What did you think of this film?
Using state of the art technology to restore original archival footage which is more than a 100-years old, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there. Driven by a personal interest in the First World War, Jackson set out to bring to life the day-to-day experience of its soldiers. After months immersed in the BBC and Imperial War Museums’ archives, narratives and strategies on how to tell this story began to emerge for Jackson. Using the voices of the men involved, the film explores the reality of war on the front line; their attitudes to the conflict; how they ate; slept and formed friendships, as well what their lives were like away from the trenches during their periods of downtime.

Jackson and his team have used cutting edge techniques to make the images of a hundred years ago appear as if they were shot yesterday. The transformation from black and white footage to colourised footage can be seen throughout the film revealing never before seen details. Reaching into the mists of time, Jackson aims to give these men voices, investigate the hopes and fears of the veterans, the humility and humanity that represented a generation changed forever by a global war.

Are There Any Extras During The Credits? No

Are There Any Extras After The Credits? Yes

after the credits

There is about 30 minutes worth of extras after the credits. We see the director, Peter Jackson, talking about how the movie was made (such as how they were able to add color and sound), and why he chose to tell this story the way that he did. He also wishes that if there’s one thing people could take from the film, it’d be for people to connect with their older relatives so that the older generation’s stories can continue even after they’re gone.
