Can anybody recommend me some Essential Medieval kino?
based
Black Death (2011)
Kingdom of Heaven Directors Cut
Braveheart
Robin Hood
>Robin Hood
which one?
monty pythons the holy grain
Probably the Russel Crowe version.
It’s what I was going to recommend.
Costner or Crowe, both are decent
OP asked for kino not flicks
The one with the fox people
‘The Advocate/The Hour of the Pig’ 1993.
how about the Errol Flynn version?
Not sure.
Been years since I’ve seen it.
A Knight's Tale is by far the best.
Lady hawk
First knight
Excalibur
Robin hood (costner)
Dragon slayer
Where does Chimes at Midnight/Falstaff rank in Welles filmography?
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Errol Flynn
‘The Messenger: The Story of Josn of Arc’ 1999
Directed by Luc Besson.
Not his best but I enjoyed it.
Its cringh shit.
Cast him
>The Messenger
>its not about the prophet Muhammed
A missed chance desu.
Watch the message if you want early medieval kino.
unironically Idris Elba
>tfw chilling by the hearth when a spark from your chimney ignites the neighbours thatched roof and it combusts into flames burning the village down and killing all the livestock and some of the villagers
what do??
Tom Hardy
>unironically
Outlaw King
best version
Lancelot du Lac
Wayne Rooney
>The physique of a professional rugby player
God save us
The Costner one is fucking trash, are you serious?
The Crowe one is alright
Thatch is naturally fire resistant, and might only become highly flammable after overly long dry weather.
Further, thatched roof builing were usually built far enough apart from each other, that only a massive fire would produce enough sparks for the fire to spread from one building to the next.
The timber used for medieval buildings was also way thicker than what is used in modern construction, and usually way denser, and the timber does not burn easily or quickly.
The wattle and daub, walls are also basically fire proof.
>strong wife
>token brown skinned Knight
>that scene where they let the English prince go free
The sets and atmosphere were decent but the plot and the dialogue was God awful.
Honestly, it could make a TOP 3 Worst dialogues on Netflix easily.
>Godiva, Countess of Mercia, was an English noblewoman who, according to a legend dating at least to the 13th century, rode naked – covered only in her long hair – through the streets of Coventry to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation that her husband imposed on his tenants. The name "Peeping Tom" for a voyeur originates from later versions of this legend in which a man named Thomas watched her ride and was struck blind or dead.
Could it be kino? Who would you cast as Lady Godiva (and Peeping Tom)?
>Go into the tavern
>Ah christ it's training day isn't it
>Place is packed with knights drinking pissy cheap ale
>Really fucking loud
>Try to get to the bar
>One of them is taking a piss right bloody there
>All his mates cheering him on
>"Ave a look at fucking Guiscard"
>"Wot a ledge"
>I just want to order a pheasant and some veg
>Group of pretty ladies leave, it's too much for them
>Good job I'm already married at 17 and get to enjoy my remaining 10 years of life with a family
>One of the knights has passed out
>Another, I recognise him as Mercer of Thamesis from his missing ear, is slipping his thumb up his comatose friends' arse
>They're all calling over their painters to make an etching
>"Haha Can't wait to show this to Sir William Marshall tomoz"
>Give up and walk the 15 miles back to the farm
>Posh cunts trash the tavern and can afford to pay for the damage anyway
>1000 years later they found the Bullingdon Club and carry on
kek

>cuts rope
Exactly what I was thinking.
>an blow
>token brown skinned Knight
Fuck off, you haven’t even seen it
Lindy, the retard that he is, has never read any historical sources documenting the usage of siege engines, or he would know that cutting the rope is mentioned with some regularity
DEUS VULT!!!!!!!!
Outlaw King
having to re-tie rope after every shot is retarded compared to having a lever. i am assuming they aren't just one shot weapons
Pillars of the Earth
World Without End
The Hollow Crown
The Last Kingdom
Watch Krzyżacy (1960).
I am Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred son of Uhtred
looks good, will do
does poland get btfo of germany's knights?
isnt that dark ages, not medevil age?
the medieval ages encompasses the dark ages
800's so yes
dark ages is early medieval
Pilgrimage from 2017
youtube.com
It's not super good or anything, but goddamn you get a proper medieval feeling.
That is literally the only good scene in that entire movie, and it's still retarded as fuck.
The Costner Robin hood is kino. Even the soundtrack was above and beyond. All other Robin hood flicks pale in comparison. Crows version is pretty shit.
You are clearly a cum dumpster and your opinion should not be considered by anyone.
