i mean... you are entitled to your position of course
the point of movie making is ENTERTAINMENT
these movies arent given as accurate, historical accounts
just as biographical movies like la bamba make minor changes for the sake of a movie, historical battles and societies arent somehow sacred and off limits... why the fuck would they kill off brad pitt before the trojan horse? you don't kill your star before the end! far more people woulda been far more pissed had this happened in the name of preserving the historical account (which could have been embelished anyways).. movies are adaptations, not direct reflections

these stories arent being "bastardized"
you are simply on some "HOW DARE THEY SHOW A PICTURE OF THE PROHPET MUHAMMED???!??!?!"

lighten up, it's just a movie, it's perfectly ok to use historical qccounts as background fodder for movies
really, it is
