    I love how death is represented in the first charging scene not by blood and gore, but by contrasting the shot of soldiers charging, with the empty horses passing through.

      While Artistically I can see how that works in this film. I'd feel a more impactful scene would be instead to have the horses and their riders being cutdown around the protagonist's mount. Witnessing the true power and horror of machine guns against cavalry, we have cuts in between where you see from the German perspective just how easy it is to mow down an entire regiment of cavalry. When it looks like the rider has gotten clear of the deluge, a snap, camera zooms in on the horse to give the impression of the horse being hit, a gasp of air before the camera zooms back out to see the riderless horse, the only riderless horse, in a field of dead nobles and their steeds.

      @@docwill5056 No less vivid than other war scenes displayed in the same film. The Devonshire regiment attack and damn near getting annihilated by MGs, Arty and Rifle fire before the gas attack, shows the insane Napoleonic style tactics utilized in WW1 and it succeeds in bringing the horror of the First World War to the theatre and then the screen.
      What bugs me is that we as an audience can witness the graphical violence done to men/women seen in the likes of Saving private ryan, War horse, Black hawk down, Generation kill etc. But we tow the line at some horses being gunned down? Outlaw king did a beautiful job representing the power of cavalry and, how to effectively counter without shying away from the fact that horses were just as much a target as the humans riding them.

      Please don't think i offend them with this, but I am currently reading a diary of a French soldier (Louis Barthas), and they don't want to be called brave, they don't want do be called glorious, they just wanted people to know what the war was really like, because the propaganda at that time showed the war as a glorious event, and that the bleeding people were heroes, but they didn't care about the (psychic) wounded soldiers without blood.... I am glad that videos like this show how it was, but most of the soldiers weren't brave, and don't like to be called that way. All they cared about (at least Louis Barthas), was that people know that it was absolute hell there. If you haven't read the book yet, I would really advice you to! It is beatifully written, and shows the horrors of WW1 even better than the movies.

    These movies, which mostly show British attacks on the Western front, seem to be overly influenced by the carnage of the first day of the Somme. The reality is that these attacks were often successful at the tactical level but due to the limitations of transport and communications they were rarely if ever translated into strategic gains. Also, they never show the devastation of the defending trenches where the British barrage often destroyed the first line of defense and the attacking waves sometimes walked in to little opposition. Of course, these successes were short lived as the Germans often successfully counterattacked.
    Not to be too cavalier about these horrifying battles, there certainly were plenty of attacks where the British or French troops were slaughtered en masse. Still a head-scratcher as to why the generals kept doing the same kind of attacks over and over.
    All of these clips were from films made in the 21st century. I'm guessing the creator hasn't seen such outstanding WW1 films as All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), Sergeant York (1941), or Paths of Glory (1956 or 57), all of which contained realistic battle scenes worthy of this video.

      Easy to see that with hindsight. At the time there were generals who still thought that cavalry would win the war. The First World War was truly the dawn of modern warfare as we know it; although the participants at the time didn't fully understand that, especially in the early stages. It was essentially trial and errror at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives.

    @Morgsm There's another aspect of WWI that needs to be mentioned - all the executions for 'cowardice' that took place.
    Most of the 'cowards' who were executed, were shell-shocked 16-17 year old boys who had lied about their age, to 'join the great adventure', only to crack under the prolonged and devastating artillery pounding, and were found wandering around dazed, and disoriented. They were arrested on sight, and after a short 'trial', (some trials took only 20 mins-½ hour) they were sentenced to be 'shot at dawn'. Often they were shot already the following morning.
    The Italians carried out the most such executions, then the French, closely followed by the British (they also shot Canadians, New Zealanders)
    The Germans executed considerably fewer of their troops.
    America and Australia did not execute their own troops for 'cowardice'.

      Again, gore isn't needed to represent the horrors of the Great War in film.

      Most ot these scenes range from poor to complete rubbish. Troop deployoments void of any tactical sense but loads of brainless CGI and fireworks instead. The only scenes that look slightly realistic is the one involving French troops (timestamp 11:00) and - to a lesser degree - the last one. The French scene (Joyeux Noel) because it shows a time early in the war when "human wave" assaults really still were a standard procedure. The latter because it looks as if a infantry unit gets surprised by a well timed counter barrage as it prepares itself for an attack and is therefor quite exposed. What those flares were intendet for I don't know but I don't want to pretend to know it all either. The scene from "lost battalion" maybe was the least bad of the bad ones as the Amercians were rather new to the business so they might have used some outdated tactics but even they should have been taught in the use of light machine gun units (Chauchat/BAR), small teams, surpressing fire, hand grenades and such. After all, it was 1918 already. The special effects and the fireworks isn't as much over the top as the other movies either but still... after all it is from a movie who's basic message of 'muricans showing those lame europeans how to fight is an insult to all the victims of WWI to begin with.

    WW1 is such a fascinating war in terms of technology. In the beginning (as you see here in war horse) its starts off of with swords on horse back, non practical war uniforms, and bolt action rifles. Then Towards the end you have machine guns, chemical warfare, aerial dog fights, tanks, and flame throwers. Its too bad there are not enough WW1 films that cover a variety of topics, and many and I mean many of them are love stories with fictional characters.

