This was the best HB intro.

T.E. Laurance is not English. His father is Irish & mother was Swidish & was born in Wales. Because of this ansestry he was confilicted as he did not feel as true English & was not accepted as English especially with Irish struggle for indepence from England. He felt at home with arabs as do most Irish even now because of common struggle against English colonialism.

28:55 The most memorable thing NASA has done since the apollo program was... done by the Canadian Space Agency

A fantastic movie

Sean Connery’s well known dislike of Italians made him so believable as a downtrodden Irish cop who was sick of seeing the “greasy wop’s” running a criminal monopoly in his city.

Sad that this video attempts to be optimistic about modern Russia. Back when we still thought that they were moving in the right direction.

Can we please have a review of First Man?

The only way your gone get a accurate depiction of these events than you would have to have been there at the actual place n time I thought it was a good movie

You left out one tiny detail with the Baltic fleet... okay, one MAJOR detail. The fact that they were so god-damn incompetent that they damn near shot THEMSELVES before they made it out of europe. And the only reason they fell for the ambush? Is because they straight up SIGNALED the ambushing ships. Because they thought they were Russian ships.

@HistoryBuffs . The cherry on to about the nickname of Bravehearth is that although Robert's nights wanted to carry his heart to Holy Land, they never reached that place. They stopped in the south of Spain and knowing that the chistian kingdom of Castille was fighting the muslim there, they joined them. It was in the battle of Teba Castle (Malaga province) were the scotish crusaders were killed in action and where Dougles suppossly said his famous last words. So they finally engaged in a crusade to defend Christendom but far from they planned at first. Nice video btw, I also loved the film.

you forgot to mention Bligh's stint as Governor of NSW, until the corrupt officers held the Rum Rebellion because of Bligh's attempts to end the corruption

I don't believe a character like Marc Antony could have delivered such a speech and rushed the mob into some "frenzy" - things like these do not just happen, and Antony was sure as hell no great "orator". I'd rather believe there were many veterans of Caesar's campaign in the crowd - mostly probably veterans of Gaul. They were promised land and riches for their services and now - with the death of Ceasar - it would have been all taken away from them. I don't know to what degree the thing was staged, but that it was initiated by Mark Antony "behind the scenes" I have little doubt.

Worth to note - the words "noble" and "known" have the same root in Latin stemming from the verb "cognoscere" - so "NOBLE" doesn't exactly mean what we intend for the word today, instead in Ancient Rome being "noble" meant "being known" or rather "very well known".

You missed a bit I just watched it and then I watched your review of it... When you first talking with Liam neeson he asks him about his military background and he mentions he's done military engineering

Thank you so much!!!!! love it!

The american recounting of this story is so insane and so batshit lying crazy I cant even phathom how this country exists when everyone in history is an inabashed liar.

It was hinted by BERIA that he posioned STALIN before he in turn was also excuted. This information was relaesed in 1987 as a result of Parastruka. In other words the Soviet Archives were opened up. It can't be proven but it has been theorized that STALIN was planning another PURGE(Like the one he had in 1937/38)......and BERIA WAS ON THE LIST!!!

Too many speeches.

The missile crisis was taught to me when I was 13-14 back in school. Now I'm almost 30 and only recently realizing how close we were to living in a very very different world. Videos and movies like this bring light to the major effort that we, as humans, need to do to stop destroying ourselves for stupid reasons becasue at the end of the day, no country is as valuable as we as a species.

not worth watching this channel if your facts and grasp of global politics is incorrect, sorry bud

That group scene with the laundromat always rubbed me wrong.

14:14 is one of my favorite movie scenes. It's so impactful!

that music intro is so annoying

Yes,it was the British Navy who brought the troops to the beaches. IMO it would have been easy for Speilberg to have that man be British...but I guess it's a relatively small "error".

Nick, I'm so proud of you and all that you continue to do. Cheers good sir

Ridley Scott really sucks at making historical accurate movies. Black Hawk Down was the only one he did right.

Is this channel shut down? Something happen?

Before I even knew of the actual story, I caught the whiff of Ace probably being made to look kinder than the actual person, I hated him, mainly because character or not, he was still a ruthless monster who abused/ manipulated his wife, all of the actual history just kind of cemented/ confirmed it

by far the best episode of the series, and I love the extended history past the film. Amazing.

Not related to goodfellas but a coworker of mine was in the yakuza or Japanese mafia back in the 80’s the stories he told me about that time of his life were astounding he should write a book

will you please do a video on Heart of the the Sea, the whaling movie about the essex and moby dick?

The B-26's were attacking with torpedoes which had to be released about 100 ft above the sea. The bombers also had to reduce to minimum speed because the early torpedoes were limited in altitude and release speed. They were mostly shot up by Zero fighters and two of the four were shot down,

McDonalds Corporation need to pay the original brothers heirs back pay and the 1% annually

I thought Michael Keaton played the role perfectly. I wish in real life and in the movie when he divorced his wife of 40 years, he left her with something more. I also wish he honored his agreement for 1% until the end of time.

All men are fools, and all men are knights, where women are concerned

2:22 Was that a Wilhelm Scream?!

Something that really bothers me is the bloodless combat of gettysburg and its controversial prequel, "gods and generals." It's distespectful to the descendants of those who fought and died at gettysburg and the entire civil war. It mutes the horror and brutality of war, hurting the overall experience.

A significant part of this movie centers around the story of Sir Edward Hamilton (Captain of the HMS Surprise from 1796 to 1801), and the hunt for the HMS Hermione a fifth-rate frigate that fell under Spanish control after a mutiny In 1797. The HMS Surprise got word that the Hermione was anchored in Puerto Cabello Venezuela in 1799 under the name Santa Cecilia. After a short grapeshot filled pitstop on Aruba they attacked Puerto Cabello leaving 119 Spanish dead, 97 Spanish wounded while securing 231 Spanish POW's and recovering the HMS Hermione in the process.

"Kenny didn't get involved" - likely story, movie man; likely story.

Wait, re-introduced horses?I guess that’s considering there were equines in that geographical area pre-ice age yeah?

There are several things I don't like about this video, but I'd like to point out that even incredibly respected historians, such as Jacques Le Goff (who heavily contributed to dispel our biased negative view of the Middle Ages) say that all the cultural exchanges and progress of that period happened despite the Crusades, not because of them. The Crusade permanently damaged relationships not only between Latin Christians and Muslims, but also between Western Europe and the Eastern Roman Empire.

I disagree with a lot of your take on mixing in the home front with the battle. It showed the cost to both! I was there in 1970-71 and know the cost to us over there and family!

Was it their intention to have an ugly actor play Christopher Colo?

Makeup was not caked on. That's a myth. Lead makeup absorbed into the skin and created a very faint translucent glow.

On Balien being a bastard and becoming king. William the conqueror was a bastard. And he wasn’t the only one to rise high. The stigma was greater in later centuries.

AECHARON THE FRENCH SHIP WAS REALLY THE US CONSTITUTION...SO HISTORICALLY ACCURATE...LOL

When you said her public display of grief was just an act, how do we know today, did she leave a journal or was it gossip etc?
