Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: Son of the Dragon in Books

Jan 12, 2018

Once I got over my surprise that this was not a story set in Asia and featured no dragons, I quite enjoyed myself. It feels like a long while since I heard a 5th Doctor pure historical, (not true, this being the era of Peri and Erimem, but still) and like Peri, I kept waiting for that supernatural element to appear. We are talking about Dracula, after all. But nope. Just a wonderful straightforward historical with some great performances. I tire a bit of the "let's throw Erimem to the lusty bad guy trope" but other than that, high marks. For more on this, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

Bee (3 KP) rated History on Film/Film on History in Books

Feb 9, 2019

Anyone concerned with film criticism and historiophoty should read from Rosenstone.

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.
