5 more period films that failed precisely in the historical retraction

There's no way: No matter how much a film production invests in historical research to try to portray an epoch as faithfully as possible, one will always find some detail that doesn't match the epoch of history. Check out 5 movies that missed some historical mistakes:

1. Pearl Harbor (2001)

The film is set in the middle of World War II, in the early 1940s, when it was taboo for women to walk down the street without pantyhose. Even in the most intense moments of the conflict, with scarcity of the product, they could find new ones to buy or reuse the socks they already had. In the movie, however, the legs were all out.

When Jack tries to convince Rose not to throw himself into the sea because it is too cold, he cites the time he fell on Lake Wissota in his homeland (Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin) and nearly froze. But this lake emerged after the construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1917 - five years after the sinking of the Titanic.

5. Troia (2004)

In this film, which depicts a conflict between Greeks and Trojans around 1300 BC, a number of historical incongruities can be noted: the siege of Troy lasted 10 years and not just a few weeks, as the film implies; Agamemnon and Menelaus did not die in the conflict; the triremes boats in which the aques arrive were only created 600 years later; the dead in the movie had their eyes covered with coins that didn't even exist back then, and so on ...
