re: They Shall Not Grow Old

The parts that got me were when they showed the shot of some soldiers when they were alive and smiling then a shot of the same soldiers killed.

Saw it last night. It was really great and im glad my wife and I went. Its really a topic we never hear about too much but that is so important and influental on how the world is today.



And is anyone else beyond amazed there ISNT a national WWI monument in DC?! I had no idea there wasnt one yet.

Did you get to the theater late?

Jackson gives a short introduction before the film where he mentions this.

Does the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier count?


Additionally, where can I watch this online? I can't get to BR for the 27th showing. :(

Saw it last night in BR. Very good doc. They were only showing it in 3D here, so I was hesitant about that, but it actually looked pretty awesome in the theater and I was impressed by it. I would still like to see it in 2D though, so hopefully the DVD comes out soon for it.

And agree that the little follow-up doc that aired after the credits was great too. It is incredible to see what they were able to do with the film from literally 100 years ago. The shots they showed in the post doc about the almost all black and all white shots and how they corrected them to be able to see what was happening, that was unreal. It was also cool how he talked about the hardest thing to colorize was the grass and dirt. That was something I never would have thought about, but it made perfect sense the way he explained it.

Just a really cool movie experience and I was glad they expanded the shows here and I was able to see it. The wife enjoyed it as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone even halfway interested in history.

I'm seeing it tonight before it goes away again. I'm so excited. Need a good experience after Glass.

I saw it this afternoon. It was awesome. They didn’t mention any specific battles or take it on from an historical perspective, which I thought it would have been. Instead, they try to portray the war from a soldier in the trenches point of view from enlistment to discharge. The soldiers didn’t know the specific battle names or reasons why they were fighting. They just fought it like a job. Not really an emotional or gut wrenching film, but it was refreshing.

Saw it in Memphis tonight.

Most powerful couple hours I’ve ever spent in a movie theater.

If you go you see it you really should stay after the credits and see what went into creating this film. Absolutely mind blowing.

Went and saw this yesterday and literally got chills when the remastered footage comes in with full color and sound. I just sat there in complete awe for a few minutes. Absolutely a groundbreaking film. I hope he makes more with focus on different people during the war. He kind of alluded to that during the little "Making of" after the credits.
