Who will play Emperor JUSTinanus I in the biopic?

Big guy

Steve Buscemi

I want to see a Heraclius movie first.

I'd like to see a series ranging form the later years of Constantine VII to Basil the Bulgar Slayer.

The story of Nikephorao Phokas & John Tzimiskes would be particularly great.

>tfw virtually no Byzantine Empire flicks

...

The angry anti-JUST poster is still sleeping. Lol

>beat the shit out of the Persians after 30 years of constant warfare only to lose half of his lands to a bunch of goatfucking sandniggers
Heraclius is such a tragic emperor.

Byzantium was just as pointless and weak as HRE

It's fucking criminal that there isn't a movie about the fall of Constantinople
That moment where the last Emperor throws off his crown/robes and charges into the front lines never to be seen again is straight out of a movie script

Isn't he also the one who had his family murdered in front of him before being executed by Phokas?

Exactly

They saved Europe from the mudslime invasion for centuries. That alone makes them more useful than most countries.

Byzantium=HRE=The only reason europe isn't overrun by sandnigger today.

Is this bait? It was the most significant influence on European and Middle Eastern politics/culture for centuries.
Just because the HRE and Byzantium went on to become backwaters doesn't mean they weren't once great.

Who? Byzantine? They failed and lost every single battle.

Same as HRE.

The only reason Europe wasn't overun by sandniggers was because of Poland and later Russia that stomped Turks.

Germans were useless.

Western history revisionism needs to go. Go orthodox or go home heretics.

>Byzantium
>Germans
I don't even

You were speaking about HRE standing at the gates of Europe and being somehow succesors of Byzantines.

I need a movie on 1453 dammit. Everything else is insignificant against Constantine's last stand. Pure pottery that the past Roman Emperor would die protecting his city.

iblis embo

Yeah I noticed the misspelling a bit too late, I meant to type ERE.

Heraclius killed Phokas, not the other way around.

That's fine, lad. It happens.

>Byzantium=HRE
This is just wrong, though.

See

>succesfully wins a civil war against the sitting emperor
>brutal war between him and persians that lasts the better part of a decade only ended by a brilliant maneuver and political intrigue
>bunch of sandniggers rush in after everything is depeleted and your armies are exhausted

Poor bastard.

And then Mudhammad had the nerve to claim he converted the Emperor by a written letter from him. Im pretty sure Muslims still believe that.

>married a whore
>adopted her bastards
>made her co-ruler
should be played by Louis CK desu

>tfw you will never watch a scene with Heraclius triumphantly restoring the Holy Cross in Jerusalem after the Persians stole it

>he actually believed Procopius

Are you for real?

>Procopius
He was so biased against Justinian he only told the truth.

Wow, so Justinian was a literal demon who never slept and walked around at night without a head!
