The ending - spoilers
Fantastic movie and probably quite true the way the nobles treated their subjects. The first scene is an "eye" opener, but when you got to the ball you saw just why scene 1 happened.
My questions are (since the VHS copy was a bit blury):
Where was the location of the first scene? France or England?
And who were the 2 characters standing on the hill at the end?
And were they in England?
Could not read the end english words about what happened to the guy and the girl in his swamps. What did it say?
