Its definitely interesting when you are watching it for the first time and I liked the chemistry between Crowe and Paul bettany, but I fail to see any deep meaning or emotion in it. It just feels like a neat glimpse into that era
I’m a sucker for high production value period pieces, wide establishing shots, atmospheric effects, and the formidable star power of Sir Paul Bettany.
I watch this shit every few years.
Ah yes, fidelity to empire regardless of cost, a virtue so splendid it’s never even been specifically condemned in the most significant war crimes tribunal in history
I like it overall. For some reason (no reason in particular) I ended up seeing it in theaters like 4 times when I went with different groups of people who were going, and I never really got bored of it. It’s one of those movies I will periodically rewatch.
Galleons are neat
