An almost-straight quote of the post I first commented. That post said that movies don't do justice to the time period, because everything is bastardized to make it appear flashy. What I meant to say was that movies that are not made to look "flashy" at least in some ways (of which you described some) are rather boring movies. Do you agree with me in this?

You wouldn't make a movie about peasants farming, why would you? Because it's not exactly a story worth telling, movies are about stories, stories that are interesting and can make a person feel different emotions thanks to the characters in them (Adam Sandler doesn't know about this) wether it is to make us laugh, to make us soil our armours, or to tug on our heart strings.
I know movies are about stories. I know stories are supposed to be interesting. I know stories are supposed to make us feel different emotions. I don't know where you have gotten the idea that I would want to make or watch a movie about peasants farming. I thought I said in a pretty straightforward manner that I don't want to see a movie about ordinary people doing ordinary things. Even if people in ancient times were rather ordinary, or even if they for the most part were doing ordinary things. That is what I meant with my Ironic statement about ordinary, boring people talking about ordinary, boring things.

Point is, you're accusing me of saying things I have never actually said, or at the very least meant. Also, you don't seem to understand the fact my first post in this thread was ironic and sarcastic.
