'Passchendaele", the movie.

[TennBill2]

That was quite a thread...over there. Don't know much about Canadian film makers, but I'd guess it's becoming harder and harder to get authentic WWI equipment, particularly enough for a full scale battle. I think the last WWI film I saw was Flyboys and seems computer graphics are replacing a lot. As far as the 'Love' aspect......what soldier isn't thinking about someone back home? I'm not quick enough to catch the nuances of some scenes...............all I saw was a 'Broomy'! Glad though I missed the 'original', I've often thought they should have put the Generals in the trenches to fight it out, the tactics sucked!
