I had to know what that poem was in the trailer. It was written by English author and poet Rudyard Kipling and published in 1903. Boots" imagines the repetitive thoughts of a British Army infrantrymem forced to march in South Africa during the Second Boer War. It has been said that if the first four words in each line are read at the rate of two words to the second, that gives the time to which a British foot soldier was accustomed to march. The man reciting the poem is American actor Taylor Holmes in 1915. That's the recording used in the trailer. Gave it such an eerie feeling!
Omni-Blast for the awesome research! I was like you. I was wondering about that poem also. Because it's so effective to the narrative. And I felt it wasn't just some random words being spoken. It was actually something written before that had purpose. So, much appreciated, my sister. And great reaction also Kevin.🤙

100% agree that poem delivers what it is intended and sets the tone for the trailer and fits in perfectly with what Danny Boyle is trying to capture 😀
@KL-TEHQ Now that's how you do a trailer! Yes! It fit perfectly. I'm so hyped for this one.
