The movie \'Gladiator\' in Historical Perspective

[Carus Andiae]

Narukami,

You're on the money about Ridley Scott, in regards to that he could have done a better job. I think that when he goes into project such as Gladiator or kingdom of Heaven his minimum standard for authenticity for such things such as characters, events, clothing, weapons and armor may not be the greatest, but certainly the best today.

As far as Kingdom of Heaven in concerned, character and events authenticity is dreadful.
