I know what you mean as it stayed with me all of last night.Watched it last night before I went to bed and couldn't sleep thinking about it. Woke up in the night thinking about it, first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning.
Don't know whether to watch it all again, stick on another film about it or try get it out of my head.
Doesn't it say Subjects in the passport? Can't quite remember.Apols if SEB but no, the British Nationality Act 1981 made us Citizens. Subjects is a legally different term used for some of the former overseas colonies
, however what I still can't explain, is that given everything the leaders of that time saw at the front, how did they allow themselves to be drawn into world war 2 years later, .
The appeasement of Hitler in trying to avert another World War in the end partially caused it.
I am sure other factors were at play, the way the allies treated Germany after the war with the The Treaty of Versailles maybe, the Wall street crash of 1929 also.
Which is why I used the word partially - we hamstrung Germany at Versailles and then Wall street crippled their economy.
Was amazed by it: I was hooked from the moment it went in. Last watched The Great War 10 years back. The transition from ancient footage to pristine HD was jaw dropping. I’ve not felt like that since watching Schindler’s List or the first 30 mins of saving private Ryan.
All my lot were down pits from Blyth to Silksworth.
The power of modern CGI.I know the colour was brilliant but I thought the thing that really helped bring it to life was the filling in of the frames so that you could see the movement of people in real time, rather than like a Charlie Chaplin film.
Christ knows how long it took them to remaster all that.
I doubt I am ever going to be able to put into words, what we all witnessed last night, I also think it may have just replaced World at War as the best historical telling of what war is really like, however what I still can't explain, is that given everything the leaders of that time saw at the front, how did they allow themselves to be drawn into world war 2 years later, I thought maybe if I learned a bit more about the 1920s and 30s it may explain it so that's what I am going to do plenty of podcasts around and stuff online etc, maybe it may put into some context.
What do you mean by 'drawn into world war 2'?
I've just watched it there now, and was going to post something, but you've took the words out of my mouth..I didn't think it possible to have anymore admiration, reverence, and sorrow for the boys who fought/died in WWI, until I watched this. Remarkable viewing.
