that's not an NCO. if you look at his sleeves, he is a Lieutenant. notice one stripe with two diamonds (forgot proper terms for it) it's even more astonishing that an officer is caring for schofield, who is not even on his regiment
Couple of fun facts about this epic scene. 1. At 3:19 you see 3 random solders in full uniform ahead of the advancing lines with no guns. They were the camera operators that were following schofiled through the trench and then climbed the trench and mounted the camera onto a vehicle for the running scene. They couldn’t get out of shot quickly enough so Sam Mendez decided to blend them in to the advancing soldiers as soldiers themselves. 2. When Schofield collided with the running soldiers this was accidental and wasn’t meant to happen. But as the scene was filmed in one take they couldn’t stop rolling so he just had to get up and keep running.
@@Special17782 i could see it too, three guys without guns at the front, but even then by the time he started to make a run for it, they were far away from him or the moving truck
I like to think he got knocked down and decided it was a good enough hit to get knocked out, and so he just decided to play unconscious. In regards to the actor, he was probably an extra, plus this was a one-shot scene where the messenger wasn't supposed to run into anyone. He probably decided just not moving was the best way to not mess up the scene.
Will wasn't meant to run into anyone when running. The extra didn't know what to do, so he just stayed down. And since the shot could only be done once, they kept it in the movie.
@@fauxbro1983 this scene actually was just one take. In fact the soldier bumping into people wasn’t scripted, he just actually ran into some extras while he was running and they kept it in because the scene would have been too difficult to reshoot.
The thing about moments like this in movies is that the epicness and deep feeling is earned by the entire long journey that was taken until that very moment.
0:23 Michael Jibson who plays Lieutenant Hutton in this scene was the face model and voice actor for Wilson, Clyde Blackburn's sidekick in Battlefield 1's War Story, "Friends in High Places". Edit: He also played Lyle Porter in Flyboys, all of three take place in WW1 and all take place in the year 1917. Convenient.
It's a great memorable scene . My great uncle was killed on the 1st july 1916. The very first day of the Somme offensive. They were told to walk to the german trenches because the high command believed that the german defences had been shattered after days of bombardment and the barbed wire had been cut .
Especially in theatres, I actually collapsed from exhaustion after that scene and everyone helped me out when it was all over. Me and my grandmother reunited with the same audience in February 2020 for our second viewing and I didn’t faint. Post 2020 was the best
Its a microcosm of how WW1 broke out. Once mobilisation orders were given, everyone was racing to mobilise. The machine was almost impossible to stop once it started grinding into life. Everyone - ordinary soldiers, NCOs, officers - is just doing their job, just one little cog in the machine. Its like pulling the trigger of a gun...some mechanical steps follow the pulling of the trigger, but its practically impossible to stop them once the initial decision is made.
I cannot imagine the very fact that the moment you leave the trenches, you are literally on a suicide mission. You are either going to get killed or wounded at literally any second.
Despite that we know it was a trap and that the Germans were counting on the British attacking, you could be forgiven for thinking the attack was going well and that the first wave had been somewhat successful in that the left flank had reached the German line and had fired signal flares which they were only supposed to do once they had taken their objective i.e. the German trenches. The Colonel thought he had the Germans on the run and wanted to make a decisive breakthrough which the Allies had spent the last 3 years trying and failing to do at great cost, something that the Colonel most likely witnessed and hated seeing. You can see why the Colonel was reluctant to stop the attack now that he had the opportunity (his belief that the Germans were on the run) and the flexibility (with the phone lines being down and no-one to countermand his orders) to attack and hopefully make a breakthrough and maybe, just maybe, end the war.
The Germans moving to the Hindenburg line wasn't really a trap. The Germans moved there in an attempt to prevent further losses, having suffered too many losses at Verdun & the Somme. However it didn't obviously mean the British and French didn't fight them there. And even if they did win, the war wouldn't end automatically. It is far more complicated than that. When a side loses they would have to come to an agreement with the victors on signing the treaty's which would take time. Germany very nearly won in 1918 with the Spring Offensive as they made their biggest move since 1914 until the Americans intervened and Germany being outnumbered and no match against the 'freshness' of the Americans who were fitter due to arriving in 1917 knew they lost and had no alternative but to surrender, thus causing the birth of the infamous Treaty of Versailles in November 1918 as terms took months to be official.
@@Mdude181 , right, I saw in a video that they were put in costume since there was no way to keep them out of the shot (once the truck with the camera rig took the camera from them and started moving), and that they were delighted to get extra pay as extras for that day's shooting.
The sad situation for all infantry in the Great War. The Tank and Aircraft were in their infancy not ready to free the men from the trenches and No Man's Land to give "fighting" chance. It would be another 21 years and another world War to change all that.
Who the F are those guards outside the bunker not letting a dude with obvious urgent official orders in to the room. A dude comes with an official letter with clear urgency and you just shut them down?
Because those trenches were full of young people who wanted to stay alive. I think there were many young lads trying to do everything to avoid being killed. Maybe they thought he was just an another "coward" trying to fool them. And you cant just let everyone enter command room just because he says something about a letter.
@@patrikmalorynope it was just bad writing, unless that coward wants to get shot a week later for treason they wouldn’t have bothered and that’s assuming the ofificer doesn’t just shoot him himself
Great way to show how MANY soldiers were there. Yes, you can talk about 100 oder 1000 men. But seeing the protagonist passing soldiers for MINUTES is another thing. Also tragic: a shell hit the trench and people die. No one screams. Obe one bats an eye. Most guys there are so traumatized that they are just existing.
If ur referring to the soldier who couldn’t speak and was hysterical , I can only imagine it was a very common occurrence these men arnt killers they are everyday folk exposed to extreme horrors and expected to keep a level head , no surprise that a lot couldn’t I know I couldn’t
It’s crazy to think Jack Marston had to go through this solely because he just had to choose revenge and kill Edgar Ross. If he hadn’t done that the government would not of declared him a suspect in Edgar Ross’s death, forcing him to go on the run, falling in with a small gang of outlaws. Few years he got captured and had to take a deal with Archer Fordham to fight in World War I as his sentence as opposed to sitting in prison for life or hanging. At least Archer was a man of his word, and when Jack got back, he was officially declared a freeman by the US government with the right documents to prove it. Then went on to live a happy life in peace and died a successful old rancher who also had a few best selling books.

