Maybe you have become too jaded in your old age. Compared to most of the crap that is offered today, this movie is a success. We can pick at every detail in a movie and find falt with them all. I think you clearly admit that you have some preconceived predudice that you are bringing to this movie, whats with the communist take by the way?

I wouldn't have spent toime discussing utter crap, as I value time in my old age, so I did enjoy parts of the film.--whats with the communist take by the way?
Did you notice the anti-French angle too? Clearly the producers had to have some beef with the French to put something like that in the movie. I wonder what it was...
I guess you missed European history of that period. France (Bonaparte) was a major threat to all, the germans wanted him dead, so did the austrians, the brits, et al.That's why the anti-french slant. That's how that boat's crew woulda felt back then.
I think Beethoven put it best in Wellington's Victory. Go listen to it.

I guess we all see what we want to see. You have
Interesting thoughts about the movie,but maybe more than is there. That"s what makes us all individuals.
