Cromwell was more English than British. Britain did not exist during Cromwells time. The American revolution stemmed from people who were pro cromwell and let's not forget that the film was Produced and Financed by Americans, someone in the USA really did dig this guy.

To be honest I don't think its the norm for a teacher to be spouting such subjectivity to a class of people trying to learn a piece of history.
Teachers are suppose to teach facts and be as objective as possible and let the student think & decide for himself whether Cromwell was pro/anti anything -

I loved this movie! I think it's one of the best movies ever made. I am watching it right now, and seriously thinking of buying it. Like every historical film, it has its drawbacks and dry momentsbut what makes the film so great is that it brings to attention the life of a figure whose importance is often downplayed, especially in American classes.
Oliver Cromwell and Charles I are both very intriguing characters in British history, and I know at least Crommie had some involvement with the United States, so it was interesting in the least to learn about this figure. And the historical inaccuracies will only encourage people to learn about the real man, not the one played so ingeniously by Richard Harris. I loved Alec Guinness's performance too.
Of course, it wasn't as action-packed as Dawn of the Dead (awesome film, by the way, and another one of the best movies ever made), but I still love it and hope to soon add it to my collection.
