Peter Jackson's Military Treasures • FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@rustykilt]

I was absolutely blown away by the work THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD. Mr Jackson deserves to be applauded for this wonderful production which brings WWI to us in a way never seen before and is a brilliant achievement.

[@panzerlieb]

There are very few movies that I regard as important to humanity. “They shall not grow old” is one of them. It restores and preserves the memory of that terrible war in marked detail. “Lest we forget - lest we forget!”

[@rustykilt]

@@panzerlieb Seeing this movie/Documentary brings to life those flickering stilted images of a War largely forgotten by todays generation. Those men now seem totally relevant as if this was a video from only a previous decade and not 100 years ago. These men are now seen in a new light.

What appears very interesting about Peter Jackson is that he has attempted to bring the dreams of his childhood to life: from stories about his grandfather's experiences, model planes, and the books that he read as a young boy in his films. Well done!

Gee, all the books I read as a young boy are now banned! All the woke idiots have declared many books RACIST!

I am a model builder and have many of Wing Nut Wings kit sets. Unfortunately the company closed down in March of 2020 amid many rumours and little confirmed facts but they are top notch kits. Mr. Jackson's passion for quality had translated into those models as it does for all of his projects. I just hope that this magnificent collection of artifacts and historical builds can remain protected against any financial issues that could threaten their existence. It is an amazing feat to have collected and created such works in one place.

How so much has changed. He said on inquiry of ' what were the Germans like Grandad'? to which he said 'the Germans like beer and sausages, and so do I, the Germans love their Mothers and God, and so do I, but we both hate politicians' how little has changed.

The ones they flew in this, are actually on (I believe) permanent display when they aren't being flown or restored. I've been there as it's in my hometown and it's amazing
