Ridley Scott does not prioritize historical accuracy in his films, which has led to criticism from historians regarding his artistic liberties, especially in 'Gladiator II'.
Scott famously shrugged off criticism on historical inaccuracies, urging historians to lighten up, as he sees movie-making as entertainment rather than a history lesson.
Despite the pushback, audiences may still find enjoyment in the spectacle of Scott's films, focusing on entertainment rather than accurate historical representation.
Chris Epplett emphasizes the complexity of Roman history and the importance of understanding its context, even when discussing modern interpretations in films like Gladiator II.
