I don't this is the place to discuss that internet post. Like many viral internet post, it does contains some facts – but not completely accurate. Therefore it seemed to me to be targeted to incite a political discussion rather than clarifying historical facts. Every real historian I have met is very meticulous and fastidious about the facts.
The movie – I agree with most of what has been noted in earlier posts. It is not a historical rendition or a theatrical masterpiece. However, as a pilot, I found it entertaining. I like action adventure movies and this is one. Probably best seen on the big screen than on TV – but I’ll get the dvd as well. The real value to society will be if the movie spurs people to research the history, discuss it and learn from it (not included in the text books when I was in school).
