Its a odd historical piece...without alot of truth. It's rentable...but in terms of people going out to buy it...its just not worth it. I will guess that they at least make their investment back...but in terms of real profit...this is a zero.

IMO, I don't think it's a historical peice at all.

It's more like a period drama, since they threw out all the history that means anything in favor of making their idiotic atheistic statement.

Steyn is a master swordsman, deftly slicing the Ludicrous to shreds. He's dead on target with this ridiculous Hollywood practice of transporting "progressivism" back into ages when they would have laughed themselves silly at the stupidity that it is and has always been, if they could even understand this braindead philosophy in the first place.

Reminds me of a Shakespeare play I saw when I first got to the Bay area, put on by local community college students. Although the dialog was faithful to the word, I couldn't help but hearing, "Perchance, dude, I can catch some Z's and snag a dream or two."

‘I put no stock in religion.’ Eight centuries ago,
Eight centuries ago, people didn't put stock in religion, they put stock in god. Religion wasn't a category --- like on a directory of a mall, where the shoe stores are grouped together, and the restaurants --- but what people were. Everyone was "religious". God was an underlying assumption of life that virtually everyone accepted, the best, the worst, and the vast middle. For the hollyweirds to miss the point of history so completely...well, that's what hollyweirds do... miss the point.

"Perchance, dude, I can catch some Z's and snag a dream or two."

LOL, reminds me of Keanu Reeves in Dracula. In my ears his soliloquy sounded like "I know that I am doomed, but still, it has been a most excellent Transylvanian adventure."
