It turns out that Western war films had a running account model

Under the pampering of high-quality war films in the past ten years, I am very uncomfortable with the running account model, so I am very disappointed after watching this classic film, with a poor sense of rhythm and a loose structure...
From the abdication of Napoleon. It's also quite suitable to show the story and the heart of the protagonist, especially the several intense speeches and inner monologues of the lead actor are quite powerful, but the plot connection is not very good, after one paragraph is finished, the next paragraph will follow.
The director's biggest resource is that there is really a large army available, and there are high-quality cavalry among them, so with enough costumes and props will be wonderful. But the supporting character who was sitting on the car and wielding a knife to simulate riding a horse was very disgusting and diluted the visibility of the horse battle scene. Fortunately, the big scene is very powerful. For example, the footage of the French cavalry entering the British army formation is too shocking.
It is said that after Napoleon's restoration, he lost the first battle, which shows his arrogance. Although it is because the weaker the enemy is stronger, on the one hand, even if he wins, the contrast between the strong and the weak will intensify. Half of them are genuine British troops.

Waterloo quotes

  • Napoleon Bonaparte: [after the defeat of the Prussians at Ligny] The field of honor is never a pretty sight. Nevertheless, sixteen thousand Prussian dead; that's good news to slap on the walls in Paris, eh?

  • Gen. August Gneisenau: [to Blucher on Wellington's request to move in the direction of Waterloo] If Wellington runs to the coast, none of us will make it home to Berlin. I do not trust the English, nonetheless because I have served you before, sir...

    Field Marshal Gebhard von Blucher: [Disgusted with Gneisenau] I am seventy-two and a proud soldier. This sword is steel! I am too old to break it.

    Gen. August Gneisenau: Very well, I have ordered the retreat to Wavre. You may still co-operate with the Wellington, but God help us if he does not stand.
