What are some lesser known historical people or events you'd like to see portrayed in film?

>Exasperated at the heroic defence of Welfs, Conrad III had resolved to destroy Weinsberg and imprison its defenders.[7] However he suspended the final assault after a surrender was negotiated, in which the women were granted the right to leave with whatever they could carry on their shoulders.

>Together the women left their possessions, and lifting their husbands onto their shoulders, headed out of town. When the king, or emperor, saw what was happening he laughed and accepted the women's clever trick, saying that a king should always stand by his word.[8] This story became known as the "Loyal Wives of Weinsberg" (Treue Weiber von Weinsberg).[5] The castle ruins are today known as Weibertreu ("wifely loyalty") in commemoration of the event.

This event is even featured in a 90s commercial for one Russian bank.

Justinian life would be amazing, you have a loli prostitute becoming empress, you have the Roman circus sports fans making a riot and threatening the empire ending with a bloodbath, you have earthquakes and volcanoes eruptions hiding the sun for a whole year, you have one of the best generals ir roman history Belisarius taking on the vandals and conquering Libia, Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica and southern spain, you have the Gothic war in Italy, the eunuch general Narses politcal intrigue, the construction of the Hagia Sophia that still stands today and on top of all that you have the Justinian plague that killed half the people.
It's just freaking amazing what happened in the 6th century.
But also expensive, Hollywood loves to make early Roman empire cause people dress with towels and sandals so it's cheap as fuck, byzantines though they had style.

By that metric, yeah. But in number of prizes taken: Bart Roberts. In terms of net worth: Sam Bellamy or Henry Every. In terms of happiest ending? Likely Henry Morgan

They weren't Americans.

A movie about Genghis Khans warrior princess

people like Jap culture and SK culture. why is nobody into Chink culture?

A movie about this event in today's climate would be a misandrist mess unfortunately. Unless Mel Gibson directs it.

Dan Carlin did a fun episode about it. That's dramatic narrative enough for me.

>Chink culture
culture is banned in China

I’ve tried reading about different periods of Chinese history and it always fails to grip me. I’m not sure if it’s because of the way the primary sources were written or the sheer scale of what’s happening, but there’s always this thing about Chinese history where trying to learn about it feels like you’re reading babby’s first fantasy novel. Way too much fluff and ambiguities for me to stay interested.
There’s also the fact that every new dynasty only feels like a slightly different version of the preceding dynasty so you’re not really getting anything new by reading about the Qing versus the Yuan. The introduction of western influence and colonialism was the real game changer and finally bucked that boring trend

Dan Carlin has an excellent free podcast on this called "prophets of doom"

Traditional cultures are coming back under Xi Jinping, who is a Han nationalist.

That's a big junk

You mean there are podcast shills on Yas Forums? I AM SHOCKED!

Dan Carlin's output would be better classified as a lecture rather than a podcast.

>so you’re not really getting anything new by reading about the Qing versus the Yuan.
But Yuan dynasty was pretty big thing in Chinese history and totally different from dynasties before that. Mongol rule rekt'd Song dynasty and altered not only China but the world in a big way.

IMAGINE TWO BOXERS IN A RING. AND ONE OF THEM IS AN ANABAPTIST...

>Cumtown's output would be better classified as a lecture rather than a podcast.

>For centuries in China, the only men from outside the imperial family who were allowed into the Forbidden City’s private quarters were castrated ones. They effectively swapped their reproductive organs for a hope of exclusive access to the emperor that made some into rich and influential politicians.

>Sun’s impoverished family set him on this painful, risky path in hopes that he might one day be able to crush a bullying village landlord who stole their fields and burned their house.

>His desperate father performed the castration on the bed of their mud-walled home, with no anesthetic and only oil-soaked paper as a bandage. A goose quill was inserted in Sun’s urethra to prevent it getting blocked as the wound healed.

>He was unconscious for three days and could barely move for two months. When he finally rose from his bed, history played the first of a series of cruel tricks on him — he discovered the emperor he hoped to serve had abdicated several weeks earlier.

>“He had a very tragic life. He had thought it was worthwhile for his father, but the sacrifice was in vain,” Jia said, in a house stacked with old books, newspapers and photos.

This. The fact that we don't have a Justinian movie pisses me off something fierce. I'd also really like one on the Flavian dynasty, mainly focusing on Domitian, the most underrated emperor.

Might not fly that well considering they installed literal true communism (tm). The harem bit is quite funny though.

What doesn't make sense? She maintained the largest pirate force ever and she managed to retire

HBO should make this as a spiritual successor to ROME

Chinese stopped being human around the 20th century

Sounds good, as long as Belisarius is black.

What do you mean? People love the civil wars and 3 kingdoms.

>Joe Kennedy and how his bootlegging
When will this bullshit myth end, Joe Kennedy wasnt a gangster or bootlegger. He had exclusive distribution rights for Canada from distillers and breweries in Europe. He was already a successful businessmen, the fact he knew it was getting smuggled over the border is insignificant. It would be like someone having the exclusive rights to distribute heineken and smirnoff

Elagabalus, played by Idris Elba of course
