Misleading and a waste of time

I have read many books and articles from both the Israeli and Arab Sides, but I have never seen a movie in my life with such an extraordinary historical mistakes. In fact they are not just mistakes, they are totally misleading with wrong Information. This movie is a piece of sh%% . I think the movie editor and director were illiterate or drunk! The movie was unprofessional with an extremely poor production . I honestly kept laughing on how ignorant the director was "un-educated" The Movie focused on insignificant details and left the Important things. Wrong costumes , wrong flags , wrong scenes , does any student in any university in the world wears a hate :):):) !!!. I kept laughing on how the director was unprofessional . It is rubbish and a waste of time. The Movie proved only one thing in my mind " Of how big is the miscommunication and misunderstanding between the west and the East specifically the middle east" .
