From 1914 to 1918, the First World War not only changed the course of history, but also changed the fate of countless young people in it. They were once innocent and lush young men who put on uniforms with a passion to defend the country to the death, but they were devastated on the battlefield full of corpses. In the deafening sound of artillery fire, they methodically tested new weapons, but the next time they were hit on flesh and blood. For ordinary soldiers who face death threats every day, living in mud-like trenches makes them degenerate and isolated. However, when facing the camera, they still smile. They are also big boys full of human touch: playing the harmonica together to enjoy the friendship of comrades in the sun; singing through the trenches, like an outing in spring; even if the food is simple, they can be decorated with flowers in the barrel. The soldiers don't care about winning or losing the war, they just hope that everything ends soon

STARS: 1. Slow motion facial depiction moments before attack 2. Scots minor while charging 3. Real! Deductions: 1. Less strategic and tactical background explanations 2. The plot is not coherent enough, lacking a complete individual story 3. British perspective, not involving other warring countries 4. No subtitles! (Don't blame the director)

Peter Jackson is awesome, BBC is awesome. The history of World War I is not well known to most people. This documentary tells the whole process of joining the army from the outbreak of the war to becoming a marginalized group of society at the end of the war from the perspective of ordinary soldiers. Coupled with the great restoration technology, it is worthy of being recorded in history.

Soldier: [waving at camera] Hi, mum.

Soldier: You don't look, you see. You don't hear, you listen. You taste the top of your mouth. Your nose is filled with fumes and death. But the veneer of civilization has dropped away.
