Historical Inaccuracies In Films...Why???

[Zorak]

It was very inaccurate and pretty crap, I thought but then there are loads of films about her and most of them are. I wish they could actually make a film about Elizabeth I that wasn't so obsessed with her sex life.

It's empowering :surrender:surrender

I corrected a Horrible Histories tv show yesterday

It said that after Oliver Cromwell died, Charles II became king, which is wrong! Oliver Cromwell's son, Richard, took over as Lord Protector but was ineffective and resigned thus leading to be reinstatement of the monarchy.

Everyone forgets about tumbledown Dick, he actually sneaked quietly back in England, just down the road from me and died in the 1700s

remember the spielberg movie 'amistad'?......the one the made the british look good and the americans look bad......which actually flopped in america........bloody good film too

Replaced by the movie Patriot where the English were all terrible, especially their evil leaders burning people alive and such, while the Americans were just honest good plain folk fighting for their liberty! And Mel Gibson played the super-hero Patriot!! Death to tyrants! I imagine that did not go over too well across the Atlantic.

To be fair, I don't know a lot about him but I remember studying Cromwell at school and events that led to the reinstatement of the monarchy.
