'Passchendaele", the movie.

Despite it's flaws, this is an important movie, particularly so for Canadians. Canada lost over 60,000 men (out of a population at the time, of about 8 million), most of them in Flanders. I don't think our cousins north of the border will be too troubled by a few costume inaccuracies. Regards, Norm

I guess what caught my intention was the name of the film..........I'd never heard of it! I was flipping around looking for a movie..in lieu of some reality show like 'minute to win it', my God we've turned into a nation of morons. The opening scenes sure grabbed my attention. Over the years, I had occasion to work with some of the Canadian military and found them to be outstanding soldiers. I don' know if it was true, or where it may have been, but my Dad, long ago, laughingly said, On Sunday, the Germans and Americans would stop shooting and play cards.
