Historical Movie History
Historical Movie
I like to watch historical movies, because they are interesting, you don’t need to read a book, and in the movies a lot of cool effects.
Hollywood did a lot of historical movie with really cool special effects, but I don’t like them movies, because they always lie. I mean in old movies, like 300 spartans and another they create movie like was in the book, but another movies about world wars and another they lie. Hollywood create movie where America is the main and America always beat bad guys.
History movies common in one part. Every history movie tell us about people brave who can die for protective home country and

    For the most part the History surrounding "Braveheart" is accurate, but there are several significant people and events which simply do not match up historically. After watching the movie and reviewing the history behind it, it becomes clear that Hollywood felt they needed to alter several things in order to make the film more entertaining to their viewers. It is interesting to compare the depiction of the characters and events portrayed in the movie to the actual history that surrounds them.…

    One thing the movie tries to teach us is the struggle to come to one’s sexuality, Sometimes in life one’s sexuality is harder than we think. In the movie, “The History Boys”, the film showcases this reality in two different viewpoints. The first viewpoint would be through the perspective of a teenage boy. The teenage boy, Posner, exemplifies this quality by simply living in a world of social awkwardness while theoretically becoming a man. The second viewpoint would be through the perspective of an older man. In the story, two older men named Hector and Irwin reproduce this lesson by both repressing their desires due to social norms. One represses himself by touching inappropriately boys, while the other stays in silent. Both of these men…

    Movies make a huge impact on how we view history. Even though a movie says it is based on a true event, it is not always historically accurate. The movie 300 is based on a true story. The movie portrays how the boys grew up. How the Spartans fought is also historically accurate. There is also some material in there that is not historically accurate or we don’t know if it happened.…

    Filmed historical movies have become a prime source of knowledge about the past. Historians can not deny that, but they can find glitches and certain details or events that Hollywood has tweaked that give viewers a different perception sometimes. Watching ‘Alexander’ and researching true facts about Alexander the Great has given me a clearer view on how history portrayed though Hollywood films can sometimes be misleading with details.…

    Fiction films are often stigmatised by historians, as they distort the truth, causing problems when trying to use them as a source. Their wildly varying content matter, inaccuracies, and bias make them hard to use. Film does not simply suggest a worldview; it states, and we experience, its existence as truth, which is the fundamental power and danger it poses to the observer. One cannot deny, however, film’s phenomenal impact in the twentieth century, drastically changing the way we see the world and how we absorb information. In this way, film is best considered as one stage in the ongoing history of communications. As a historical medium, therefore, fiction film can be very valuable, as despite fictitious content, it still has the potential…

    After watching the films Titus (1998) and Elizabeth (1998), it has come to my attention that both of these films consist of two things. These two things that stuck out to me are violence and history. I will also be touching very briefly on the religious mechanics that drive these two films. Now many great movies contain these important aspects, but it’s the way that Julie Taymor (Titus) and Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) have used them to portray the times and above all else, provide us with great films to have in our library. I will be discussing in detail the similarities and differences of these two films with regards to the violence, history, and religious motifs behind them.…

The movie was about a young man with a mental disability that goes through this major event in the 1960 – 1970s not only that but it was kind of romantic.

    The first movie I choose to do was, “Gladiator”. It was released in the year 2000, and also won the Oscar for best picture. The director was Ridley Scott. The motion picture shows a lot of blood and people get slaughtered. In addition, the film has a lot of hand to hand combat with multiple types of arms included; swords, axes, and maces. Most of these scenes were shorter. The encounters that included more than just hand to hand combat tended to last longer. Some more of these missiles were; spears, bows, and catapults. Nearly every violent scene in the film someone dies or multiple people are getting slain. They show a lot of the gore and witness the stabbing being placed.…
