Really though, what's your preferred way of delivering dialogue from scenes that don't have English? Subtitles? Dubbing from the beginning?

Although it's a bit of a cheesy transition, I like the way they did it in Project Valkyrie, where Tom Cruise issues orders and writes a letter in German that fades into English. Honestly, I just don't see any non-jarring methods.

ITT: filthy realists

A movie set up in medieval times doesn't want to exactly show, how it was back then. It is not about accuracy, but about entertainment and artistic expression (at least theoretically). People are having a picture inside their heads ancient times and when they watch a movie playing in that time, they don't want to be educated but to be entertained and affirmed in their beliefs and honestly there's nothing wrong about that. Mankind did that for thousands of years. What matters is not how it really was back then, but what you want to express: what you want to show and how you want it to be back then.

Eh, I'd say that's a pretty accurate description of what you do if you cut away the whole magical, mystical bullshit. Also, semi-suicidal, since the protagonist (surprise) will always prevail. It's basically a glorified, polished version of the Hashashin of old.

They still washed more than Europeans did in pre-modern times, tho. There was a resurgent bathhouse-culture from the 12th century onwards. Shame doctors thought washing caused the plague and people washed almost never until the 18th-19th century.

>>1311386
Soapmakers in Naples were members of a guild in the late sixth century (then under the control of the Eastern Roman Empire),[16] and in the eighth century, soap-making was well known in Italy and Spain.[17] The Carolingian capitulary De Villis, dating to around 800, representing the royal will of Charlemagne, mentions soap as being one of the products the stewards of royal estates are to tally. The lands of Medieval Spain were a leading soapmaker by 800, and soapmaking began in the Kingdom of England about 1200.[18] Soapmaking is mentioned both as “women’s work” and as the produce of “good workmen” alongside other necessities, such as the produce of carpenters, blacksmiths, and bakers.[19]

So, soap making begins in England around the 12th century, the middle ages began in the 5th-6th century, this means that medieval Brits did not use soap for most of the middle ages, so yeah, they were dirty according to today's standards.

That reminds me, when I was younger I had to read a book about Afghanistan during the Taliban regime for English class. I didn't like it, but when I read it again last year I realised just how retarded it was. There was zero mention of religion or any religious activities amongst other things.

Some people just shouldn't write books

Not him, but actually farming changes, from tools to the type of wheat.

Because it is.

Very little farming, even without modern technology, involves you getting covered in mud. Boots? Yes. Lower trousers? Maybe. All over your face? No.

There are written coroners records of common people washing and bathing and records and remains of bath houses for townsfolk.

There are wills and inventories that shown that most people except litteral beggars had at least one change of clothes.

You knwo that the level of Urbanisation was extremely low for most of the middle ages, right?

Actual farming is a varied business that involves some dirt, grass, ocasionally mud, but mostly sweat.

What you're thinking of is the Monty Python meme, where peasants crawl on the ground and gather dung.

Cutlery is millennia old, but everithing made of metal was too expensive for dirt poor peasants and servants.

Why the comparative rarity of towns and cities affects peoples washing and hygiene habits.

People washed. People who lived in towns had purpose built communal areas to wash.

Yes, as something done a couple times a year (for those who were especially health conscious), not as part of a routine. Even bath houses were more about recreation than cleanliness.
>>

They didn't. Except for the English dogs during the Hundreds War, rape was quite uncommon in medieval Europe.
>>
>>1311902

We have no way of knowing but those same records make no mention of it being a big deal or a special occasion for them to be doing so.

It's easy to me to imagine middle ages rural families having a pair of knives since they require a small amount of metal and have a plethora of uses. It's hard to me imagine middle ages rural families paying an ironsmith to make forks to eat however. Their use is so limited...

Also, I forgot to mention when we do barbecue parties nowadays (at least in my country) the grill guy use a knife to cut/slice the large pieces of meat being grilled and put them in dishes, but then people take and eat them using bare hands. Distributing a hundred of flatware to everyone would be too cumbersome.

I'm just starting to get an interest in religion, so forgive me for my ignorance, but is this "secularist" view of religion as a language to describe the inexpressible, a set of symbols that make up a system that transcends cultures to speak about the divinity of existence, has this always been the mindset at the highest of levels? I'm aware of the fundamentalist and fanatical nature of the populace in a historical context, but has this dichotomy of fundamentalism and a man-made system been at the root of most religions? Or were the first religions fanatical in nature and as new ones sprung about were they more secularly sophisticated in an ever-evolving progress of the malleable concept of religion?

I'm aware that religion is burried within millenia so there's probably not an accurate answer for this, but I'm just looking for something to grab my head around as someone newly introduced to religious practice, in a historical or ahistorical sense.
