    Produced and Directed by Peter Jackson:
    The acclaimed documentary is an extraordinary look at the soldiers and events of the Great War, using film footage captured at the time, now presented as the world has never seen. By utilizing state-of-the-art restoration, colorization and 3D technologies, and pulling from 600 hours of BBC archival interviews, Jackson puts forth an intensely gripping, immersive and authentic experience through the eyes and voices of the British soldiers who lived it.

    When I was 14 yrs. old I had the honor to look in on and take care of a WWI vet. This was circa 1974 and his name was William "Bill" Scotson. "A son of a Scot!" he would always remind me. I was an American boy in Massachusetts and he was a Brit. living in the states. I used to check on him after school, and make him a lunch. I mostly made poached eggs on toast. His favorite. He told me so many things about WWI. He drove an armored car, and he always reminded me that it had four speeds forward, and two speeds in reverse. I was 14 and he let me drive his car. He used to tell me that if we get stopped by the police - I'll just tell them that you're driving on my license. Even at the age of 14 I knew that that was shady. I said, "OK". : )

    Coincidentally, J.R.R Tolkien served in the First World War, where he started writing his stories about Middle-Earth. His friendships during the war inspired the relationships between the characters he created. Come full circle to see that Peter Jackson, the one who visualized his stories onto the big screen, do a ground breaking documentary during the war where Tolkien envisioned his world in the trenches. I can't wait to see this.

    "Suicide In The Trenches"
    I knew a simple soldier boy
    Who grinned at life in empty joy,
    Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
    And whistled early with the lark.
    In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
    With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
    He put a bullet through his brain.
    No one spoke of him again.
    You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
    Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
    Sneak home and pray you'll never know
    The hell where youth and laughter go.

    This is all British footage of the British because the imperial war museum asked Peter Jackson to make a 30 minute documentary for the 100th anniversary.
    Once Peter started, he just kept going. Sound was added to the footage using lip readers and voice actors from the area the soldiers were from.
    The narration is by men who were actually there, taken from recordings made in the 1950's and 60's.
    I would love to see French, German, and US versions using their own footage from that era.

      @@-xnnybimb-9398 It depends on how you define "worst war". In terms of death WWII was worse. But WWI was unique in that battles could go on for weeks. The reason for these lengthy battles was because the soldiers were in trenches so the battle lines, for the most part, did not change. The condition of the trenches were terrible as well, often having to deal with lice, rats, disease, thick mud, rain that would pool up in the trenches and also rotting corpses that weren't able to be buried. They also had to deal with intense artillery fire which could break soldiers psychologically. WWI was the war where they coined the term "shellshock" because so many soldiers suffered mental breakdowns from constant artillery bombardment.They also had to deal with gas attacks which were horrific in their own way. WWII on the other hand had a more fluid battle line and battles would not stretch on, for the most part, as long as they would in WWI. Both wars were bad but i think WWI was just more of a grueling and psychologically taxing war to take part in.

Peter explains that in 30 minutes virtually everyone in that footage will be dead or wounded. You are seeing the last moments of their lives. How can you not be moved by that? Haunting.

If you look closely, you can see a young man who is clearly terrified of what is waiting for him. It just kills my heart to see the fear in his eyes. And yet... he did his job.

In the end of the film one of the soldiers spoke about how no one who didn't experience it wouldn't understand and didn't give much care with it and how only the others who had gone what he went through would want to talk about it. Plus the film isn't just about the deaths, you see so many things that happened so long ago but it looks like it was yesterday.

He said that since he had been one of the youngest soldiers he thought he might be one of the oldest survivors, but he never thought he'd be the final survivor. Then he said he finally knew why he had lived so long; it was to stand there and tell everyone "that they died for us".

This film at least carries the strong anti-war message, but it's largely getting lost. Journalists are losing their jobs these days if they dare point out that WW1 remembrance was supposed to be anti-war.

    My grandfather served on the German side from 1915-1918. He was court martialled to serve as Stormtrooper because he punched an arrogant officer in the face (called the soldiers coming from the frontline stinking pigs). He was burried alive in a bunker by a close artillery impact, wounded 7 times, labelled a "hopeless case" once and left in the dying-ward. He made it. Later in WW2 he was conscripted as officer, to command a POW camp. When it was liberated by the Soviets, they wanted to shoot him for being a POW camp commander. The allied soldiers protected him, saying he treated them good. He returned to civilian life and died age 81.

