So Many TEARS! *1917* Is The Most Immersive War Film | MY FIRST TIME WATCHING!

[@stevenkaye1625]

Your reactions, especially your incredible appreciation for the way things are shot and presented makes me appreciate the film even more!

[@joesixpack8305]

I'm 65 years old. My entire life I wanted to see what the soldiers saw in WW1 but in a real time facsimile. All we had to this point was old black and white films, grainy documentaries with herky jerky movements and no sound. I wanted to see the trenches. No Man's Land, The torn up towns. The hell they saw. This movie delivered my wishes in spades. My Grandfather (a sergeant in charge of an artillery unit) left his leg in a place very near Ecouste in WW1. He got blown off his motorcycle in the French countryside and his leg got tore up by a German shell like the ones in this movie. No one knows how long he laid there. Long enough for gangrene to set in. He died in 1986 and for 68 years the man never uttered a single word about his war experience. Not to anyone...my grandmother, my father, no one. The only way we knew he was in the war was his chest of war items, his missing leg, and the tears he cried when he heard the national anthem. I always wanted to see what he saw. This movie did that.

[@Frozenbucky]

@joesixpack8305 You're so brave, and so is your grand dad. I hope he's resting in heaven. I salute him for his bravery and thank you for sharing your story

[@Erika.N.D]

My great grandfather was a cavalry officer in ww1. Got shot through the right eye in a recon ambush. Somehow survived. Spent 4 years in a camp, eating rats. When my grandfather left to occupy Germany in 1949, my great grandfather only said one thing. 'Don' t come home with a German'.

[@thestratman9]

I want to recommend a film to you that I think you will really enjoy. It is a documentary by Peter Jackson called "They Shall Not Grow Old." Look up the trailer to the film to get an idea of what it will be like, but based on what you wrote, I think you'll appreciate it.

[@Erika.N.D]

@thestratman9 I saw that! Great documentary, great advice. And best title he could have chosen. Did you also see the documentary he did on the air duels where pilots used his private collection of WW1 planes? Restored or replica' s, I do not remember. But it was epic.

[@daveenberg9075]

I'm 64 and my Grandfather also fought in WW1 (Ypres. The Somme, Vimy Ridge, Arras, Amiens and The Hundred Day Offensive) and he rarely spoke of it. A few years ago I found his memoirs and what these men endured was unimaginable. They may be gone now but never forgotten.

[@joeybossolo7]

“Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne, He travels the fastest who travels alone.” It’s not a riddle. It’s a fragment from the iconic English poem “The Winners”, by Rudyard Kipling. Gehenna was a valley near biblical Jerusalem where children were sacrificed to the war god Molech. In the Bible, Jesus used the word "Gehenna" to describe a place of eternal punishment for those who are separated from God. In many English translations, "Gehenna" is translated as "hell". The throne refers to God’s kingdom. So he’s essentially telling them that regardless where of those two places they’re going, they’re best doing it alone.

It wasn't until watching reactions like this did I realize that this film is basically Tommen Baratheon rushing to save Robb Stark, with King George VI, Professor Moriarty, Merlin, and Sherlock Holmes. The idea of having the A-List actors as the officers shows how important they are compared to the lesser known actors.

[@Gopniksquat]

There's an incredible documentary by Peter Jackson called 'They Shall not Grow Old' that colorizes and modernizes the frame rates of real WW1 footage. If you're interested in the history of WW1, highly recommend it

This was an amazing documentary/movie.

[@williamaultman9988]

Colette, your keen eye for cinematography, make your reactions fascinating. Your appreciation and respect for veterans means everything. William T. Aultman, SMSgt USAF (Ret). A suggestion for another War movie (WWII), is "When the Trumpets Fade". A soldier's struggle with courage and coward and the thin red line that separates the two!

[@martin43427]

Definitely recommend 12 Years a Slave (2013. Based on a true story it’s one of those movies that depicts such an accurate and horrifying portrayal of America’s sin in slavery. It’s a gigantic tear jerker but such an important and powerful film that captures such a dark chapter of our country’s history.

I have commented to you before and every time you say something very nice to us combat vets and every time it lifts my heart. I don't have the words to tell you how much of an outstanding person you are. ( your honor is clean ) thank you for this and may God bless the rest of your life.

[@Tiefschlag]

Bought this movie in 4k after seeing it somewhere. So immersive! The importance of this time was overlooked for decades. To understand the importance of those years right would be awesome. But this is not the goal of this great movie and it is fine! It is about a specific and true event in history and the journey of 2 soldiers who try to do their jobs basicially. No politics or too much morality. It is about saving lifes. The story feels so real because of that. This movie does not need too much explanation, I believe. Many thanks Miss Cherry!

