If you are into Korean Drama, «Mr. Sunshine» is a good place to start. The story itself is somehow fictional, but it feature the period when Korea is influenced by Western culture as well Japanese. A very deep thought about how a country keeping her traditional at the same time moving forward to the modern era. You will probably see people in the street wearing Korean, Western clothing as well "Kimono" (That's how they said about Japanese attire), learning to drink coffee "soup" to show that one's modernized, as well how a country falling victim into colonialism, Japan in this case--Japan is part of the blame, by the way. The 24-episode series is available in Netflix (in fact, it is the first TV series backed by Netflix fund, thus the most expansive TV drama in South Korea at the time). It's a bit long, so take your time.

This reminds me of a DnD post where someone pointed out that the British Victorian era, American Old West, Japanese Meji Restoration, and French privateering all happened relatively close together. In other words, you could have a group composed of a British scoundrel, an American cowboy, a disgraced Japanese samurai, and an old French pirate and it would all be 100% historically accurate.

The Brit need not be a scoundrel, the trope of adventurer fits. You'll see that in Doyle's Sherlock Holmes as well as a couple of people from the American West. The American Western period actually goes into WWI - the first Western movies were actually made with extras and consultants from the era. Towards the end of the era some cowboys actually had semi-auto handguns. The Wild Bunch shows this and is accurate. The Maxim machine gun, which is still seeing action in the Ukraine War, was invented in 1884. The Samurai need not be disgraced, since on the smaller islands closer to China many were pirates. Japanese samurai were also known to be mercenaries on ths continent. Also the Napoleonic Wars - and therefore the French privateers were at the first half of the 1800s, so all this fits better early on.

I suspect the difference in visual style for medieval films between East & West is due to their popular cultural perceptions of the era - the west considers the middle ages to be their dark ages, while for the east, the middle ages are often considered the peak of their civilizations. So their movies would naturally trend towards more grimy or gilded based on popular perception, or the directors' own perception the era. edit: Before you go "UM ACKTUALLY the dark ages and peaks aren't real" - Yes. I agree. I'm saying that a lot of people have popular misconceptions of that era and hence it reflects in film.

The reason that the Middle Ages have garnered such an unfair, bad rep in the popular imagination is mainly due to the Enlightenments over emphasis on and idolisation of the classical age and it's dislike of organised religion. It's why there are so many myths about the Middle Ages, such as the idea that the monarchs back then had total tyrannical power and the Catholic Church was the unquestioned, unchallenged authority of Europe.

There are mutliple causes here: chiefly technology and trends of the time. Most of the western movie he mentioned here were released before the 2010s. When he showed eastern historical movie made during that time period, the set design and color pallete are mostly similar as well. Kurosawa's only color movie was about anything but a gilded, romanticised time period but it was very vibrant nonetheless. Which imo largely influence how historical epic would be directed by eastern industry since then.

This is an anime/American video game comparison, but "Golden Kamuy" and "Red Dead Redemption" take place at the beginning of the 20th century, within just a few years of each other. Both deal with men approaching middle age who've lived violent lives that they want to forget, but both find themselves drawn into hyperviolent adventures taking place in last pockets of their nation's frontier territory as civilization closes in around them. The shadow of the soon-to-come First World War can also be seen lurking in the narrative "background" of both stories as critique of how peaceful "civilization" actually is- the wild frontier might be ruthlessly violent and chaotic on an individual level, but only civilized societies can send millions to their deaths in mud and barbed wire. Also, "Golden Kamuy" is totally a Spaghetti Western (Soba Western?) and I will not be convinced otherwise.

