Flashman Posted Friday at 21:17 Report Share Posted Friday at 21:17 The trailer for 28 years later’s dropped - looks outstanding. They use an extract from one of Kipling’s poems, Boots. It’s a great poem, yet Kipling’s been unfashionable for forty years or more. Have a listen here: https://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poem/poems_boots.htm It’s shame we ignore our history - Kipling lived in India, wrote about it, loved it, yet we refuse to even discuss it any more. Anyway, give the poem a listen - also try Mandalay or If or any of the hundreds of others - there’s lots to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted Friday at 21:43 Report Share Posted Friday at 21:43 Just watched the trailer, it looks awesome. That's on the list. At Nis in Serbia is a skull tower made from the skulls of Serbian rebels killed in an uprising. A clip in the trailer reminded me of the tower. Worth a visit if you are that way.
