When your Country appears in entertainment media, do you care about historical accuracy?

mostly how they portrayed the aztec knights, they wore clothes when not in battle and they didn't practice fighting all the time, they actually had real jobs within the aztec hierarchy, it was a pretty shameful display of stereotype and probably outright racism

Not really.

Jobs like what?

eagle and jaguar knights were policeman/peacekeepers

The Netherlands appears in quite a few movies. And it's always retarded.

I like unreal things

Sci-Fi / SF / Ghost etc

It doesn't.

They spoke Maya in the film which is off from the real world timeline of mayan civilization by like half a century

My country only appears in foreign media about the Yeti

Holy shit RARE
What actually happens in Uzbekistan?

Were they corrupt as current mexican police?

Tldr
25 years of independence one ruler - mini USSR 2.0
He ded
Now gets better
Most are poor, but almost everyone has propper homes

I mostly just disliked the ending which messed up the timeline and made no sense historically. However over here we liked the movie because it was actually filmed here with local actors in real mayan languages (ancient maya is a lost language so it was as close as you can get). I just wish Pre colombian movies were more of a thing honestky. Also it was a mel gibson movie, after braveheart and the patriot I do not think anyone expected too much accuracy. Good movie overall though.

they were actually suppose to be very devout and prayed everyday

I’m completely ignorant about your country. Nobody here knows anything about you

Yes it was a good movie and a nice action film for an area not much explored but it doesn't do much for the portrayal of the ancients

Same over here, at best we would think himalayas and yaks.

So they didnt help the spaniards? What happened to them after spaniards came? Did they disolved their orders?

You are not far off. And a lot of Hindu gods and poverty and that is Nepal

all the aztec nobles were killed, there weren't that many of them in the first place

majority of aztec army were their allies/peasants

I know where you are geographicaly and that you somehow managed to stay independent for a really long time

We acrually had a nepalese exchange student over here and we collected clothes for nepalese children while I was in green school.

That is sad to hear

because of the pyramid structure of the aztec society and their reliance on subversive groups of other people that greatly outnumber them, the aztec society was at heart very fragile
when the spanish finally decided to record some stuff about aztecs they had to rely on non-aztec peoples because no body knew how it worked, only how their vassels worked and infer some kind of likeness

We had a civil war and earthquake.
We are doing much better now since the communists have taken over

a lot of them

The movie was about the Maya though, not the Aztec

how to Australians feel about the Gallipoli movie with mel gibson?

I was in Greenschool over 20 years ago senpai.

But it's nice to hear that. Out teacher actually traveled to Nepal and he said that communists would extract taxes (money) from tourists.

that's even worse, mayas didn't even have knights, just commoners and rulers, not much class segregation as heavily depicted in the film

i think they really needed to fuse the two in order to be more "native"

I never trust the entertainment industry that is out to make money and propaganda, to be an industry that prioritizes accuracy. Every time the middle east is depicted in foreign movies and games, it is a depicted a depiction that is completely out of touch with reality. If they want to make the main character go through a hard time they make it look like a 7th world shithole with no streets, law enforcement or whatever. If they want to make it look exotic they add in indian culture and belly dancers to achieve this. There is no point in expecting hollywood to depict any region faithfully. Just depicting it in a way that will compliment the rest of the movie, a way that will make money, or a way that will propaganda in it.

it is a* depiction that is completely out of touch with reality.m

or a way that revolves around propaganda

They did. But now they rule the government and give us wealth.

the only media I've seen from mexico are decapitations

Simo Hayha is about to appear in popular manga Shuumatsu no Valkyrie

he meant "it never happens in media that actually matters"

and even at that he's wrong
alexmagnus.free.fr/Picsou/70 - The Quest for Kalevala ( extra page).pdf

Yeah same. I saw some historical problems, but the good far outweighs the bad. I wish the setting was more popular.

Apocalypto is about the Mayans not the aztecs

Mayans still existed during that era thou

shit

they definitely did not depict mayan way of life perhaps only the language

the setting is pretty exotic and underrated. And I like how they never dubbed the movie in any other language. So that everyone can experience it in the Mayan language. Good choice by Mel Gibson. I wish more movies did this.

I can't believe they made a movie in the Mayan language that turned out to be a hit in America. How the fuck did Mel Gibson pull that shit off?

Mayans during that era have lived a different lifestyle from the ancient Mayans. They were heavily influenced by the aztecs. Which is why they started to take the sacrifice thing more seriously. Specially when faced with smallpox. The movie's timeline and setting make sense. You just shouldn't misunderstand it. It's a pretty decent movie.

They only show a negative image of us but I'm indifferent

By being an actually talented and based entertainer.

Orientalism isn't that called? In any case, I agree.

Mayan civilization more than 500 years before the Spanish arrived.
By the time the Spanish arrived Mayans were living in shitty villages and the major mayan cities were either abandoned or destroyed.

Mayan civilization collapsed*

I'd be happy if we were *ever* mentioned in any popular historical tv series/movie at all.

Capital of porn in the EU AFAIK.

It would be neat to see anything about our nations founding by saint Bridget earning the land through miracle, the dara tribe chasing the míd men out of our curragh plains or our current struggles for nationhood in the modern day, if even without accuracy it would be nice to see some sort of representation

I would if any actual Czech history was ever presented. I cringed when Prague was featured in Spiderman.

Dudeweedandprostituteslmao

*Credits roll*

Hey, atleast they remember you for something. Here it's only the buildings that are featured. People? No chance. Probably because Americans would not understand a nation as cynical as Czechs.

Bane?

You guys have the coolest flag though.

They also have a kickass anthem. youtube.com/watch?v=i7ZvETrH-I4

It is. And orientalism is meant to present "oriental" cultures as less civilized and inferior.

as far as I know Mayan cities existed when the spanish arrived. They just weren't as dominant and large as aztec cities. A collapse doesn't mean the civilization is wiped out of existence. Civilizations do bounce back.

underrated anthem. /comfy/ desu

i was gonna say "well there's a lot of WW2 movies"
then i remembered YOU're the ones doing them about Eeastern scenario. it's never Hollywood's concern

We are hardly making any war movies. Czechoslovakia is not really a popular topic for a WW2 movie. We were occupied first, then there was some guerilla fighting but nothing major and then we were liberated by Patton and Russkies.

>Americans making a non-eurocentric movie about mesopotamia
Good one.

that movie is actually autistically accurate
youre just repeating bugman wanna be history expert bullshit
look at the location and at the year its playing in
the culture, the plague and the arrival at the end perfectly fit the year

>and i'm white therefore i'm right!

i did not say that but yes also true

he is right. What was he wrong about? which parts of the movie are inaccurate?
it's just that most people misunderstand when this movie happened and which culture it's portraying. It's unironically just a misunderstanding on the audience's part. Mel Gibson did a good job desu.

Holy shit at all the whites itt getting my culture wrong because of a fucking movie
