Curiosidades
During the scenes at Trafalgar, the main rudder of HMS Victory is shot, killing the pilot and one the helmsmen. At this point, Nelson orders to "engage the enemy more closely". These events are genuine, and happened exactly in the order depicted in the movie, according to HMS Victory's log.

Pifias
Despite being popularized as such by previous films, Admiral Horatio Nelson never wore an eyepatch. Despite having lost the sight of his left eye during the Siege of Calvi in 1794 after a cannonball hit a sandbag near his position, blasting sand and debris on his face, he did not lose the eyeball. Nelson did have a visor sewn to his hat that partially covered his blind eye, to protect him against glare, but never wore a full eyepatch, especially on land.

Quite a smartly made British period film. Set in Georgian Britian the film centres around Nelson's relationship with the scandalous Miss Hamilton who is portrayed as a witty yet crass woman, insecure and often drunk and hardly acceptable in society. The film portrays Nelson has beyond doubt a great man but one with a complex personal life. This is not really a war movie and it's pacing may frustrate a modern viewer now. The battle sequence though is fairly well portrayed and I'm glad we have at least one film that depicts this key moment in British history.

The film has a 16:9 aspect ratio, colours are fairly natural and the set decoration and filming locations all looked pretty good to me.
