I like to think he got knocked down and decided it was a good enough hit to get knocked out, and so he just decided to play unconscious. In regards to the actor, he was probably an extra, plus this was a one-shot scene where the messenger wasn't supposed to run into anyone. He probably decided just not moving was the best way to not mess up the scene.
Will wasn't meant to run into anyone when running. The extra didn't know what to do, so he just stayed down. And since the shot could only be done once, they kept it in the movie.
@@fauxbro1983 this scene actually was just one take. In fact the soldier bumping into people wasn’t scripted, he just actually ran into some extras while he was running and they kept it in because the scene would have been too difficult to reshoot.
Couple of fun facts about this epic scene. 1. At 3:19 you see 3 random solders in full uniform ahead of the advancing lines with no guns. They were the camera operators that were following schofiled through the trench and then climbed the trench and mounted the camera onto a vehicle for the running scene. They couldn’t get out of shot quickly enough so Sam Mendez decided to blend them in to the advancing soldiers as soldiers themselves. 2. When Schofield collided with the running soldiers this was accidental and wasn’t meant to happen. But as the scene was filmed in one take they couldn’t stop rolling so he just had to get up and keep running.
@@Special17782 i could see it too, three guys without guns at the front, but even then by the time he started to make a run for it, they were far away from him or the moving truck
0:23 Michael Jibson who plays Lieutenant Hutton in this scene was the face model and voice actor for Wilson, Clyde Blackburn's sidekick in Battlefield 1's War Story, "Friends in High Places". Edit: He also played Lyle Porter in Flyboys, all of three take place in WW1 and all take place in the year 1917. Convenient.
Especially in theatres, I actually collapsed from exhaustion after that scene and everyone helped me out when it was all over. Me and my grandmother reunited with the same audience in February 2020 for our second viewing and I didn’t faint. Post 2020 was the best
The thing about moments like this in movies is that the epicness and deep feeling is earned by the entire long journey that was taken until that very moment.
@@Mdude181 , right, I saw in a video that they were put in costume since there was no way to keep them out of the shot (once the truck with the camera rig took the camera from them and started moving), and that they were delighted to get extra pay as extras for that day's shooting.
Despite that we know it was a trap and that the Germans were counting on the British attacking, you could be forgiven for thinking the attack was going well and that the first wave had been somewhat successful in that the left flank had reached the German line and had fired signal flares which they were only supposed to do once they had taken their objective i.e. the German trenches. The Colonel thought he had the Germans on the run and wanted to make a decisive breakthrough which the Allies had spent the last 3 years trying and failing to do at great cost, something that the Colonel most likely witnessed and hated seeing. You can see why the Colonel was reluctant to stop the attack now that he had the opportunity (his belief that the Germans were on the run) and the flexibility (with the phone lines being down and no-one to countermand his orders) to attack and hopefully make a breakthrough and maybe, just maybe, end the war.
The Germans moving to the Hindenburg line wasn't really a trap. The Germans moved there in an attempt to prevent further losses, having suffered too many losses at Verdun & the Somme. However it didn't obviously mean the British and French didn't fight them there. And even if they did win, the war wouldn't end automatically. It is far more complicated than that. When a side loses they would have to come to an agreement with the victors on signing the treaty's which would take time. Germany very nearly won in 1918 with the Spring Offensive as they made their biggest move since 1914 until the Americans intervened and Germany being outnumbered and no match against the 'freshness' of the Americans who were fitter due to arriving in 1917 knew they lost and had no alternative but to surrender, thus causing the birth of the infamous Treaty of Versailles in November 1918 as terms took months to be official.
I cannot imagine the very fact that the moment you leave the trenches, you are literally on a suicide mission. You are either going to get killed or wounded at literally any second.
The sad situation for all infantry in the Great War. The Tank and Aircraft were in their infancy not ready to free the men from the trenches and No Man's Land to give "fighting" chance. It would be another 21 years and another world War to change all that.
Who the F are those guards outside the bunker not letting a dude with obvious urgent official orders in to the room. A dude comes with an official letter with clear urgency and you just shut them down?
Because those trenches were full of young people who wanted to stay alive. I think there were many young lads trying to do everything to avoid being killed. Maybe they thought he was just an another "coward" trying to fool them. And you cant just let everyone enter command room just because he says something about a letter.
@@patrikmalorynope it was just bad writing, unless that coward wants to get shot a week later for treason they wouldn’t have bothered and that’s assuming the ofificer doesn’t just shoot him himself
Its a microcosm of how WW1 broke out. Once mobilisation orders were given, everyone was racing to mobilise. The machine was almost impossible to stop once it started grinding into life. Everyone - ordinary soldiers, NCOs, officers - is just doing their job, just one little cog in the machine. Its like pulling the trigger of a gun...some mechanical steps follow the pulling of the trigger, but its practically impossible to stop them once the initial decision is made.
If ur referring to the soldier who couldn’t speak and was hysterical , I can only imagine it was a very common occurrence these men arnt killers they are everyday folk exposed to extreme horrors and expected to keep a level head , no surprise that a lot couldn’t I know I couldn’t

It’s crazy to think Jack Marston had to go through this solely because he just had to choose revenge and kill Edgar Ross. If he hadn’t done that the government would not of declared him a suspect in Edgar Ross’s death, forcing him to go on the run, falling in with a small gang of outlaws. Few years he got captured and had to take a deal with Archer Fordham to fight in World War I as his sentence as opposed to sitting in prison for life or hanging. At least Archer was a man of his word, and when Jack got back, he was officially declared a freeman by the US government with the right documents to prove it. Then went on to live a happy life in peace and died a successful old rancher who also had a few best selling books.
The movie was great, for me mainly because of the one-shot camera style...Great. That scene could have become epic but they failed.... One can see that all are running according to camera movement and not by a general assault why was that tackle @ 03:20 that lethal? impacts @ 03:35 did strange damage...all are jumping..
Great way to show how MANY soldiers were there. Yes, you can talk about 100 oder 1000 men. But seeing the protagonist passing soldiers for MINUTES is another thing. Also tragic: a shell hit the trench and people die. No one screams. Obe one bats an eye. Most guys there are so traumatized that they are just existing.
Imo both are good. This movie is great in its storytelling and direction. All Quiet On the Western Front is great in its anti war message. Sure it had clichés, but it’s cause it showed Paul over the duration of the war, to finally kill him at the most pointless time to illustrate an anti war message
The captain at 2:10 shouting HOLD FAST to encourage the men always gives me goosebumps
He's a sergeant. He has the tree stripes on his arm.
I thought he was saying HOLD FIRM
he really gave that his all 👏
Coz u r a sixer
Admire the NCO at 2:18, at least he is willing to listen to what Schofield has to say and shows earnest concern for his safety.
that's not an NCO. if you look at his sleeves, he is a Lieutenant. notice one stripe with two diamonds (forgot proper terms for it)
it's even more astonishing that an officer is caring for schofield, who is not even on his regiment
@@derpythespythe mateship increases 10000% when the lads were preparing to go over the top together all the had was each other to rely on 😢
As a Lieutenant he probably thought there was reason some soldier from 8th without any helmet rifle or kit so he would atleast hear him out
@@derpythespyThere are no chevrons but the diamonds are called pips
Different type of men. Ones no help, Ones cying, and ones just like "yeh mate down the end, take a left you cant miss him, have a good day bro"
