While the film shows flashes of genius, it glares of incompetence at times. The sound track is unclear and a lot of the techniques are dated. In particular, Europeans seem to have neglected mastering large crowd scenes. There is something unrealistic about having one voice raise from a crowd to sum up the mood of the scene. Like most spectaculars, "Waterloo" drags in spots. Too much time is spent setting the stage for things that don't deserve an explanation. Perhaps the worst feature of "Waterloo" is that wheff you leave the theatre, you're not sure what the film tried to say. At times it appears that "Waterloo" is a statement on the senseless insanity of war. Other times, it glorifies the pageant and spectacle. Despite the flaws, "Waterloo" deserves to be seen. After all, a combination of genius and incompetence is better than consistent mediocrity. Demos meet Monday Rep. I S -lohnson. 1)-Richland. will he speaker for the Young 1)emocrats on .londay night.
