The two movies about Arn are so underrated it hurts. It's not only fantastic at the action and about the wars he takes part in, but also shows the everyday life in a really realistic and accurate way. Not only are we shown the everyday life of Arn, but also the people closest to him. So great movies for people interested in Medieval Scandinavia, although most is in Swedish so subtitles will be required if you don't speak it XDDD

I have loved Kingdom of Heaven from day 1, but haven't seen the directors cut, so I may have to upgrade my dvd. Another wonderful historical movie I love is King Arthur (the 2004 version) who has a ton of fantastic actors. If you watch the dvd make sure that afterward you watch the part where they explain how it was made. Many interesting bits, including the fact that the swords they used in the movie were not movie prop swords, but swords actually made to historical length and weight. And as someone else mentioned, the movie The 13th Warrior is also fantastic!

This makes me happy. I have taken a lot of flak from my family over the years for my love of Kingdom of Heaven. I class it as an interesting failure on Ridley Scott's part as opposed to Gladiator which was a howling success that I enjoyed but never felt I wanted to watch again. I also like Ironclad which I felt you were a little hard on. It has a fantastic cast and in a weird way reminds me of Last of the Mohicans. I guess I just love siege movies. Centurion I have seen and enjoyed and this renews my desire to see Risen. Will check out Arn as well. Thanks.

Hello, I am an Iranian and I am proud of the great and proud history of my country. Throughout the history of Iran, there have been many betrayals, and I repeat that all countries have had problems with us Iranians and were jealous and sometimes afraid of our greatness. I am a pacifist person and I don't like war, but I see in all the histories of other countries for Iran that they have not said many things and have problems with us. It is true that Iran is not a good country in 2024 and dictatorial events will happen there, but if you were in Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1357 and you saw the strength and power of Iranians who were first or among the top ten countries in many important issues, you would be surprised. you would be beaten You may not know that during the Pahlavi rule in Iran, the Shah and several other countries were creating a dollar in the name of OPEC, and the United States of America did many things out of fear of the currency falling and the dollar becoming less valuable, which unfortunately succeeded. . So don't joke with us humans who have 7500 years and more valuable history with these lies. Be sure that in most countries of the world (the planet) there is a lot of dictatorship and coercion to the people, and the country of Iran always suffers from this great problem. But never forget that many things were done by Iranians and.... You may ask me that you Iranians have only had a good history, and I must answer that this question is 50% correct. Why? I will answer now. During 7500 years and more in this country, there have been many betrayals. Many worthless things have happened and always some people, whether Iranian, foreign, English or American, were looking for throne and power, and you should know that a country has not all its people good and has had many regrets and has taken away our reputation. Even now, as you can see, our country says it is good, it says it on time and that's it. The only person who built one of the largest governments with appropriate culture and technology ahead of his time in 7400 years ago, and most of the historians of the world know him, was (Koresh Kabir) and all

Thiesen is New Testament scholar and historian, but his is a historical novel and not an academic piece of history. I think it would make a great movie. Another Biblical historical novel, which was turned into quite a good film is Barrabas by Par Lagerkvist, which was written in the mid-50's. It was made into a film in 1961 starring Anthony Quinn and it was directed by Richard Fleischer. That is probably the best American Biblical film of its period.

Thanks for that list. There are a couple I have not heard of and will look forward to watching. For me, 'Centurion' was spoiled by the filming against modern vegetation which is very obvious since I live in Scotland. We have had 350 years of sheep that have destroyed almost all the original forest on the hills.

@@HistorySpark Yes it is a good film that tells the story of the founding of my country. The second book in the series (The knights templar) is the only book that takes place in the holy land and it's one of the only western books about the crusades that are praised in the Muslim world for how both sides of the conflict is portrayed. The author Jan Guillou is on of Sweden's most famous journalist's and you can see in the books how much research he did into the history he wanted to tell. He even made a documentary about the making of the books where he took you back to the monasteries, churches and other historical landmarks mentioned in the books that still stand today. If you can find the books translated to your languish you should read them and the sequel Arn's legacy (Arvet efter Arn). That book follows the real life person Birger Jarl who in the series is made into Arn's grand son. He was the man who built Stockholm and finally united the three kingdoms of West and East Götaland with Svealand into one permanent kingdom. And you should also read his 10 part spy series of the Swedish James Bond, Carl Gustav Gilbert Hamilton. A field operator for Swedish military intelligence Trained in computers at UNSC I think and a Navy SEAL. He got the ide for the series when he was sent to jail as a spy because as a journalist he published classified information about illegal spy activities the Swedish security police was preforming against the Swedish population.

I love Kingdom of Heaven, but it is less accurate than you indicate. Balian de Ibelin was a VERY minor player in the whole thing, and Baldwin V was Sybilla's son, not brother. Those are not just "stumbles," at least not in my view. The only 1 I haven't seen is Risen. Arn is easily one of my favorite movies of all time, though the author/director took lots of liberties with it as well.
@d.t.3263
@d.t.3263 3 жыл бұрын
Agree that the movie wasn't very accurate (e.g Balian wasn't born in France, and wasn't locksmith). However, can't agree on some points. Baldwin the Lepper King in the movie was not Baldwin V. In fact in the movie it was never mention which Baldwin he was. In the history the Lepper King of Jerusalem was Baldwin IV who was indeed Sybille's brother while Baldwin V was indeed her son. Regarding Balian of Ibelin he was far from being the very minor player. He was in fact THE king maker supporting Raymond III of Tripoli over regency of Baldwin the IV and later over Baldwin V and of course the last commander of the defense of Jerusalem.

I would not say "totally (inaccurate)". Balian was indeed a defender of Jerusalem, for which he received a permission from the Saladin himself. The movie didn't show that he was at the Battle of Hattin, and escaped with the rearguard. Also the romance with Sibylla is fictional, as well as his place of birth. He was born in Jerusalem. So I'd say "partially inaccurate" :)
