11 Movies Saved by Historical Inaccuracy

Also, part of the point of 2001, at least in Clarke's concept (the movie didn't delve into it as much), was that this might be achievable if the human race stopped, y'know, doing all the shit that makes Cracked writers want to leave to desert islands with kittens. Yeah, maybe he'd still be wrong, but kind of hard to tell.

You are conflating the works "Shakespeare" and the man William Shakespeare. We know the guy existed, was an actor, etc. The controversy comes in trying to imagine how someone who we have no evidence completed much formal schooling, let alone travelled abroad, could write so voluminously and brilliantly about everything from ancient Greece to contemporary Italy, all the while sort of inventing a good portion of the English language and virtually all of subsequent English literature. Bacon is actually not one of the bigger candidates anymore for actual authorship of the plays. Marlowe is probably the leading guy as an alternative to Will. Some even think that the two collaborated, Kit writing the higher-end stuff and Will writing the comedy, the Falstaffs and Bottoms. Also: The 300 had a lot more wrong with it. The battle of Thermopylae was far more collaborative than the movie made it seem. Sparta's supposedly pure military strength didn't serve them too well in their subsequent wars with Athens, which they lost. Actually, the comic book is better on this score than the movie: They mention, for example, how Athens routed the Persian navy (sort of the actual, y'know, IMPORTANT battle - Thermpoylae and Plataea actually being far more symbolic).

i remember seeing some movie where the bit about louis' schlong was included, as well as the operation fixing it. and you guys are right. it scarred me for life.ewwww

what about csa the confederate states of america

I was just gonna say, IMDb had this as a featured article today - http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/10mosthistoricallyinaccurate.html

Hey, Yahoo just ripped you guys off. http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/10mosthistoricallyinaccurate.html

Don't be so sure about "Apocalypto". The Mayans did not just practice human sacrifice on "occasion." See http://www.livescience.com/history/human_sacrifice_050123.html

An example of historical inaccuracy. 2001 A Space Odyssey was written in 1968 so Star Trek was around on TV, but still the book isn't a historical story of the past

2001 wasn't about history like the other movies depicted. It was a science fiction novel as at the time it was written there was no Star Trek or Star Wars, so this movie shouldn't even be on the list to begin with

I love how Yahoo almost entirely ripped this article off: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/10mosthistoricallyinaccurate.html

OK, as to Shakespeare and Marie Ant's hubby the King of France, there is historical evidence that both were thought to be gay. Speaking of which, it was popular in greek and roman culture for only men to have other relations with men, but nothing beyond such as marriage. In defence of Amadeus, the movie is based on a novel, the man in truth was obnoxious (as evidented in letters they found), and there really was a rumor that a rival had poisoned him. Truth is, he was a very ill man and adding booze on top of that probably killed him. How he died is truely unknown. So, why not make it into a story surrounding true history? I know there are still decendents of Mozart today just the same as Mona Lisa. I do however agree with this: ANY film directed, produced, written by, and starring MEL GIBSON is INNACURRATE TO A FAULT. Sorry, he's just aweful in his work and research.

My Amateur pictures and movies!! exlusive playgirls. .Dirty British wives and girlfriends that love to show it all off in public places.

Another movie with possibly some of the biggest historical inaccuracies ever: Farinelli. They took way, way too much artistic license with it, considering the truth of Farinelli's life was interesting enough.

Google "Young Einstein" That was THE most inaccurate movie ever... as you probably won't watch it mainly because it sucks i'll tell you the ending. He diverts the energy away from a nuclear reactor exploding by playing an electric guitar... oh and the nuclear reactor is there to make beer fizzy. FTW?

Yeah. Commodus was held in high esteem. BESIDES HE WAS CRAZY LIKE FUCK AND ALL ROMANS HATED HIM LIKE PESTILENCE. Seriously, geez, where are your history books? If you want to be corrective, BE corrective. Yes he was emperor. Yes he ruled quite long. AND he was crazy like fuck. Crazy in the manner that he let catch old, sick beggars and have snakes bound to their feet, so they looked like gigants and he could slay them in a hercules outfit. Or who shot wildly around in the arena and killed innocent auditors while dramatizing the stymphalian birds hunt. Oh and by the way, he was known for his love for alcohol, hot temper, killed several people of his stuff when he wanted to and never left a good fight. He was a damn violent bad-ass- AND lunatic.

actualy the aztecs did sacrifice alot. they actualy whent to war just to gather prisoners for sacrifices. They almost never used weapons that killed the oponent, instead using weapons to stuned or incapacitated their foes. When they didnt have anyone else to conquer they started to demand people for sacrifice from the tribes/villages/cities they had conquered. And i think it even said some where that they sacrificed 10.000 people in one day. These sacrifices wherent made because they where savage but because they belived that they had to feed the sun with blood for it to rise every day. In the end this was thir downfall because the tribes wich paid them tribute allied with the spanish and this lead to the fall of the aztec empire.

I liked Alexander...but there wasn't enough manlove in it.
