History told through movies

I use movies as a reference point when thinking about the past. Historical Movies are the best history teacher in the world, as long as your not naive enough to believe everything.
It’s easy to pick out the parts that have a historical significance. Films that are believed to be entirely fiction can still make an accurate or truthful portrayal of the past.
If the movie gives a good approximation of what the life and culture was probably like back then; then it is good for study. I now have an excellent grasp of historical time periods and such, and I swear it’s because of movies more than any other influence. If there are any movies here that haven’t seen yet please puchase it and watch it. Send me a message and I’ll give you a review of it. Support the website, buy something, or click on some ads.
