As much as I sperg out about historical accuracy, why does this film constantly get shit on by historians? The screenwriter was on record saying, ""If it isn't in [certain historical facts], it doesn't mean we didn't know it ... What you use, in drama, is what plays. Shakespeare did the same." So what's the big deal?

But yes, it's Napoleon that's historically inaccurate

Its not lack of the accuracy, its the obvious Bush-era narrative

Have you heard of the People's Crusade? I mean, I don't like Muslims, but still.

It figures, but I can't really name any other movie that has represented the Crusades on such an epic scale. I may be wrong, but this one always come to mind.
