@T T this scene shows why technique is not everything and how much influence a director has. For me, 1917 lacked the intensity of a scene like kubrick's. Doing a (fake) one-shot movie is a disadvantage and actually took away drama and tension from some scenes.

Kirk Douglas was really responsible for getting this film made. He used all of his Hollywood clout to see that it happened. Based on an actual series of events in France during the First World War, it is still considered by many to be the greatest anti-war film ever made. I remember watching it alone one night on television when I was fifteen years old and it had a great effect upon me.

This is probably one of the most accurate depictions of what an attack looks like in WW1. Sure, we don't see gore, but the tactics and the way the soldiers advance (trying to find some cover, not just running careless against machine gun fire), plus the fact they don't ever see the enemy, the constant barrage of enemy artillery, the destroyed field. And after the end of this clip, the discover that a big part of the battalion don't even left the trenches because of the casualties they suffered from enemy artillery. Great movie.

I actually found this film better than Saving Private Ryan. It didn't need to utilise blood to be scary and, in my opinion, the emotional scenes in the film are much more touching. I also think this film is actually anti-war in its message. While Saving Private Ryan claims to be anti-war, it has a lot of features in common with those old WWII propaganda movies made to further war effort. There's a lot of flag waving which, to be fair, might've been more noticeable to me because I'm not from America. I just can't shake a part of me that feels the films message fit more in line with 'they died for a heroic cause and we need to salute the military' than 'they shouldn't have died at all', which I suppose is fine message to say so long as you believe it, but I don't.

I watched a ww1 film in history class and my teacher said "This is a war movie and if it gets too intense for you feel free to wait outside" but we all just stared at it like zombies

This film scene influenced the opening scene of Gladiator where Maximus walks down the Roman picket line before the battle. We see how the minor characters react to Kirk Douglas's character. They fear him more than the enemy artillery. When he advances they do too. The character of the protagonist is developed in one take.

Love the way Kirk Douglas moves in this scene, the best actors know that the way someone moves adds to your understanding of the character, that acting goes beyond getting the facial expressions right and your lines out. RIP

Love how the scene begins with the walk through the trenches as a symbolic motif that while they must live buried in the ground in trenches, they will be buried in the ground in death.

The thing I notice is how the officer leading the charge must know that there's literally nothing he can do to protect his men's lives. Other wars allowed for tactics and maneuvering, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and just about every other war on every continent in the 20th century. An officer from any time, on any side could plan and plot how to keep him men alive, his friends. Not here, they literally march into death and that one man was the one "leading" them.

Dax never flinches--reminds me of the Speirs quote in Band of Brothers- "The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it. "

"The film doesn´t shows any message. In any case is a film in favour or against the army. It´s a film against the war, which can lead men to such conflicts of conscience" Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) American fim director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor and photographer.
