I guess not. The trenches were truly horrible, as was the war itself for the men involved. unlike WWII, the military took the brunt of the horrors of WWI. Guess thats why we don't have a bunch of stories about. AT times its hard to fault the french the pacifism of WWII when you think about what they went through in WWI |

If the horse dies in the end I won't see it.
I don't like movies with sappy endings but I also don't want to pay for something that's going to make me feel like crap. I have a copy of "Collier's Photographic History of the European War" It was made before the war ended. No mans land littered withe skeletons. One picture shows the photographer falling dead from a shell impact. Brutal war. My great Uncle died years after as a result of German Mustard gas |

I'd be very interested in a film centered on trench warfare. Though you're right, it wouldn't "entertain"... it's not Indiana Jones or Transformers. It would necessarily be a very brutal movie, but there must be hundreds of good stories to tell, that would make it worthwhile. |

I saw it last week (a special showing for a fundraiser) and it was VERY good. Can you tell us why you think it was very good? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Well, I was approaching the film from a military history standpoint, and while some of the 'big picture' action was compressed and dramatized a bit much, the movie did a really good job portraying WW1 British cavalry and WW1 German artillery forces - uniforms and gear seemed to be quite well done, and the tactics/manual of arms demonstrated in teh film seemed to fit with the various drill books I have read over the years from that period. Without trying to spoil anything, I can definitely say this is not a documentary about WW1. The story is MELODRAMA on steroids, and extremely good at tugging the heartstrings about how the horses deal with war, and how they are treated by various troops - some of that was borderline manipulative I thought, but I went in knowing that was likely to happen so I was prepared to get past that. There were some people at this fundraiser that had to get up and leave at a certain point of the film - the fundraiser was for an animal rescue group, so that might give you an idea of the audience and what was going on without me tossing out spoilers. But for me, the visuals, the attention to detail and the soundtrack made the film a very good film. I am not sure I would take a young child to this film (under 14), especially children who are very much into horses or animals, without you first seeing the film without the child to get an idea of its appropriateness. |
