Ridley Scott needs to “get a life.”
It’s not just historically inaccurate - it historic TRASH.
They have a cuck-boy Napoleon (30 years older than he was) shooting the.tops off Pyramids.
Nobody is looking for historical accuracy in these kind of movies. We know these are all about turning the story into a 3 act movie structure, they are at best “inspired” by real events. But since life just doesn’t follow the 3 act structure they’re doomed to be inaccurate. The good news is though that they often inspire new documentaries, or meta documentaries that pull from other documentaries. Especially in this modern world with all the streaming options. So then people who enjoyed the movie and want to learn the reality of it can go watch those. And who knows, maybe they even inspire the next generation of scholars on the subject.
