Rating: 5.0
Forget the analysis!
Many of the other reviews seem to be stuck on analyzing the metaphor or historical meaning of this film. I say, ignore them. This is a brilliant work or historical fiction, with excellent acting, a decent plot, engaging characters and incredible spectacle. Those factors make up a completely enjoyable film which sucks you in and leaves you wanting more at the end. Period. It's beautiful to watch and has a good story to boot, and that is more than enough for me.
