Why hasn't someone made a movie about this guy?

Majorian's life would make a great film. The part where Ricimer stabs him in the back would be heart-wrenching.

Speaking of which, a gritty series on the Great Purge up to Khrushchev's foiling of pic related would be nice.

Why is the Anabasis not a two part movie?

Belisarius or Flavius Aetius. A movie about the last true Romans wouldn't go amiss.

Too Gladiator / Alexander.

>Flavius Aetius.
The Attilla the Hun movie starring Gerard Butler covers Aetius , Aetius is played by Powers Booth. It was a 2 part TV movie.

I remember this cheesy and badly acted

>>2803051

It's allegorical in the same way Braveheart was, maybe you should watch it with different glasses.

>>2803070

how is that even an argument

>It's not shit if you perfume it

>>2803085
An argument? I said you probably haven't a clue about storytelling.

Amazing story. Didn't know who that guy was. Thanks for sharing.

Today I learned
>there were black bands roaming around Europe
>there was piracy in the North Sea
>Zweihänder is as badass as always, and proven effective in combat

>>2803089

Look, it was badly acted, badly filmed and badly written low budget and there really is nothing you argue about that

underrated

Either Alcibiades or Demetrius, and not a movie but a high-budget TV series, 3 or 4 seasons long.

Alcibiades. Yes. Enough material for a Game of Thrones scale epic.

A movie based solely on the two days of the battle of Bannockburn. Main character would naturally be Robert the Bruce.
