Some probably recall the great classic movie the Four Feathers, here is a 2003 remake of the original. I watched this with my family and while it was really good, I just thought it lacked a lot compared to the original monochrome movie.
Because of scheduling, we had to break the movie into two parts. We chose the worst spot to stop—right after the battle. Doing this gave us the remaining boring portion of the movie.
I expect the Four Feathers to show the great lengths to which Harry went in order to return the four white feathers. Instead, I was left at the end trying to recall when and where Harry returned the feathers.
I think one of the best parts of the original film was when Harry had a mark hot-branded into his forehead so that he would appear as one who could not speak. After the painful process, a man in the room said, "You are a brave man." But there was nothing like this in the new version.
The music was beautiful at times, and agonizing at others while the muslim voice or voices rang out.
If you decide to get the movie, definitely watch it in one sitting.
