Based on rigorous film-analysis and historical comparisons, this
book explorers the narrative filmmakers create by summarising
complex historical issues, but which can lead to misconceptions
about the past. Analysis of films such as Alexander Nevsky, Kryzact
(1960)-also known as Knights of the Teutonic Order, The Black
Knight, El Cid, The Great Warrior Skanderberg, Braveheart, The
Seventh Seal, Spartacus, Gladiator, Brother Sun, Sister Moon,
Saladin, Kingdom of Heaven and 300 offers students a broad range of
examples to consider alongside the history of antiquity and
medieval Europe. This book explores how the past is portrayed in
the present and offers students and general readers a framework to
unpick 'historical' films to see how the facts are woven into
fiction.
