    Apparently the original script of this said that he walks toward the singing voice and sits among the soldiers because he thinks he’s already dead. Makes the scene carry more weight in my mind

    • @Dagger33
      @Dagger33 3 роки тому +80

      It kind of came across that way. The idea that this incongruous beauty in the midst of all the death and destruction he’s witnessed might be how he crosses over, and his disappointment at not being able to complete his mission (not to mention the heartbreak of leaving his family behind) is tempered by the relief that he’s finally gotten some rest.

      @Joseph Mainville mid 1917, there weren't as many suicidal battleplans by then, the Hindenburg line saw to that. I mean the chances of surviving the war were better in 1917 and 1918 than any year previous. Despite the death by artillery, sniper, stupid glory seeking officers and commando raids. Oh and the gas, I forgot about the gas.

    One of the heaviest hitting movie scenes .The desperation , the tiredness , the weight of the journey , the pain , the desire to rest but the knowledge that thousands of lives depend on you continuing your quest and the almost ethereal mixture of a well timed song and a silent forest after seeing a loved one die , fighting many foes , so many times almost losing your Life and the wondering if you will have the strength .So much .
    A cinematic masterpiece .

    My Great Grandfather survived the last 18 months of that war, serving in the Canadian Army. Its why the Greenfields of France is a song that resonates in my soul. The War to End all Wars, is a testament to the hubris of humanity. I pray my son never has to serve in war, but I suspect he may very well follow in my footsteps, his great grandfather’s and great great grandfathers as well.

      During the American civil war this song was often called the Libby prison hymn after a union soldier wrote these words on the wall of the Libby prison camp right before he died which makes it so much deeper now that you know that a young lad wrote this knowing his life was about to end.

    I think the coolest part of the sounds design here is right after he sings, it sounds like people are clapping before you realize that’s actually just the sound of the soldiers standing up with all their gear on. It highlights just how unfair war is because that should have been sung on a stage to an audience who would applaud him, but war has turner the singer and their audience into soldiers.

    The year is 1918, the Great War is done.
    In the tavern, many a man and many a woman, celebrate the victory.
    Men gather 'round with joy and cheer, and drinks a run,
    As the women gossip and prattle, most of long story,
    And children laugh and play out in evening air.
    The townspeople are joyous and fair and light of heart.
    But one does not take part in the affair,
    A young woman, though old for her thirty-three years, sits apart,
    Silently sitting away in the darkened corner,
    The woman gazing longingly in a photo, as tears silently strike wood.
    The loving faces of her husband and three sons stare back at her.
    Her husband died in the Somme, her youngest at Belleau Wood,
    The oldest fell in the Siege of Antwerp, and middle fell in the retreat from Le Cateau.
    So let us mourn the husbands and let us mourn the sons, as they shall celebrate no more.
