%X Cinema has been concerned with history from its earlier days. Historical events and people have become popular subjects for film directors. The inclusion of historical representations in cinema has been of interest to academic historians over time and some have collaborated with filmmakers in various ways, such as consulting for authenticity, being expert guests in documentaries, writing academic film reviews, and conducting related research. This dialogue between historians and cinematographers generated the questions ¡°What is a historical film?¡±, ¡°What is the relationship or difference between written history and cinematic history?¡±, and ¡°If written history is not a mirror but a construction, then what is the relation between reality and filmed history?¡± Just as it is possible to divide written history into a number of categories, filmed history can be seen as ¡°history as drama,¡± ¡°history as anti-drama,¡± ¡°unheroic history,¡± ¡°history as an exhibition,¡± ¡°history as an article,¡± ¡°oral history,¡± ¡°post-modern history,¡± and so on. However, in this article, historical representations in cinema are reduced to three broad categories, ¡°history as drama,¡± ¡°history as a document,¡± and ¡°history as an experiment.¡± ¡°History as drama¡± is created in the film by dramatization of real or fictional characters in historical settings. ¡°History as a document¡± is the representation of various films, photographs, works, tables, graphics, newspa-per and magazine clippings on screen in the presence of narrators, witnesses, or experts. ¡°History as an experiment¡± is a combination of both, embodying both dramatic and documentary characteristics. In each of these three categories, history is reshaped by cinematographic methods, techniques, and aesthetic decisions, and historical reality undergoes a cinematic reconstruction
