Ok, so here’s a question...
Wouldn’t a movie about William the Conquerer be a great idea?

And we live with the consequences of the Battle of Hastings even today...

Works for me - several decades ago, Hollywood produced several good historical films. A little short on historical accuracy, but better than what we'd get today, IMHO.



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Absolutely! You can play Crusader Kings 2 or Medieval Total War 2 to get a feel for the time period now though. A movie would be fantastic.

William the Conqueror, a Romanian movie, was made in 1982. Romanian army soldiers played Anglo-Saxon and Norman warriors and peasants.

He’s a very controversial character even now, but yes it would be a good idea. He’d make an excellent anti-hero.
