William Tell

I don't understand why anyone would take on a subject if they weren't prepared to be historically accurate.

Even though I've only been able to see the trailer so far, one thing was clear: almost nothing about this film is historically accurate. The clothes, the armour, some of the weapons, the shields - a disaster. Why didn't they at least consult a historian who knows a lot about the period? And if they had such an advisor, why didn't they listen to him? Furthermore, the language has nothing whatsoever to do with the era depicted and sounds more like bad dialogue in a fantasy role-playing game.

Furthermore, I feel that this film is absolutely disrespectful in its treatment of Swiss history, and every Swiss person will throw up their hands in disgust, as will every historian who knows even a little about the Middle Ages.

Perhaps acceptable as a fantasy film, but not as a film that deals with the national legend of a people. I very much hope that we will be spared a sequel to this film.
