“Master And Commander : The Far Side of the World” is historically accurate throughout. I liked that the film makers didn’t shy away from the brutality of the Captain.
“Waterloo” is more fictionalized, but the battle scenes are spot on. Back in the day, the USSR trained thousands of Red Army troops in authentic cavalry, artillery, and infantry tactics for ‘War And Peace.’ Hollywood used those troops, and built an outdoor set that included three miles of road.
Two movies you might enjoy.

I do like Master and Commander. Will have to give Waterloo a watch. Thank you. :)
Enjoy!
