Perpetually Offended
These movies are not exactly "historical" but I could watch them many times in the course of a year.
Probably one of the grittiest and heart felt depictions of interracial brotherhood and combat I've ever had the pleasure of watching! You see Norsemen (Vikings) not looking like what we've been conditioned to see them as... The people feel real and authentic... The villages feel lived in... The humor hits every time... The emotional highs connect... It's everything you want in an "historical" movie that doesn't feel like Hollywood's version of their history.
The Director's Cut of this movie is MUCH more enjoyable than the already enjoyable theatrical cut.
This movie was my introduction to Mads Mikkelsen as the Zen warrior who was obviously taught by East Asian and nomadic Middle East warriors.
I loved the characters of Bors and Lancelot... Arthur, though, is every man who dreams of peace and joy for his found brothers but, in the end, must accept that they will have to fight for their freedom. The camaraderie and love these men have for each other and their families (Bors's brothers will die for his wife and kids) is inspiring!
What about you guys?
