Hollywood doesn't make movies to please us. They make them to 1) make money, and 2) (optional) advance some ideological agenda. Historical accuracy isn't even on their list. If they don't accomplish the first, they don't repeat. :wink:
Fire rolling down hillsides is visually gripping. Remember Gladiator's opening battle scene? In a predominately blue-gray-green scene, yellow-red fire adds drama.
hock:
Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth was a fun read, but unlikely to be as dramatic an adventure story as what Centurion's trailer suggests.
We'll see. If Centurion employed some local re-enactors, it can't have been all bad--even if the movie stinks. A day out for our guys. :lol:
