fun fact: the duchess of Richmond's ball did take place but this waltz was not played (made for the movie). Also the ball was 3 days before the battle not the day before (taking into account the battles of ligny and quatre bras)

[@thepuffin4050]

This piece works great because it sounds like something that would play at a 19th century ball, but it also gives a feeling of impending doom, especially the way it was used with the thunderstorm and the cut to the advance of the French army. The window blows open with a strong gust of wind, and suddenly you get a feeling that something dreadful is approaching.

[@jcb5782]

I loved the scene when Wellington ordered all of the officers to the field. A calm atmosphere slowly turned into a slight chaotic one when the Prussian arrived all soaked and filthy, and then the doors to the garden opened and the wind rushed in. I could just feel, and really experience it. Still my favourite movie of all time.

[@CaruthersHodge]

This score is a subtle blend of sound, image and mood perfectly designed to warn and unnerve us. The haunting melody is sweetly sad and ominous. Certainly the film hopes it to be which is why a good amount of time is spent on it. We've seen Napoleon and his situation and now it's Wellington's turn, together with 'his' commanders and junior officers. They'll all meet a different fate.

[@cine1972]

Napoléon a fait la guerre de Waterloo 1815 ; Napoléon, c'est la France et la victoire de la France ouvre droit à la citoyenneté française aux autres par le fait qu'ils étaient des sympathisants à la France.

[@johnvaaler7292]

Nina Rota was a great composer and this gem is no exception. A wonderful arrangement as well.

[@LancerIHR]

I love how the last half of the waltz perfectly encapsulates the feeling of a loved one leaving and going off into battle, never to be seen again, right after a dreamy dance too
