Actually...
I'm reading the Goldsworthy bio of Caesar right now and like it very much, but then I also enjoyed Rubicon.
Perhaps it is a bit like someone watching the mini-series of Shogun, and in seeking out more "samurai" films encounters Kurosawa's Seven Samurai or Inagaki's Chushingura and discovers the real art and magic of Japanese cinema.
Or...
Someone watching Gladiator and in seeking more films about ancient Rome discovers...
I think we are still waiting for a really great film about ancient Rome but we all agree that at least films like Gladiator often inspire viewers to seek out more and results in them discovering the world of Ancient History.
Perhaps we can say the same of Rubicon.
Just a thought... :roll:
