I think the main problem with hollywood though is that they believe the film going public is stupid,which is not the case,or that many studios do not want to put out the money to do historically accurate "niche" movies for little or no return on their investment

The bottom line is that people go to the theater to be entertained and to escape for a couple hours,not to be given history lessons.

The best case is when people go to see a movie like Gladiator,or The Patriot,or 300 that the movie actually gets them interested enough in the subject to learn more about it.