    I saw this upon its release & it really is the greatest documentary ever made; not just from the subject matter, but from a technical standpoint.
    On a personal level it really resonates with me, because my great grandfather was killed in action three weeks before the war ended. His body was never recovered & he left a widow & a young son to grow up without a father.
    When watching this footage, I often think wonder if one of those British soldiers could be my great grandfather.

So they are already in no mans land. When the British attack they are closer to the German and suffer appalling casualties. The large explosion in the film was supposed to have destroyed German defences on their right flank.

That, giving the films the proper speed, and discovering what was spoken in these films and voiced by men with the same regional accents was a wonderful extra step that could have just as easily been considered superfluous.

      It's called "interpolation", and many household TV's already do it in real-time while watching TV. If your TV is advertised to be 120 Hz or higher, it does it with what you watch already (unless you've disabled that feature). However, it's much easier when you have higher frame rates (24+). Jackson is doing it with only 14 frames per second, which is much more difficult to interpolate. This footage looks incredible. Can't wait to see it.

There's a lot more impact seeing something in clear clarity. The more degraded the image, the less we recognize the reality of it. Compare a black and white used rental VHS videotape to IMAX. One can show you what it looks like to fly, the other could have the same shot but it just doesn't register emotionally as reality and so almost might as well be a cartoon.

      yeah the speed makes it almost comical to watch and the black and white just doesn’t give you the same sense of reality

    I don't cry, but I'm not ashamed to admit that this trailer brought tears to my eyes. Each and every person in this footage was real. Each one with hopes, and dreams, and families and fears. Each one risking everything for one another, just trying to get themselves, and their fellows home. May we in modern times not forget the lessons of the past, and may the memories and sacrifices of each and every one of these brave men never, ever, grow old.

      Unfortunately I'm ashamed to admit that it's in human nature to forget. When will we all start to remember that the concept of war is wrong? Won't we ever learn from our mistakes??? 😢😢😢

      Don't forget, The War that will end all War. Yea, it was senseless, over a royal Austrian royal life, AND its political upheaval of each European nation. That is the sad part, people slaughtered, INNOCENT slaughtered. That is why this movie is a needed must to watch it captures the pointless and stupidity of war.

      What an odd way to open a statement. Why would anyone feel *ashamed* to admit to crying? I feel ashamed for some of the shitty things ive done in my life, but for expressing raw emotion? It sucks what people are made to feel bad about. Never feel ashamed for being a human connecting to the suffering of others. Fuck anyone who belittles you for expressin yourself.

    Imagine explaining to them how those pictures would one day have sound, then color, then be able to be seen on a box at home, then be seen on a flat disc, explain what a phone is and then tell them watch "the pictures" on those things now..

    I'm a soldier, I'm 23, I've been serving for 3 years now. Each ANZAC day I look back and each time I get to see that boys younger than me that,
    Gave their youth, their bodies, their spirits, and their lives.
    They gave their today, so we could have our tomorrow, all that is asked of us is to remember them.

      ​@@daniellord1916 They fought for one autocratic empire against another. They were all fighting for a few wealthy people who were mostly born into their power and privilege and regarded world realpolitik and war as a great game to indulge in. There was no social security or welfare state, unions had to fight for recognition, no universal suffrage, Russia still had serfs for god's sake. Everyone thought they'd be home for Christmas. The reality of the carnage that followed did eventually sink home as even they lost sons, but modern warfare had not been expected by armies that still looked Napoleonic in everything but the arms they carried. I'll agree with your second half. But don't confuse WW1 and WW2, which did have something worth fighting for.

    My great Grandpa and great Uncle served in WW1. My Uncle left home with jet black hair and when he returned it was snow white from the stress. Incredible what those guys went through and I wish there was more excellent movies and documentaries capturing that.

    I'll always remember he the theater experience! All ages and creeds; youth to mid 90's watching history presented and respected--and in complete awe and silence. I have not once experienced a theater presentation where not one soul spoke or risked interrupting what we were all viewing until this documentary! WE ALL stayed for the post-viewing presentation, I believe the only comments we had were " WOOWW!". My buddy and I went to see this after completing Battlefiedl 1's heartfelt campaign, and on the drive to a local grub spot and all the way up when we sat down with our food we were completely speechless.
    MUST SEE viewing here. Absolutely MUST SEE.
