Reminds me of Prince Andrew

2019.11.11 The 101st anniversary of the end of World War I

Full-color restoration of precious images, plus 3D effects, a new documentary film experience.

The voices of the veterans echoed in the theater, telling the most real things lightly. The war scenes matched their narratives.

"When you're dying, your life flashes by, but at 19 I really don't have a life. When the bullets come, I just think 'Will I survive?'"

"Although it was so terrible at the time, let me do it again, and I will still never go back to the battlefield."

"People don't talk about that war at all, they have absolutely no interest in what happened, they have absolutely no concept of war."

"History will eventually prove that this war is not worth it."

...

told for nearly 100 minutes. Everything is very close.

For a few moments, the picture seems to overlap with Tolstoy's Patriotic War (although the weapons and equipment in the 19th century were not as advanced as they were then). I remembered Prince Andrew on the battlefield, that clean and calm noble son of noble family, who had also been so embarrassed and numb and bloody.

They are no longer getting old.

They shall not grow old.

"Veterans die, but they never wither."

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] With the blessing of today's latest restoration technology, the contemporary audience can travel to the battlefield of World War I 100 years ago in the form of 3D color and sound. The trenches and soldiers from a hundred years ago are brought to life on the big screen in high-definition images, accompanied by the narration of the veterans. After the picture of the soldiers laughing and resting, the tragic scene of corpses everywhere followed. The camera doesn't lie, everything is full of real shock, no remakes and no remakes. It is only a pity that the whole film is only narrated from a single perspective of a British veteran, and there is no German or other national army. They're all soldiers too, and they don't get old anymore

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.
