Movies about the Middle Ages are shocking. The scenes lead viewers to have a clear idea of what life was like in the medieval era and to understand the economic, social, and political aspects of the time. Among the most iconic films are “Braveheart” and “The Name of the Rose”, where they show some of the most important events of the time, such as the hundred years of war, the most outstanding battles, and the events that made it possible to change the slave production mode towards the feudal. They are films that create a window into the past to show how man is capable of fighting and uniting to achieve important changes. Another of the most outstanding aspects of these films is that they stage the way of dressing of the time, they show little concern for hygiene, and also how it was common to see accusations of witchcraft. Films based on the Middle Ages show, in the most realistic way possible, the drama and difficulties experienced at the time to abolish the use of slaves and how people lived under the new economy based on land production and vassalage.
