Movie Shout Outs - What Film Taught You History?

It's Movie Shout Out Response Time!

Yesterday's question was:

What film taught you the most about a historical event?

Marie loved this question because she's a big history nerd.  Your answers were really cool and thought-provoking.  Check them out below:

It's not a great movie, but Kingdom of Heaven (2005) by Ridley Scott made me curious about the Crusades, specifically the fall of Jerusalem, and while reading the histories I realized that Scott and the film's writers didn't take too many liberties.

Gone With The Wind (1939) - not so much the Civil War itself, but civilian life during and after, which is more fascinating to me anyway.

Thirteen Days (2000) was probably the most educational and most surprising. It was always a footnote in my history classes-teachers said "We came to close to war" and never mentioned it again. The movie showed we REALLY were close to war!

Platoon (1986) & Schindler's List (1993).

Gallipoli (1981) and Breaker Morant (1980). Sorry, I couldn't choose.

How can it not be Life of Brian (1979)?

I'm going with The Killing Fields (1984) which totally stunned and moved me when I saw it. In fact, I think I'm going to have to see it again now that I've thought of it. Ghosts of Mississippi (1996) is also on my short list of historical dramas that took me inside a moment I knew little about.

Shakespeare in Love (1998).  Clearly it is fictionalized, but I was facinated to learn how much of it was true, especially in it's portrayal of theatre at the time.   It inspired me to research more about the time period and to read plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries.

Amistad (1997).  I had no real knowledge of the slave trade in this country before that film. Just what was in the textbooks.
