Movie

This movie really didn't sit well with me at some parts. It painted a very different picture than what I read. First off, the whole telescope incident in the beginning really through me off. I knew he didn't invent the telescope, but the way the movie presented it he looked like a crook the way he took credit for it. i just didn't imagine Galileo doing something like that. However, the overall work seemed to be accurate enough. It just seemed to not go into the detail we are used to, and there were some inaccuracies, i.e. the daughter thing.

The one recurring part that confused me was the 3 choir kids. I just didn't get what was with them and why they were though. I know it was just part of the movie, but why 3 little kids singing. I don't know, it was just a really weird part of the movie.

Overall the whole thing seemed to work well, but many of the small or medium sized elements weren't so accurate. To us this matters because we have read a lot, but to others many would go unnoticed.
