Al-Andalus (1974)
Credits: Director: Jaime Oriol + Antonio Tarruella
Synopsis: This uneven production intends to outline Spanish Muslim history - from the 8th century to the expulsion of Arabs and Jews in 1492. Although the Islamic monuments in Spain, the history of Andalus and the landscape of Spain are dramatically presented - often excessively so - choppy editing, egregious errors of details and mispronunciations mar the overall work.

Al Mutanabbi (2002)

المسلسل العربي أبو الطيب المتنبي

Credits: Director Haitham Haqqi / Starring Salloum Haddad المخرج الأردني فيصل الزعبي مسلسل "المتنبي" من بطولة الممثل سلوم حداد
Synopsis: The life history of the renowned poet Abu al Tayyeb al Mutanabbi.
(Kufa, Iraq 915- Baghdad 965) Arab poet, considered the greatest of the classical Arab poets. al-Mutanabbi was educated in Damascus, as well as choosing to live among bedouins in the desert, with the tribe Banu Qalb. It was during his youth that he got his name, which means "the one who wants to become Prophet", when he participated in revolutionary movements.
During imprisonment he started to compose his poetry. From 948 to 957 al-Mutanabbi worked close to the Syrian prince Sayfu d-Dawla in Aleppo, and wrote a number of panegyrics for him. But as al-Mutanabbi was still political active, he was eventually forced to flee to Egypt, but as he wrote satires that presented the court in a negative way, he had to move again, now back to Iraq, to Baghdad.
Later on he worked as a court poet in Shiraz. While being without a patron, al-Mutanabbi was in 965 slain by brigands during a trip, near Baghdad.
With a flowery style, use of the ode, and changing away from the traditional Arabic qasida, al-Mutanabbi stands out as the most important representative for the panegyrical poetic style.
From a poem written to Sayfu d-Dawla, we can read this PASSAGE FROM POEM BY AL-MUTANABBI
Glory and honour were healed when you were healed, and your pain passed on to your enemies. Light, that had left the sun, as if it was sick in its body, came back to it. By race, the Arabs are supreme in the world, but a foreigner will take part with the Arabs of good heart.

Synopsis:

تتمثل محنة الواقع العربي والإسلامي الراهن في آفة التنازع والتناحر الداخلي في المجتمع بعناصره وأسسه السياسية والإقتصادية والإجتماعية. إن أبرز عناصر هذه المحنة أو البلاء الذي يرتهن إليه واقعنا افتقاد الإيمان والأمان وافتقاد العدالة وهيمنة الظلم وضعف الرؤية والبصيرة. عبر هذا المنظور يمكن استحضار العبرة في تاريخنا وقد جاء استحضارنا واستقراؤنا للتاريخ العربي من منطلق أن التاريخ قد يكرر نفسه بمآسيه إن لم نأخذ العبرة منه ونعي دروسه. ومن أبرز تلك الدروس التي يمكن استخلاصها لإسقاطها على واقعنا الراهن ما حدث لمملكة اليمامة القديمة التي كانت زاهرة في زمنها.
لكن العدو الطامع نفذ إليها فاجتاحها وقضى عليها عبر الظلم والتجبر الذي وقع على أهلها والتنازع على السلطة والفرقة بين أهلها. في هذا العمل ولدقة وصواب اختياره سعينا إلى أن نضع التاريخ في إطار دلالي في المضمون وجمالي ومشوق في الشكل القديم درساً من دروس التاريخ لأهل الحاضر

Anna and the King of Siam (1946)
aka:
Credits: Directed by: John Cromwell. Writing credits: Sally Benson (I) + Talbot Jennings.
Synopsis: Anna Owens and King Mongkut were real people, this is basically a true story. Both this film, the play on which it was based, and the fabulous musical "The King And I" (haven't seen the new cartoon version) are very similar versions of the same story. They suffer from some of the same flaws: White men in yellowface as the king, a weak story (always a danger with reality), and an unmitigated dose of racist colonial arrogance, but in "The King and I" the flaws are mitigated by fabulous performances and some terrific musical numbers.
In 1862, young English widow Anna Owens accepts the job of teaching the royal children of Siam. On her arrival in Bangkok, culture clash is immediate. The king respects Anna for standing up to him, though this appalls his courtiers. In due course, she becomes the king's confidant and diplomatic advisor; their relationship endures through many trials. Summary written by Rod Crawford

