About the movie:
Journey's End is a 2017 British war film based on the 1928 play by R. C. Sherriff. Written by Simon Reade and directed by Saul Dibb, it was screened in the "Special Presentations" section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is the fifth film adaptation of the play, following Journey's End (1930), The Other Side (1931), Aces High (1976), and Journey's End (1988 BBC TV film).
Plot:
Young Second Lieutenant Raleigh is sent to the front lines of the war, the trenches in Northern France. He requests of General Raleigh, his uncle, that he be under the command of Captain Stanhope of C Company, a man who was a few years his senior at school who used to holiday with Raleigh and his sister Margaret. Although an outstanding leader, who won the Military Cross at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, Stanhope has taken to heavy drinking to numb himself to the horrors of war. Other company officers include the kindly second-in-command, Lieutenant Osborne, an older man who likes to be called 'Uncle' by all fellow officers, Trotter, also an older man of lower social class promoted to make up shortages, and Hibbert whose attempts to escape the front line by complaining of eye pain are angrily rejected by Stanhope. The officers work as a close team, sitting down to a three-course dinner each evening (in practice whatever soup, tinned meat and tinned fruit the Mess Cook has rustled up - in contrast to the fine meals which more senior officers are shown eating behind the front). Raleigh learns his duties, making frequent inspections of the trenches, supervising the morning "Stand To" (guarding the trench in case of a dawn attack) and learning the names of his men. At any moment the Germans could launch an attack in what would come to be known as the German spring offensive. The battalion commander informs Stanhope that information from a deserter reveals that the German assault is planned for Thursday 21 March 1918.

My street still had a WW1 veteran survivor or a mustard gas attack and a WW2 veteran PoW of a Japanese death camp. These guys had experienced more horror than anyone can imagine but both of them were living their retirement with crippling injuries and mental trauma too. They were not treated like Lions after the war was over and never regained the promise of their lives. Today, I think that most of the population would refuse drafted military conscription and, having seen the ingratitude of government and society to veterans, who could blame them.
My grandfather was a soldier from November 1914 to March 1919. He served in Poland and Lithuania in 1915, at the Somme in 1916, at the Battle of Arras, the Battle of Menin and the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917, Operations Michael and Gneisenau as well as the 100 day retreat in 1918. He was wounded by MG fire at Kaunas, a grazing bullet to the torso at Ablaincourt, another in the neck at Arras, not forgetting the time a artillery shell struck the edge of the spade he was using while entrenching. His memoirs about that time are quite vivid and harrowing, especially when he tersely describes the demise of one man after the other of his 15 man Korporalschaft during 5 weeks in the line at the Somme.
What these men, from both sides, had to go through is quite unimaginable these days.
I thank you and your Grandfather for his total bravery and service in these god awful conflicts. My grandfather was a Navy stoker who endured many battles in this awful fight. My grandfather survived this war but never ever talked about it. Just because it was expected of them. War just become a commodity for profit or gain. What a loss of respect.
Almost never hear of the German first and Second World War vets
WWI was a butcher's shop, Napoleon's tactics fought with modern weapons. My grandfather was a runner for the Second Division of the AEF. Runners had a life expectancy of four and half hours. He was wounded on September 18th 1918.
1914, "Join the army" they said, "it'll be an adventure", they said. Standing way behind the soldiers running in open ground.
@@WaitAMinute1989 They also used, "It will be over before Christmas". It was...four years later.
@@JohnP538 Jesus Christ, the lies that were told.
@@WaitAMinute1989 The first casualty of war is the truth.
And they keep telling us lies….Weapons of mass destruction..
Our neighbour was a WW1 veteran. Sometimes he stoud in his garden at nicht yelling french comands. He died at 90 years.
What enormous courage these men displayed. Crossing “no man’s land” with a single shot magazine rifle stymied by deep wet mud and rows of barbed wire, land mines, and in the face of withering machine gun fire is beyond belief. Then if you miraculously get to the enemy’s trench, exhausted you must begin hand to hand fighting because your long, single shot weapon with its huge bayonet is of little use in confined quarters. If you survive this you can now expect shell fire from the enemy to push you out of that trench.
In the next battle you might be gassed or burned to death by flame throwers. But these men (on both sides) had little choice but to stay and fight again another day. What a foolish waste of human life.
And when and if they return their jobs are gone and no one seems to care about them or the sacrifices they made. When will this lunacy ever end?
Grandad said trench raids where the scariest. He was wounded twice Nov 1917 & Sept 1918. 3rd Canadian Infantry Bn (Toronto Regiment)
My Grandfather (John L. Mohan) was an SFC in the American Expeditionary Forces in World War One. He died in his 80's but suffered PTSD and Dementia much too soon in life, most likely to what he experienced over there. I've always regretted that I never had the chance to tell him how thankful and proud I was of him. By the time I was old enough to understand what he did, he was too far gone to speak to him about it.
The Imperial War Museum in London used to have many years ago a great WW1 section. On display were a bunch of what can only be described as ruthless almost medieval hand combat weapons improvised in the trenches for such raiding parties. Pickaxe handle wrapped at the top with barbed wire, and old medieval metal gauntlet that had a bayonet fixed to it and so on....... Chilling
Thank you for linking the film in the description.
One German great grandfather killed
One German great grandfather wounded at Longueval 1916 with life long gangrene in left shin.
Two German great grand uncles killed
One American great grand uncle communications runner for the 32nd Infantry Division, survived.
That is an operation that should be carried out in darkness and not in broad daylight. But they were successful in getting a prisoner which will be some unlucky German Private who would know nothing but will get to survive the war as a POW. Though it was done at a high cost since they lost since 12 men went out on that patrol but only four came back. World War I put a huge dent into the generation of men who were born in the early to late 1890's who were led by Generals who did not understand that War had changed since mass wave attacks were only good for getting your men killed.
