Journeys end.

Just watched it on nexflix. Very atmospheric ww1 film .Only a 12 not a lot of gore but one of the best psychological war films I have seen. Heavy stuff.
 


I was looking forward to it as we read the book at school 20 years ago. Thought it was okay but prefer beneath hill 60.

Hill 60 is on youtube will give it a watch tonight . Thing I liked about journeys end was the way it portrayed the quiet waiting for a certain attack, the differences in how men dealt with that pressure and the importance and depth of the interpersonal relationships.
 
Tried watching it for the last three nights and fell asleep each time!

Either the film is shite or the Pinot Noir is hitting me!
It's not one of the most rivitting or exciting action films and I think one of the main themes is mental exhaustion, the whole film is tired (apart from the replacement raw officer ) and scared.
I watched it in the afternoon
