Give GoT style type of show for the 3rd century crisis, i got war and stronk womyns, perfectly suitable for today audiance

If it was historically accurate then critics would be calling absolute bullshit about what happened.
Anyone who hasn't should read The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz, totally fucking insane.
The only event to match it is Xenophon's march to the sea. Xenophon's book isn't as good though, half of it is just how Xenophon is awesome and all the other generals are poo poo heads.

Let's see, here are the events that are ensured to take in a billion box office.

>The Grand Condé by the end of the Thirty years' war
>goes from being one France's best generals to one of her strongest opponents when he goes to side with the spanish
>interlaced with the story of the Fronde in the background

>war of the third coalition told in one movie (if you can't have a whole Napoleonic trilogy)
>stunning capture of Ulm
>deception at the bridge of Vienna
>preliminaries of the battle of Austerlitz
You can even cut away in the evening leading up to the battle of Austerlitz, with the french forces already confident in their victory and celebrating the anniversary of Napoleon's coronation

>start of Barbarossa with all the confusion and contradictions rampant in the soviet army at first
>Stalin's complete collapse at the news, and all the hilarities that followed when he tried to send men on the ground to assess the situation

>Congress of Vienna, with the shenanigans between Metternich, Tayllerand and the British ambassador

And then of course the classics that will get mentioned down the line in this thread: Aurelian, Sextus Pompey, Xenophon's march to the sea, etc...

I've also always thought that a mini-series on the July crisis of 1914 would work really well.

Yes, everyone was throwing lavish parties, not least of which Tayllerand, to petition support for their country's cause in the peace treaties to be etched out. And everyone going behind everyone's back to secure better clauses for their side. It's not everyone's kind of movie, but the Death of Stalin highlighted that it could be done.

I’ve heard of him. Kicked German ass 10 years before the western empire collapsed. On the verge of deporting or killing all the scum German invaders. Gets assainated by the imperial senate because he was going to pink wojak them.

>Poles defected over to the Haitians during the revolution, because the struggle of the Haitians reminded them of theirs in Europe
>Haitians therefore let them live, since to them the "Poles are the niggers of Europe"
>the descendants of these poles still live in Haiti to this day
Pretty humorous.

>Haiti's first head of state Jean-Jacques Dessalines called Polish people "the White Negroes of Europe", which was then regarded a great honour, as it meant brotherhood between Poles and Haitians. Many years later François Duvalier, the president of Haiti who was known for his black nationalist and Pan-African views, used the same concept of "European white negroes" while referring to Polish people and glorifying their patriotism.[5][6]
How will poles ever recover ?

I really wish someone had the balls to make a Spanish conquest of the Aztec movie. If you had an ensemble cast of Hispanic actors and had the entire movie spoken in spanish and a modern approximation of the aztec language it could be kino as fuck. Hype the movie up in Mexico and Latin America, to be the penultimate Hispanic movie of all time.

You can handle the critics and political correctness by citing the book stating that the movie is based off of the first hand account of a guy who was actually there.

Russian civil war. I've always found the nature of it really interesting, and the way it developed and stretched across the whole nation, with stuff like sections of railroad being their own little sovereignties, the way it stretched into the boonies in mongolia, and the whites in the far east out in vladivostok/the far eastern republic, and the death of the romanovs

i mean it depends on the country, sure the usual suspects are pleb tier but stuff in some of the others is completely glossed over usually

Why are romans always depicted to look white when they were likely brown.

Draw viewers in with increasing tensions and internal rifts between civs trapped inside the walls with dwindling food.

>ultimately insignificant battle in an insignificant war the only remnant of which we have is the national anthem
user that's not a good movie idea

Battle of Waterloo

3 legions went into tbe forest in Germany and never came back. It was a massive military disaster that essentially halted Roman expansion into "Germania" and was such a big deal that Augustus basically got PTSD just from the news, for years after the fact he'd randomly shout "Varus, give me back my legions!".

>I ain't no Senator's son

the trekkers had a really good fortified position, used buckshot for maximum casualties, and this was after the zulus switched to short stabbing swords instead of the throwing spears. So if they got within any distance they got mowed down, then in the space where the next wave would come up, trekkers could rest and reload. I imagine the bodies piling up also made it even more difficult to quickly get to the walls of the camp and actually do any damage

Madre Mía

Follow Chuikov and the 62nd army from throughout the second world war.

