i've always found movies more enjoyable in groups that contextualize and lead on together with their themes. one day i decided i would create the largest head canon playlist of movies possible with as much consistant world building between them as possible. so after several months of research, watching films, and writing the explanations for how they connect and organising them together i have come up with the series of images for your enjoyment
the series stretches from the beginning of reality, follows our prehistory, mediaval times, renaissance, all the way to modern times and continues going into the future as far as possibly depicted on screen.
enjoy the list or just laugh at my ridiculous autism as i dump the entire list. whatever floats your boat
quite literally years, started gradually doing this on and off since 2015 so there's probably a few recent releases that could fit in here. its all pretty rough you'll definitely notice some silly spelling errors

you should put this on an imgur gallery instead of dumping it here it would be easier to save that way

Where's rome and i, claudius?
Lincoln Jenkins
Saving every image—great work, op
Aaron Kelly
more then likely will at the end of the thread
Rome as in the HBO series? i somewhat avoided adding tv shows and instead focued on films, the later end of the series gets a bit more flexible with adding supplementary material (think the trailer featurettes from Blade Runner or the Animatrix shorts) but i wanted the majority of the entries to be feature length

Is the notion that there are off-world colonies that are doing fine / part of some sort of galactic thing in a fifth element sense, but like on earth gets fucked / stuck in the matrix after the machine uprising? Does matrix lore ever suggest that? Not that it'd need to, but just curious.

Where's Seven Samurai (1586, takes place during upheavals of Sengoku Period)
Christian Martin
nvm you address this
Grayson Watson
good point, i wanted to include the other Kurasawa films aswell like Yojimbo but i thought Japan was getting a decent amount of exposure already as it continues to be a major set piece in most eras
Jose Hall

Ian Jackson
and thats us. now all we need is a decent film covering the 40k great crusade, Horus Heresy and contemporary settings and it will be complete
Angel Jenkins
I'm not gonna read this but this is largely true, the title at least.
we don't know how the past looked. we can only assume. the past that is depicted on film is not accurate. it's filled with anachronisms. And I'm not talking about the look ("this thing did not exist back then"). They psychological aspect, how people behave, how people talk etc Every movie is like this. So yeah, human history depicted as myth in film is an accurate statement.
Aaron Myers
this level of autism isn't even laughable, it's awe-inspiring
Aaron White
very cool
Angel Wood
thanks for finding the point of it all. What is history but a myth agreed upon?
James Morgan
>TDKR is included Lmao
Jokes aside pretty solid list user. I'll probably swapped Exodus with Prince of Egypt or The Ten Commandments though.
Aiden Hernandez
oh i like you
you're similar enough and we seem to have a lot of overlap in taste, interests, and even contextual approach vectors, but i never could have imagined this was even possible, or even if i did, followed through and done it so well.
seeing shit like this is a good reminder that i am not special or "the one". you are doing gods work autistanon.
i hope you feel free, you've earned it.
but you will find something else and do more, and always get more than what you bargained for. it never ends.
Daniel Nelson
the actual highest effort post ever made on this board, i'm proud of you
Mason Flores
epic thread
Luke Ward
Sorry dude but I'm sure you'll need to work on your 2010s graphs as Meme Magic takes over the world.
Ryder Wright
creed and skyfall cannot exist within the same universe: adonis and rocky watch the movie on tv at one point.
Evan Nguyen
theres probably a few examples of this i haven't picked up on but its really a minor detail considering some of the larger mental gymnastics i had to pull to get everything to flow
Ryan Ramirez
Good thread, I'm keeping this tab open and I'm not a robot
Eli Bennett
You're amazing OP
Austin Hall
cheapened Tolkien myth, Iassume you're only doing this so you can include the LoTR films in your list. Thousands of years of events just blown through or ignored...
I'll read the rest but this is a really bad start
Carter Gray
Is William Wallace the ancestor of Niander Wallace?
Kayden Bailey
actually i included the Tolkien Myth because Tolkien intended his universe to be read as a prehistory of Earth. it has several parallels to contemporary religious and mythic symbolism so i included it as a sort of stand if for a time before time. i thought it led nicely into the Noah arc which is depicted by aronofsky as a post apocalyptic society of scavengers on a dead world
Jayden Thompson
I love you
Ethan Morgan
>ridley scott marathon
why would you do that to yourself? Literally only 3 good movies
Eli Thompson
This is genuinely cool as hell, OP
Hunter Martin
kek.
originally i was going to mix a list of Scott Cameron and Scorsese for a weekend and than just expanded on it.
Zachary Sullivan
wtf?
Aiden Rivera
lol two chapters for the US civil war. Most overrated conflict in world history. Noone gives a shit but burgers...
Asher Taylor
I remember a time when we would have said you just smoked a lot of weed to come up with these kind of overreaching conglomerations instead of calling it autism. Its still a lot of fun either way.
lel, i'm surprised you didn't catch on I was Australian given i gave Australian war movies probably more exposure then needed
Jose Robinson
could someone do a tl;dr here, idk wtf is going on right now.
Matthew Johnson
I stopped reading further after the civil war chapters.
Nolan Perez
tl;dr list of historical movies women will never understand followed by a dystopian depiction of a future as seen by Phillip K Dick and Dan Obannon
John Diaz
Have you ever thought to yourself "haha what if these two movies were connected?" because they shared similar themes, aesthetic, etc?
Now imagine taking that too far.
Brandon Cooper
Off the scale levels of autism have been harnessed and used for something good instead of memes and it's glorious
Cooper Bailey
Ok, I read through the whole list, I think I was wrong about what you were going for with this.
I'm not sure I completely agree with the neo-luddite idea of evil and invention going hand in hand, but I agree that many films have themes like it and the way you put them all together in a way that makes sense is impressive. Must have taken ages.
Also, you could have just dropped the Tolkien stuff and just gone with the standard Paradise Lost backdrop.
Aaron Perez
>alien vs predator
fucking lmao this is so out of place
Jonathan Rivera
What's with all the nig shit?
Liam Sanders
in my view technology is less about direct gizmos and gadgets and more about direction of large masses. the printing press has done more to shape society then any one bullet or beheading has. it can be a powerful tool to change the face of the human condition, and in the wrong hands can lead to humanity becoming cattle, their emotions decided for them by their social media feed, the paths they trod literally paved for them by their masters.
Tolkien saw the same way and was why he hated windmills lel. i tried to capture what he exactly feared and depicted that by humanity gradually degrading in its freedom, its soul and later the very enviroment around them begins to crumble as the people controlling the technology do so to tighten their grasp over common men

Can you post your email, or probably your blog
Jordan Thompson
>ending humanity with Dune
love you OP, reading the books I had this feeling of 'this is the conclusion of humanity' and you putting that there satisfied my autistic needs.
Brayden Foster
ty for this offering bro
Colton Russell
Good thread. A good break from all the memers and capeshitters
