A BBC story of the men who fought in the first world war, produced by Peter Jackson who also made Lord of the Rings. The pictures have been cleaned up, coloured and brought to life, it is simply brilliant and so moving, couldn't recommend it more. This will stand as a landmark in the history of media I can assure you.

I watched this programme this evening and I have to say I found it absolutely stunning technically and artistically, and incredibly moving from a personal and emotional point of view. It truly was a different world , for better or for worse, than the one we live in now. We forget perhaps that to the men on the front line it wasn’t a black and white war as we see in the newsreels but one in glorious and gory technicolour. Fantastic and humbling piece of work by the IWM and Peter Jackson.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more Colin, the black and white film was cleaned up fantastically but when it instantly changed to colour it quite took my breath away.
