When they step on the battlefield, they find that everything is different from what they thought, but they have Can't turn back, can only roar towards the enemy.

    Peter Jackson is awesome, BBC is awesome. The history of World War I is not well known to most people. This documentary tells the whole process of joining the army from the outbreak of the war to becoming a marginalized group of society at the end of the war from the perspective of ordinary soldiers. Coupled with the great restoration technology, it is worthy of being recorded in history.

    Coloring hell, a very cult documentary. Although the story is about survivors, the ones who really don’t grow old are the dead.

  • 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.
