      Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood and Kingdom of Heaven are movies that get a lot of criticism for not being very historically accurate. Though I loved KOH I thought Robin Hood was quite boring. The reporter knew exactly what he was doing throwing a dig saying this movie is far more realistic. Ridley knew what the reporter was doing and was not playing the game, this is why the reporter was NOT shocked by Scott’s reaction and was kinda expecting it.

      @@scottf5791 DId he know or not. Even if he calls some of his movie historically inaccurate, that's not a reason to insult a person publicly this way. Calling a movie historically inaccurate does not mean the movie is bad and does not belittle directors talent at all. Not all movies must be accurate historically. Ridley Scott acted like an idiot here and there is no need to justify this.

    The problem was the marketting. Here in Canada, they kept pushing the actors' names in the advertisments, but never told audiences what the story was about. So no one wanted to see it. Hollywood needs to realize that people don't see a film because of the stars. We want to see a good film because the story looks interesting.

He was saying the other films were good but in his opinion this one was more real or whatever. The interviewer probably gave the film itself more praise than it really deserved. If ridley can't even handle a compliment without being a complete a total tool than maybe have one of his producers or a writer handle press for the film.

      More like sabotaged. West Side Story, Nightmare Alley and the French Dispatch were all dumped in theatres with barely any notice or marketing. What the Last Duel has in common with the other three movies I mentioned is that they were all fox movies that were in production when Disney bought Fox. Disney buying Fox was all about eliminating a competitor. Disney has a specific brand and they don't want to be making risky movies that don't fit the brand. Why would they when they can use the employees at fox to make sure fire money makers based on the already established ips? I bet you a million euros that you will see more ads for Aladdin 2 (live action sequel), the live action Snow White, the 5th Indianna Jones, the live action Lion King sequel and the live action Little Mermaid than you will for any of these movies.

      Most of the Italians are going to see the movie dubbed, so that's not a major problem for them, or they're not gonna see it as a joke.

I think Ridley has been on the defensive over the last 5-10 year from people just giving him flack about his directing lately and did not see it as a language thing or not being an insult, but a comparison between similar period based films where one is less fantasy than the other.

    I’ll be honest, he’s made some really great films but he’s also made a lot of mediocre ones as well.

    Just finished watching, “The Last Duel.” I thought the movie looked great and I think this was an honest mistake by the interviewer citing the language barrier. I think Ridley took offense to it, because he got a lot of hate for Exodus: Gods and Kings for being “whitewashed” and not being “realistic,” which he seemed to be hurt by. So, I think when the interviewer claimed this movie felt more realistic than some of R.S. other films, he meant cinematography wise, it was shot very well and the practical effects and light use of cgi were executed with great result. I think Ridley may have jumped the gun and associated the interviewer’s comments with a negative connotation and more than likely viewed it from a lens of criticism.

So, I don't think he was trying to tear down his previous work, he was simple paying him a compliment. Now, i don't really think the film deserves that sort of praise in the first place, but to each his own i guess. So, if ridley is gonna be offended by something as simple as a compliment then get someone else to handle press for tge film. He never really has ever seemed like he enjoys promoting the film, or talking about it, which by the way is part of your job as director. And cursing someone out just trying to compliment you is not the way to convince people that they should see this film.
