Love Ridley Scott's films, but have to say that is a sadly glorious mess. So many characters and situations randomly thrown at the screen, I felt I understood the period of history and man less than when I went in. Realistically, this should have been a series.

So to compensate I'm watching Waterloo (1970) with the amazing Rod Steiger.

That was awesome. Also put me onto the lavish 2016 BBC production of War and Peace, which also has pretty decent representation of battles, in terms of the grand view and individual bloodshed.
