I have to point this out - near the end please notice that there is an extremely fake rock that Nathaniel (AKA DDL) pushes off of in his hurry to stop his brother from attacking Magwa and company. It shakes but Daniel Day Lewis pays no mind - he can make rocks shake like that. | I have to point this out - near the end please notice that there is an extremely fake rock that Nathaniel (AKA DDL) pushes off of in his hurry to stop his brother from attacking Magwa and company.

| − | Overall, now I'm not sure if this is applicable to the discussion or not, but in my opinion this is the type of movie that causes people to stop watching historical films. Yes, there were a lot of good things about it when it came to accuracy, but it was just so dull throughout. Now, "Pocahontas" may have been one of the least accurate movies ever created, but it had a more interesting (and I use that word loosely) storyline. Do we think that there is a way to balance the two out? Is it possible to have a historical movie that is both relatively accurate and entertaining? (Now, I could be alone in my critique of the movie because I had heard excellent reviews about it but I'm sorry, I don't think you could get me to sit and watch it again.) -Kelly Wuyscik | + | Overall, now I'm not sure if this is applicable to the discussion or not, but in my opinion this is the type of movie that causes people to stop watching historical films.

I understand that it may also be too early in the semester to judge since we're only on our second movie, but I suppose it is something to think about.
