Why historical accuracy matters:
Saw this film again today, and was quite astonished to realize it had first been released 24 years ago!
It's aged well for two reasons, one of which is that it's a good film, and the other is because they got the period detail right and there are no distracting anachronisms to date it. And that's why filmmakers should always pay attention to historical details and get them right, so that in 20-30-50 years people will still be enjoying the films and not sniggering at the 90s haircuts.
