Fencing in Movie

[JLaRue]

Just rented a movie called "Sunshine". It's about a 3 hour movie that follows 3 generations of a family in Hungary from around 1900s thru 1950s. Ralph Fiennes stars as the grandfather/father/son. The "second generation" follows the father as he becomes national fencing champion (sabre) and Olympic fencing champion in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. The whole second part revolves around fencing. It's great! Overall the movie was interesting. Check it out.

dont know if i ve seen it, but many movies r weird while showing fencing (when u have a fencer eye). "Par l epee" (=by the sword ?) is full of mistakes ... and some fights r strange while showing fencing as a sport ...

anyway if u say so, i ll try to watch this one.

if u want great "sword fighting" in the "d'artagnant", "3 mousquetaires" way check out the french movie "Le Bossu" with "fabrice luchini, daniel auteuil and marie gilain" thats really a great adventure film in costume with great "1 vs all" bout (with rapiers !!! magnificent swords ! i love them ...)

ciao.

It's a great film, but an emotional roller-coaster. I was drained after seeing it

"Le Bossu" is that the one with Allen Delon ? I am abit confused ...was it the show with a swell disarm move as well ?

Been a while since I last saw the show so bear with me.

nah nah nah, "le bossu" is a very recent movie, maybe 97 or sthg, main actors r those that i said, alain delon isnt in it .... and in this GREAT MOVIE, theres a lethal move that finishes trough the head of the bad guy (btw the eyes)

u guys must see it ! and if u dont like it ! i ll be waiting for u behin the tour for a lethal duel... asking for reparation..

tchhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
