Has anyone seen this movie? I did yesterday. Disappointing. No depth at
all.

I don't know what you were looking for. I found lots of interesting
details. A couple of examples:


Stu'ns'ls being set by two totally different methods. Were these
French and English practice?

An amputation carried out with "original instruments." The tools look
exactly like those in the _Chirurgie_ section of the _Encyclopedie_ of
Diderot and D'Alembert.

There are other things to knock. The MOB scene is absurdly sentimental
and unrealistic.

But, There is lots of entertaining action-- enough so I will go back
and see it again. I want to check the cello and violin for period
detail. I think they must have been OK or I would have been
uncomfortable, but I can't recall exactly.
