I've trained my wife too well since she asked me after the movie if cavalry
really would be sent on a long outflanking manuveur through the woods and if
there was any reason to use fire except cinematic. Great opening sequence,
though. :-)
And of course, there was the absolute trashing of history, but all in all I
enjoyed it for what it was. Ridley Scott's artist's eye was magnificent as
always.
Gates of Fire is the movie I'm looking forward to - hopefully we will finally
have a battle that doesn't degenrate into a mob scene.
