But war is a horrible scenario. No one of these men would wanted to be there again. They survived, cold, hunger, diseases, most of them came back without legs, an eye, an arm. They had traumas and a lot of issues associated withit. They stayed for several days in trenches, without food or water. And obviously they fought with the "enemy": immersed in a storm of bullets and toxic gas, watching their friends die in front of their eyes. At the same time, their families had barley food, and had to work for entire days. And although this all, there were announcements saying literally: "the kitchen is the key to victory EAT LESS BREAD" they were given *a piece* of bread to distribute in a family and they even got told to eat less.

The aristocratic families of Europe and Britain traded in everything dirty that returned massive profits so they could lead a life of pleasure and power, eg; slavery, drug dealing, theft of native lands and possessions etc. Which was all then converted into an easier tradable commodity, money!

Looks incredible. No idea how he managed it. I restore old photographs and can take hours on one frame.

[@jordanstewart2455]

From my understanding that used computer technology to restore and color the footage. The director even stated in one of the interviews that the program was able to add in extra frames from some film reels by analyzing the movements and making corrections where needed.

[@wilkowilkins363]

Listening to Peter Jackson .. the frames that are missed by the old cameras that make it jerky and make the movements fast have been added by computer technology so that the movements are much more real and slow it all down. It makes the men so much more human. Also they used forensic lip readers to add the correct speech from the original footage ... Quite quite incredible

[@theOCmankn]

what about the sound effects, were they added from a different program or they used original sound?

Grandfather,a US Dough-boy, was in C company, fought in the battle of the Hindenburg line. He was captures and sent to a POW camp. His daily rations included a small loaf of bread which was made from, get this, potato skins and saw dust. On his last day of imprisonment, before he was shipped back to the States, he kept one loaf as an example to show the folks back home what he survived on for 18 months. This loaf should be on display in the National Prisoner of War Museum in Andersonville, Georgia. The family donated it posthumously in his name. My name.

[@Dimitrivv007]

@@t0zic416 what if they showed only the footage of them smiling xd

[@craigpelton6134]

Likely a combination of reasons. 1. Cameras were much more of a novelty then than they are now, so it's likely that when the soldiers knew they were being filmed they reacted accordingly, as one might having never been filmed before - giddy. 2. Some of the footage shown on this newsreel looks as though it may have been taken at the end of the war (note the german helmets). Additionally, alot of the footage in this newsreel looks as though its not taken during times of engagement, and the soldiers, like any group of people would, are just keeping themselves busy and entertained. I would be careful not to takeaway from this that "war so filled with joy"; WWI, at the time, was the worst and most brutal conflict in human history.

What truly pops out at me is the jolly expressions and energy of these men, going to war or living in it and yet just taking these moments to smile, have a smoke, joke around and act like they're living happily and spritely. I'm sure they've chosen these segments on purpose, but given the circumstances... how horrible the war was and the absolutely traumatic effect it had on so many of these men mentally and physically. These men, including the men who would later fight in WWII, were truly a different generation. Many of them were far from professionals or cut-out for war unlike today's modern militaries - yet they went in and got the job done.
