charge of the light brigade

August 21 movie: Charge of the Light Brigade. After driving all night I spent most of the day on the 21st lying on my ass, napping and watching TV. This movie was a stirring, tragic tale of an ill-fated attempt by plucky Indian freedon fighters to reclaim their land from their British overlords. Well, not really. But as much as I try to set aside modern political sensibilities while watching old movies, I really can't get into a story that celebrates colonialism and demonizes its victims. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been so tired. Or maybe it would have pissed me off more. The charge was impressive in any case.
