Historical movies are a lie.

Whenever we see historical Hollywood movies set in Roman empire. The statues are plain white. Well when archeologist found those statues, They look white, so when movies about the Roman empire were made, The statues are white. Guess what, on a documentary I was watching last night, Archaeologist and forensic experts found out those statues are actually painted. They are very colorful during their prime. They look plain white now because the paint faded. I guess next movies about the Romans should try to be accurate now and paint the props. I cant find links about the documentary so this article will be my source instead. Do you prefer the plain white statues or the painted ones?
