Bee (3 KP) rated History on Film/Film on History in Books
Feb 9, 2019
His arguments on the accuracy of historical film, the representation of history on screen and the questions of "good" and "bad" films are engaging and a good introduction to this discourse while his writing is clear, his theories well referenced for wider research and his tone easily accessable.
He takes a closer look at History and the differences as well as similarities to history on screen as opposed to writing while questioning if there is even such thing as historical accuracy.
This is a great read for scholarly use but also for the casual fans of cinema.
