the eagle aka a love story

pandaemonial:

starring channing tatum as the dopey roman soldier and jamie bell as his feisty briton slave. channing takes jamie north of hadrian’s wall to get the golden eagle back from the wildlings.

spoilerz forthcoming:

it all starts when channing sees jamie go all ‘fuck this russell crowe gladiator shit’ and throw down his sword in the ring.

image

he gets the shit smacked out of him anyway and is about to get shanked

image

but channing just can’t handle it. he gets everyone to do the joaquin phoenix thumbs up so jamie baby can live.

imageimageimageimage

uncle donald ships it so he gives jamie to channing as his slave. except jamie’s butthurt because he’s a briton and hates all romans and he kinda wants to kill channing.

image

channing has to get leg surgery. one of jamie’s slave duties is to “hold him down”

image

it’s visceral.

channing decides to take jamie with him on his mission because he’s part wildling and because channing really has no idea wtf he’s doing. their journey north is full of awkward sidelong glances.

imageimageimageimage

jamie starts having feels. he wants to kill channing a little less every day.

imageimage

then they come across mark strong with a weird american accent.

image

he tells them the seal people have the eagle. so channing and jamie find the seal people and jamie has to pretend like channing is HIS slave so they don’t get suspicious

imageimage

jamie really sells it.

image

except channing thinks jamie actually turned on him and is super depressed… until jamie wakes him up in the middle of the night to go snatch the eagle!

image

they grab the thing and get the fuck outta there. only channing’s leg hurts and he can’t walk. he’s all “take the eagle! go on without me!”

imageimageimage

dude runs his ass off to save channing. and then

image

they kill the bad guys together, return the eagle and ride off into the sunset together.

imageimage

the end.
