Just made some minor corrections with [].
I don't think this is a good paper to use for research because it is bias. Films are an interperation of a story through the directors mind. It would have beeen good, if the writer didn't identity himself as a medieval geek and critize the film for not being relevant with history. history is never same as it is protrayed in film. Madden focus to much on What the film should have been, then what the film truely is; an illusion of the directors mind.
