Review of They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) by Lone_Wolf_Sones — 03 Feb 2020
World War 1 pictures haven't exactly been abundant. With World War II getting much of the silver screen treatment? World War 1 has for some strange reason faded from the public consciousness somewhat. Even the Civil War which preceded WWI has had plenty of attention given to it (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Ask someone what WWI was and they could probably tell you it was defined by trench warfare. But how much do we really know about it. More importantly how much do we really know about the men that lived through it? This film goes a long way towards giving us the closest possible look into what it was really like.
Actual footage has been meticulously restored and colorized. They even employed the use of lip reading to reconstruct what the soldiers were saying. For some the first portion may be boring or feel like a classroom lecture.
However the accounts of those that actually lived through it are in a word...priceless.
