheming going on, treason, usurpers, resistance to empires, and the conflicting goals and ambitions of different characters and people. the details on display throughout the film are really awesome and inspiring! I also appreciate some of the careful strategies and depictions of combat in general, but in particular combat involving Tomiris and fighting against male warriors. Tomiris of course is most successful when fighting at range with her bow, but also does well in close combat. she must always be quick, fluid, and flowing, fighting with her sword and dagger, as well as a shield and spear at different times. whenever she gets in too close, as it were, or is a step too slow, she definitely pays for it. even when she manages to survive and emerge victorious, she is often beaten to a pulp, and is a total mess. she wins, but she literally pays for her victories hard. I find this movie to genuinely attempt to display realistic combat, realistic fighting, as well as not shying away from absolute violence and blood of combat. I think it is especially meaningful that the film shows Tomiris being a genuinely strong, tough, and courageous woman, driven by love, loyalty, and fortitude, and is in stark contrast to the absolutely fake woke "Super-woman" depictions of American films. It is also meaningful that Tomiris is not some fake, overwrought, SJW super-woman; rather, she is a real woman, a genuine character from history. Tomiris really was a Queen and chieftain's daughter; she really did train and fight as awarrior; and she really did unite the Steppe tribes in resistance to the Persian Empire-- and the mighty King Cyrus the Great of Persia, really did meet his end from Tomiris, and had his head cut off and displayed for all the tribes to see. The Persian Empire was not invincible, and a brave woman stood forth and brought that lesson to absolute clarity to the world, and to the Persian Empire. Quite a humbling for the world's greatest empire at the time. So, there is so much going on here. I found myself overjoyed with ideas for tribes, culture, armour, weapons, various plots and adventure scenarios, the inspiration for gaming in a campaign is incredible. I've gone on for long enough though. Watch the film, and take some notes. Tell me what you think of the film! There are so many issues here to be inspired by. I love it! I love how many details in this film are useful for a gaming campaign, especially dealing with the ancient world and tribal life amongst a Steppe environment. Semper Fidelis, SHARKVIDEO
