It truly is a mind-boggling war to even think about, let alone to imagine living through. Artillery barrages so long and loud that men lost the ability to hear themselves think. I would have a nervous breakdown, 100% certain, if I were subjected to that.
One of the things that causes a lot of problems for veterans is that being near enough an explosion that it doesn't kill you but still hits you with the pressure wave is basically like getting a TBI. "Shellshocked" was probably a very accurate term for a lot of those lads.
I had no idea he even made a WWI movie. I'm gonna go watch the ending of Paths of Glory, get teary eyed, and pretend I don't know about that Peter Jackson movie existing.
It's a very.. interesting movie tbh, with real footage that has been edited with color and sound. Just that pretty much all war movies end up glorifying war to some degree and this one has a bunch of interviews with vets who seem to have enjoyed the ordeal to some extent

I hate how that Peter Jackson movie made it seem like a jolly good time in spite of all the horror, especially as it's fucking well-edited