Kinda blatant, but Watanabe made a remake of Eastwood's "Unforgiven" set in Hokaido at just about exactly the same time. There aren't too many movies about it, but the depiction of the 30 years war in Europe and the Japanese Sengoku Jidai overlap in style (even though they are separated by about 20-30 years), both were noted for being the first wars dominated by firearms, and for wrecking the country. Too, the Battle of Bosworth (the end of the War of the Roses) bears a LOT of similarities to Sekigahara (the climatic battle of Sengoku Jidai). Both turned on a major player changing sides mid-battle (Kobayakawa and Stanley). Separated by about a century. The 1920s kinda overlapped in China and the USA (wild times with lots of gangsters). Which reminds me of a question that came up in a discussion. The Western group asked what the Chinese translation/equivalent of being "Shanghaied" (Drugged and/or slugged and put on a ship going a LONG way). The answer was apparently, more or less "Shanghaied" (sailors were grabbed going BOTH directions, but the Chinese equivalent included getting those grabbed for railroad work gangs). One last thing would be overlapping characters. "Gordon" (of Khartoum), was a fairly big player in the Taiping Rebellion 20 years before. The American Equivalent is seeing Lord Cornwallis putting down rebellions in Ireland and especially India after losing the battle of Yorktown.

Studying East Asian Languages and Cultures, I am very often fascinated by how much we tend to not notice just *when* ancient events occurred, especially when we they don't concern Europe. By the time the Roman Empire was founded, China had already existed for over two thousand years, and was well into the Han dynasty. Japan's Shogunate ended in the middle of the XIX Century, meaning that what we call "feudal Japan" existed until the early Victorian Era. Korean unification occurred in the VII Century, which means that the (Western) Roman Empire never coexisted with a unified Korea. These are just three examples, but it's still fascinating

There's a thing called "Eurocentrism" and it really affects negatively how History is being told. World History that most people study is often centered in European History, with Asian History being decisively brushed off as if it was not a more important part of the story. World Historians tend to simplify Asian History, while broadening, elaborating European history. So the result is you get these nuanced European historical figures and events, then there's Asian history deduced in "hard-to-pronounce" names, and half-baked retelling of Asian historical events. It's racist, to be honest.

Imo he was a better emperor than Aurelian as he laid the groundwork for his success in reuniting the empire and pulling Rome through the worst decade of the 3rd century crisis (the 260's) Poor old Gallienus had to deal with his father being captured, his son being murdered, a plague, Gothic pirates, and a near endless amount of usurpers that sprung up. The situation was nothing short of apocalyptic and imo the worst time to be an emperor in Roman history. The fact that he not only lasted the longest out of any other barracks emperor (15 years) but also set up the Comitatenses, Odenathus as protector of the east, tolerated the Christians, and sparked an artistic renaissance is nothing short of remarkable.

I made a list a while back that's similar to what's talked about in this video but it specifically focuses on movies set around the Pacific War, focusing on Japan's rise and fall! It's a whacky list but it all ties together. You can even view it as interconnected even though the movies don't actually have any official relation with each other but due to them all being history based, you could. Here's the list: 1. Rurouni Kenshin Part I: Origins - 1868 2. Assassination - 1933 3. Ip Man - 1935 4. Pearl Habour - 1941 5. Oppenheimer - 1938-1945 6. Godzilla Minus One 7. Ip Man 4: The Finale - 1964 8. The Karate Kid - 1984 What does Rurouni Kenshin have to do with any of them? It is the very beginning of when Japan started to heavily industrialise and give absolute power to the Emperor which created the Empire of Japan. It goes over the rapid shift Japan underwent. Assassination takes place in Korea, when Japan was occupying it, Ip Man is a similar case but for China. Pearl Habour is pretty self explanatory but it is when America finally got involved in WW2. Oppenheimer is when the nuclear bomb is finally created and ends Japan's reign over the pacific. The aftermath and devesation the bomb caused created gives Japan a new perspective and leads to them created Godzilla as a metaphor to express their feelings, Godzilla attacks Japan (This isn't real of course but it's a period piece!). Ip Man 4, goes to America and experiences racism and finds that Japanese Karate has been incorporated into American culture, it links back to Ip Man. The Karate Kid also shows how Karate has become deeply rooted in American culture and even has a WW2 Vet, Miyagi who experiences racism despite fighting for America.

