I first learned about Daciens in primary school, a few years ago and since then I am interested in everything about the Dacians, I like to believe I am rather Dacian then Roman. I am 17 now and to my surprise many people my age are interested in old Romanian movies and older people also.
I watched this film today for the first time, I've always heard my father talking about Sergiu Nicolaescu and their greatness, I just wasn't really interested in any sort of Romanian movies until now. "Dacii" impressed me so much, I think it equals "Spartacus" and "Cleopatra". I've always been proud of my heritage, like all Romanians I believe and I've been reading everything I can find about it. It's such a pity our history is not world-wide known, many people could be amazed.
I am ashamed because I waited so much until watching this movie, it's a true masterpiece, if it would have been released "World-Wide" I think it would have been a block-buster.
Amza Pellea was indeed Oscar-worthy with his performance as Decebal, a well-respected Dacian King. Mr Pellea is a renown actor here, in Romania. It's such a shame the movie didn't premiered in other countries at the time.
History tells us that Decebal committed suicide, he did that rather then seeing his loved country in the hands of strangers. The truth is Dacia lost a battle, but the Romans never got to rule this lands, there have always been people fighting for freedom.
