We're growing up with a very illiterate bunch of children who have somehow been taught that film is fact when, in fact, it's invention. Hopefully, an historical film will inspire people to go and read about the history but in the end it is a work of fiction and selection. As for the armour itself, no it wasn't particularly comfortable.

When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.
