Movies that are categorized under the historical drama genre aren't always true to history. Which supposedly historical films are mostly fictional?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Historical movies criticized for their accuracy and realism aren't necessarily terrible films, in fact, some of the best war movies of all time are liveral with the truth. These movies are guilty of skewing and bending history to the filmmaker's will, offering inaccurate versions of known historic events. At the same time, filmmakers do this in order to cater to the vast majority of audiences.
Moreover, the iconic blue face paint the Scots wear in the film wasn't historically accurate for that time period. Braveheart prioritizes emotional impact and a hero narrative over precise historical representation, making it more of a historical fantasy than a strict retelling of events. Even the title Braveheart refers to Robert the Bruce - not William Wallace.
6 Apocalypto Criticized by historians to be one of the most historically inaccurate movies ever, Apocalypto is a gripping adventure set against the backdrop of the ancient Maya civilization. It takes considerable liberties by portraying the Maya as a bloodthirsty, cannibalistic society on the brink of collapse, a misrepresentation of their complex culture.
Meanwhile, the Siege of Jerusalem itself is heavily dramatized in the film for intensity, not accuracy. While it can be argued that the movie captures the spirit of the Crusades, its deviations from historical reality support dangerous views about the medieval history of Catholicism and Islam.
