Great movie, filled with fencing scenes. Or fighting scenes. More realistic than artistic, but still one of my faves.

Yes. This movie is very good! It is required viewing for members of our club. Not so much for the fighting/fencing scenes (which are numerous and very excellent) but because of the contrasting views of Honor. Honor is something that is losing emphasis in our sport (see letter in the latest issue of American Fencing) and that is very sad. I suppose I should make all the Moms and Dads watch it too.

Buy al meens, git it and wach it.
