Going back to past film masterpieces, I know this has been a fav of guys, but years ago I couldn't appreciate it as much as now. It offers a look into the past, something I've been thinking about much lately. It shows some of our dark past in Europe, how hard times were. It shows even white people once lived next to nature with only bow and arrow and spear.
It shows what the English were, which helps to realize what they became as it was English people who founded America. And I never realized that the Scots were some of the first "freedom fighters" in Europe. What a story!
