To this day it still bothers me how rare movies set in the Bronze Age that are neither fantasy, nor Biblical, nor intentionally anachronistic are.
Surely I am not the only one. Or am I the alien among autists?
Historical period drama films set in the Bronze Age
Caleb Turner
Ryder Wright
I wish we had more movies depicting the War for Spanish Succession
Easton Jones
You're probably a minority, but one I belong to as well. Late-Neolithic to mid-Bronze-Age is peak comfy (as long as you don't actually have to live or smell there).
Wyatt Wright
Luis Perry
There was a brief scene in 3000 years of longing, I wish it was longer
Caleb Barnes
Faraon was kino.
Matthew Perry
Agreed, Conan the Barbarian sort of has that feel a bit but Bronze Age films are not common and the more modern attempts are too flashy and the set design and costumes come off as gaudy and unrealistic.
John James
Cast them.
Nicholas Morales
Have a small group of Minoans be led by this chick.
Ayden Cruz
Normies feel very uncomfortable when the see a setting that they aren't already familiar with, and they aren't familiar with Bronze-aged cultures. It's a shame but it'll never sell, you'd need someone who doesn't give a shit and wants to make their own kinds of movies like Mel or Kubrick to finance one and that kind of director is getting rarer and rarer. I agree though, a lot of potential kino could be made from that time.
Thomas Turner
Pharaoh
Nefertiti Queen of the Nile
The Egyptian
Logan Ramirez
Ryan Gosling to lead the Mycaenean invasion of Minos.

>Late-Neolithic to mid-Bronze-Age is peak comfy
100% true, neolithic especially does it for me, the turning point between caveman and advanced settlements.
I even wrote a little story about the invasion of western europe by indo-europeans (as they call them in lack of a better understanding of who they were), and the slow disappearance of the megalith culture. Would love a really atmospheric movie about that time.
Lincoln Evans
It's not marketable to normies. People just think of Pyramids when they hear bronze age.
Xavier Cox
Samson and Delilah, Hedy Lamar at her finest
Angel Parker
I think it's worse than that. People in general don't think of anything when they think Bronze Age. The average person has no idea what the Bronze Age is.
Justin Barnes
That too. I'd love to see something set in Shang/Zhou China or Sumeria but if we can't get historical stuff set in classical antiquity there's no way in hell we'd get anything that far back.
Sebastian Murphy
>classical antiquity
Isn't that ancient Rome? We get at least one movie set there like every year.
Jonathan Roberts
There aren’t any Atlanteans alive today so I cant. Sorry man.
John Bailey
All of them are garbage though