Don't think any publisher would be interested. My dad went to France-Belgium- Germany, later on to Korea. They wanted him to go to Vietnam, promising to make him a General in a short time (two promotions). He retired instead, he's not the type of man who'd lead men into battle from a desk or on the rear of the army. The US Army wouldn't let a Colonel or General to go inside a tank shooting at the enemy right in front of him. I suspect that's why he declined. God only knows. He got two important condecorations for war service. He died on 1970s. He (and his Company) entered the atomic bomb site in New Mexico during the Oppenheimer test, as the Army needed to see if soldiers could go in after a blast and finish off the enemy. 60% of them died of cancer eventually, including him. He had one last battle against communists shooting towards the Canal Zone civilians back in 1964. Then he retired years later having turned down Vietnam.

    World War One has always held a certain fascination with me because it was such a pivotal point in human history, the end of the Victorian Era and the beginning of the modern era that we live in today. It's also right at the edge of living memory. Veteran's of World War 1 were still with us until the 1960s and as such we actually know what the war was like still it's hard to imagine armies still using horses and swords getting ripped apart by machine guns and large artillery piece's. Technology had advanced so much that few Western Countries had ever used any of the new modern weapons that had just become available in a real war and as such they couldn't predict just how devasting modern war could be until they were right in middle of it. That's why the first few months of the war started out much like wars fought in the 19th century with calvary charges and large lines of infantry clashing in open fields. Of course that quickly gave way to trenches once it became apparent that fighting out in the open was suicide. Then the rest of the war became about trying to find a way to cross no man's land and reach the enemy trenches without being wiped off the face of the earth. By the time the US got involved technology and military tactics had evolved enough for armies to actually leave the trenches and go on the offensive but it was still extremely costly fighting out in the open even with the cover of tanks and creeping artillery barrages. The US was extremely fortunate to have sat out most of the war because in space of just 19 months the US lost over a hundred thousand men. Had we entered the war earlier that figure would have been much much higher.

    If you are a fan of these Old World War I films look up on TH-cam Johnny got his gun either by the digital remastered version or there is a free version of the full movie on somebody's Channel. It's based on a true story of this American Soldier who was sent to France. His limbs and face got blown off by artillery fire while on a night scouting mission. They were spotted and Germany already had the location zeroed in. He is still alive but can't see, speak, move or communicate in any way. The military and doctors decided to keep him and (not in the movie but they did experiment on him.) He remembered morse code from when he was a child. His father spoke to him about how he and a childhood friend would string a wire so they could telegraph to eachother. He got the attention of one nurse over time with slight body movements. She begain to notice his head moving in a conscious state. She tried to end his suffering by cutting his oxygen but she was stopped by a military officer. They brought in a soldier, officers, and many doctors to figure out what he was saying.
    *shakes head*
    "S-O-S, Kill me, S-O-S, Kill me." Over and over again untill they decide to keep him alive locked away and noone knows what really went on.
    The movie was based off a book by the same title, "Johnny Got His Gun." By Dalton Trumbo.

      Artillery spotting, primarily. A section of big guns would have a balloon working with them, and a telephone cable running from the balloon down to the gunners. The guns would fire, and the guy in the balloon would watch to see where they landed,
      "Okay, a little the right, and you're landing behind the trenches"
      Then the gunners would adjust a little bit, and shoot again
      "Good - direct hit. Let them have it!"

    I love the look on the British cavalry guy's face when he sees the German machine gunner. He and his friends have enjoyed an easy, cowardly "victory" butchering half-asleep, fleeing men, but now that the enemy can fight back, it's his time to die. Suddenly war isn't so glorious, is it?

      As an American, I usually root for my side (the right side in WW1 and WW2) but the smug phony gallantry of those British cutting down unarmed men and then getting gunned down by REAL weapons, made me smile a little.
      And you can argue all you want that there were no good or bad guys in WW1 but the Ottomans were unequivocally evil, the rape of Belgium was a thing, and the Germans were sinking our ships, and trying to get Mexico to fight us. Seems pretty bad to me. Obviously it wasn’t as extreme as it was in WW2 but I think there still was a “bad side”.

      As a Canadian, you're absolutely right. I remember first learning about Canada's involvement in the Great War in grade 10. I couldn't believe that They're involvement was so much. The four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force turned the tide of the Western Front at Vimy Ridge. Canada always seems to get overlooked. Sir Arthur Currie is Canada's greatest generals in Canadian military history. He was way better than Douglas Haig.

    War Horse is a fine film. However, I fail to understand the logic of the German encampment, out in the open, with presumably no pickets or guards on duty. The German machine guns positions in the tree line are to the rear of the open encampment, and their weapons are oriented toward their own camp. They could not logically open fire until their own men retreated to their rear, at which time the British cavalry charge would also be on top of them. The German camp could have been bait to lure the British Cavalry into the open for an ambush, but if so, the camped forces did not seem to be aware of it as they were cut down by sabers.