For those who don't know, this is the army that stopped the Germans in Stalingrad and then fought for another 2 and a half years to be some of the first forces in Berlin. I feel like this thread might die so I won't get too much into it but the eastern front from the soviet perspective is literally the most cinematically epic thing to ever happen in history.

There's already a few kinos about /ourgirl/

looks like someone really doesn't like G*rmans

I mean i wrote "second world warwar" first time. Ain't no psyop here.

I know we already have movies about the Alamo, but I would kill to see a new one with a modern cast. Get Diego Luna or Javier Bardem to play Santa Anna, Chris Evans to play Crockett, Tom Hardy as some crazy bayou-born captain of the Louisiana Grays, maybe Dacre Montgomery (or anyone young like that) as Travis, could be pretty kino IMO

If not that, then definitely the Christianization of Scandinavia, specifically the crackdowns of Olaf I in Norway; you'd get some political thriller shit, Pagan v. Christian battles, etc.

Russian civil war is top tier kino with stuff like the Czechoslovak Legion. Problem is almost no one could pull it off.

The happenings in Polish controlled Ukraine were pretty interesting

Charles Dance looks too Aryan and healthy to play a 90 year old blind Italian nobleman.
He would be better suited to play one of the french crusader leaders.

This.

They actually did make a movie about this.
It's called Day of the Siege.

Not sure how good it was. Can't really trust critics these days especially when it comes to /his/ films.

>end of WW2
>Hungary has been defeated and Soviets now occupy it
>Hungarian troops know if they surrender to Soviets they will be sent to labour camps
>fight across occupied Hungary and Austria to surrender to Americans in Germany

Absolute kino, but it will never be made because of muh evil white men

Fucking cool Poles.

You know it was a humanitarian travesty beyond imagination but what Cortez did is possibly histories best lesson in staying cool when you're completely out of your depth and unqualified for the insane situation you've somehow got yourself into.

20,000 or so Roman soldiers got slaughtered in a prolonged series of ambushes while marching though a very cinematic, darkly imposing forest in Germany.

May well be the single reason Rome never conquered modern Germany.

Figuring out what the fuck capitalism even is and how it started.

One of the most fascinating eras to me are those last few decades leading up to WW1.
The world looked completely different right before WW1. It was truly something else.

>The Ten Thousand
Some Greek mercenaries were hired to fight in a civil war, they won the battle but the guy who hired them died, leaving them stranded in a foreign country with fuck all and needing to get home

Historia Civilis is based. Look up Raoul McLaughlin for more Romekino

here's your pacific theater bro
youtube.com/watch?v=4zOT8URC9PU

One of the mercenary officers in the ten thousand wrote a book about their trek back to Greece that possibly inspired Phillip II (and later Alexander) to invade and conquer Persia.
The book is called Anabasis and it revealed a lot of severe internal weaknesses and tactical disadvantages that the Persians had compared to the Greeks.

Xenophon. An Athenian who was exiled and moved to Sparta.

The biggest catastrophe happened years later during the Cocoliztli epidemic, which killed around 15 million people. Cortez was indeed a megalomaniac, but for other reasons than causing the epidemics.

He is both a horrible and grande person. I really hope such a movie would be made, but honestly I fear it will end up being even more comically than Apocalypto. With Cortez either being potrayed as an outright hero or monster. And the aztecs wearing goofy ahistorical costume.

yeah no way in hell they would make an historically accurate movie about La Conquista. As always they would paint the spaniards as the bad guys and the aztecs as "noble humble people who dindu nuffin" instead of the fucking bloodthirsty cannibalistic assholes they were.

