What are some instances in History that you wish could be potrayed to screen in a film adaption. I am particularly looking for little known stories that show forth courage, bravery, terror, and love. Fictional accounts centered on an event are appriciated as well. So many movies are out there, but hardly any anymore show the brevity of life through historical events.
If based on a book is all the more helpful, and centered on a person.
THANK YOU
Historical Events in Novels?
Fever 1793 by Anderson
Pirates! by Rees
An Acquaintance with Darkness by Rinaldi
The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Selznick (fictional story, but the period potrayed in it is one that isn't potrayed often)
A good one would be a trilogy by Crossley-Holland. It is classified as fantasy because of Arthurian elements in it. However, it covers the ill fated fourth crusade.
Reply:A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. It's not so much about a historical event as such, but a period of the history of India. It's a really sad and moving book about a man and his uncles attempt to make it through the severe poverty that india was suffering, and what happens to their friends and how the government affects them. It's a bit long but I think it could make a really poignant and moving film.
