Historical Reenactments:

A CHOKE Photo Essay

 

In honor of Fox Searchlight's CHOKE and Victor Mancini's (Sam Rockwell) occupation as an historical interpreter at a colonial-era reenactment, we did a little searching on the Web for photos showing off the lighter side of the industry, a side also reflected in the movie. (Based on the best-selling book by Chuck Palahniuk.)

Share any photos you may have found as well! Just add them in the comments section at the bottom of this post!

This woman likes to wear her colonial outfit to Whole Foods. The other shoppers tend to give her a wide berth.

***

Were there really female redcoats? And wouldn't their outfits have more of a woman's touch?

***

This was taken at a reenactment of George Washington's birthday. I think the smiling man is meant to be Ben Franklin and thinks they're celebrating Ben Franklin's birthday.

***

Notice among the two guys in the foreground what looks to be a heavily ruffled woman's dress on the left and seersucker pants with red stripes on the right. Enough to make a Web editor weep.

***

There are loads of online catalogues where you can buy outfits to match whatever historical era you're jonesing to reenact, from colonial to Middle Ages and beyond. Ah, the magic of the Internets.

***

Not all historical interpreters enjoy their work.

***

Did England really make so many of its seniors fight on the front lines?

***

Somehow I pictured reenactments being more fun-loving.

***

These men are portraying dead redcoats.

***

I would never forgive my parents if they'd subjected me to this.

***

Their parents don't look much better, though judging by his cocksure stance Dad thinks he's lookin' F-I-N-E.

***

You don't have to limit yourself to reenactments of actual events -- fictional eras come in handy too, such as the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels. I wonder if the dog is portraying a dragon.

The end! For us, that is. If you have your own historical-reenactment-Kodak-moments you'd like to share though, please do! We encourage you to upload such gems to the comments section below.

He took a chance on a rooming house at Broadway and 101st Street and transformed it into the 126-room Broadway Hotel, which provided clean, affordable accommodations for those visiting New York. Hank Freid recognized early on that hotels could be fashionable and reasonably priced at thesame time, and he made it his mission to revolutionize the idea of a hostel-hotel.
