Join me for 1917 (2019), it's such an amazing WW1 movie. I was stressed the entire way through as George MacKay and Dean-Charles Champman make their way through no man's land! It's war, it's intense and it was filmed beautifully!

My Grandfather fought in World War I (Latvians were drafted into Russian Army since we were occupied by Czarist Russia.) My Father fought in World War II against the Soviets. My Dad often shared his stories of what was like on the bloodiest battles of World War II. The horrors of war. My Grandfather didn’t talk about his war experience but listened to my Father. One day my Grandfather spoke up a time when my Father was recounting his war years. My Grandfather elderly by then. Got visibly upset (which is very rare.) and angrily said. “You boys had it easy, it was a picnic compared to what we went through!!! You want to know hell?! Bury your school chums into the trench walls and use their bodies as protective sandbags! The more bodies you stack in the walls the longer you live!” My grandfather stood up and walked off into a corner of the yard and cried. He was in his late 70s. The ONLY time he ever got upset, the only time he cried, and the ONLY time he ever spoke of “The War to End All Wars” as World War One was called. Both my Father and Grandfather both prevented us from ever joining the Army. Never let it even play with war-related toys either. “No amount of Nationalist Propaganda is worth your life son, We fought so you wouldn’t have to son.” Words of my Late Father. 1917 for World War One and Saving Private Ryan did for World War II both are masterpieces.

The sad thing is that at 24:00 those german soldiers were actually deserters. Somebody translated it, he's saying in the background that he's thinking of returning to the frontline, and maybe nobody will have noticed they've gone missing. He's also saying the german lad better not be drinking what remains of the rum...

I think the ending is a nice touch. It ends how it starts with him lead up against a tree. It shows that this was just a day and night in the life of a soldier. Tomorrow he may be given new orders. There's no real time to recover from the mental trauma. He has to just try and survive on a day to day basis.

Since I only saw 2 of my Top 5 War Films on the poll screen shot, I feel the need to recommend them: 1.) The Thin Red Line (1998) 2.) All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) 3.) Come And See (1985) 4.) 1917 (2019) 5.) Full Metal Jacket (1987.) When diving into the War Film genre, I cannot stress enough to beware for the propaganda-It’s often, unfortunately, in some of the most impressively shot films (*cough* Black Hawk Down *cough*.) 🙏🏼☺️ Godspeed.

Great reaction, Verowak! Thanks for watching it. 👍😊 Since you've asked for recommendations for more war movies, I'd like to suggest "Greyhound" (2020) starring Tom Hanks. It was released in the theaters just as COVID started to mess up everything, so it never reached the popularity it should have since hardly anyone saw it.

The background to this movie is that, following the losses they suffered in the Battle of the Somme, the Germans withdrew several miles to a fortified defensive system they called the Siegfried Stellung and the Allies called the Hindenberg Line. The area the Germans had vacated had been devastated and they boobytrapped large parts of it. The date of this film is just days before the first major British Offensive on 1917, the Battle of Arras, which at first successful quickly ground into a bloody stalemate. The French Offensive, due to go in roughly the same time, went straight into the German Defences and was an even worse disaster which led to much of the French Army mutinying. The director, Sam Mendes, based this film on his own grandfather's experiences during the First World War.

@alanholck9845 7 ай бұрын

The Canadian sector of Arras was Vimy Ridge. Also, the date that the film started, 6 Apr 1917 was the day the US entered the war.
