I miss when historical epics were historically accurate
i'm not a history buff
disingenuous faggot OP kill yourself and your mother is hopefully already dead
About three of those pictures definitely aren't.
>>220509229I don't care about historical accuracy as long as the movie sticks to the general principle and portrays Europeans in European civilization.
I miss when they were kino instead of fatiguing agitprop
>>220509229this is some tasty bait but I don't have time for it
>>220509229Kill yourself brownoid
>>220509229Braveheart and Kingdom of Heaven get a lot of criticism, Alexander is historically accurate, The Last Samurai is historical fiction within a fairly accurately portrayed era, can't speak for Troy. And no, they're not comparable to what's happening with The Odyssey.
>>220509229Please remove Alexander from this. It is too gay even when talking about an obvious sodomite.
>>220509229these aren't accurate either they just have white people
>>220509229I miss when OP wasn't a faggot. Oh wait, he always was.
>>220509352For 4chan, that is enough.
Were you there? Then shut the fuck up
>>220509383LMAOgotta admit his eyes are looking a bit slanted here, good effort
The Odyssey is a work of fiction. Just like Hamlet or Moby-Dick are works of fiction. Would you prevent a black actor from playing Hamlet or Ahab in a film version?
>>220509469yes
>>220509469as a matter of fact I would
>>220509469White Othello
>>220509229>historically accurateThat's a stretch but at least they had less niggers in em
>>220509229>historically accurate
>>220509229>thinly disguised american revisionism and propagandafixed
I miss movies where they cast actors that looked at least somewhat like how I imagine those characters should look, actors that "fit" into their roles, instead of sticking out like sore thumbs and taking me out of the movie because of how absurdly out of place they are
>>220509274Historically accurate no, historically authentic yes
>>220509469Yes, hamlet is ripped off enough you don't actually have to call it hamlet and then you can get away with it but you're shit out of luck if you wanna race bend captain ahab
>>220509229Correctly adapting the symbols > historic accuracy
>>220509229Kek. Braveheart is like making a WW2 movie but having the soldiers fight in medieval armor and swords. The getup worn by the "Scots" in the movie was 500 years out of date.
>>220509229i'm down with whatever as long as it truly captures enough of the essence of the original stories (be they fictional or not).otherwise you have to be honest about straying from the source, and especially don't pretend like you're still honoring the original. Nolan's case? it'd be best to call it the culmination of his cringe "please find me relatable and righteous" arc and leave it at that.
>>220510186I'll hand it that, sure.
They weren't but it was fun times while it lasted.
>>220509229>a fucking paddy as alexander the greatoliver stone is a terrible director and a cia asset
>>220509229but none of those are historically accurate. Not by a long shot.>>220510186I would say even that is questionable.
I just don't like niggers
>>220509229I miss when historical epics had verisimilitude and where good!This is how a non disingenuous person would phrase it, faggot
>>220509469They are works of fiction but take place in the time and era of when they were written.
>>220512883>>220512836>>220511039>>220509730>>220509686>>220509547>>220509352>>220509336>>220509326>>220509274Were you there? No? Then shut the fuck up
>>220509469Yes, like any normal person.The only black role in Moby Dick is one of the three master harpoonersMiss me with your racist political "benevolence". Make something else if you want a different cast
>>220511189Very well said
>>220509229They were ethnically accurate, which is all that matters
>>220509229How did Braveheart know about the Battle of Bannockburn?!>Braveheart was decapitated and dismembered >his arms and legs sent to the four corners of Britain>his head was placed on London Bridge>but near the end of the movie he is talking about what happened at the Battle of Bannockburn>It would take 6 hours for his head to get from London Bridge to Bannockburn by rail, according to Google>But trains weren't around in the 1800s so he would have to go there by foot>But his feet were in other corners of BritainHow was he able to get there? Did he have a head start?
>>220509229Literally none of these are even remotely historically accurate. What you meant to say was, you miss when historical epics had no shitskins.
>>220514219The wrong Scott died
>>220514351What he meant to do is trolling.What we normal people everywhere actually miss is verisimilitude and lack of non diegetic politics
>>220509469Lad, after years of this racial horseshit i would prevent a black person from even thinking about the role of Queequeg.
>>220512836Recast Alex.
>>220514329They had better maps back then.
