Aside from the wrong era of equipment for this period of the war and post war battledress on some, this was still incredibly well done, mostly the dialogue and cinematography and the special effects.
Wrong Brit rifle for the 1940 fight in France ... the easiest to recognize difference is that unlike the earlier SMLE, that had a nose cap, the No 4 Lee-Enfield (carried by the actors) rifle barrel protruded from the end of the forestock. It wasn't adopted until 1941 and not available in quantity until later in the War ...
Very good story and acting about the misfortunes of War. When defeated, who wants to fight on? When moral is low, who can fight on? When there is the ultimate confrontation with the enemy, this shows in how they resist, thus very badly. Emotions are taking over, training and determenation are lost. No heroes in this confrontation, but raw reality, and it is bad. War is humans own most terrible nightmare. We can stop it, but we are not able to do so. One thing to mention; the War in the West did start in may, all trees are green in that period. Here the trees are still bare, must be march or so. Otherwise, very well made!
Thanks for the profound words! You totally get what the film is about though and that's great to see :D The film was initially inspired by a Tim O'Brien quote 'If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie.' and we really wanted to communicate the essence of this. Haha very sharp eye there, we did film early March (had our hands tied on that one!)
It was surely a very well made film, showcasing the madness and impossibilities of war. No one truly knows what their reaction will be, in a confrontation of that scale, no matter their temperament, or training. Congratulations on a truly impressive job!!!
So true, that's what I had learnt from the autobiography the film is inspired by. War is chaos. But thank you for your comment, really does mean a lot to us:)
