One of the most powerful moving endings of all time. I was devastated. My wife found it sad but couldn't quite understand my reaction. The poem was about a man for a man who'd experienced the joys of youth and blessed to be whole observing incredible loss. Davies will be missed. RIP.
The performances, music and poetry in this final scene give me goosebumps - Capaldi portrays perfectly how the older Sassoon is still haunted many years later by his experiences and Lowden’s performance of devastation as the younger Sassoon is extremely moving.
Brought me to tears the first time I saw it. As a poet who struggles with living "for eternity" while all of my peers live for the moment, I profoundly related to this whole film.
Wilfred Owen is among the greatest poets/writers in the history of mankind.It is very sad that he was taken so painfully earlier in his life.Surely this God gifted artist would have gone on to contribute so much more to the literary world..
This film is the perfect accompaniment to Pat Barkers Regeneration trilogy . And the movie of the same name. Sassoon was right when he described Wilfred Owen as ‘perhaps the greater poet’.
'Sassoon waited in vain for word from Owen, only to be told of his death several months later. The loss grieved Sassoon greatly, and he was never "able to accept that disappearance philosophically." [Sassoon, Siegfried: "Siegfried's Journey", p. 72, Faber and Faber, 1946.]... In his own account of his friendship with Owen, which appeared in his 1945 autobiography, Siegfried's Journey, Sassoon writes that Owen's death created "a chasm in my private existence" [Sassoon, Siegfried (1983). Siegfried's Journey (2nd ed.). London: Faber and Faber. p. 72.]'... 🖤🖤 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilfred_Owen

Just watched the movie today. This scene haunts me.
I got home and totally broke down

I have to visit this scene every one in a while to remind me to be thankful for what I have.
Incredible poem and a heartbreaking scene
