I can't wait to see this. Not many WW1 films out there but this looks like it can be among the best ones.

It'll have to be pretty darn good to be in the league of Lawrence of Arabia and Paths of Glory.

The footage I saw looked too clean. Clean clothes, crispy entrenchments. While what I heard about it it was first of all a horribly muddy affair.

Springel the clip with the grass has chalk trenches so I'm assuming it maybe a flashback to the Somme. This would explain it.

1917 the August rains and destruction of drainage explain the mid the attacks in the Spring weren't so muddy.

It was that somewhere, not everywhere.

I have heard that in time of Middle Ages, there was no clean water and everybody drank beer all the time, even children. Again: it may have been that somewhere, but not everywhere.
