Movies are fiction. They are not documentaries, they are not meant to be educational, and they are not made primarily for viewing by historic reenactors. In many, much of the history itself is, at best, speculation. I don't watch movies for the costumes. I watch them to see whether it's good drama and looking for things to criticize just spoils the drama. When I want solid information I look elsewhere. And really, some of the Facebook discussions sound just like catty little junior-high girls gleefully tearing down each other's clothes.
