Historical movies have always fascinated me. There is something soothing, something real about them. Unlike the modern sci-fi, fantasy movies, there is some solid element to them. Something we can cling onto, something we can call real with the base to it to rest on.
With that, added was the perfect screenplay. It's cherry on the top. The movie goes so smoothly without even a single moment of boredom. That's an impressive feat for a 3 hours movie, unlike the modern 1.5 hr movies which have a lot of boring moments. The landscapes of Europe were a treat to the eyes.
Like other classics this one too had an amazing characteristic. Every detail and every character was indispensable and so closely interconnected. That's the beauty of a well written story and script.
A must watch for the history lovers.
