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

Completely based on the oral histories of veterans, supplemented by re-colored and dubbed images, Peter Jackson successfully restored various details of the Western Front of World War I. The cross-editing of the group photo of the soldiers before the battle and the corpses on the battlefield is one of the most shocking movie moments this year.

The visual shock brought by the restoration technology was soon covered by the shock of the war itself, and the true face of the war came to my face. The voice-over book is very well written, novelist level. The individual pictures are terrifying and not suitable for children.
