A really cool movie

I think "With Sword and Fire" is one of the best films where you can see period costumes and arms and armor of the mid of 17th century (Poland, Ukraine). Polish novelist Henryk Sienkiewicz is one of the best epic writers worldwide (he received Nobel Price in Literature in 1905 I think) and Poles are well proud of him. Maybe that´s why they took a very good attention as far as the authenticity of the arms used in "his" films is concerned. Also his another good noveles were picturized - e.g. "The Deluge", "Fire in the Stepe", The Teutonic Knights" - but these are a bit older..., nevertheless nice, too.
