Ten Most Historically Inaccurate Movies: Films That Make Your High School History Teacher Cry.
Obviously I had to read this, based on tag-line alone.
And let's face it, history is much more palatable with beautiful people. I don't really want to know what Queen Elizabeth really looked like astride a horse at age 52. I do prefer my Spartans in 'leather speedos' (great line!). William Wallace deserves his skirt-sporting, lady-romancing legacy to remain unblemished by 'truth.' And here in America we certainly reserve bragger's rights regarding our military record. Let's just consider our 'winning' the Battle of Guilford Court House an original version of 'Mission Accomplished.'
Lastly, props awarded to Mel Gibson for his astonishing representation on the list (involved in at least 30% of the films). It's official, Mel. When I want somebody to give history a makeover, I'm calling you.
[Oh, Hollywood.]
