As a lover of historical movies, I often question just how historically accurate the films I watch really are. Luckily enough for people like me, there's a whole YouTube channel dedicated to reviewing and assessing the historical authenticity of movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, Braveheart, and loads more. Here are ten of the most popular ones:
Lawrence of Arabia
Widely considered to be one of the most influential movies in cinema history, Lawrence of Arabia depicts one man's experiences in the Arabian Peninsula during the First World War. Throughout the movie, Lawrence involves himself with the Arab National Council, and takes part in attacks on Damascus and Aqaba. It's time to find out just how historically accurate these depictions truly are...
Braveheart
Braveheart tells the story of the 13th-century Scottish warrior, William Wallace, who led Scotland into battle against England's King Edward I in the First War of Scottish Independence. Unfortunately, it has often been cited as one of the most historically inaccurate films ever made, and this video explains exactly why.
