I highly recommend that you google showing times around your area. Go and spend the 90 minutes. Then spend the 30 minutes after the movie to watch how they did it. Equally as fascinating.
Anyone interested in WWI and/or good documentary movie-making should be on the lookout for the next national showing.

I'm trying to go back and watch some past Oscar winners and other critically acclaimed stuff that I haven't seen before. This past weekend I watched Raging Bull for the first time.. It did not hold up well, IMO. Of course there was no way it could live up to the hype, but I was expecting at least something that I would say "I'm glad I watched that." I was wrong.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

It's a very fine and important movie, having seen it just last week as well--it's a shame the producers lack the confidence to put it into wide release. Awe were both very surprised that, despite the almost unbelievable horrors of life in the trenches, several of the interviewees said the experience was the best time of their lives (perhaps that's more of a reflection of a dismal post-war existence). Also, it was evident that the cliche of bad British dental hygiene was fully deserved.

I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostHa, I've been waiting for someone to chime in on this, as I felt the same way but wondered if it was "just me," given the universal acclaim and front-runner status the movie seems to be getting. Initially, I stopped watching a third of the way in (shortly after the boyfriend was doing his martial arts thing in the buff with his junk flapping around--sorry for the spoiler everyone). But after the nominations were announced, I finished watching, more out of a sense of duty than enjoyment. As with all things Cuaron, it's beautifully staged and filmed, but sooooo humdrum. But I admit I gained a deeper appreciation for the lead's performance when I read that this was her first acting job ever, that they did the hospital scene in one take without her having been given a script and not knowing what was going to happen, and that the beach scene was done without her being able to swim, even though she told Cuaron she could. So, hat's off to her, but overall, kind of a snooze. I invite the other film buffs here to set me straight."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic
