17 of 17 · most liked firstThe plot was adapted to the movies in France as early as 1906 under the title TERRIBLE ANGOISSE, which had a tragic ending a la Grand Guignol & with a happy ending as THE PHYSICIAN OF THE CASTLE in 1908. Film editing allowed the audience to see both the criminals approach and the concerned rescuer

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a movie called The Physician - not ten episodes - but close to three hours. The Black Death isn't the central premise, but it makes an appearance. I read the book (Noah Gordon) a long time ago. The movie is a decent adaptation.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve had to do most of the work via early film viewing and research. Feature film is obviously bunk but cross-cutting for suspense was lifted from French cinema like The Physician of the Castle, closeups were pioneered by George Albert Smith in Seen Through a Telescope, etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →Usually, when people make this argument, they are talking about The Lonely Villa, which was a ripoff of the French film The Physician of the Castle.

positive · AI labelView post →It was a wonderful journey editing this film together with Philipp Stölzl. An epic adventure about standing together and the courage to keep believing in the good. THE PHYSICIAN II / DER MEDICUS 2 In cinemas from December 25th. Best experienced in the English original, if you can.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the film, "The Physician," religion is triumphant even though its advocates diminish its credibility by over-reaching on to progress in medieval medical science in a Persian kingdom. In going too far, religion can lose credibility. thewordenreport-film.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Why would you watch a YouTube essay when you can watch movies films and see it for yourself? His 1914 ad claims the closeup (edited closeups were pioneered in 1900 by George Albert Smith, 8 years before Griffith made a movie) Sustained suspense he lifted from THE PHYSICIAN OF THE CASTLE (1908)

I read the book, back in the days when I read books, and the film stays pretty close to the nature of the source material. Good cast. #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a good movie, it entertains its audience well, but it's riddled with small historical errors that could easily have been corrected. Films about medieval times are always nice to watch, especially for me, who have a great affection for this historical period, about which I did a specialization as a historian. Unfortunately, and as happens regularly, this movie is full of mistakes. The script is quite good, from an entertainment point of view: an English orphan who is raised and trained by…
