That actually sounds like utter tripe. That's what people said about Braveheart too, and its the sign of directors and critcis who haven't read books on the subject past the middle-school level.
Yeah, whatever...
I go to movies to be entertained, not to be educated.
Right, which is why I find it funny the critic treated it like a history lesson. Like I said, it should have just been marketted as an ooga booga movie, not "This is how it really was like." The former is about entertainment, the latter is, in fact, pretending to be educational.
I would have almost preferred if the critic had just said "Dude, the slashing scenes were f****** awesome!" Or something like that. But if there's nothing I've learned from the past few Gibson movies, is that he does these things intending for them to be taken seriously, and that for some ridiculous reason, audiences do.
