This film is intended to be a biography, which contributes somewhat to its rather slow pace, but it's still a compelling story. It begins with Confucius in his later years, during a time of exile, and flashes back to his time as a young man, a teacher, a husband, and a philosopher in the 5th century BCE. The movie retained some criticism for romant...
Agora doesn't just recreate the ancient city of Alexandria, including specific places like temples and government buildings, but also the social norms and politicsof the time. The story revolves around Hypatia of Alexandria and her students, one of whom is a slave who hopes Christianity will lead him to freedom, the other who is an opponent of the ...
It's funny because it's true. Not all of this movie is about ancient history, but the segment that takes place in classical Rome is the most memorable and uses historical facts as part of the joke. That guy selling indoor piping, certain protocols surrounding returning generals, and the slaves and vestal virgins are all based on fact. Even the glad...
It's unclear why Hollywood had a sudden interest in the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Ninth Spanish Legion in 177 C.E., but we got a few movies about it anyway and this is one of the best.Records still exist of an entire Roman legion marching north to teach the troublesome Picts a lesson, never to be heard from again. The major rever...
Whether or not the Trojan War actually happened doesn't really dent the historical accuracy of this film, which is primarily a depiction of the aftermath of war in the ancient world. The surviving women of the Trojan royal family are not only doomed to serve as the spoils but also have to watch their children be killed to end their family lines, a ...
Although the story told in Hero is little more than a legend, the setting is authentic. During this era, from about 200 C.E., China was divided into several different states, with one ambitious Emporer and his minister doing their best to conquer and unite all of them. Not everyone agreed with this plan, and this movie is about an elaborate assassi...
Back when the Biblical sword and sandal epic was popular, writers were looking for any angle they could find to make their own movies from snippets of scripture. Similar films like The Robe are great examples but they don't deviate much from the original source material like this movie does. For those who don't know who Barrabas is, this movie will...
Most of the criticism aimed at this film focuses on the casting and script, but the depictionsof certain events, places, and people are on point for the time. This includes Alexander's doting mother Olympias, his mentor Old Ptolomy, and his father King Philip. The movie recreates certain specific, important events that include many of Alexander's f...
If comedy can tell the truth about the ancient world, why not animation? The comic books on which this film is based rely on the same premise, one holdout village in Brittany that always keeps its independence despite being surrounded by overwhelming Roman odds. It's based on a real historic possibility, and the hijinks that ensue between the two s...
Here's another place where comedy tells the truth better than drama or even a documentary. It starts with a joke of everyman Brian being mistaken for Jesus, ever since the day he was born. The plot then tricks the viewer by putting Christ in the opening scene, as if this is yet another spiritual movie, but then veers back to Brian again. The rest o...
