Kinolapy - a common thing. And you can forgive them for films of all genres, except historical. Why? Because from the historical cinema we are waiting for reliability. Otherwise what is its peculiarity?
Alas, even the most experienced film crews are capable of making mistakes. But it seems that they somehow manage to produce such a cool product, that the public still turns a blind eye to many gaffes. True, it will not work indefinitely. Therefore, comrades directors, screenwriters, producers, keep in mind!
1. "Troy"
In this film, a lot of mistakes - from coins in front of corpses (which at that time no one on the faces of the dead did not put) to the metal spokes in the umbrella of Elena. Many people paid attention to soldier's equipment with weapons. It is not necessary to understand the military matter too well to understand that they are somewhat ... younger than the Trojan War (XIII - XII century BC) and refer to the V-IV centuries.
2. "300 Spartans"
The Persian ruler Xerxes never positioned himself as a god. He was a Zoroastrian and believed in the "Wise God." The information about the Battle of Thermopil is also somewhat distorted. The fact is that it involved a little more than 300 Greeks. About 4 thousand. But the number of Persian troops is exaggerated. Historians believe that with the Greeks fighting 70 - a maximum of 300 thousand people, but not a million.
3. Lincoln
In the scene, when Congress votes for the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, the hall is completely occupied. In fact, 18 seats were supposed to remain empty because of the separated states.
Another blunder is for the film, a couple of congressmen from Connecticut are voting against the amendment. In fact, all four representatives of this state acted "For".
4. "Operation Argo"
The film says that representatives of the British and New Zealand embassies did not help the Americans in any way. In fact, everything was not so. Briton Arthur Wyatt even received a medal for the risk, which he went to, helping the US.
5. The Gladiator
The initial battle looked very impressive, but the setting was not exactly accurate. The fact is that the Roman legions were trained to maintain the system and always adhered to this tactic. The military understood perfectly well: as soon as the system is broken, their chances of destruction will grow several times.
In addition, in fact, Commodus did not kill Mark Aurelius' father.
6. "Playing in imitation"
In the film, Alan Turing is shown by a single scientist, who is working independently of the Enigma burglary. But in fact he had an assistant - mathematician Gordon Welchman, whose name in the film is not even mentioned.
7. Pearl Harbor
In order to list all the films made by the creators of the Pearl Harbor, a few hours will not be enough. Let us dwell only on a few of them. Firstly, the film shows the biplanes "Stirman", which at the time of the described events have not yet been exploited. Secondly, the authors for some reason omitted the important nuance that the Japanese warned the Americans about the attack an hour before him. Third, at some point in the frame appears the Memorial Arizona, built ... a little later - just the events that it is dedicated to, at the time of the Pearl Harbor harbor attack, have not happened yet.
8. "American Sniper"
Chris Kyle went to the army not in 30 years, but in 24 years. No doubt in his colleagues and Mark Lee, the same letter that he wrote to his mother, the woman published, and did not read at the funeral.
9. "Alexander"
What immediately catches your eye is the disorganization of the Persian army, which in fact was an invincible, well-coordinated mechanism. King Darius III is not entirely accurate. In the film, he looks rather young, although in fact, at the time of the events described, he was about 50 years old.
10. "The Last Samurai"
The American flag shown in the film depicts 43 stars. The problem is that the events of the "Last Samurai" occur until 1891, when there were as many stars on the flag as before. In addition, Japanese soldiers are firing from muskets, of which only one shot can be fired at a time. In the film, the military gives turns from their weapons.
11. The Green Mile
The film takes place in Louisiana in 1935. The main character is executed on an electric chair. But this type of execution in Louisiana began to be used only since 1941.
12. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"
According to the plot, the painting takes place in 1938. At the same time on German cars are visible emblems, which depict palm trees with a swastika. This is the symbolism of the German African corps, created in 1941.
13. "Patriot"
General Cornwallis is depicted as a senior than he really is. In fact, he is slightly over 40, and he is six years younger than General Washington.
14. "Apollo 13"
According to the story, Ken Mattingly got measles, because of what he was removed from the flight. In fact, he did not participate in the rescue operation.
15. "Shakespeare in Love"
Amazing is the fact that in a movie on the streets of London it is impossible to meet any African American, although at this time the slave trade was already flourishing and black people in Europe were very many.
16. Braveheart
It is necessary to start with the fact that William Wallace never met with Robert Bruce (who in fact was called "brave heart"). In addition, in Wallace's time in Scotland no one wore kilt.
17. "Saving Private Ryan"
At the beginning of the movie, a couple of soldiers under the water trying to figure out the equipment to get to the surface, but they get bullets, and they die. But I could not bring the shots to death. The physics of the process is simple: due to the fact that the bullets entered the water, and even at an angle, they were only able to injure, but they would not have a lethal force.
