and yes, that's correct. Quite surprising considering what an epic production this was. I'm going to catch this again if for no other reason than to refresh my memory, vis a vis, the battle scenes. My recollection was they reeked of authenticity, similar to those in the opening scenes of City Of Life And Death (thank you Tinear for the reco). I also recall reading that the movie diverged from the book towards the end quite a bit. That surely must have been a choice made by the producers when weighing the resources they had to tell the story. I found the ending lacking and short but the journey to get there more than made up for this. BTW, that's my only real criticism of the series. Glad you're enjoying this the second time around.