In all actuality fuck the Aztecs and this is coming from a Mexican

movie about boudica?
>rome conquers Britain
>some roman soldiers , rape the daughters of some queen or something (boudica)
>she forms an alliance with other villages and revolts against rome
>attacks roman cities filled with romans and britains alike, kills everyone pretty brutally
>defeats a roman army
>chases another roman army around britain
>eventually they turn and fight her despite terrible numbers
>wreck her shit

Im sure I butchered the story but I like movies where people debate who was right/wrong

If it were historically accurate, Boudica would be portrayed as a madwoman who only murdered civilians, and when faced against a proper roman army in an open battlefield gets completely BTFO (even though she had much more troops) and gets trapped between her own wagons with civilians to watch how she would "defeat" the romans, and get completely massacred:
youtu.be/npwM2touF08?t=508
The most famous female "general" being BTFO like this in a movie would make feminist screech.

The battle of Hürtgen Forest is extremely underrepresented on the silver screen even though it was the bloodiest land battle ever fought by the US military - Likely because it was a total defeat for them and goes against the victor's narrative of ww2

she certainly became a madwoman which is why I think it would be interesting. It starts off with her being a victim trying to get vengeance against the "evil romans" but they end up being the good guys. kinda like that dragon lady from game of thrones I guess.

Siege of Salmeniko Castle, the last Byzantine stronghold
>1461 - Byzantine general Graitzas Palaiologos honourably surrenders Salmeniko Castle, the last garrison of the Despotate of the Morea, to invading forces of the Ottoman Empire, after a year-long siege.
>Whereas the former fled to Modon, Corfu, and finally Rome and the latter surrendered outright to the Sultan, Graitzas maintained his position, holding his redoubt until July 1461, long after the surrender of his lords.
> Mehmed the Conqueror personally oversaw the attack.
>. The elite Janissaries managed to subdue the town by cutting off its water supply. Its remaining residents (approximately 6000) were sold into slavery, with 900 children chosen for the Devşirme.
>Graitzas and his garrison continued to hold out in the castle citadel.
>Gratizas agreed to surrender the castle to Mehmed in return for safe conduct and immunity for his troops. Following Mehmed's departure however, two successive subordinates disregarded the promise, arresting the first soldiers to leave the citadel and then renewing the siege.
> In July 1461, with Salmeniko now isolated and surrounded and, as the last garrison of the Roman Empire, no hope of relief, Graitzas, leading a sortie of the remaining garrison, escaped the besiegers and sought refuge in the Venetian fortress of Lepanto
>With the Roman Empire he served now defunct, Graitzas accepted a commission as general in the armed forces of the Republic of Venice.

Peru is the most indigenous place in the Americas. The rest got conqusita'd pretty hard. I'm sure there are plenty that identify with the Spanish over the natives.

I would make one about a Civil War event that was mentioned in the Ken Burns documentary.

>Union decides to dig a long tunnel from their base to the fortifications in order to detonate explosives
>they do this and set up the explosives and blow it up
>holy shit, it fucking worked
>Union officers don't want to wake up drunk commander, so they order the charge themselves
>Union soldiers run right down into the big hole that the explosion caused
>hole is so deep that they can't get out
>Confederates surround the hole and kill them all

>waaah why do so many people like the most fashionable and professional regimes in history

Whichever one you fucking like, just because Rome and WW2 have more widespread appeal doesn't mean there is something wrong with it.

>Likely because it was a total defeat for them and goes against the victor's narrative of ww2
The common pleb conception is that WWII was won the night of D-day and the rest was maintenance.
Patton (1970) is perhaps the only big movie showing the US having major difficulty against Germany and being victorious because they had an absolute madman in charge that commanded the weather by praying to God.

>As the dancing plague worsened, concerned nobles sought the advice of local physicians, who ruled out astrological and supernatural causes, instead, announcing that the plague was a "natural disease" caused by "hot blood". However, instead of prescribing bleeding, authorities encouraged more dancing, in part by opening two guildhalls and a grain market, and even constructing a wooden stage. The authorities did this because they believed that the dancers would recover only if they danced continuously night and day. To increase the effectiveness of the cure, authorities even paid for musicians to keep the afflicted moving. The strategy was a disaster; after those policies were applied the illness underwent a dramatic growth. Performing dances in more public spaces facilitated the spread of the psychic “contagion”.

Very fascinating subject. I really enjoyed Taboo with Hardy, it is very atmospheric and mysterious and I would expect something similar to come out of this incident. Maybe it was ergot, maybe not. Not answering the question is more entertaining in my opinion.
