Tribute to "They Don't Grow Old"

I watched "They Don't Get Old Anymore" yesterday. Although the picture quality is not clear, there is still the feeling of photos, and there are black and white parts, but it does not affect the viewing experience at all. In my heart, this film is much better than "1917". Or there is no comparison, because one is telling the truth, and the other is a movie after all.

"They Don't Get Old Anymore" is actually a documentary. The pictures are added with the narration of the survivors of the war. The real war scenes don't even need too much music rendering, just watch the real positions. The tanks, bombs, bombing behind the artillery, swamps, the real state of the frontline soldiers, etc., were all learned for the first time through this film. I don’t think it’s possible to shoot the artillery bombing behind the artillery, and then the roof tiles will fall off, as well as the real firepower of the mines and bombs, and the state of the prisoners, etc. I think I've seen a lot, and I think this film is very meaningful to me, although I don't know much about the military.

But when I recommended it to a colleague, they didn't feel the same way as I did, even though my colleague was still a boy. He didn't even read it, and I was a little surprised. It's really that everyone's point is different. He thinks "The Irishman" is pretty good, but I think it's okay too.

    This documentary commemorating the centenary of the First World War can be called an epic masterpiece. The black and white images that were sleeping in the Imperial Museum in London were awakened by modern technology. Peter Jackson used magic to make them "not getting old" again. If you are there, no matter how shocking the war movies are, they are not as touching as these real pictures. They do not have names, identities or backgrounds in the picture. They have become historical symbols in the scouring of the century-old wave. What they hear are their detailed descriptions of life on the battlefield, sentence after sentence, without giving the audience any time to breathe. , just like the battles and bombings they experienced, they didn't give them any time to breathe.

    A special screening on the centenary of the end of the First World War. Before anti-war, you need to know what war is. This movie truly restores the war in detail. Although there is suspicion of talking, but Peter Jackson's craftsmanship is too good, I feel that the genre of documentary has been subverted. If all century-old films were repaired in this way, it would have opened the door to a new world! ! !

They Shall Not Grow Old quotes

  • 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.
