It was but seemingly it was historically correct, that's what they used to do. It's the old argument about how much do you show in dramas/programmes etc. For instance is full nudity more sexy than none, just an impression. I don't thinks so, the old Brigitte Bardot films were very seductive but you never saw any of her "bits" One thing is certain, all this publicity will ensure a big audience next time

I have no problem with nudity - less than no problem really - but I find it hard to watch intense violence and cruelty, and will probably avoid it; and I definitely won't watch anything where animals get killed. I'd be straight on Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox were it not for that.

I'm with you Aubs.I have always been against the glorification of violence and thus never watch @godfather' type films. I feel it is necessary (particularly for the young) to be taught the rewards of good and the negativity of wrong.
The guys in the white hats should always win.......

But is it glorification, it actually happened like that apparently so is historically correct. Thankfully in our civilised world we have moved on and by showing and learning how it was may help to prevent it ever returning

Thankfully in our civilised world we have moved on and by showing and learning how it was may help to prevent it ever returning Actually, I agree with both of you: the violence in the Gunpowder thing should be shown, because it did happen. And in things like The Game of Thrones because people are like that (and it is based on English history as well). The Godfather is more difficult. I've never seen it and I feel I should because it is a work of art, but |i don't like gangster stuff. That's more because I don't like the feel of them, or the atmosphere. I love Gialli though, but they never feel real.

Any historical event should be shown and exposed Classic example being the Holocaust. Would anyone argue that should not have been exposed on the grounds that it was too awful?. We recently had a glimpse of the awfulness of the Irish potato famine shown in Victoria. These things happened, awful as they are they are part and parcel of our history
