I also sit through that scene every time, even though SORELY tempted to run and take care of some business. One reason I watch it is le Generale de Montcalm's EYES! Good heavens, such a piercing stare! He fascinates me, the way he delivers his lines, those LOOKS. I enjoy the exchange between the two men.
(Hey, anybody notice the similarity in voice between Capt. Bougainville and Herve Villachaize in Fantasy Island?)
Sorry I haven't focused on your gallant efforts to withstand the heat and humidity and still look dutiful and interested, Soldier #2!!! --If I knew where to look, I'd check it out!
So, in reality way back in the 18th century, such soldiers must have had to endure similar torture in the summer in America, huh? With one major difference: they didn't have to repeat the same action a billion times!
