How come there are so few movies set between 500AD and 1500AD.
That's a thousand years of history that barely ever gets covered.

can i get a few examples because you've caught my interest

>Implying the dark ages was the result of Christianity, not Northern European paganism
>>79606144
I want more English movies like Apocalypto. Or anything with human sacrifice. I don't even care if ayy lmaos are in it

Those weren't books about science or natural truth, they were about shit like theology, fiction, and the medieval equivalent of self-help
it was the dark ages so it was really dark and shit. hollywood lighting is expensive.

thats after 1500
You need to start filming them

It doesn't matter, they're history worth preserving.

They were books about philosophy and culture, though. The reason we place so much value on discovering natural truth comes from the ancient Greeks, who practically invented the scientific method, millennia before the Age of Enlightenment.
To be honest guys I can't name a single movie set in that time period.
mongol comes to mind

>inb4 people shit on it for whatever reasons, probably minor points of historical innacuracy

Robin Hood
The Passion of Joan of Arc
El Hombre de la Mancha
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I'm more interested in why we've never had a good movie about the Aurignacian or Magdalenian period in Europe.
You don't even need to make shit up, but giant beasts and neanderthal beast men existed while Europeans lived as native Americans did only a few hundred years ago, despite being 40,000 years ago.
Would be wicked interesting

>Oppressive, dystopian architecture
Why do liberals see techno-urban nightmares as paradise?

Rome fell and there weren't a central metropolis where all wars and intellectual activities were concentrated in those times.
It's kinda like Paramount going out of business and being replaced by 100 tiny indies.
There are still good stuff being made, but none of the indies can make a massive blockbuster epic that will be talked about decades initial theatrical run like Ben-Hur or 2001 A Space Odyssey.
