Yeah, but Lee, I've heard many times Hollywood directors like Ridley Scott say they're not there to educate. Movies are not documentaries. They are telling stories, for entertainment only. It HAS to be taken as such.<br>
<br>
This will never change. Why? Because directors/story writers and the like are artistic. Not Historians. If Mike Bishop had a 100 million dollar budget and was the director, things would be different. You see this on a smaller scale on shows like Discovery channel and so forth. Until then, my advice is don't see these types of movies, or take them with a bag of salt. Otherwise you're just wasting your money, and energy getting all worked up about it. <p>Magnus/Matt<br>
