If you could take any historical event and have it made into a movie (and it would be made to your liking) which historical event would it be? Hannibal? Maccabees? Etc.
I’m on it! ;)
I’d like to see a movie (or a miniseries) about the death of Edward the Confessor and the run up to the Battle of Hastings.
Well, I have long mused upon my Galileo movie, written and directed by, and starring yours truly.
Galileo on his balcony, putting his eye to his rudimentary telescope and seeing the moons of Jupiter. That was a moment.
president Obama leaving the white house and being arrested for treason two years later when the extent of his crimes our learned and can not be denied.
I’d like to see a movie on the Islamic coup going on currently in Washington!
The REAL story of Chivington and Sand Creek, and the battle of the Washita. Completely different from what the popular view is.
Same for Waba Yuma and Captain Jack and the Lava Beds Battle.
“This is the WEST, and when the legend becomes fact, you print the legend.”-The Man who shot Liberty Valence.
Lepanto. I still recall my visit to Spain in which iI found in a museum the flag of of Don Juan of Austria. It was on a mast and was HUGE. How many Americans know of the battle and the victory that saved Italia from a Turkish invasion.
Co-starring Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye.
Historical event, not science-fiction.
My biggest fear is that they don't capture Uhtred's character properly. Cornwell portrays him as a pagan, yes, but the fact that he is as a whole an arrogant, selfish, angry person ultimately indicts his own outlook as much as the Christian one he so dislikes. The BBC could very possibly focus on the anti-Christian aspect of Uhtred's character and leave the other, equally important facets of his personality untouched.
In any event, I won't be passing up the series unless it turns out to be worse than the History Channel's Vikings, which is a pretty low bar for acceptance!
A side story could include the decision making process behind selecting the aircraft for the mission. At first, the Army considered the B-18, B-23, and B-26 before settling on the B-25.
How about a movie celebrating diverse cultures, a movie about the discovery of Kuru among the Papua cannibals?
Nowhere to be found in the galaxy!
I might note that these luminaries have had their chances!
But have we seen this scene? Not that I know of!
I have always thought that the Spartans were extraordinarily brave at Thermopylae, all 300 of them.
What confuses me is how the 800+ from Thespia (pretty much their entire male population) that also gave their lives under Spartan command are glossed over/forgotten is a travesty.
The machinations that led to the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. That would be an eye opener for many.
You seem to be mixing your Biblical stories...
It’s Samson and Delilah, or David and Goliath.
Perhaps I missed your sarcams tag?
You forgot Russell Crowe!!
