My parents took me to see this when I was far to young and I hated it because none of it made sense. I watched it again, on video, many years later and thought it one of best criticisms of war ever made. The humour fades into ridiculous naivety and the horror is highlighted by the lunacy of the kings and generals. I watch it once a year and it never fails make me smile and cry. A masterpiece.
It's at the end that the over overwhelming sadness takes over me as the soldiers disappear on the train. Which is representative of the MILLIONS of waisted lives of young men. Its hard not to cry, but i guess there is a silver lining in the sky.... somehow I hope....
Do you feel it? The expressed pain of cloaked men in secret. Lived as fluid as the representative waters of blood of a nation. The "Silver lining" of men. Painted with the essence of golden men and women along the way. Generations of whom are now nothing but wisdom and inspiration gone like the time in the wind. Sadness prevailing in the ignorance of what is now considered bliss. But that which is in reality nothing more then privileged arrogance with a hint of irony. As historical arrogance like life itself is cyclical. Which becomes folk lore or genocide depending on the time and date of a generation. The life of brilliant men and women in the early 19th century still make me terribly worried for the modern day. What initiations could we have possibly gained from the young minds lost war? We will never know sadly.
Yes, quite right, I thought you were going to remark on the disappointing ending. In the film, the mother is seen ,with ( clever editing) turning and walking back along a REAL, and empty railway Platform.
ACTUALLY, if you watched the film, the mother turns, and we see her on a actual real Station Platform, alone and deserted, which is a way of bringing her ( and us ) back to reality.
Lyrics: Brother Bertie went away To do his bit the other day With a smile on his lips and his Lieutenant's pips upon his shoulder bright and gay As the train moved out he said, 'Remember me to all the birds.' And he wagg'd his paw and went away to war Shouting out these pathetic words: Goodbye-ee, goodbye-ee, Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee, Tho' it's hard to part I know, I'll be tickled to death to go. Don't cry-ee, dont sigh-ee, there's a silver lining in the sky-ee, Bonsoir, old thing, cheer-i-o, chin, chin, Nap-poo, toodle-oo, Goodbye-ee.
one of my favourite scenes from a fantastic film. In 2014 ,and several times till 2018, I wrote and asked the BBC to televise this Gem, ( how suitable could a film be? for this centenary) They didn't reply, OR show the film WHY ? too sensitive for the children who run that fantasy haven? I want my money back
@@MrDaiseymay perhaps they were too busy covering Cringe Cameron showing off the ginormous steel sculpture of a Lancaster aircraft, with streams of poppies flowing out unironically from its business end. I would have thought the legion might object, but you take a glance at their online store.
How often I am already convinced that before the music was more beautiful, more cultured, more sophisticated, this applies to both America and Russia. (Hello everyone, I'm from Russia and my nationality is Armenian :) ).
Outlook on the wars was different back then too, especially during first runs of that musical on stage. Casualty statistics in background, average life expectancy of soldier in combat, other realities of war - horrors contrasting with comedy on the front stage. By the way, the war in Ukraine have been going for roughly 148 days, 19 hours and 31 minute so far. Charming and wholesome - in contrast with horrors. Writing that from Russia too, albeit a little different one to what it was year ago.
'Goodbye-ee' replaced the popular British Army song 'Tipperary' by the end of WW1. The victorious British Army entered Cologne singing this song. (Guardsman Fred Noakes, in a letter home, dated 18 Dec 1918)
"Sorry"
"Thank you"
"I didn't mean to"
"Very cool"
"Sorry"
"Disgrace"
"What do you mean disgrace"
"Mom would be sad"

Omg haiii ahahha
and when the song is over, the mother is left staring down an empty track that leads to the sea. That's film making.

@@MrDaiseymay yes the best bit!!..
Lyrics:
Brother Bertie went away
To do his bit the other day
With a smile on his lips
and his Lieutenant's pips
upon his shoulder bright and gay
As the train moved out he said,
'Remember me to all the birds.'
And he wagg'd his paw
and went away to war
Shouting out these pathetic words:
Goodbye-ee, goodbye-ee,
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee,
Tho' it's hard to part I know,
I'll be tickled to death to go.
Don't cry-ee, dont sigh-ee,
there's a silver lining in the sky-ee,
Bonsoir, old thing, cheer-i-o, chin, chin,
Nap-poo, toodle-oo, Goodbye-ee.
so the song did say gay
@@David-lc5ui yes and back then gay meant happy before it was used to describe homosexuality
OOOOOOOO CHIN CHIN
@@David-lc5ui yes happy
@@David-lc5ui Of course, this was before the sodomites stole the word.

It misses the stunning bit right at the end where the mother is stood on the railway station!
