I'm looking for films where the lower class is potrayed.

Germinal

>>84501315
It's set in 19th century. Like I said, that's not what I'm looking for

robin hood

>>84501416
Danton

>>84501491
It's kinda a given
>>84501502
Again, it's 18th century. Not interested

>>84501614

>>84501834
unless you're not talking about the movie from 1969, I'm not interested

>>84501960
That one and State of Siege

>>84501960
>>84502119
Both of them are set in 20th. Jesus, can't you read?

>>84502189
Kes

>>84502312
You're doing this on purpose, right?

>>84500484
You're barking up the wrong tree, fantasy and historical drama folk are manchildren who feel a sense of entitlement over the lower classes, and only want to read up on the upper-classes.

>>84500484
le retour de martin guerre

>>84500484
les sept samouraï

>>84504245
well at least one recommendation.
>>84504207
It just pisses me off so much every movie revolves around the monarchy and the richest.

>>84500484

flesh and blood (1985)
it's not exactly about peasants, but mercenaries. classic verhoeven, funny and dark

l'arbre aux sabots

>>84500484
me at the top

>>84500484
Hard to Be a God is *technically* set on another planet in the future, but it's basically an accurate depiction of peasant life in the middle ages, and if you didn't know what it was about going in you'd never guess that isn't what it is.

Really makes you think

>>84504460
samurais were a nobility idiot.
>>84504525
like I said earlier, 19th century. Not interested
>>84504483
I know but I'm not interested in these kinds of films
>>84504561
heard about this film
>>84504589
no, it's not for homework
>>84504588
20th century...
>>84504606
no

>>84504680
>samurais were a nobility idiot.
okay, but Seven Samurai is a three and a half hour long film and a very large portion of it revolves around the peasant farmers that the masterless ronin (basically mercenaries, hardly anything resembling nobility themselves) have been hired to protect.

>>84504680
think twice before calling me idiot on that movie and what you wanna see
i won't argue more
i recommand the 3 hours version ofc

>>84504469
The richest had the ability to make records of events. The peasants were illiterate and had no stories.

Pretty much everything worthwhile and enduring in human civilisation was created by the nobility or upper classes.


Anyway, I'm sure there are loads of such movies where peasants feature, but aren't the protagonists. An example that comes to mind is The Name of the Rose (1986).

>>84504809
Sorry, I left out the clergy. They too created worthwhile things obviously.

>>84500484
A Field in England is during the english civil war and is all commoners iirc

Michael Kohlhaas I guess, even though the main character was petty bourgeois.

>Films from the 17th century

Henry V

Hard to be a God seems like a great depiction of peasants' lives in the middle ages to me.

>>84504725
>>84504767
this thread is not about samurais. I won't argue more.
>>84504807
>The peasants were illiterate and had no stories.
you ever heard of "fiction"?
>>84504809
I've seen thousands of films about the nobility. I want something different. That's what this thread is about.
>>84504973
not from the 17th century. About 17th century. But I'd rather want films from previous centuries.

>>84500484
>thinking Lords, Barons, and landowners were below Kings.

Ha. Certainly not by the era the pictures represent. All that 'King On Top' crap stopped in the 1400's. Money was king. Then the clergy, then, the puppet kings.

>>84505043
ok.
last words from the 7th samourai:

Kanbei : C'est encore un combat perdu. Ce sont les paysans les vrais vainqueurs. Pas nous !

jesus, you're literally retarded. it's basically exactly what you requested: a movie about peasant farmers.

>>84505415
no no: he is not retarded.
you can't say that
the 7th samourai is , indeed, about peasants who hire warriors, noble warriors, to solve a problem, not counting on themselves.

>>84504944
Peasants are portrayed in The Name of the Rose, lad. And that film takes places in the 14th century.

>>84505043
A couple more films you might be interested in, if you care at all for Japanese cinema and Japanese peasantry:
Sansho the Bailiff (pretty sure the protagonists in this are supposed to be peasants, though my memory is flaky here).
The Ballad of Narayama (both versions). Period is a bit late, but they are basically living like in medieval times.
Technically, Scorsese's new film, Silence, also fits the bill somewhat.

>>84505660
>Pretty much everything worthwhile and enduring in human civilisation was created by the nobility or upper classes.
THAT is from a illiterate personn, ofc

>>84505132
I would post a picture of a white wall and you would still argue about it
>>84505426
>documentaries with no english subs
>>84505827
so funny
>>84505660
might watch these films, already seen Silence

>>84505892
So apt

>>84505851
I already amended my post to include the clergy. At that point it would be quite ironic to accuse me of being illiterate for saying that the only worthwhile things from our history came from the only groups that were actually literate.

>I'm talking about only films from older centuries like the middle ages, up to I don't know, 17th century?

Uhh anon, motion pictures were not a thing in those times. They had live theater only.

Your retardeed

>>84506371
thanks
>>84506376
yes

>>84504469
>>84504207
it possibly can't have anything to do with the fact that the rich folk were the only ones doing anything worth mentioning hmm

>>84506488
you ever heard the word "fiction"?

>>84500484
Braveheart
Apocalypto
And although it happened earlier than your time range, Passion of the Christ

Seriously, how have these not been mentioned?

>>84506594
because all of these three are very popular besides I've seen all of them.

>>84506674
Did you makes every post?