[@joshuamattingly1232]

To answer your questions about the weight of both the rifles carried by our protagonists during the film and the equipment they’re carrying. The Rifle is the Lee Enfield SMLE III which weighed about 8 pounds and 10 ounces, or 3.9 KG, and the average weight for what your standard British soldiers kit would be if he was fully supplied with everything would be around 70 pounds or 32kg. So yeah they’re carrying essentially close to 80 pounds of kit every day everywhere.

[@oteroair]

My Hunting Rifle, which is a rifle pressed into service was always a hunting rifle with massive take down power is the Enfield 1917 pattern 12, .303 British. With volley sites. Heavy enough to still be useful even on empty, metal butt plate

[@michaelradel2405]

You are a real person, young woman! This is the second of your reaction videos I’ve watched and my admiration for your capacity to know and feel what is happening continues to grow. I am the old Aussie bloke who spoke to you about my life in my earlier comment. This is the first time I’ve viewed the story of this film. Thank you for reviewing it. You’re the right person to respond to these heart rendering war stories. You are both very intelligent and can quickly sum up what is going on as well as being very sensitive and compassionate. Cheers and thank you. I look forward to catching another of your posts. God bless 🌹🤩👍🦘👍🐨🦘🤠🌷🌹⭐️

[@taraldomland8657]

Just about your question about creeping rats out of the trenches, they didn’t, Rat was maybe the most common food in the Great War at the battlefield. The shells are capsule leftovers from all the rounds the artillery has fired. Millions would be used daily

[@MauriceCalis]

Colette - amazing how they planned all of these shots to be continuous, and seamless between segments, so that the whole movie feels like one snot. They had to run thru lines and blocking first before digging trenches so that the timing would work out. Boy that incoming plane shot was incredible; and how his face turned white after being stabbed (wonder if the german pilot did the makeup). Btw, without knowing much about historical war planes, I would think the designs between air forces would be drastically different, being developed in separate countries. So styles would be easy to distinguish on the ground. I love the part when he recites the poem to the baby, so calming. And the flares - - - so much I could say, such a work of art!

[@isaacfletcher3067]

As smeone with a history degree Colette this one blew me away, your review as always hits so hard. Watching your engagement is also my fav, you react and get sucked in.

[@bradbutcher8762]

War Horse is also a very great WW1 movie. There isn't many of them in modern cinema, so these two are masterpieces...they say to understand WW2, you have to fully understand WW1 and conflicts before dating back to Napolean and beyond. I really like your channel ❤

[@scottiepatterson4251]

Agreed. War Horse is probably Spielberg's most under appreciated films. It deserves more reactions

[@WorldT]

this movie was done so well it was filmed all in one take almost, glad you enjoyed

[@MrHiragasaito]

My great-grandfatherr was there, and he managed to survive all that hell thanks to that message. Unfortunately he is no longer with us to see this movie with him, I am sure he would have liked to see it.❤

[@JS-wp4gs]

They didn't keep the rats from infesting the trenches.. Wasn't possible to do. With all the dead bodies all over the place they were everywhere and frequently got as large as big house cats and would attempt to chew on living people while they were asleep at times. Particularly if they'd oiled their feet to help keep them from getting waterlogged in wet weather, they'd wake up with a giant rat trying to chew on their toes. That oil story was absolutely accurate To be fair the pilot was probably panicking having just crashed and been on fire and acted without thinking too clearly. Generally pilots wouldn't have reacted like that under most circumstances

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

I definitely recommend the behind the scenes on this one. The logistics and how they planned for these shots is really intricate. They needed to know how much distance would be covered and make sure that one filming location would tie seamlessly into the next and that each was suitable for the scene. They had to consider weather and cloud cover when shooting. They marked distances and built scale models where they'd even test lighting and plan out the shots. They had to dig miles of trench. The camera was frequently moved from steady cam rigs to crane rigs and such mid shot. The legendary Roger Deakins was the DP on this film, bringing over 40 years of experience. What him and Sam Mendes accomplished is one the greatest film making feats of all time.

[@davidgreene805]

if you're open to branching out in the tearjerkers movies, there's a good low budget UK film that has an ex-army guy returning home and has a particular issue to work through. Its best not to know more to avoid spoiling it. It stars and was co-wrote by Paddy Considine (from House of the Dragon) in one of his first roles. Its called Dead Man's Shoes.

[@fletchermoore5428]

One thing i love about this movie is it starts and ends with Schofield leaning against a tree thinking about home. The worst part is, its 1917. Some of the worst battles of WW1 haven't even been fought by then.

