Who will play Emperor JUSTinanus I in the biopic?
>>70429511
Big guy
>>70429511
Steve Buscemi
>>70429511
I want to see a Heraclius movie first.
>>70429568
I'd like to see a series ranging form the later years of Constantine VII to Basil the Bulgar Slayer.
The story of Nikephorao Phokas & John Tzimiskes would be particularly great.

>tfw virtually no Byzantine Empire flicks
>>70429511
The angry anti-JUST poster is still sleeping. Lol
>>70429568
>beat the shit out of the Persians after 30 years of constant warfare only to lose half of his lands to a bunch of goatfucking sandniggers
Heraclius is such a tragic emperor.
>>70429511
Byzantium was just as pointless and weak as HRE

It's fucking criminal that there isn't a movie about the fall of Constantinople
That moment where the last Emperor throws off his crown/robes and charges into the front lines never to be seen again is straight out of a movie script
>>70430535
Isn't he also the one who had his family murdered in front of him before being executed by Phokas?
>>70430643
Exactly
>>70430594
They saved Europe from the mudslime invasion for centuries. That alone makes them more useful than most countries.
>>70430594
Byzantium=HRE=The only reason europe isn't overrun by sandnigger today.
>>70430594
Is this bait? It was the most significant influence on European and Middle Eastern politics/culture for centuries.
Just because the HRE and Byzantium went on to become backwaters doesn't mean they weren't once great.
>>70430668
Who? Byzantine? They failed and lost every single battle.
Same as HRE.
>>70430704
The only reason Europe wasn't overun by sandniggers was because of Poland and later Russia that stomped Turks.
Germans were useless.
>>70430734
Western history revisionism needs to go. Go orthodox or go home heretics.
>>70430774
>Byzantium
>Germans
I don't even
>>70430848
You were speaking about HRE standing at the gates of Europe and being somehow succesors of Byzantines.
>>70429511
I need a movie on 1453 dammit. Everything else is insignificant against Constantine's last stand. Pure pottery that the past Roman Emperor would die protecting his city.
>>70429511
iblis embo
>>70430870
Yeah I noticed the misspelling a bit too late, I meant to type ERE.
>>70430648
Heraclius killed Phokas, not the other way around.
>>70430926
That's fine, lad. It happens.
>>70430704
>Byzantium=HRE
This is just wrong, though.
>>70430535
>succesfully wins a civil war against the sitting emperor
>brutal war between him and persians that lasts the better part of a decade only ended by a brilliant maneuver and political intrigue
>bunch of sandniggers rush in after everything is depeleted and your armies are exhausted
Poor bastard.
>>70431102
And then Mudhammad had the nerve to claim he converted the Emperor by a written letter from him. Im pretty sure Muslims still believe that.
>>70429511
>married a whore
>adopted her bastards
>made her co-ruler
should be played by Louis CK desu
>>70431102
>tfw you will never watch a scene with Heraclius triumphantly restoring the Holy Cross in Jerusalem after the Persians stole it
>>70431218
>he actually believed Procopius
Are you for real?
>>70431279
>Procopius
He was so biased against Justinian he only told the truth.
>>70431339
Wow, so Justinian was a literal demon who never slept and walked around at night without a head!
