I would love your commentary on clepatra/ romean history in movies. Notably Diva Elizabeth Taylor's version. I know the nightmare dialogue preassasination is straight out of Shakespeare from high school but curious on the rest. 4 hour movie.

But where's Cotton Hill during all this?

I hear you, but I still need someone to explain like I'm 5: why is the mutiny of the Bounty famous? Mutiny can't be too rare, given we have a name for it, and this one just seems kinda... boring. They went to get some fruit and the captain was mean. Is that really interesting enough to be the only mutiny many people know by name? Am I missing something? Was it just popular at the time and thus well documented? made famous by a particular work of fiction? (this film notwithstanding) I just don't get it

The stick forts inhabited by the English in this film were ridiculous. One of the forts Wallace took was Dunottar in Stonehaven, south of Aberdeen, and it's definitely not made out of sticks. Maybe the writer had it confused with 'The Three Little Pigs'?

Omg I thought he was going to say they casted real Somalian pirates

You should do Zero dark 30 or lone survivor

3:06 ike European sanctions against Russia in 2022

PLEASE DO War and Peace 1967 - Same director !

They should have put in the movie what Sledge really said to the girl at the college. It was better and made more sense of who he was.

Classic film in film history and the book was class

yea i don’t like diversity it ruins everything. people prioritize it over quilaty like our character is black when in history he was white

It it just me or henry hill sounds More Like al pacino Then al pacino

Could it look grey and dismal because it's winter?

Were you there? No, then SHUT UP!! I'm joking of course however I still love this movie 🤣

Here's an idea. Disney Pocahontas

I wish creator's would be able to post pictures of things that really happened no matter how disturbing they look. It's a picture, it is not like you're there living it.

No one has ever been able to explain this scene to me? Why he was swearing an oath on Swans??? Are Swans sacred? Is there some ancient law by which Swans are the highest arbiter of justice? Why? Why? Someone make it make sense?!!?!?

You should do a video like this on the sequel

Gosh this video has given me a good way to laugh at how someone who used to work at the Walmart I do tried to say that 300 was historically accurate and that all this was covered up

After being saved from sacrifice by the total solar eclipse, doesn't the protagonist escape by the light of the full moon?

I just finished watching Casino and immediately came here again to see the truth. I will say, out of the 3 scorsese films ive seen: Casino, Goodfellas, The Irishman I like Casino the least. Not to say this isnt an amazing movie, because it is. But Casino lost my interest and attention around the last 45 minutes. I felt that it was just dragging out on the Ace marriage problems which felt like the same thing each time. Goodfellas kept my interest the whole time and for the most part so did The Irishman, but Casino lost me a bit.

Put some respect on the name of this masterpiece of a film. It tells a magnificent story no matter its historical inaccuracy; a story so captivating, enthralling, as well as thrilling. It is a story containing tragedy as well as a comedy, defeat as well as victory. Its narrative conveys inspiring themes of bravery (of course), courage, passion, love, purpose, resilience, all among many motivational themes that provide meaning for the audience. If you still want to disrespect the legacy of this film you can leave it in the replies, trust me I will debate you (and win).

Hope History Buffs do “Gladiator II”.

I bought Tom Holland’s book~ in hardcover, at an actual bookstore~ Pax today. I’m only about 20 pages in, but so far really good. Now I gotta get Dynasty, which covers the Julio Claudian Emperors, starting, of course, with Julius, peaking with Augustus, and following the descent down to Nero. Why the madness in that line? I suspect inbreeding & lead vessels & tainted water are prominent factors.

I didn't find this one to be more accurate than Braveheart. Its inaccuracies were, I guess somewhat less on its sleeve than that one's were.

@HistoryBuffs have you done or are you interested in doing one for Shaka Zulu ?

Sussy Jack

I still rewatch this series once or twice a year. And I always get so damn sad at the end because none of the heroes that was interviewed for it and whos words we hear in the start of all the episodes and in the prologue for the last episode are alive now.. But then it have also been over 20 years since the show aired and they were already old back then so yeah..... Still sad though as those voices have been lost but at lest we still have this show to tell they stories.

Question from the US, is it generally well known by Europeans that the bastard son cannot inherit his father's land and title? Until Game of Thrones came I dont think most Americans knew that. To us its just normal that a son regardless of marital status could inherit their father's estate.

No way illegal fishing caused this. Fisherman didn't just become pirates. Illegal fishing could never remove all the fish out of the waters as you say, which is what they have said. Good attempt to making them seem justified. There was no justification for any of it. Maybe Somalia needs to get their country in order. But their warlords chose different.

"what's so funny about me?" "your music career" so hilarious

Imagine in an alternate timeline had this plan worked.

I watched through the whole series twice my main gripes I have is it’s non linear pacing at the beginning and how the characters are introduced. Episode 1 should have been wholly in England with the social dynamics of the officers preparation of the voyage and we get to see the glaring issues with the voyage the poorly sealed led cans etc the crewmen being signed up so we are properly introduced to them the episode ending with the Erebus and terror setting sail. Second major gripe there was no need for a super natural element the unnatural looking polar bear that’s supposed to be a hostile native spirit (poorly explained) that climbs on the ship and picks slaves off one by one predator style took me out of it. It would have been better to emphasis the madness of the crew and hallucinations the mental effects of the led poisoning the bear could have been a regular polar bear (that shows up later in the series not immediately after episode 3) that is given some otherworldly qualities by the men’s declining mental state it would have been brilliant mind game the show writers could have played were being the characters and crew are forced to grapple what is real and what is a hallucination.

I never thought the Patriot as a history movie. It never claimed to be. We all knew it was loosely based on history and about a fictional story of people going to war for the revolution. It never claimed to be based on a true story once in it.

I didn't even recognize Fasbender

I think Slaughter House 5 would be a great one for you to review.

5:40 Looking dapper AF king. Genuinely jealous of your heritage.

Such a sad war, there were no glorius moments.

I think it’s entirely accurate to compare the two artists…. They both moved people deeply with their music and yes they had similar upbringings

Great example of good filmmaking but terrible history. Same thing for Braveheart honestly. Good art, bad history.

What about the casinos they're not that bad off

Wait a minute, wait a minute.... Did you seriously omit the surgery that King Louis the 16th had to have to release the pressure in his testicles so that he could finally perform the 'act' and conceive lol ?

Yes! Finally! Stoked!

Oscar Goodman was a Vegas mayor for several years. When he was younger he was Spilotro's attorney & he plays himself as cameo in the movie

Kind of like how Sean Parker is the founder of Napster, but Shawn Fanning actually invented it. Founding is more about growing the business, not inventing it weirdly

I would love to see you do a review about the movie Mary Queen of Scotts with Margot Robbie. I know they at least got Mary Queen of Scotts height correct.

Cleopatra was in Rome on the week of ceasars assassination

hemos avanzado casi 50 años desde eso y aún hay amenazas nucleares. Puta madre.
