英俊小生钱宁•塔图姆华丽转变

 When it comes to the Rome Empire, most of us will think about the ancient Roman Corps¹ with bravery, fighting skills and relentless² discipline which really impress people of generations. Have you heard about the story of Roman Ninth Legion who mysteriously disappeared in Scotland highlands in 135AD? If you don’t know much, let’s look at Channing Tatum’s performance in The Eagle.

 

American actor Channing Tatum stars as Marcus Aquila who has played as soldiers in several other films like Dear John etc. With a height of 185 cm and handsome figure, Channing Tatum really did very well in the film. The fighting skills and the wildness of the Roman soldiers all mastered wisely by the young actor.

 

Tatum was athletic³ while growing up, playing football, soccer, baseball, and performing martial⁴ arts and for his extraordinary energy, he was his father’s headache but this good dad always tried to lead his son to further way in sports. After graduation, Channing Tatum did many jobs from all levels and finally becomes a film star through being a model.

 

He was spokesman⁵ for D&G, CK and other world’s most famous brands. Also because of these facts, he was thought to be nothing but a handsome guy. But his experiences of early years working make him know better what he wants and through hard efforts he finally got rid of playing small roles. Her wonderful performance in She Is the Man and Step Up as the leading star really wins the name for him finally.

 

Well back to the film The Eagle, Eagle represents power, justice, elegance⁶ and wisdom. So in response to recover the eagle standard and his family name, Marcus Aquila(played by Channing Tatum), the son of the commander of the Ninth Legion, set out to solve the myth⁷. Through the journey, he went through much such as massacre⁸, battles, defeats etc. It also revealed royalty⁹ and friendship in the film.

 

we can appreciate the manhood and mettles combined perfectly¹⁰ in Channing Tatum just forget about his handsome figure and witness the blood and battles in thousands of years ago and have a look at what on earth has happened to the Ninth Legion.
