I was also going to add: 'I Captured a U-Boat', anyone?
One thing you missed about
U-571 (actually a couple things), the clothing while on operation tended to be very informal and virtually no-one wore uniform except perhaps their cap, and the size... that command centre was fucking massive compared to a real U-boat's...
Anyway, most of the crap that I wanted to say has been mentioned, so:
Gladiator - I'd reel off all the pet-peeves I have with this film, but it'd take all day, soooo
1. his name, it's said in the wrong order or whoever came up with it didn't do any research on Latin naming conventions
2. opening battle scene soundtrack... listen carefully, hear the Zulus!
3. allusions to a return of the Republic
4. Lucius died in infancy, IIRC, and Commodus may have been capricious, but he wasn't a deviant
5. Colosseum (reference & size)
6. Stirrups...?!?! (actually, the lack of stirrups in
Alexander is one of the few good things about it...)
7. Use of artillery on the battlefield... and in a forest...
That'll do for now, I think...
But one of the biggest annoyances I have with films about WWII is the number of times tanks are subbed out for fucking M60s...
