Mr. Ridley Scott is a practical man. Most , if not all English Men are a practical people. He is quite good when addressing current affairs of the World. It is totally wrong when the subject is the very far past, that his Roman Empire History and Middle age Europe. To be specific I consider Gladiator a failure. and Kingdom of Heaven a near-failure. They are both "movies for kids". I hope that this gentleman, will not be given financial support from the banks, to make more "historical action movies". There are many older good ones from the past like "Sparctacus" an "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". This is not an appraisal of Mr. Ridley Scott's over all work. He is a Great director and I like many of his movies, that deal with modern subjects. Just refrain to try "History" again. If Mr. Ridley Scott, attempts to do it again I think I have the right to say he is making the equivalent of "Propaganda" movies. For whom?. Maybe just Himself. Looks like he was not admitted to same public school.
