This abstract also touches upon the ways in which cinema shapes and reshapes our understanding of history, influencing societal perceptions and interpretations of past events altering the public perception. Additionally, it examines the power dynamics inherent in the representation of historical cinema, and how filmmakers manipulate and use these complexities in their storytelling.
