Dacii (1966)
aka Dacii (1966) aka: Guerriers, Les (1966) (France)
Credits: Directed by: Sergiu Nicolaescu / Mircea Albulescu + Geo Barton  + Emil Botta  + Pierre Brice as Septimius Severus  + Gyorgy Kovacs (IV)  + Georges Marchal as Fuscus  + Marie-José Nat as Meda  + Amza Pellea as Decebal  + Nicolae Secareanu
Synopsis: Unlike many Hollywood movies of the same period (Cleopatra, Ben-Hur, Fall of the Roman Empire, etc) this one is almost perfect in the historical accuracy sence. They used the latest archeological data available at the time (Trajan's column) to show Roman legions in their glory. Cinematography is great. I've heard they used something like 5,000 extras to create battle scenes. Unlike its sequel (Collona), this movie is a masterpiece for everyone who likes cinema and ancient history. I think that if it would be released in the USA it would be nominated for Oscar. Its a shame that this video is hard to find and is not available in major stores.

The Day Christ Died (1980) (TV)
aka:
Credits: Director: James Cellan Jones. Writing credits: Edward Anhalt + James Lee Barrett. cast: Chris Sarandon as Jesus Christ + Colin Blakely as Caiaphas + Keith Michell as Pontius Pilate + Jonathan Pryce as Herod + Barrie Houghton as Judas + Jay O. Sanders as Peter + Eleanor Bron as Mary + Tim Pigott-Smith as Tullius + Delia Boccardo as Mary Magdelene + Hope Lange as Claudia + Oliver Cotton as John + Gordon Gostelow as Nicodemus + Harold Goldblatt as Annas + Gary Brown as Aaron + Leonard Maguire as The Demoniac
Synopsis: The Crucifixion of Christ seen more from a political and historical point of view than a spiritual one. This is the most depressing film on Jesus Christ that I already viewed. Not only the most depressing, but I force (I don't eat Passion of the Christ of Mel Gibson, it is clear). Until today I don't understand which was the intention of the producing of do a film as this, different from all the other films on Christ done already. Here in this film Jesus (Chris Sarandon) it is just shown as human man, and no divine, that it is determined until the end in accomplishing his/her mission. It is also with physical lines (little accepted by most of the people) like Jesus it was very probably: a brunet man, of dark brown eyes, of rustic appearance, and not of hair blond or brown clear, of delicate face and of blue eyes as most imagines, in short, in this film Jesus is shown as a natural man from Palestine of the first century of ours was and not with European lines, as they were Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus in "Jesus of Nazareth" and of "King of Kings." And he was not shown like a solemn Jesus, reverent as it was in the other films, but a more human Jesus totally naked of any divinity. The same I say of Last Supper scenes and prayer in the garden of Gethsemani. In the scenes of the judgment, of the flagellation, Jesus is treated with such a ferocious hate shown never in other films. Jesus is viewed as somebody that has be punished severely and dead the more quickly in a more intense way than in other films. I remember of the scene, in that Caiaphas says Jesus soon at the end of the judgment: "And you don't forget that you are a Jew! " It is also of the scenes In that king Herod says for Jesus: "You are not a king of anything!!! Monarch of anybody!!! That more ridiculous king you would be!!!! " And all make fun of Jesus. Before "Passion of the Christ" of Mel Gibson, this had been the most violent film on the last of Jesus that it had already viewed. In this film Jesus is treated with end hate, contempt and ridiculed in such a cruel and merciless way that he left me very impressed and it finishes completely defeated, treaty as the vilest and despicable of all the criminals. I didn't like nor a little of this film. This film is very depressing, revolting and sad...

Продължавайки делото за обединение славяните и българите в името на една нация, хан Крум насила жени синовете си за славянки. Той създава закони, които сурово наказват клеветниците, крадците и насилниците. Сред приближените на хана се заражда недоволство. Двама от тях организират убийството му, но не успяват и избягват във Византия. С тяхна помощ византийският император Никифор І предприема поход срещу българите. Във Върбишкия проход се завързва решаваща битка. В нея загива самия император. Убит е и един от синовете на Крум. Спечелвайки победата, Крум решава да води преговори за мир.
