Great movie

A great movie. Polish hussars looked very realistic. I enjoy reading Henryk Sienkiewicz novels very much.

I believe most of those guys were actually historical re-enactors hired for the part. I could be wrong though.

That's right. We have lots of such groups in Poland, dealing with all time periods from early medieval times to WorldWar2, and they are always hired for the movies.
