I viewed it last night. It is colorized and 3D which creates an amazing visual experience. But it is how these effects lend themselves to the humanization of the soldiers and resulting audience empathy which goes way beyond any bland historical understanding of WWI. My Dad served in France during that war, an important life experience about which he said little except to others with whom he had served.

It’s almost like bringing these men back to life.

I had no idea what I was getting into last night. People were deeply moved. There were audience members with their families whose fathers had been in WWI. Everyone in the theater we were in stayed and watched the half hour piece discussing how the movie was made.

My wife and her friends are military historians. She has been setting up displays at museums and special events honoring those who served in WWI all year. We all went dressed in WWI uniforms and answered questions after the movie.