It's perhaps a minor example, but I really enjoyed watching The General (1926) and The Great Locomotive Chase (1951) back-to-back, as they show the same US Civil War battle from opposite perspectives.

Watch 12th fail movie, very popular from last year, our pure Indian story, our people story. And the masterpiece Apu Trilogy by the Master Satyajit Ray , and other best parallel cinema. And movies of the first method actor in the history of world cinema: Dilip Kumar (yes its not brando, its just that the world dont know it). Also watch Raj Kapoor movies espeically my fav Mera Naam Joker.

I love that Heneral Luna was mentioned…. honestly probably the best gateway film to historical Philippine cinema. Other acclaimed movies set around that century is Gomburza (2023) set in late 1860s/early 1870s and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018) set in late 1890s.

MASTERFUL👌. I can't imagine how much work and research went into this. Should be used in high school History classes. Now that you've gifted us a summary, what about a video per time period. It's so good to show against the main (Western) reference point what else was happening in the world.

The movie warlord is set in the same period as the movie Gettysburg. It shares a similarity in the destruction it caused, recruitment system, and the ideological clash.

Awesome topic that could be an entire series on its own, with each episode covering a specific era or century. I was always fascinated by the fact that the Qin Empire happened pretty much around the same time than Rome was at its peak, and often wondered what would have happened in a world where the 2 were in direct communication with each other (there are historical evidences that point out the fact that they were both at least aware of each other's grandeur, at each continent's ends) and how all the other kingdoms inbetween would have reacted to their correspondance.

There are many inaccuracies with Historical Indian Movies as no cares about the historical stuff to do reserch when making the films. The major inaccuracies in the movies mentioned in this video are - 1. Ashok - You can watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqPXoaV3lpiHapY . The major inaccuracies are Firstly about him becoming Buddhist, In reality he became Buddhist almost 6 Years before the Invasion of Kalinga, whereas in the movies it is shown that he became Buddhist after seeing the bloodshed in the war. Secondly him being a good person, In reality he was cruel conqueror who killed all his sibilings to ascend including killing the crown prince Susim. Thirdly the depiction of Buddha in the movie is inaccurate. Also his grandfather Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of the Mauryan Empire & was a Contemporary of Alexander. 2. Padmaavat - Padmaavat is the name of ballard that the movie is based on so it's written with the Queen Padmaavati/Padmini as the central character when in reality it is Indians defending their culture & religion against invading Turks. This is the problem with most historical Indian Movies is that they take way too much liberty with rewriting history to fit their story instead of the other way round & movies will have no resemblence to the actual historical event or story. That said, the sets of Padmaavat are very grand & it is indeed a visually striking film despite it's inaccuracies. Other Historical Movies that you can watch are Bajirao Mastaani ( Same director as Padmaavat), Tanhaaji, Sardaar Udham, Kesari, Mughal-E-Azam

Inaccuracies reflect the culture's perception of those time periods and it's interesting to analyze the reasons behind them.

Actually Westerns taken from Kurosawa is just going full circle. His father took him to see the first films shown in Japan, which were mostly Westerns. This influenced Akira Kurosawa to the point where he is considered the most Western director of the era in Japan. Yojimbo and the Seven Samurai were then ripped off to be arguably two of the greatest Westerns.

A bit of context why the story of troy has become a legend: The period of greek history that we call ancient greece or classical greece, is the second civilisation that has existed in greece. In the bronze age, the area of greece was dominated by the mycenean greek kingdoms. Then at the end of the bronze age, the eastern mediterranean experienced a total social collapse, with only egypt barely surviving. (It's called the late bronze age collapse, for those who want to know more.) In greece, this caused a period where they apparently didn't write anything down, that we now call the greek dark ages. As the classical greek period began in the iron age, the events from the bronze age had become part of the oral storytelling tradition. One story from tradition is the illiad, attributed to homer, which already in ancient greece had become a legend rather than remembered history.