The captain at 2:10 shouting HOLD FAST to encourage the men always gives me goosebumps
He's a sergeant. He has the tree stripes on his arm.
I thought he was saying HOLD FIRM
he really gave that his all 👏
Coz u r a sixer
Same, goosebumps everytime, its because it makes it so realistic, with the music peaking, it makes you imagine being there on those soldier's shoes.
Admire the NCO at 2:18, at least he is willing to listen to what Schofield has to say and shows earnest concern for his safety.
that's not an NCO. if you look at his sleeves, he is a Lieutenant. notice one stripe with two diamonds (forgot proper terms for it)

@@derpythespythe mateship increases 10000% when the lads were preparing to go over the top together all the had was each other to rely on 😢

Lol the Germans are like: *sir their charge is being spearheaded by 3 unarmed dudes running directly at us*
The first guy that tripped Schofield when they were going over the top didn't get up lol

It is a better way to blend in with the dead really. Not everyone wants to die in the front.
I like to think he got knocked down and decided it was a good enough hit to get knocked out, and so he just decided to play unconscious.

Love the orchestra drop when he runs onto the front line @ 0:53
3:22 The other man died by colliding with the actor. RIP
Just a good reason to pretend to be wounded and lie on the ground. Also, he fell right on his bayonet, so who knows, - he might cut his hand.
The extra commented to me he actually spoke to George on set and I couldn’t believe it
Yeah I know
It's hard to believe that this scene was done in one take
it wasn't, but it was made to look that way
The whole movie was done that way. (Made to look like one take). But I'm sure this one scene was all one take.

Best scene in the whole entire film
This is the only scene I've watched so far from this film
I’ve wanted to see this movie just for this incredible scene but I ended up really liking it
I know those trips were accidents but they so add to the feeling of the scene
There was this moment my two friends and I realized at the same moment what he needed to do and the air collectively left the theater
"The first wave" upsets me.
They were such brave boys... We will never be as brave as them...
THEY WERE THE BEST GENERATION TO EVER WALK OUR PLANET
You are so evil to say that. Nobody should even THINK about doing something like this ever again.
I would have immediately gone over because those who died in the war did it and I want to be as brave as they once were
@Thewarden2070 Why do you think the OP called them brave? Get off your high horse
A jaw dropping scene. My Grandad did this at the second battle of Ypres and then 1St July 1916 at the Somme. True bravery.
