This biopic movie was great. Antonio Banderas, Eion

This biopic movie was great. Antonio Banderas, Eion Bailey, Michael McKean, Alan Arkin, Jim Broadbent, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This true story about the making of the movie about The Life of Pancho Villa was dramatic, intense, and action-packed. It's about making an epic film about a legendary hero of Mexico. If you're a member of HBO Max, you should watch this movie sometime. It's worth watching.

It seems a bit goofy and childish, but

It seems a bit goofy and childish, but when I found he is almost correct from history point of view I dropped the jaw.

Absolutely an interesting story and a grand movie

Absolutely an interesting story and a grand movie - much because it says a lot about movies meant in the early days, and due to the costly production design with scenografic realism, and true locations and extras. However, as a story it still lacks some engagement and balance. Banderas' portayal of Pancho Villa gets animated and loses credibility. Some of the other characters are also on the verge to being parodies. Too bad - this could have become a classic.
