What is Reel History : The World According to the Movies about?
Since the invention of cinema, movie-makers have raided the history books in order to film some of the greatest stories ever told. But which movies get it right and which get it very wrong? If you've ever left the cinema wondering whether caveman really did clash with dinosaurs, or whether the Spartan army actually deployed battle rhinos, then help is at hand. From the good: __Twelve Years a Slave__, the bad: __Braveheart__,to the ugly: __One Million Years BC__, historian Alex von Tunzelmann has watched, and graded, the classics of the silver screen in order to prise fact from fiction. __Reel History__ is a witty and illuminating romp through the world according to the movies, which will appeal to film fanatics and history buffs alike.
