Inspired

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2000)

Beautifully filmed, with so much attention to detail. Some criticize it as playing around too much with the facts, but I think it is a good balance of storytelling within a historical context. If some of the characters seem too good or too evil, it was done to engage the emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed the casting, the sets and the sheer physical authenticity of it. I came away from the movie feeling as if I had traveled back in time.