The Pilgrimage. A group of monks try to protect a holy relic on its way to the Pope. It’s absolute kino, and they use French, Irish and English language throughout the film. Richard Armitage plays an aggressive Norman noble.
The siege was over and the trebuchet was just being fired to show off. Plus you can see ropemakers off to the side making another one.
its full of great scenes, basically any scene that doesnt involve kate mara is good. and its one of the best performances giamatti has ever given
Absolute kino
This was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, surely these can’t be serious recommendations
If you've got three hours and an iron will this is worth a watch. It's pretty boring but probably the most realistic look at what life would have looked like in 13 century Russia. It's a sort of science fiction and it's really dense, I haven't been able to get through it
You must be a girl
>one of the best performances giamatti has ever given
EVERYTHING I DO, I DO IT FOR YOU
Nigger
I haven’t seen it but just going from the trailer
>everyone dressed in shit-coloured tunics and raggedy scraps of leather
>the Irish are, apparently, still pagan in the 12th century
>looks like it was filmed on a camcorder from 2003
It looks like every other dime a dozen direct to dvd pseudo-historical movie
based
in british the bl is silent
>an 'ow
>ZOMG SPIDERMAN
>b-but this has actual thought behind it, I can't watch this
>and what's with the haircuts and lack of strong female leads
Andrei Rublev
Is this thread custom tailored to piss off anyone with a basic knowlege of history or not
An awful adaptation of a great book. It isnt a bad movie because of the actors, or the sets or anything. Its a bad movie because it does the opposite of what the book does and goes "DARK AGES EVERYONE IS A RETARD LMAO". So many pointless scenes are shoehorned in to take the piss out of people for no reason and any respect the book had for anyone alive during the middle ages is dashed so retarded New Worlders can have a cheap laugh at people getting spooked at Sean Connery's glasses (in the book they are curious about the invention), and at how the old monk who talks about Mary's statue obviously wants to fuck her.
I thought this would be the worst recommendation of the whole thread but it somehow turned out not to be.

You are exceedingly dense if you think this is an "realistic depiction" of anything.
PEOPLE DONT LIKE THE SMELL OF SHIT
PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE AGES DIDNT THROW SHIT IN THE STREET
PEOPLE HAD LATRINES. YES. EVEN IN RUSSIA.
AND THEY ESPECIALLY DIDNT WALLOW IN MOUNTAINS OF IT LIKE THEY DO IN THIS MOVIE.
do you have a rec?
Top 3 for the battles scenes, can't remember much of the movie beyond it. It's time for a rewatch, I saw that shit in parts uploaded to youtube. Maybe the criterion restoration's a significant increaase in quality. Welles saw it as his favorite work
>pseudo-historical
It's a fictional story set in medieval times.
They speak modern English, French, and Latin, oh my!
The pagan Irish could be explained with the massive changes in Ireland from the late 800 to late 1100, but literally no one cares.
It's a good medieval setting for a mediocre story.
>I haven’t seen it
Then shut the fuck up.
Based on the trailer I wasn't too interested either, but I did see it and it's ok.
>Not a single woman or non-white in the entire movie
Dare I say based?
>the Irish are, apparently, still pagan in the 12th century
They explain it by saying its a clan who after losing their land to the Normans reverted back to Paganism
oh no no no no
Did anyone watch the "Cathedral of the sea" mini-series?
A lot of romantic drama, but otherwise all right.
>direct to dvd tax write off where people in leather biker gear wave rubber swords at each other
>”thought behind it”
A Knight's Tail
It doesn’t look medieval, it looks like what a child would think a medieval setting should look like. Why is everyone wearing brown leather? Outlaw King has been mentioned in this thread and it had great accurate costumes
>thing I can't comprehend is just mad max larping
Holy shit, my original thought detector is going off the charts.
Hard to be a God
I like to put this film on and just have it run on the background while I'm shitposting. I can't give it my undivided attention.
You realize there are historic accounts of people being severed in half this way, during the period when this type of sword was in use?
The book and movie for ‘The Name of the Rose’ a very different.
Comparing the two is like comparing Nathaniel Hawthorne’s book ‘The Scarlet Letter’ to Roland Joffe’s 1995 film,
Or comparing Shakespeare’s play ‘The Tempest’ to Peter Greenaway’s 1991 film ‘Prospero’s Books’.
‘The Name of the Rose’ may take the plot elements from the original novel, and some of the theme, but the rest is way less philosophical.
>historic accounts of people dying
>this justifies an entire gay movie with retarded choreography, shit editing, and awful acting.
