Epic movies are probably really hard to make

Boring. It seems that after watching the super-long National Geography, the frequently used overhead shots and blue planet shots have become Discovery. The model image of Gao Daquan makes the protagonist Hypatia very unflattering. He is obviously a polytheist, but he has become a fearless atheist. Neither discussing that period of history nor going deep into the inner world of scientists is just a glimpse, a good subject was wasted on the relationship between the sexes. Not as good as Oliver Stoned's Alexander.

Hypatia: Ever since Plato, all of them - Aristarchus, Hipparchus, Ptolemy - they have all, all, all tried to reconcile their observations with circular orbits. But what if another shape is hiding in the heavens?
Davus: Another shape? Lady, there is no shape more pure than the circle; you taught us that.
Hypatia: I know, I know, but suppose - just suppose! - the purity of the circle has blinded us from seeing anything beyond it! I must begin all over with new eyes. I must rethink everything!... What if we dared to look at the world just as it is. Let us shed for a moment every preconceived idea - what shape would it show us?

Davus: I was forgiven but now I can't forgive.
Ammonius: Forgive? Who the Jews?
Davus: Well Jesus pardoned them on the cross.
