Hello Bernard,
The other day I watched the 1970 film ‘Waterloo’ and whilst I was impressed in many ways, I was mostly underwhelmed. Your account of Waterloo and the Sharpe series have spoilt me so I’m struggling to imagine any film successfully portraying what makes Napoleonic warfare so interesting and so horrific at times. However, part of me still wants a modern, big budget film set in this period of warfare in the hope that it sparks wider interest.
With the money in the film industry being where it is, do you think it will happen? If so, could it ever do it justice?
Looking forward to The Last Kingdom on TV :)
Best regards,
Matt