Anna Karenina (2000) (mini)
aka:
Credits: Actors: Helen McCrory, Kevin McKidd, Douglas Henshall, Mark Strong, Amanda Root, Directors: David Blair
Synopsis: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. This famous line commences a refreshingly modern interpretation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina-—an epic tale of love, duty, marriage and infidelity. This richly detailed film charts the tragic romantic triangle formed when the dashing Count Vronsky defies social conventions and falls into forbidden love with Anna, the ignored wife of an aristocrat. Soon, Anna’s children—a son by Alexei and illegitimate daughter by Vronsky—become pawns in Alexei’s game to see that Anna pays a terrible price for her indiscretion. With its gripping narrative and unbridled romance, Anna Karenina reveals the uncontrollable passion, emotional betrayal and courage of a woman who violates moral strictures and risks everything to follow her heart. Helen McCrory stars as Anna, along with Kevin McKidd (Trainspotting) as Count Vronsky, the handsome object of her desires; and Tony Award-winner Stephen Dillane (The Real Thing) as Alexei Karenin, Anna’s callously principled husband.

Anne of the Thousand Days (1969)
Credits: Director : Charles Jarrott Star: Richard Burton, Genevieve Bujold, Anthony Quayle, Irene Papas
Synopsis: Middle Ages (1066 to 1450 AD), Richard Burton as King Henry and Genevieve Bujold as Anne Boleyn in this emotionally charged drama about one of history's most famous tragic love affair. Anne of the Thousand Days is the belated film adaptation of Maxwell Anderson's 1948 stage play. The story concentrates on the romance between Britain's King Henry VIII (Richard Burton) and his ill-fated second wife Anne Boleyn (Genevieve Bujold). After holding out for marriage rather than an illegitimate union, Anne marries Henry after he sheds himself of Katherine of Aragon — causing a rift between the Crown and the Church in the process. Anne's inability to produce a male heir leads Henry to look about for other suitable mates. Henry's sinister right-hand man Cromwell (John Colicos) arranges for Anne to be condemned on a charge of adultery. She is beheaded, while Henry disconsolately sits in Windsor Castle, regretting this callous example of political expediency. Richard Burton is ideally cast in Anne of the Thousand Days, but it is Genevieve Bujold who delivers the best, most complex performance in the film.

In an attempt to quell a Hun invasion, ambitous Roman General Flavius Aetius attempts to form an alliance against Attila against their mutual enemy, Visigoth King Theodoric. But this plan backfires, and it soon becomes clear that a violent showdown between all three armies awaits. Summary written by Ronos

Augustus
aka:
Credits: Director: Roger Young
Synopsis: Augustus is equal parts history lesson and soap opera, and thoroughly engaging at all levels. Peter O'Toole plays Octavius/Augustus, heir to his doomed uncle Julius Caesar's command of the far-flung Roman empire. Surviving an assassination attempt and struck by news of the death of his old friend and ally, Agrippa (Ken Duken), in the same day, Octavius waxes nostalgic about his youthful exploits in Caesar's army (Benjamin Sadler plays the young Augustus in flashbacks) and his unprepared immersion in the deadly politics of the Mark Antony (Massimo Ghini) era. More immediate are Octavius' problems trying to stave off conspiracies by his wife Livia (Charlotte Rampling) to set up the emperor's stepson, Tiberius (Michele Bevilacqua), as heir, and talk his dutiful daughter Julia (Vittoria Belvedere) into a marriage she doesn't want. Roger Young (Jesus) directs this highly watchable costume drama, and O'Toole's golden presence makes the ancient intrigues tragically human. --Tom Keogh

Synopsis: In 651 C.E. Khan Kubrat died and the Khazars accelerated their raids upon Great Bulgaria. His five sons split the Bulgarian tribe and each led his to find new land where they could live in peace. Khan Asparukh, the youngest son, went west and, after an arduous journey lasting for years, southward across the River Danube, into Moesia. In 680-81, in alliance with the Slavs, he inflicted tunning defeats on the Roman legions and forced the Byzantine Empire to recognize the formation of the new state of Bulgaria in the lands where it still exists today.
A spectacular epic, "Khan Asparukh" was made to celebrate the 1,300th anniversary of the founding of Bulgaria. This edited version compresses the three-part film from almost 6 hours to 95 minutes. Sumptuously filmed, with over 50,000 extras, the film narrates the history of these momentous events, from the fall of Great Bulgaria in the Asian steppes, through Asparukh's perilous trek west, and the decisive battles with the Byzantines. The original film was seen by over 11 million Bulgarians, a stunning feat for a population of less than 8 million!
