Good One!
As a fan of hysterical, historical films, a Kookaburras birdcall ( the iconic Australian native bird) to depict ":the wild woods" in a Hollywood historical movie concerning Napoleon and post Revolution France….oh really, that is just too much poetic license. I know , it's one of those "In" jokes". 🌏🐨🦘🦈🇦🇺
At the end of it all, with so many commercial breaks I am disinclined to give a Subscription. Sorry 😐.
