Japanese history between 1868 and 1968.

I mean, I don't think it would make a good movie because of the outsize scope but a 12-episode miniseries or something could be truly excellent. However, for most of the American public Japanese history can be divided into "Samurai and weird art" "That time we nuked them" and "Panty vending machines, instant noodles and anime" so I can't see a great deal of interest being drummed up.

fall of Constantinople ain't so glorious taken into account that Constantinople, thus their de jure 'emperor' invited savage turks and other islamic shit to fight against the orthodox Slavs that were trying to conquer it and claim the throne.

Constantinople in the last days was considered a traitorous entity throughout most of the orthodox world, essentially for inviting ottomans, allowing safe passage, and support into fighting of the Slavs. When the ottomans succeeded they said fuck the byzos and took the capital.

The exploits of the SMS Emden in the Indian Ocean, during World War I.

It's an amazing history with tons of personal courage and action events, but there are several problems that make it verboten to Hollywood.

>it's set in a colonial landscape, so there are lots of servile brown people and uncaring white ones
>it makes white people, and to make it worse, Germans, look good and their values of conservatism and diligence desirable
>there are no women, so no love story and "cool girl power" aspect to appease feminists and SJWs

Also, it's kind of surprising that there is not a single movie, from Hollywood or any other place, about the Battle of Lepanto, considering the impact that had in the arts of culture of the time.

But yes, can't make Christians look good either.

Well since you got such a big pool to pick from, i'm sure you could find some that concern medieval Europe. After looking some more, you could find some of those who weren't filmed with 10 actors in one studio. After giving it some more time, you could even find some that concern anything else other Scots x English or English x French. And after looking really really really really hard and sacrificing to Satan, you could maybe find like two-three that are somewhat historically accurate.
>>
>>488045
And why should they? Hollywood is, after all, the *American* movie industry. Hungarians, Poles, Russian, Turks, etc. do make movies about those events. If they aren't as popular internationally, then... tough? I'd personally like to see a larger section of history movies, but you can't fault Hollywood for not making movies that their countrymen and, more importantly, prime consumers, are less likely to relate to or know nothing about the history involved.

Gotta agree here, Serbian terrorists =/= Serbia. Austria went in and demanded too much from Serbia. I think it was the demand that they control the investigation, or something, that Serbia could not swallow because it would basically mean whoever the Austrians selected to be the fall guy - eg, they would had made a direct jab at the King of Serbia and then with all the legalese of the world drag Serbia to be a vassal state - that no one could legitimately expect them to accept. It was either 'surrender and join now or fight'

> Polish Jews don't count as Poles

They don’t, by their own definition of what is a Jew.

This is the underlying issue Jews and non-Jews have had throughout history; Jews never assimilate no matter how long their ancestors have lived in the host country, they continue to remain a distinct ethnicity and their culture continues to reinforce this view.

If you’ve got a problem with this, I suggest you take it up with the local rabbi.

Absolute bullshit. Jews were assimilated into pre-Nazi Germany and Austria, and they're certainly assimilated in the US and Canada today.

Jews are/were always Jews first, back then and today. That’s _their_ rules.

Devout Jews see themselves as foreign elements in society unless they are living in Israel. Obviously things are different for Jews that aren't real Torah thumpers.

Assassins Creed fucking annoys me. Lore says that it's "Benevolent Dictators vs Compassionate Anarchists" and it's meant to be gray morality. Then in practice they make it Stormtroopers v Ewoks. This, combined with HUGE bias. Ottomans are good guys, Bush was a Templar puppet and Assassins support Biden in what was a rigged election (I'm not joking), Crusaders are basically Hitler, it's so fucking annoying.

not really. many jews mentioned by that guy wouldn't have identified as jewish first, even if the religious and clerics continue to assert that the rule applies to all jews. the west, whether we like it or not, is a "liberal" society where individuals have the right to associate with whatever they want, rabbis be damned
>>
>>494825
Shigeru Mizuki also made Onwards Towards Our Noble Deaths, which was semi-autobiographical. I highly recommend it.

Also, the very beginning of The Karate Master/Karate Baka Ichidai takes place in WWII, but that's only to establish the main character as a failed kamikaze pilot (his plane broke down when he was supposed to fly his mission, and then the war ended). The original manga, a biography of Mas Oyama's life, probably has a little more to do with WWII, but it's not in English AFAIK.

The Peloponnesian War. I understand that it's too complicated to make a movie out of, but still, it's one of the most interesting conflicts in world history, especially since it practically marks the downfall of Classical Greek civilisation. Sparta and Athens never became great again after that confrontation.

The First Crusade.

You could make a good, interesting, even-handed movie about the first crusade that really got into the characters and motivations of those involved. The plot has so many ups and downs it's practically movie material right off the shelf.

But because it ends with the massacre at Jerusalem, anyone making the movie accurately would be accused of either being a terrorist enabler (if they portrayed the massacre) or a revisionist whitewasher (if they left it out or minimized it).

You can't blame them. Any division the Serbs and Croats would have accepted, would have left Bosnia a tiny non-viable state, sucking the cocks of both the Serbs and Croats.

Did black freedmen who fought under the Stars and Bars consider themselves white?

I'm not the guy you're talking with and I'm not knocking Jews for going to pains to preserve their identity - in fact I quite respect that about them as a people - but by the same token that very quality of being a Jew before you're anything else is responsible for their perennial status as an outgroup and the stereotypes surrounding them.

Are there any american movies that deal with or are set in Russia during the Perestroika years and the years after the fall of the Soviet Union?

I know the primary reason modern Russians hate America and liberals in particular is because of the decisions and experiments they took on Russia during the 90's.
