Title: Great Adventure, Great Enertainment
Product review: Regardless of it's historical correctness, this film is entertaining and fun to watch and gives a glimpse of what life might have been like for the people of that time and place.As filmmaking goes, this is quite a feat. The sets, costumes and makeup alone are worthy of an award.My only nitpick would be the use of the phrase "He's f**ked" in the subtitles when the one native watches the other slowly die after being bit by a snake. It's a bit much and a cheap attempt at humor in an otherwise fine film. I don't mind the F word being used in movies, as long as it is the correct time and place, but that was really not smart on Mel's part. Totally inconsistant with the rest of the movie.