>>220515451Scully's dog?
>>220509326>Alexander is historically accurateNot really.
I'm tired of whitewashing in every single historical story. You can't even escape from it in video games.
WE WUZ GREEKS AND SHIET! WATCH ME CRANK ITWATCH ME ROLL
>>220509229None of those were historically accurate. But at least they didn't have contempt for the era and people they were trying to portray.
>>220515497Ishmael's polynesian cuddlebuddy and whalestabber extraordinaire.But yes, Scullys dog too of course.
>>220515497
>>220514219Why is this midwit argument viral?
IN MY EYES THE LOTR TRILOGY WERE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE
>>220515652there were 3 master harpooners on the Pequod.One was Qeequeg, PolynesianAnnother one was native americanThe last one was blackthat's the only role a black would have in Moby Dick, and after the last 15 years I'd whitewash him on purpose
>>220515675It had verisimilitude
>>220509229Alexander was the one that was most historically accurate, at least the battle scenes. They should have cut out the gay scenes and the scenes with the Persian dancing trans things.
>>220515504>>220509326We have no idea about what actually happened with Alexander, because his earliest written biographies were written 100+ years after his death.
>>220509326I remember watching on Fox News in the 2000s that the Greeks and Macedonians were not happy with he film because of the gay stuff. Then the movie released and it flopped proving that the Greeks and Macedonians were right.
>>220516063But Millennials love that gay shit. Eat it up.
>>220509229None of these movies are historically accurate
>>220509229When people say "historically accurate" they mean "cool and White and manly", which is what history was.
>>220514219I didn't say I cast him!I said I passed him on the hard shoulder once.
>>220515663Precisely because it's so stupid it's shocking.
>>220509229None of these is historically accurate.
>hehe OP those aren't ackshully historically accurate! I am very intelligent! I'm telling you new information you didn't know!
>>220509229just say I miss when "historical" epics were white, no need to beat around the bush here
>>220509229Historical accuracy, bitching is just a thing now because everyone can fact check every minor detail on the internet so they can feel smart
>>220509274Mark that 5.
>>220516080Only the Leftist Vegans who laugh at people watching Glenn Beck's show on Fox News or just watching Fox News in general are the ones who eat that gay shit. Same Leftist students who will sit through class while watching a film adaptation of Jean Genet's Quarelle.
>>220514756wait is this implying the future is muslims ruling the world?
>>220509326>The Last Samurai is historical fictionIt's inspired by a real guy though
>>220517385I'm still trying to figure out what "AMENIC" is supposed to mean.
>>220516062The fact that what we know is not 100% precise, doesn't means that it's 0% precise
>>220514219Yes, I was there. It didn’t happen that way. William Wallace had a slight stutter. Great speaker, though.
>>220516101At least in Europe
The Last Samurai 90% orientalist 'wow so cool' bs loosely inspired by real history
>>220516308I miss when white "historical" epics about white history were whiteHappy now?
>>220517407Guy or guys?
>>220517440Orientalism is based
>>220517440>makes no mention of the contrived Union soldiers slaughtering innocent Indian villagers backflashes storyline to further bolster the historical inaccuracies of TLS argument.
>>220516896>film adaptation of Jean Genet's QuarelleIs it good? The book was kino
>>220509469Would you prevent white people from playing characters in a work of fiction created solely by and for some other race. What if you had a very old epic tale created by africans filled with african characters and culture, and they made a movie of it and made the characters white people, or mexican people, or japanese people? The odyssey is more than just any work of fiction. Its not really like hamlet or moby dick at all. Its much bigger older and more important than those, and was created by and for white people in the western world!
>>220509229>Gladiator>Historically accurate Lmaoo
It's interesting how "historically accurate" only means skin color to you guys. I'm sure you can find a lot of errors in clothing and architecture in all those movies, but you never hear any complaining about that.
>>220517407It was an amalgamation of three different people. Two FRENCH officers who actually fought in Japan’s civil war and the American guy never even went to Japan because he died during the civil war, and in his case they just took his backstory where he had fought against native tribes.
>>220519764
>>220520016So this is the newest "automatically win all arguments" card?
Fuck accuracy. They're still great movies.
>>220509229history isn't historically accurate, most of what you learn in schools was invented by the bongoids and later certain oligarchy
