M.2 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I was inspired to start this thread by the last conversation with Bill Whittle. I would like this to be a thread on which people share movies and TV series that give an accurate depiction of a culture, so that we can learn about them. By "accurate" however, I do not necessarily mean "historically accurate", but rather something that accurately portrays the mentality of the culture. For some reason, such movies are very underrated. I am currently looking for good movies that accurately represent China, Germany, France, Iran, Turkey. If anyone has any ideas, please post. My suggestions: Japan: Outrage and Beyond Outrage. Japanese Yakuza films, directed by Takeshi Kitano. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1462667/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1724962/ Russia: The Admiral. Russian Civil War era about White Russian admiral Kolchak. (not the 124 minute version,but the 500 minute version) Most beautiful movie ever. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1542498/ North Korea: The Crossing . About North Korean dissidents who escape through Manchuria to Mongolia. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133922/ WW2 Japan and Korea: My Way. Most accurate ww2 movie ever. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606384/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plato85 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I highly recommend the Kenneth Clark's BBC documentary series 'Civilisation' which depicts European Civilisation though the ages. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264234/ Also 'The Ascent of Man' is a similar documentary series. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069733/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
