About the Indian soldier - during WW1, the British Empire mobilised over 1,000,000 Indian soldiers, of whom at least 74,000 died.
@apulrang9 ай бұрын
Yes. It was a very good, realistic touch to include that Indian soldier. Not many WWI movies do that ... or WWII movies for that matter. There were tons of African troops too, there from British and French colonies, possibly others too I suppose. How invested they were in the bigger causes varies I suppose ... but then lots of soldiers from their own countries struggled with "Why we fight" as well, especially in World War I where it was a bit harder than in World War II to identify definite villains.

Most Indian forces actually served in the middle east, especially in Iraq and Arabia, because the Ottoman empire threatened the British supply lines through the suez canal, and in Africa, where there were threats due to German colonies. there were also threats to the western Indian border, which at that time was roughly the afghanistan border and the tribal areas of what is now pakistan. Only a small number of Indians served on the western front as infantry, all in Inidan units with british officers who spoke the language of their indian units. Most served as cavalry, which wasnt used in the trenches but was used in a few notable battles, although some indian cavalry occassionally fought as infantry in the trenches. In reality, the Indian guy in this movie is a bit representative only, rather than historical. He's possible, but highly unlikely. Most Indians from Britain at the time would have been recruited into the navy to work as cooks and cleaners on ships (which positions were, weirdly, civilian contractors) or into support services.

One of the saddest things with the movie is that at the end of it, there's still a year and a half before the war even ends. And in between this, we have the horrors of Arras, Passchendaele, Cambrai, and the German Spring Offensive, thus throwing into doubt the fates of many of the characters we have encountered.

I love that they managed to make this look like two long shots, but I also appreciate that they weren't completely reliant on that technique. My favourite thing about this film is that it really puts into perspective how difficult things were back in the war, instead of glorifying it like many other films do. I also love that director Sam Mendes created this film based on stories he was told, because I really love it when people create something really personal to them. BTW Mary, I love that you pointed out that George MacKay was also in the 2003 version of Peter Pan. That's my favourite version as well.

One of the all-time greatest uses of "long" takes.

Helicopters weren't invented until the 1940s. Scofield didn't want to go on leave because of the psychological toll it would take to go back to the war. It's not because he didn't like his life at home. It's easier for some to stay acclimatised to the horror. That's why a lot of veterans struggle with civilian life when they come home.

So Remember when Schofield got his hand caught on the barbed wire at the beginning of the movie? WWI was before penicillin so a lot of guys died from infection after being cut by old rusty barbed wire. Having been around for awhile Schofield had likely seen that with his own eyes. Not to mention that hand being plunged into a rotting body not soon after. I think one of the major reasons why Schofield pushes himself so damn hard is that he likely knew he was a dead man walking, once Blake died that was it, if Schofield didn't deliver the message then nobody would have.

Schofeld's big run at the end did prompt the charge, you can hear the CO blow the whistle after he exposes himself, as he basically gave up any potential for surprise. Also, the actor wasn't actually supposed to collide with the soldiers. The extras knocked him down and like Forrest Gump, he just kept on run-nin-guh. And cinematographer Roger Deakins is a professional mad lad. He actually made the sun come out for that final moment of Schofeld looking at his family photo after meticulously shooting only during overcast conditions for the rest of the film

When Schofield is running across the field to deliver the message to Colonel Mackenzie, and he knocks down the soldier, it wasn’t planned. The timing got off, and the extra ran into George MacKay unintentionally, and it actually happened another time, so they kept it in rather than reshooting the scene since it was a hassle to that specific scene multiple times.

There probably weren't that many Indians living in Britain at this time (most came here after the second world war during the 60s, 70s and 80s). The British Empire still controlled India, so regiments from India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand etc. and all across the Empire were formed to either bolster the British regiments fighting on several fronts, or to defend the various territories that required garrisons (because the regiments that would have been there normally had been pulled away to fight on the Western Front, at Gallipoli etc.). Several Indian regiments fought on the Western Front, it's likely that the guy in the truck at 18:46 was stranded from his battalion during a previous battle the same way Scofield is out of place here, and the guy just joined up with other friendly forces to continue the fight. Random soldiers did often get stranded from their units if they couldn't get back to their trench line, or they were sent on patrols or missions, and their unit had moved on to other battles before they made it back again.

One of the many jobs that Alfred H Mendes carried out in WW1 was as a courier. So much like Corporals Blake and Schofield in this movie, Mendes would have been delivering important life saving messages between trenches. So its plausible that something like this would have happened to Mendes though its likely he would have been more of a Schofield than a Blake in that he would not have had a personal reason to deliver a message like Blake did.

The saddest thing about watching the end of the movie is if you're knowledgable about that war, you know Scho's chances of surviving the war were very low. The next 19 months (April 1917 to November 1918) would see the British gain 5 miles of territory after 3 months at the loss of 250,000 dead, wounded and missing. In early 1918, the German counter-offensive took all that territory back and drove the Allies 40 miles back. Then when German exhaustion and casaulties ended their advance, the Allies (bolstered and led by fresh American Armies) had to retake everything. Then they had attack through the heavy defenses of the Hindenburg line. Soldiers continued to die up until the last minute literally, even though the Armistice was set and known.The last British soldier to die, ironically, was a veteran who had survived over 4 years on the Western Front. Private George Edward Ellison, killed at 9:30 AM on November 11, 1918 on the outskirts of Mons, Belgium. He had fought at Mons in August 1914 with the original British Expeditionary Force at the start of the war. So the best chance Scho would have of surviving the war would be if that barbed wire wound got infected enough to warrant amputation of his hand. Then he could have gone home, less a hand. Unless some asshole officer accused him of self inflicting a wound and had him shot! Another common occurrence in the British army of World War One!

Btw the helicopter wasnt invented for another 22 years after when this is set and although the were used in ww2 they were not common. Veitnam in the 60s was the first was time they were common in war. Thats why you never see the in ww1 or ww2 movies.

Also you mentioned Indian people "fighting with England" The English army hasn't existed for 316 years. They were fighting with the British. There was even an Scotsman on the truck. Fed up of people blanketing the whole uk with just England there are 4 counties that make up the UK and her Armed forces.
