Noticed this in the BBC miniseries of War and Peace. The Battle of Austerlitz is shown being fought on a nice summer day. Napoleon's masterpiece was fought on December 2nd, 1805. Does anyone else notice stuff like this?

I haven't seen that miniseries, but I would notice that flaw.

I’m not much of a history buff. :/ but if it’s a change from a novel I’ve read usually I’ll notice.

Artistic license and sloppy research go hand in hand.

Are you sure? Do you know the weather according to the historical accounts? Or are you just thinking December = Xmas = Snow? If you are correct then it should be noted all five adaptations portray a non-snowy environment.

Artistic license and sloppy research go hand in hand. There are some movies that didn't give a crap for history and it shows. From Santa Fe Trail to Braveheart. And I'm sure that the filming of Austerlitz was done because they didn't want to wait six months to film the scene. It's just something I notice. I've seen movies that have a scene in summer and the next scene will be in fall or winter. My wife always pays attention to a clock in a scene to see if the time is correct. It wasn't in a lot of movies. One character speaks and the clock says 6:15. Cut back to the speaker and its 10:10.

Inaccuracies aside, I love the BBC War & Peace and own it.
