They are put under pressure to include minorities in film though, I'm not sure if this was his decision why to do it.I don’t see why he is There were no black characters in WWII films like Saving Private Ryan or Hacksaw Ridge or countless others despite many black American soldiers serving, because all US units were segregated, whereas in Vietnam films there are. There’s no point in even making the film if he’s not trying to reflect the time, good or bad.
He's ganna have a fuckin' fit when he gans to see David Copperfield then...
By the time 1917 came round that's probably not true. As ranks were decimated, the more they had to make them up as the war went along so they might have all joined up and fought initially in regional groups but by the end of that war?You would certainly not have had a Sun'land lad, a jock, a brummie and a cockney in the same platoon, so having a Sikh in there was no big deal. He did the best piss-take 'snotty officer' voice anyway! Fox is an attention-seeking WUM, going by his performance on Question Time, and probably in the pay of Dominic Cummings.
Yep, I'd go along with that. I think I was maybe expecting more of a spectacle - if you can call the horrors of trench warfare that. Still some good scenes and I quite like how it was shot - the long takes following the leads to make it seem like one continuous shot in real time. I was quite moved by the first wave over the top.
Yep - agree.
I suppose you could argue that's a perspective the lads on the ground never had. I think it was enough to see the contrast between no man's land, and the idyllic countryside behind the line at the end.
What podcast might that be marra?
Sorry - read back and found it. Ta. Just ordered that book too.
Thought that geordie sounded terrible. Anly thing missing was a plug for the latest Sunday for Sammy DVD. *shudder*
He had fuckin' heaps of it!

I never knew he missed his chance only for the arch dukes car to pull up outside the cafe he was in, facilitating the assassination after all .On such things hung the lives of millionsListened to that first Dan Carlin podcast... very good. Makes an excellent argument for Princip (no, I couldn't have recalled the name previously either) being the one man to have changed the course of history forever.

There is a dramatisation of the diplomacy called 37 daysIf you read up about the aftermath there were plenty of opportunities for the two alliances (Britain, France, and Russia of the Triple Entente against Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy of Triple Alliance) to draw back... this was the last hurrah of the absolute monarchs of Europe and an arms race funded & fuelled by rampant capitalism.
It's beautifully filmed but it's a bit chod all told.
