ITT: Historically accurate films

It might be accurate in what it shows, but it is not accurate on the whole, since it ends up glorifying Alexander rather than really delving into him as a man - his alcoholism, his bad treatment of old friends, and so on.

Was he gay?

>>84013826

weren't greeks like the Romans? i.e

fucking a woman = hetro

fucking a puer delicatus or twink in the ass = fucking manly and hetro as fuck

taking it in the ass = gay

eating pussy = weak and gayer than gay

you forgot Braveheart

Pretty much. The bottoms were still seen as degenerate fags. The Tops were the Alphas.

There's not much evidence to suggest the Greeks or the Romans particularly endorsed homosexuality and some philosophers like the stoics were totally opposed to it. Both cultures were probably very adulterous, though again it wasn't approved, the Romans disdained the Etruscans for being so openly adulterous.

Braveheart is not historically accurate at all. They even got the dates wrong.

>>84013681
Definitely. Just don't expect it to be The Iliad.

King Arthur
The one with Clive Owen and based Mads

It's a fun little action flick, some great fighting scenes, amd no matter if you're gay or straight, you'll get some sexual pleasure from it.
It's not a very good movie, and makes a mockery of The Iliad, but it's fun enough to watch with a bucket of popcorn.
