stantheman1961

Just watched it and really enjoyed it was even more impressed when I learnt it was made on a shoestring it really felt big budget I would love to see what the makers could do if given a big budget I'm just an ordinary guy unconnected with this movie in any way, I have read the reviews suggesting there's a lot of fake reviews about this movie Don't know about that but what I do know is my opinion is mine and mine alone I have been an IMDb user for many years I haven't just appeared as this movie has, this was a great movie that moved along nicely I highly recommend it well done to everyone involved

the homosexual undercurrent coming from Sinclair towards Croft in the lakeside scene?,

Love this film OK so there were a few inaccuracies it's called artistic licence but i don't think to many liberties were taken, For instance Parachutes were not available to pilots of the RFC nor were they used by the RAF during the First World War – although the Calthrop Guardian Angel parachute (1916 model) was officially adopted just as the war ended.

By this time parachutes had been used by balloonists for three years, Overall i thought it portrayed pretty well the RFC at that time still very much in it's infancy and the mood of the time and place Only one niggle Leeds i live in Leeds and its a lovely place

We must never forget the sacrifice these young pilots made

Lest we forget

My God, It's full of stars

Point of interest At the beginning of the film we see a sign on Brighton Pier with World War One above an entrance, of course this was artistic licence by the film makers the term was not used at all throughout that awful conflict

It's hard to pinpoint precisely when the term World War I first arose During World War I, of course, nobody knew that a second global conflict would follow closely on the heels of the first, so there was no need to distinguish it as the first of its kind. After initially referring to the "European War," U.S. newspapers adopted "World War" once America entered the confrontation in 1917. On the other side of the Atlantic, meanwhile, Britons preferred "Great War" until the 1940s—with the notable exception of Winston Churchill, who reminisced about the "World War" in the 1927 volume of his memoir "The World Crisis."

This is one of my Favourite Anti-War films I disagree with a previous poster saying the first "Act" of the film was boring and unnecessary and was on the heavy side

I think the opposite it sets the film up it gives us the information we need to set the movie in context and as for using heavyweights like Gieguld,Richardson,More,Holm,Hawkins,Olivier,Redgrave,Mills, again it sets the perfect tone the correct amount of light and dark
