The military Channel has an excellent WWI series they play. I'll have to watch this later.

have you seen Paths of Glory? not a documentary, of course, but a good WWI film. kirk douglas. kubrick's 3rd film, back in '57, i think.

I haven't even heard of that film. I'll have to check it out. I've watched the original "All Quiet on the Western Front" and read the book twice.

is it colorized?
watching it in color gives you a completely different impression.
amazing

the author's military record has always been disputed

i have heard of barry lyndon. ryan o'neal flick. long film, innit. it's a coincidence that someone else also brought up this film the other night. pretty obscure movie, i think.

Yes, and it covers all aspects of the war. They covered every region of the war as well as socio-political aspects. I actually learned quite a bit and I was a military history major.

Is there a lot of fighting footage in it?

A fair amount of footage, considering the limited amount available, and a lot of still photographs.

 

[Gambino]

Is there a lot of fighting footage in it?

not blood and guts
but very informative, and the colorization changes the whole image

Wilfred Owen
Dulce Et Decorum Est

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.

GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