[@snookyookum]

Maybe your best commentary yet as you continue to grow and mature as a reactor and witness to the nightmare that is human conflict. I think this movie, among other things, shows the permanent and devastating damage done to individual soldiers during even the more mundane tasks like walking through waterlogged shell crater or investigating a burned out hulk of a building. I was with you as your heart broke and you healed it on the way to the next trauma. Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@superdude7445]

my favorite detail of the filming process is when the 2 of them go in to a mortar hole and walk around the water the camera man is walking straight and gets on a boat and goes across the water... its so smooth and super impressive

[@ironblu4110]

Awesome reaction and the lack of cuts certainly adds a high level of immersion! I'd hoped you would add 1917 to your list of war films. I would also recommend watching War Horse, a highly underrated film which follows the life of a horse during outbreak and subsequent years of World War One. There are very few reactions to it on youtube which I think is a great shame.

[@saiien2]

I liked the small reminder of "All quiet on the Western front" here. The German he suffocated was named "Baumer". Paul Baumer was the whole name of Paul in All quiet on the Western front.

Colette, aircraft were distinguished by physical profile/silhouette and by markings/insignia. Militaries had aircraft recognition charts/cards to assist visual identification. Military aircraft have roundels and other insignia painted on the aircraft to indicate nationality.

And of course, in WWI, they were just starting to use wireless radios; they weren’t widespread yet. Which is why they had to deliver the message in person.

Also, radios were unreliable and impossible to encrypt. Literally anyone with a radio could listen in on your traffic.

[@orlandobotney1359]

One of the things I really love about this movie is that they actually show soldiers of different ethnicities since the British military was pulling men from all corners of the empire and the dog fight. i'm not sure i had seen a big screen ww1 dogfight before this movie

[@roly9072]

Maybe the big shells are for the big artillery guns they are laying next to ;)

[@Milwaukee307]

You are a really cool person. I love watching your reaction to all of my favorite movies. It is nice to see that there are still people out there that support veterans like myself and are grateful for the sacrifices of the ones who paid the ultimate price. Most women these days have no idea how many men have fought and died for their freedom. Those .303 British Lee Enfield rifles weigh around 9-10 lbs by the way, I own a couple myself.

[@AgeOfAndrei]

12:28 Rats in WW1 were absolute nightmare but useful for soldiers in every fronts. Many soldiers had to survive through trench foot caused by rain, urine and poo mixed water that flooded in the trench. Lice caused for lack of hygeine like no showers. Rats crawled in the trenches, corpses of the soldiers and rotten foods. Most rats ate too much became the size of a new born puppy. So Soldiers had to kill and cook the rats as meat sometimes.

[@kimai1641]

It's such an art piece. This film is shot so well, and you're right it somehow doesn't feel like a war film.

[@coffee-xg6my]

Excellent, excellent reaction Collette!!! I like how you watched two WWI films back to back depicting the human perspective of common soldiers from opposing sides. May I suggest that you react to "Das Boot" (1981), another German made film about a submarine crew during WWII. "Das Boot" was written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen. It's based on the Novel by Lothar-Günther Buchheim' about his actual experiences aboard German submarine U-96. The movie received six Oscar nominations for Cinematography, Film Editing, Sound, Sound Effects Editing, and Writing. Today, the film is seen as one of the greatest German films ever made! I hope you check to out when you get the chance. And of course, just like with "All Quiet On The Western Front" it's best to watch it in the original German language with subtitles for the full authentic effect. "Das Boot" isn't just a German film about World War II; it's a German naval adventure epic that has already been a hit in West Germany. - Janet Maslin, The New York Times, 10 February 1982

[@Frost640]

You'll definitely have to watch the Making Of, they were VERY creative with making it feel seamless. Any time you don't see their faces it's a cut, they also had the walls and buildings come apart as the camera is on an arm to go through it etc. It's an impressive engineering feat to pull off what they did for this.

[@christopherdale1745]

It always warms my heart to hear you pay homage to veterans, and especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

15:43Idk fs but they look like sFH 18s. Howizter style artillery for mid to long range land bombardment. Shooting 105-150mm shells. I think they could reach like 5-10 miles. They create those craters big enough to be trapped in because of continuous hour long bombardments that literally change landscapes.

[@Shaun_J]

When he was talking about hating going home, I felt that. I’m currently active duty ( army) I can’t take Christmas leave this year, the feeling absolutely sucks

[@sayiansweet]

Your friendly Army active here. Lance Corporal Thomas "Tom" Blake was killed so quickly and couldn't be saved because of blood loss. I know that was obvious, but there is a gruesome fact about this kind of fate to Soldiers that most people do not realize. Almost ALL battle fatalities are caused by blood loss instead of the depicted "sudden deaths" that some films show. What is very interesting on top of this is that 96% of patients survive with a tourniquet placement before the onset of shock compared to four percent of patients who received a tourniquet later. This is done with Limb related injuries. However for those shot in center mass, head, pelvis (groin), or armpits have a higher chance of shock and blood loss deaths due to the nature of where major veins and arteries lie in the body, and are VERY hard to operate on in the field of battle to prevent loss of life. Today medical gauze is designed to clot blood using chemicals, and even has strips in the gauze for Doctors to see the bandage in the patient for removal. Even still center mass wounds are often times fatal if not treated quickly, and depending on the rounds impact or caliber.

