That was an insult? 
I thought it was funny that you were praising its historical accuracy when right on the same page someone had already posted that image, which is an historical inaccuracy. Unless you didn't know that was inaccurate and thought I was giving your post a thumbs down.
I did know. I actually received flak for saying that the whole thumbs-up/down thing was always wrong in movies in my 7th Grade History class and my teacher punished me.
Although maybe you were talking about the production values and not the nuts and bolts, since pretty much all the characters either didn't exist or existed in a very different way than presented in the movie.
The nuts and bolts thing. The way that theme, acting, the general look of the film produced something that felt very real. As opposed to something distinguished mentally-challenged like Troy, where characters are flying through the air doing ninja stabs, and acting so stoic I wanted to throw up. Yeah, sorry I wasn't more detailed.
