I decided to watch it only due to my curiosity because I lived my whole life in Smolensk (where action takes place).It's normal, that fable should not be 100 % historically correct. But, not the way they did it, truth just turned inside out. And in the end there is storyteller voice that narrates future events like it all was complete truth. Unfortunately, can't give examples from story because it would be spoilers.In the rest: they portray fortress like it looks now, not like it should look four centuries back (it indicates level of laziness and incompetence of creators); city is definitely not even close to what should looks like Smolensk that times. Second, instead of moving to reconciliation with polands, movie portrays Sigismund III, king of Polish–Lithuanian (Lithuanian. Hey, creators!) Commonwealth, like a retard. Shame. However, polands do such things too (for example, Katyn movie is a silly profanation. No, I don't try to deny war crimes of SU). It's just a pity, both russians and polands continue to do same stuff in order to make each other look like bad guys. Yes, I agree with fact propaganda is have to be, but it should be healthy, patriotic, not to breed hate amongst nations.And the most sad thing this politic s*** pours out onto children heads.Could be a great family movie, because visuals are quite good.
