   The two best films weren't technically films but mini series:   
      
   I., Claudius   
      
   HBO's Rome   
      
   HBO's Rome would have been epic, but the script was a   
   travesty. I mean, I get that they're following the lives of   
   fictional characters through historical events but they got   
   pretty much none of those historical events right.   
      
   One example (out of countless) that immediately springs   
   to mind is the death of Brutus... NOT EVEN CLOSE!   
      
   If his death was boring then try this:  Don't focus on it!   
   You're a writer. Write something else. Right something   
   that you think is interesting instead of misrepresenting   
   history.
