We watched The Crossing last night.
It’s funny how a good movie or book because you are on the edge of your seat even though you know exactly what happens.
Jeff Daniels does a great job and it’s funny how much he actually looks like Washington. Â Casting was pretty great in general.
The only complaint I have is that they speak in 2oth century English rather than 18th century English. Â While it makes it easier to understand, it isn’t as beautiful to listen to.
I must warn you though, that it doesn’t EXACTLY follow the true account. Â It’s pretty close, in actuality, the mission of the Battle of Trenton and the events leading up to it make the whole thing even MORE amazing. Â So I don’t know why they left that stuff out, but I’m not a director.
