Ok, let's say until 1800s to include the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War too.

Has anyone here watched The Fall of the Roman Empire?

It looks just great for being a movie from 1964.

This part with the mannequins been run over by the chariots is both funny but looks good too.

Just finished watching Gladiator incidentally
What a great movie.
There are still a few moments that stood out to me that really dated it as being a late 90's/early 2000's production, but otherwise it's incredible for the time and it broke the historicals curse that was gripping Hollywood.

This is my favorite movie, I know it's not the deepest or most historically accurate but god damn if it isn't emotional. Women will never understand this film either.

What happened to all the historical epic movies? We got a bunch of them in the early 2000s and then barely anything.

>but otherwise it's incredible for the time
You are talking like if the 90s there was no modern computer effects.

The Fall of the Roman Empire is a movie that is great for the time because it was pre CGI era.

But yeah Gladiator is for me one of those perfect movies, like Breavehart and others.

Most historical epics are almost complete bullshit.

Master and Commander

I don't know. The last big one was Kingdom of Heaven, right?

Maybe it was because the comic era started and all the studios switched to make those type of movies because they saw more profit there. Remember that the majority of people that go to the theater are teenagers or early 20s and they like more comic movies and that stuff. I still remember watching Silence in the theater and hearing many teenagers just pissed because the movie was boring for them. Historic movies are not for that type of audience.

is this movie actually based? or is it a chick flick with a few minutes of action.

Dude all movies have their errors, yeah they make things that are not historically accurate but FOK OFF nobody cares (too much) about your autistic historical little details. Go back to /his/ if you want to talk about extremely accurate historical things.

If anything it'll be a British-American co-production. Many movies are co-produced between those two countries.

you realize an "epic" by definition is already bullshit and exaggerated? that's the whole point of making them.

Ok retard. I’m not saying they aren’t entertaining or don’t have a right to bend things for artistic interpretation. But movies like Gladiator or Kingdom of Heaven don’t just have “autistic little” flaws. They’re like totally fabricated crap that morons take as historical fact.

re-watched this recently and my god was I ever unimpressed. The actual historical account of what happened was 10x more profound than "muh white man killed natives and is bad, le guns vs swords". Still a highly entertaining movie but if they just told the real story of Saigo Takamori and relayed the actual events it would have been way better. His entire reasoning for rebelling purely driven by honor, and this movie didn't portray that nearly well enough.

Obviously in this context I meant the “Epic” genre of film, not epics as in classical literature. Don’t be mean.

There were actually teenagers serving as officials or learning to be officials in the British Navy?

I was expecting this to be liberal propaganda but it was actually quite well done. It didn't portray the confederates as evil baby eating demons, it accurately showed the corruption within the union, pillaging and looting innocent southerners, it accurately portrayed the open racism that all parts of america had towards blacks, it wasn't just the southerners who called them niggers and treated them like second class citizens, in fact in the movie you only see union states treating them like garbage with the exception of one southern woman. It didn't even harp on the muh slavery aspect of the war, it was more about free men fighting for their country.

Ok I see you area reasonable guy so I'm going to keep answering you. Gladiator was never meant to be a real story. It's a fictional story set in a real time period. If people believe that the story of the movie really happened like that is because they are not able to make a simple search on the internet.

nothing can stop retarded americans from thinking something is real, that doesn't mean these movies are bad.

Anyone knows of a good Historic/Epic movie after Kingdom of Heaven (2005)?

Post some of them.

>I was expecting this to be liberal propaganda

ofc you were user. you're a thick twat

any movie about war must be thought of as liberal propaganda until proven otherwise.

I thought everyone knew that. Then again I also thought every contemporary navy did the same.

Midshipmen would start very young, yes.

Yes, kids as young as 8 served on those ships, kids from naval families would also join up and usually rose in the ranks pretty fast, the kid in your picture is a Midshipman, the lowest rank of officer.

Imagine one of those kids. When he was 16 he was already a fucking man. He would fuck up 30s years old from today.

Has anyone here watched Il Primo Re (The First King). It is set in the legendary story of Romulus and Remus and the origin of Rome in 750 BC.

It looks that is not a superproduction but I'm going to give it a watch because I haven't watched a movie set in that time period before.

Outlaw King (2018) is another recent Historical/Epic that looks good too.

Another recent historical/epic movie.

Nameja Gredzens (The Pagan King) (2018)

Low budget but set in another historical era and place where I haven't watched any movie before.

1200s in Latvia when the Christians were conquering those lands.

It's nothing special, but well worth a watch if you're into this sort of stuff

>hunted ship was American in the book
>make it French in the movie because mutts can't handle being the bad guys

In what year is the movie set?

Ok, I think it is set in 1800.

>the only time romans lost to germanics was when they trusted a germanic
hmm

Would have been better with Seagal

early Napoleonic wars

>VARUS GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS

>When he was 16 he was already a fucking man
Even back in my dad's youth that was normal. He became a sailor at like 15 and went all around the world. Now I'm nearing 30 and I spent multiple hours a day shitposting on this god awful website. Oh how the times have changed.

Your parents are the main responsible for the weak man that you have become.

Possibly. My parents were old when they had me and I'm the 4th kid of my dad's. I had in many ways a great childhood but I guess it didn't exactly set me up that well for real life. But it does feel like a cop out to blame it all on my parents. I could've just not been a lazy sack of shit.

yeah, it's pretty good, not historically accurate in the slightest if that bothers you

Troy had some great fight scenes. Both one on one and army vs. army

You became a lazy piece of shit because of your parents. We all are mostly an outcome, like an 80% of what was our childhood and adolescence and our parents are the ones that have to guide us to become strong men during that time. You parents can be good people but that doesn't mean that they were good parents. Being a good parent isn't only give food and buy things to your children. It's much more than that. I am old enough to have confirmed this theory in many many people. If you want to discover why a person is a lazy piece of shit, loser and with no friends then or if he is an alpha, you just have to know his parents and learn what type of childhood and adolescence that he had. By the age of 18 your personality is shaped. You still have a little time in university to know new people and maybe that helps you to change a little but if you lose that opportunity, by the age of 25+ it's over.
