[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 2218495, member: 7883"] I guess that's the crux of the matter. I can appreciate if the movie is cool..it might not be 100% historically accurate. My main concern is what I see in things like that article you just posted, where the writer evidently didn't have a firm grasp of history.....I guess the danger to changing the history in the movie is that somebody could leave there with an incorrect understanding of what actually happened, who started what, etc. etc. etc. But, I think anybody would have to be foolish to expect truth out of Hollywood in any case.....I've seen very few "historical" films that were very historically accurate. Especially, unfortunately, those made by Hollywood as opposed to independent or foreign film companies. I'm looking forward to seeing the film.....just hope it's not *too* distorted that it makes it hard to watch. But the whole idea of a gritty movie with good costumes, special effects, interesting story, etc., and good or decent acting, about the medieval ages....I'm all for that :) Banshee [/QUOTE]