Question: what did WW1 actually give us?
Answer: WW2
My great uncle(born 1897 Normandy,France🇨🇵)died a WWI soldier aged 18 1915. Gassed by the ennemy in a muddy trench. Military officials didn't say (or know)precise trench location. His body was never found. His brief life was hard. His mother(my great grandmother)died in 1906 aged 31 from a common flu leaving him aged 9 and his 6 yrs.old sister(my grandmother) motherless 🇨🇵⚘️🕊🙏🏻🙌💔😭✝️🌹
My Grandfather was in the AEF Medical Corps. You can imagine the horrors he saw.
Ya gotta respect a good leader.
So this is what Oswald Mosley was up too
hahaha I was going to say too
Oswald Mosley did actually serve in ww1

WW1 - how not to fight a war...
There's a right way ????
In Blackadder WW1. Bob: "I wanted to see a war fought so badly!", Blackadder: "Well, you're in luck! A war hasn't been fought this badly since...."
@mickjenner6697 Falklands wasn't a terrible way to fight one. Other side of the world with barely any civilians nearby.
Ideally a war would be fought by single combat between a nations leaders. With the winner being crucified for entertainment.
My Great Uncle was mortally wounded in Palestine in WWI with the New Zealand Mounted Rifles. Died of his wounds in Cairo. I visited his grave during the El Alamein battle commemorations in 2002.
Take out a hornets nest with a six shooter,is insane.
The whole bloody theatre was insanity.
Shiney helmets !!!
Terrifying
Can someone plz tell me if this is a good movie?
The stage play is a standard for amateur dramatics and worth watching out for. An 'air' version of Journeys end is "Aces High" with malcom Mcdowell and Colin Firth.
Peter Firth plus some familiar faces from the film If… And Christopher Plummer in th “Uncle” role taken by Paul Bettany in this adaptation of Journey’s End. Both very good films.
02:09. epitome of stiff upper lip!
If the leaders of the countries had to be in the trenches the war would be over by lunch time.
Should have reinforced and just taken the trench
And for what? For the interest of imperialism, and for unimaginable wealth of the few.
As it always has been.
Nice comment commie
The Ukraine war summed up in ten words.
Why ain"t theys boots shined?
Well those chaps will be up on a fizzer when/if they get back.
War sucks and in the end who really wins? I have seen combat myself and I don’t wish it on anyone! Sometimes it takes years for the scares to show themselves, like in my case. But mankind has never changed and we keep doing it over and over again, because some as-hole wants to control others! Pathetic!😡🤬
It really doesnt matter what directors do, or what "Spartan Method Actors" go through to make "Best Combat Scene in broad daylight with EVERYONE wearing their helmets," as long as the Iron Clad, written in stone rule exists for war movies, bank heist movies, or the old "One man army former special forces retired guy gets revenge on the gangster who killed his family" movies, why, and I mean WHY, does every soldier, every bad guy, every anonymous henchman (who's willing to die for his boss) WHY, when they get shot, utter a single "courtesy yell" then fall dead? You can go back in film history, and find this is true. One little grunt, or short yell, and theyre dead. Of course its for expediency in production, but still dumb.
Saving Private Ryan had plenty of guys just drop dead, shot. Band of Brothers too, IIRC. It's like you say, just mainly for production expediency. Reality looks neither real, nor fair, so it's done to help the audience.
Oh yeah, those are brilliant, and of course they all do it so the audience can just "move on." Still, its funny how consistent that is, especially in the kind of "celluloid turds" Steven Seagal makes.. Heres a fun fact: i worked with an old barber years ago, that was with those Rangers (2nd? 5th? I cant remember) who went up that cliff on D-Day. His name was Wilsie "Lucky" Ryan, and he was a private! Im sure there were tons of Ryans in the Army... His nickname "Lucky" was because when he was a kid, he played "Marbles" with the other kids and (apparently) won a lot.
@@Skipjack7814 I love fun facts like that.
'Celluloid Turds' I wholly agree - and a different, but appropriate fun fact.
They sure were some shiny helmets!
That’s because it was raining
Does seem odd there was no scrim netting or sacking on them though, you’d see the glint yards away.
I have two American WWI helmets and are covered with a sand mixed with olive drab paint.
Sandbag covers were often put over helmets, certainly by the British, to make them less conspicuous. Sometimes mud was put on helmets and allowed to dry into something that was not shiny. There was some camouflage painting of helmets in WW1 as well though there was more creativity in WW2 in this area.
"I'll save you some chocolate" knowing damn well they aint coming back 😂😂😂😂
Cannot why you would use the 😂 instead of the 😢, but I am sure you had your reasons…
@@Cross_111 because it was funny
@@natedowns5 it was as funny as you are right now...
But cheers to you if you can laugh to that
Have been a medic for 14 years so i have seen enough people die for several lifetimes
So excuse me if I find your choice of humor strange
@@Cross_111 😂 it's a movie
@@natedowns5 and ww1 was just a fantasy, right
Rich usless officers playing with the lives of young men. 🇬🇧
The highest casualty rate was among junior officers, most likely belonging to the same public school-educated class.
Well, if you're a sniper you're going to go for a "high value" target, not some poor bloke who was in a cotton mill this time last year.
If that was the best combat scene....i dont look that movie haha
Why didn’t they use drones? Everyone knows a drone is better - the British really were stupid………
Because drones where not invented then, this war was from 1914 to 1918.
Technical point. The helmets are too shiny. They were matt so not to reflect sunlight giving your position away.