>Not a single woman or non-white in the entire movie
>Dare I say based?
The Vikings were transporting and selling slaves from North Africa in the 800s and 900s, and some of the slaves may have been transported around Ireland, or even sold to the Irish chieftains.
I don’t know whether this explains some of the overly dark skinned Irish people, but it might, and it’s a more likely explanation than the Spanish Armada theory.
Whoever wrote the screenplay obviously did some historical research, even if a bunch of the other writing had issues.
I sort of thought they were just trying to make a medieval historical knights and castle film on a limited budget.
There were no Dark Ages
Nice Propaganda /pol/
we are living in the dark age
>There were no Dark Ages
>Nice Propaganda /pol/
en.m.wikipedia.org
>The "Dark Ages" is a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages, that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire.
>The concept of a "Dark Age" originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as "dark" compared to the light of classical antiquity.
>The phrase "Dark Age" itself derives from the Latin saeculum obscurum, originally applied by Caesar Baronius in 1602 to a tumultuous period in the 10th and 11th centuries.[5] The concept thus came to characterize the entire Middle Ages as a time of intellectual darkness between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance; this became especially popular during the 18th-century Age of Enlightenment.
>As the accomplishments of the era came to be better understood in the 18th and 20th centuries, scholars began restricting the "Dark Ages" appellation to the Early Middle Ages (c. 5th–10th century), and now scholars also reject its usage in this period
Dark ages is a term that was invented in During the Rennaisance, by a well regarded scholar and poet, Petrach, who had an interest in the classical period of Rome and Greece.
Petrarch basically blackwashed a huge chunk of history, and vecause of his influence, the blackwashing has continued to this day in the mainstream.
Scholars don’t like to use the term, “Datk Ages” because subsequent scholarship has showm Petrarch was somewhat wrong, probably because he didn’t have access to as wide a range of historical resources as are readily available to scholars today.
Vinland saga.
Cromwell
A Man For All Seasons
I would read it though honestly
Boring and overrated
It's okay fun kino, but not the best and not really Medieval kino
OI! You got a loicence for that joustin'?
>Good job I'm already married at 17 and get to enjoy my remaining 10 years of life with a family
No idea why people still believe this meme that medieval commoners lived like human fruit flys
How's everyone feeling about the upcoming film starring Timothee Chalamet - 'The King'? It's an adaption of Henry V by Shakespeare and also features Robert Pattinson as The Dauphin of France.
Did you know that the Scots surrendered but King Edward fired it anyways because it was the largest trebuchet ever built wanted it to see it in action
Also STANNIS
THAS RITE!
I'll watch it for Pattinsonkino but it saddens me how the only 100 years war media only retread the same Henriad stuff, they never show the French victorious phase of the Lancastrian era. Similar problem with WW1 kino only depicting the Brits despite being a minority of the Western Front.
>Dark ages is a term that was invented in During the Rennaisance, by a well regarded scholar and poet, Petrach, who had an interest in the classical period of Rome and Greece.
And? The Cold War was a term invented by the propagandist George Orwell, doesn't mean it doesn't reasonably describe the state of relations between the USSR and the West.
>Scholars don’t like to use the term, “Datk Ages” because subsequent scholarship has showm Petrarch was somewhat wrong
No, because they're insufferable twats. Instead of the barbarian invasions destroying the complex and integrated economy of the Roman empire and then wearing its skin like some weird German tranny, they want to talk about how 'migrants' transformed and reimagined a stodgy and arthritic empire into a multitude of vibrant cultures which didn't need no literacy nor viaducts nor functioning sewer systems.
Anymore lore stories, user?
Any kino about the Peasant's Revolt?
The Lion In Winter.
imdb.com
Search for Bauernkrieg Docu, Germans love documentaries
thanks
oh wait, never mind. I was refering to the English peasants revolt led by Wat Tyler.
Why is there no kinos about Alfred the Great?
or 1066
Imagine this thing going off right beside you
marketa lazarova
hard to be god
the message
name of rose
you said medieval not europe medieval so also:
ran
kagemusha
ballad of narayama
The Ballad of Narayama looks interesting, definitely adding to my watchlist; already seen the other two japanese films.
I was referring to Medieval Europe, but I will be open to films set in Medieval Asia, I guess.
explain india then
KINO
The Black Irish are just the result of normal phenotype variation. There’s no need for retarded explanations involving the Spanish Armada or continent hopping Vikings.

So you don't have any actual proof you're just desperate to put nonwhites in Europe.