[@Vinterfrid]

What if you'd listen more to the dialogue instead of constantly talking yourself? You know, short periods of silence are also important and part of a reaction.

[@joshuacordero8163]

Planes had insignias that were and still are unique to a country. By 1917 the average age of the infantry went up from early 20s to mid 30s. An entire of men were casualties. World War One gets overshadowed by the second, but the horrors and destruction of life cannot be overstated. There are to videos on KZbin that gives a visual of the total loss of life in both world wars: The loss of life in WW1 visualized by Real Life Lore channel. The shells were artillery rounds, massive artillery barrages would last for hours and days, destroying the landscape. The part with the girl and child almost broke, being a father and seeing her save strangers child it’s heavy, the true loss of war! Sam Mendes really pulled off an instant classic, his grandfather was the one that told him the stories.Thank you for sharing, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

[@HikingPNW]

Lance Corporal Thomas Blake who you said looked too young is played by Dean-Charles Chapman. He was born September 1997 and filming for this movie took place between April to June 2019. So the actor was still 19 when they filmed this so he would be about the right age considering his rank. I think people are used to seeing a lot of movies played by actors in their late 20s to even their early 40s but sadly war, especially when they get desperate and start the draft, largely is fought by people in their late teens and 20s.

The Thin Red Line is the most beautiful war movie ever made, and I come to find out that Chris Nolan agrees, He was interviewed about Dunkirk the actual event and his film, and he was asked what the best war movie was, and he noted this gem: US forces in the Pacific theater and just about everyone is in it: Sean Penn, John Travolta, Nick Nolte, John Cusack, George Clooney, Woody Harrelson., Jim Caviezel, Adrien Brody, Elias Koteas, Thomas Jane, and more. It's a meditative war film, so in that regard like The Last Samurai, by one of the master directors of our age Terrence Malick. Does a great job of weaving emotions, nature and modern warfare in a way I've not seen.

Since you're on a WWI film roll here, I suggest, as Christmas gets closer, you do a reaction to another one that's called "Joyeux Noël". It's from around 2014, and is also a German/French film, but has dialogue in German, French and English. It's a dramatization of the Christmas Armistice of 1914 that occurred during the start of WWI.

[@nedrini1055]

[@Natsymir]

I consider the Soviet 1985 film "Come and See" the greatest war film ever made, and many critics consider it one of the best films of all time. It's a very, very, very dark film though, painting a ghastly realistic picture of the atrocities on the WW2 Eastern Front. Some other great, less well-known war films are the Danish "Land of Mine" (2015), the Chinese "The Message" (2009) and "Back to 1942" (2012), and the German "Das Boot" (1981) and "Stalingrad" (1993).

When you want to take a break from war movies and crying check out "Strictly Ballroom", a truly funny, romantic, colorful, and entertaining movie. I'm a military history buff and own dozens of war movies on disc, but "Strictly Ballroom" is still one of my all time favorite movies. The trailer is here on KZbin but it just hints at how entertaining the movie is. It was the first feature film by director Baz Luhrmann who went on direct "Romeo + Juliet" with Leonardo DiCaprio, "Moulin Rouge!" with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, and "Elvis" with Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. Talk about a great script with interweaving plot lines, humor, secrets from the past, petty politics, scheming and backstabbing, and an ugly duckling to swan love story, all coming together in a thrilling climax, that movie has it all.

Hey Collete, greetings. Seeing you delve into war themed movies, I guess you should look into a particular one named "Silence" (2016), a movie directed by MARTIN SCORSESE bringing Andrew Garfield (Hacksaaw Ridge) as the protagonist again, alongside Liam Neeson and Adam Driver. Seeing how you enjoyed "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise, this one follows the same tone during feudal Japan, a land of mistery to foreigners. Two priests (Garfield and Driver) are catholic priests and they travel there to locate their mentor (Neeson) who's rumored to being captive because he was trying to spread Catholicism back in those dangerous japanese days. If foreigners used to be shunned just as we saw in "Last Samurai", now imagine priests trying to CONVERT the population into christianism? A delicate theme indeed. Take a look at the trailer. If interested, watch it.

Great reaction. My grandfather fought in WWI with the Northumberland Fusiliers and my father fought in WWII with the Coldstream Guards. Check out the movie 'The Longest Day' about the D Day landings.
