AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
johnnypascall The best war film ever made. Possibly the best film ever made. Outstanding writing. Outstanding acting. Outstanding directorship.I never normally say thing like this, but if you don't appreciate this film you're a moron.
bonanzomovie From the opening till close I forgot about everything else and was captured by the perfect presentation of what would be my favorite war I have seen for quite a while.Why this is not screening with the same amount of attention as other lesser war films that show a more comedic approach, this film is detailed and dark yet still maintaining a sense of innocence to capture even the most anti War film viewer. Worthy of 10 stars I could watch a season of this for sure! Hint HintWish I could have seen more from Stephen Graham (Trotter) however and that is why only 9 stars. He was why I watched the film in the first place but although glad he made me find such a beautiful film I definitely wished for more screen time for Trotter!
mooovies This is definitely one of the best war movies I have ever seen. No Rambo actions in this one. The title really depicts what the movies is all about A Journey's End. The brutality of war. Good men die like that . In times of war orders are orders. It is sad. I wonder all this potential gone to waste . Over 60 million people died in world wars. Countries destroyed. I wonder how the world would have been liked if only ... I recommend you see this movie with high quality video . The sound is amazing& the cinematic . The acting is superb . If you think that war is exciting . Think again . You ought to see it. Deserves a better rating.
esklepios What a contrast to so much mediocrity and worse eg. Dunkirk. Set in the trenches in March 1918 but not really about the trenches or March 1918 at all.Superbly cast and acted, a beautifully written reflection of a junior officer's view of the penultimate stages of WW1. Even more, this is a beautifully written reflection on the human spirit in adversity. Of course some of the senior officers are somewhat caricatured - that is what happens in real life. Of course it becomes more and more difficult with the passage of time for people to understand the mentality of empire, the public schoolboy ethos embodied by Raliegh, Maybe the same bravado and fear affects people joining violent gangs - I know not - but Raleigh is about the same age as some gang members - 18/19. Stanhope at 21/22 is a veteran of war, Uncle (Osborne - quite possibly early 30s) almost a veteran of life in their eyes.Of course such characters have been used in films since - but this was written in 1928. It cut the new ground - others have followed.The Roman Horace said "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." and it took until WW2 for Patton to say "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." But what about sending your friends, your very best friends, your nearest and dearest to near certain death. What does that "do" to a man. Stanhope knows and through this film we can maybe glimpse that horror. What happens when there is no "cunning plan" left. Uncle knew.Hold them off for as long as you can. In 1914, in 1918 when Journey's End is set, and again at Dunkirk ordinary men really did. No doubt there are countless other examples both before and in the last 70 years.This film is a fitting tribute to those men.
