  I'm forever pissed at HBO for canceling 'Rome' because 'it cost too much to make'. Only for them to make an even more expensive fantasy series that died like a fart in the wind.

  I watched Come and See in a film class when I was completing my masters degree in European History.  Seeing that picture in a classroom was...something.  After it was over, the professor invited comments, but we all just got up and left, no one person saying a single word.  I agree that it is an amazing picture about the barbarism for the Eastern Front.

  "Come and See" is probably a must watch for people that are use to the glorified viewing of war. The movie has a level of dread and uneasiness that is hard to shake off days later

  One thing Master and Commander does that I have never seen in any other movie, is having sound move slower than light, at the start of the movie the French frigate is seen in the distance and you see the flashes of the cannon and then after a delay you hear the sound. It's also the only movie I've seen that has actors of the right age and diversity (as the navy at the time was actually very diverse), it's the only time I've heard mention the standard practice of loading more than one cannon ball in the gun at a time, having the cannons fly backwards when fired and using the correct terminology throughout the movie.

  "Downfall"...Not many have dared to portray Hitler in film beyond the portrait on the wall or desk. Having been done by the Germans themselves, lends it a potency that's difficult to explain, looking themselves in the mirror perhaps? At times you forget you're watching a movie and not in the room.  I'm sure you've seen it and perhaps considered it. If not, you must. You just earned another subscription.

  Glad your girlfriend convinced you to stick with it. As a history teacher myself, I can say your channel has been criminally underrated. I am glad to see it is starting to take off.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHS3GGWIsc&amp;t=515">8:35</a> the biggest giveaway is the constant movement of the camera,actual old movies were very restricted in what they could do with the camera,since most cameras of the silent era couldn’t even zoom in.

  &quot;Except for Ron Perlman; they really didn&apos;t have to change his appearance at all.&quot; Well, that must have been great for his self-esteem.

  Paul Bettany&apos;s response to the &quot;lesser of two weevils&quot; joke is my favourite line in Master and Commander.<br>&quot;He who would pun would pick a pocket!&quot;

  I&apos;ve heard people say that they wish they could fought fought in Vietnam and I tell them I wish I didn&apos;t. Nothing I knew prepared me for it and I lost so many friends in it. Hopefully some people can relate to this.
