...as Scott points out, history is conjecture anyway. "There's 300 years of perception and a mass of material so what you do is you glean through a lot of it and form your own opinion."

I cannot say I admire Scott's thesis but I will not miss this movie. He's a helluva a movie maker. Alien and Gladiator assured his place in film history. His movies are really good. Did he do Black Hawn Down as well? I googled it and yep,you bet. Like his politics or hate them, he delivers the action goods in a huge way.
