What are some his approved movies?
Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
Mostly accurate, but a little sexist in the first movie and with heavy protestant bias.

Downfall.
Memes, aside, it's the best.

Idiocracy

Fetih 1453
For modern history based historicals, look at some of Clint Eastwood's filmography.
The Passion of John of Arc
Horseman on the Roof
The Duellists
Apocalypto and The Passion of Christ (best seen as companion pieces)
Barry Lyndon
>>1309755
>The Duellists
Thank you for this! Great movie with literary and historical appeal.
>>1309744
In all seriousness, there are some movies and television serials you should watch if you want an intro to American culture through film:
>Roots
>To Kill a Mockingbird
>Ken Burns' The Civil War
>Lincoln
>1776
>Apollo 13
to name a few
>>1309755
>Barry Lyndon
Muuh mayne
>>1309755
>Barry Lyndon
I honestly think the film is boring but every shot is just so beautiful it's hard not to watch.
>>1309802
Fun fact: Kubrick got special lenses from made by Zeiss for NASA that could capture more light than ever before, allowing Stanley to shoot scenes solely by natural light, which is why he was able to use little to no artificial lighting; thus the painterly quality of the film. That's why he was the best.
>>1309802
That's what Kubrick do. He's monolithic pacing and perfect cinematography.
>>1309830
It really is a beautiful film, I just wasn't interested in any of the characters though. I like the shots that are paced out and zoom it and it's like a painting.
>>1309830
Holy fuck that shot really does look painted.
Anybody else look up Bobbi Starr expecting a tranny because of this post?
Then realized "his" meant "/his/"?

>>1309846
It's one of my favorite films, mostly for its technical accomplishments and beauty - I think it's slow too. It's very well acted and intended to be just as measured as it is. I see it as an experiment in 19th century pacing for a 21st century audience. I think Kubrick really wanted to bring Thackeray's book to life as truthfully as possible.
>>1309860
20th century I mean, it was released in 1975.
>>1309860
I heard it's what Kubrick ended up doing when the studios wouldn't shit out the budget for Napoleon
>>1309869
After the film "Waterloo" was a failure they got cold feet; I've never read the Napoleon screenplay, I should check that shit out.

This one was fairly accurate, so naturally it got criticized for being too long and boring.
perfect /his/ film
Tora!Tora!Tora!
The Longest Day
Two of the most historically accurate films.

>I think it's slow too
No it isn't. It is very, very evenly paced according to its length (over three hours). What you are upset by is the tone, which is the restrained 1700's, this is integral to the film's historic quality. The narrator sets it off brilliantly, the film uses restraint very well in contrast with violence, both satirizing the veneer of restrain, and using dry understatement to make otherwise horrific things slightly humorous (all this is evident with the first scene).
>>1310106
>>1309860
Already covered that.
I wasn't upset by the tone. You didn't read past the first sentence of my last post. You shouldn't write about film, you're too pretentious.
>>1309755
Apocalypto is one of the most unaccurate movies of all times. It shows literally nothing about the Mayan culture and is extremely off the real timeline. Mayas were already extinct when the Europeans came.
>t. Anon from Guatemala that gets a hard on every time they talk about this country's ancient culture.

FYI: It's "inaccurate" and "of all time".

So is Braveheart, but it's still a superb film

the cinematography is pretty good
Very slow (for a good reason) but pretty good and very accurate.
>>1310213
Like I said, it must be seen in the context of a companion piece to The Passion of Christ. Rather than a documentary, it's way of contrasting different ideas of sacrifice and religion.
>>1310193
Stanley Kubrick takes considerable liberty with Thackery's work though. Barry Lyndon in the book is an unreliable narrator that is the one made fun of, but the movie doesn't make fun of him at all, more it uses him to make fun of everything else.
