Words alnost fail me in describing this grand turkey. Watching this movie was like being imprisoned in a dank dungeon while fingernails were scraped on a blackboard! Every minute was excruciating.
A spoof! No. Complete sacrilege. An offece against every fibre of my being. WHY was this awul pece of sludge made? Clearly not to spoof the greatest form of cinema, the serious, adult western. It was made by one of these bottom feeding savages, barbarians: a 'person' who hates westerns. Westerns are above spoofing: they are sacred!

Light on history it is really the process reimagined from the modern, nationalistic Indian perspective, so it has to show Mountbatten and wife as cardboard cutout 'stiff upper lip' Brit imperialists.
The real story is more nuanced and far better covrted in the excellent earlier mini series Mountbatten, with Nicol Williamson as Mountbatten, detailing also with Lady Edwina's romance with soon to be Indian Prime Minister Nehru.
This movie is pure chocolate box, with beautiful production values. However it presentis a 'test tube', superficial view, divorced from the history of British India and what was to a large extent a shared experience. Indians were not a downtrodden people under the imperialist heel. A more nuanced, balanced presentation, with less of the triumphalist modern Indian view, WAS presented in the Mountbatten mini series.
All in all, disappointing.
