Crusades is a 1995 historical documentary series presented by Terry Jones. It looked at The Crusades and used elements of black comedy. Prominent figures are depicted by actors wearing masks and costumes making to appear as living images in the style of their cultures. Emperor Alexios I, for example, appears as a Byzantine mosaic, while European and Muslim figures are brought to life by actors appearing in the style of medieval and near eastern miniatures. At times, production is deliberately anachronistic, such as showing the use of 1930s style newsreels by the Church to drum up mass support for the Crusades. 2601:602:CD82:5AD0:A8FE:6EC2:94F6:E709 (talk) 03:45, 16 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

This section says the series is controversial for relying on the 'outdated view' that the crusades were bad. Is such a view really outdated? To me it seems not. Firestar47 (talk) 09:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
