I feel like people often want to put too much pressure on historical games, novels and films to educate and thus be historically accurate. But they do not take the format into consideration. First and foremost these three things have to be games, novels and films in order to be successful. The game Kee describes just sounds like a digitized version of an interesting history seminar. And I think that stretches both the format of a a game and of a seminar just too much. <br />In my opinion, these games, novels and films have a responsibility to be as historically correct as possible in the general image they convey of the past, but other than that they should dramatize and personalize the history and, indeed, serve as a way to spark people's interest rather than fully responding to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426256088018612198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643634049978585757.post-21855038736287562132014-10-05T11:45:18.085-07:002014-10-05T11:45:18.085-07:00I was really impressed with this documentary. What...I was really impressed with this documentary. What a concept. Being able to interact with video, and check sources while you go is like being able to track footnotes directly, it certainly highlights the benefits of digital learning/education.<br />What I was even more impressed with was that the documentary was narrated by Feist. Her rhythmic and rhyming narration make it even more engaging and difficult to look away.<br />I have seen medieval art transformed into animation once before, on Terry Jones's (of Monty Python) "Medieval Lives". It is nice to apply our modern artistic abilities with those of the past.<br />Thanks Nicole, I think that you've shared with us a glimpse into the future of digital history.<br />Regards,<br />Nick ClemensAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17067637651119550925noreply@blogger.com
