What an excellent film with a massive atmosphere,. It's hard to imagine how young men could come home and carry on without being seriously affected by what they had been through and this film captures some of those horrors.

[@HistoryBoy]

Great angles, great effects, great story! You deserve more subscribers dude! I think I will give you a shoutout soon!

Very moving and personal. I think one of the hardest realizations for soldiers on all sides of the conflict to face was that the enemies they were killing were not the dehumanized images state propaganda and the media were making them out to be.

[@dylangregory9855]

Why can't this be a full length movie! Just this ten minutes were awesome!

[@thecrazyyoutuber2017]

This is what War does to you. It mentally messes you up. I affects you. Your not the same person you were when you first entered the war.

[@piobmhor8529]

Shell shock, combat fatigue and PTSD (same thing, different wars) is one mean, cruel bastard of an affliction. A couple dear friends of mine will never lead a “normal” life because of it. Understanding that the person with PTSD cannot control the flashbacks, zone outs and nightmares. The best they can do is manage it. A broken leg can be set in a cast and can mend quite well as the human body is quite good at that. A broken spirit on the other hand doesn’t mend as easily.

Damn that was heart wrenching

[@ottovonbismarck8460]

Heart trenching

[@brentgraves1151]

That was awesome. Great job to you and your crew. Many brave Irishmen thought they survived the battle too only learn the battle goes on forever. Many brave Irishmen were killed for the shellshock the survived the battle with. May they rest in peace

[@TheJohnsoline]

wait. so was the boy he killed a Russian or a German ... or a 1980s time traveller?

[@lilnicho_9931]

Maybe it was a german who picked up some russian gear on the eastern front?

Beautifully shot and produced - it shows the real scars of war in a compassionate way. It's a cruel world.

Good and sad.... War experiance is never end. You back to the home War memories followe to you In Forever

[@LoserBroProductions]

I hate how in every ww1 movie or short film, it is always showing the allies point of view, and the Germans are fools just waiting to get shot. I wish we saw a German point of view in ww1. What were they seeing and experiencing in the trenches, what was there stories.

[@LoserBroProductions]

emosh73 Is that some kind of joke? How were the Germans evil in ww1.

[@LoserBroProductions]

emosh73 I am just a regular American who likes history.

[@LoserBroProductions]

emosh73 Why exactly do you think the Germans in WW1 were evil. Not the nazis, the ww1 germans.

[@LoserBroProductions]

emosh73 No, the allies were not the evil guys, neither were the central powers. World War 1 was not good vs evil, it was country vs country. The evil ones were the stupid commanders on top who didn't care about their soldiers, they just wanted to win. The fact that you think every war is just good vs evil proves you have a childish mind, and you are ignorant of history.

[@LoserBroProductions]

emosh73 Sure, if you want to be an ignorant mindless dumb ass, go ahead, but I have made my point.

[@jensfiedler1005]

May they all Rest In Peace. Those who didn't come back and those who did.

[@patrikarmyguy]

Great Film! sadly there are not many movies about irish ww1 veterans and their fight for a country that soon would´nt be theirs anymore...

[@williamacheson3569]

The Irish didn't even get home rule in the end which was the promise the British made to the Irish if they fought for them

[@CrazyDuckie94]

Fantastic movie The creators and actors should be proud This is exactly what I needed to help me with my novel x so thankyou

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

Yes good, though there was some mistakes with the uniform. In WW1 the soldiers wore puttees wound the leg from the ankle to the knees, these are absent in the movie.

[@jasonnicholasschwarz7788]

This is an older comment, but have you finished your book? What*s it about exactly?

[@CurseTheDarkness]

The film shows the modern description of PTSD: a traumatic event, the triggering of the memory of that event and the automatic unconscious re-enactment of the trauma (choking the enemy soldier/choking the bar customer). Unfortunately talking about the memory and avoidance of alcohol are necessary to treat it.

[@janhayes5838]

I agree and also the farmers & people who lived in thr area

[@neighborhoodturnt]

Dang this is actually pretty good

[@bazbarovic9201]

It was a great short film, very well acted.

[@dylangregory9855]

Why isn't this full length movie yet? That was really good

[@tanksrawsome59]

Excellent film, the one criticism (and it's constructive) is that the German Padraig was wrestling had an M91 Mosin Nagant which is a Russian rifle. Otherwise I can't fault the film.

[@tanksrawsome59]

***** I never noticed but you're right.

[@pdzlatan]

You're right, major weapon for the German infantry is Gewehr 98 in WW1. The Kar 98K is used in the WW2.

[@Moviesonus5]

Great film but another inaccuracy was the gas mask the German soldier was wearing he was wearing a soviet gp5 not a m17

[@oddjobsjin1006]

Guys look I know you could get the Actual WW1 Equipment and Weapons but just think how expensive that would have been I searched up a couple of weeks ago and a Gewehr 98 is like $505.00 dollars for a rifle and some equipment would have went atleast to $1,500 so cut them some slack, it's not going to be perfect

[@brownbeaner8005]

oogif sesm i guess

[@saintkartano]

Magnificent film. The only constructive feedback I can offer is that it would be odd to see a German soldier carrying a Nagant.

[@Joe-gu6oe]

Acting out dreams!! Thankfully I haven't the strength in my dreams.

[@lilnicho_9931]

Thats some powerful shit right there.

[@greyr.4326]

Imagine having to kill someone in the war because you had to, and living with that for the rest of your life.

[@mercyb6500]

well done

Very nice work

[@vitorb.macarthy348]

Really good, but you used a mosin nagant inatead of a Smle or a gewehr 98, but really good movie

[@sharonrigs7999]

A German with a Mosin Nagant? Not even a period correct M91 but a 91/30! Great short film though

[@renguin6612]

I'm only like two seconds into a short film set in WWI and I already get a fireball explosion? I'm sorry, man, but I just can't do it. You very well could have told a moving story, shot beautiful science, and directed award-winning acting, but sadly I'll never know because you decided your opening scene needed the michael bay treatment.

[@winterfire4545]

[@easternblocreenacting6591]

+Victor Smith yes

[@FireMegaDragon]

they called it shell schock back then

[@Raygun222]

Yep.

[@thevenator3955]

shell shock was what they called it back then. but there are some differences. shell shock is in the moment, like when a shell lands right next to you and you go into shock (hence shell shock). post traumatic stress disorder is when the symptoms of shock continue long after the traumatic experience

[@JD-qx5fd]

There should be different variataions of ptsd, my dads a firefighter and has been one for 17 years, he works about 3/4 of the year and sees around 4 dead people every week, even to this day he saw 2 yesterday. He still drives on the same roads today where a month, year, decade ago he pulled bodies out of cars and had people die in his arms. He still goes to restaurants in town where a 11 month old died in his hands years ago, and he still lives in the same town where he has had 1000+ fatal calls over 17 years. Its different when you return from war and are now living half way across the world, he still lives and moves around where the traumatic events actually happened.

[@WinstonWenthworth]

why is he wearing 58 pattern webbing?! thats from the falklands war!

[@likesmilitaryhistoryalanmo9568]

Yes good, though there was some mistakes with the uniform. In WW1 the soldiers wore puttees wound the leg from the ankle to the knees, these are absent in the movie.

[@tabbyg8862]

The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation is in faith, but we must first realize that we're lost sinners and will die and burn in hell for eternity without Christ, once we see ourselves, all one needs to do is repent of their sins, and put their faith in God: believing with all their heart that He will forgive every sin. And asking Him to save their soul from hell with all faith and all sincerity! Believe in God and He will save you today!
