This looks like it could be really good. Maybe a fix for those jonesing for another hit of The Odyssey.

Vive la révolution!

The movie is a dramatization of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England.

It looks great. I think it’s the one being marketed in North America as The Origin of Robin Hood or similar?

This is weirdly accurate - not that Robin Hood was around for the Peasant’s Revolt (because he’s a fictional character) but because Robin Hood stories got popular around then because of all the oppression.

(It was only really in Victorian times that we decided to anchor Robin Hood to Richard I, to make it clear that 1) he didn’t object to feudalism, just feudalism with the wrong brother in charge and 2) he was probably a noble himself anyway. Usual class appropriation bullsh*t, in other words.)

Yeah. When I first heard about the movie I didn't know anything else really except that it was the "origin of Robin Hood" I think it was an ad I was only half listening to.
