The Lion In Winter
While many directors have attempted and failed, to create medieval films, The Lion In Winter stands out because of its true depiction of the political intensity at the time. The film offers romance, action, drama, and comedy, just like other Medieval films, but it also manages to show the struggle King Henry II’s faces throughout his life.
The Martian
Although this hasn’t actually happened, the fictional story follows an astronaut who is left behind on Mars and must learn to survive until the next mission to Mars. Although this story is fake, it is still historically accurate because of the science that is used. It is mostly from NASA engineers and experts, demonstrating how NASA would deal with this situation if it were to occur. The script received immense help from NASA staff members to make it as real as possible. It received critical acclaim and successfully brought Sc-Fi films to real life.
