GeordieSaint 5,649 Report post Posted January 13 I know there is a film thread but thought this film deserved its own topic. If you haven't seen it yet, do so. Great film. Incredibly powerful and moving. I am not ashamed to say I shed a couple of tears at one point. Sam Mendes has directed a brilliant film. Go and watch it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerrumonside ref 1,788 Report post Posted January 13 I saw this with my father on Sunday and thought it was very powerful indeed. There was added poignancy as my grandfather (a very young soldier at the time of WW1 who I never knew) was involved in the fighting around this time of the war. It certainly made both my father and I emotional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Doffarf 290 Report post Posted January 13 Saw it today. Brilliantly directed and photographed, extremely powerful stuff. The two young leads did an excellent job too. 1 Quote And when they found our shadows Grouped around the TV sets They ran down every lead They repeated every test They checked out all the data on their lists And then the alien anthropologists Admitted they were still perplexed But on eliminating every other reason For our sad demise They logged the only explanation left This species has amused itself to death No tears to cry no feelings left This species has amused itself to death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tim2 1,950 Report post Posted January 13 Agreed. The sets are amazing, as is the cinematography. The direction and writing are top class too.

It is however edited to appear as one shot like the movie Birdman. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
