I couldn't agree more Kemi, regarding the actors, the score & the story. It's just so beautiful, and tragic. Tom's death scene is just so hauntedly well acted. I don't recall seeing someone go so pale in dying, in anything I've ever seen like they did with Tom in this film. And he was trying to help the German pilot 😢 God I'm crying just writing this comment. I keep hoping the young woman & the baby made it out too. The scene with Will going over the top to sprint down, the infantry charging....The look on Joseph's face, when he realises his brother is gone. Will had to go & get water for the pilot, as he had none left & filled his tank with milk. If he had water, he wouldn't had to leave Tom's side...but the only reason he's even alive still, is because Tom saved him from the rubble & he needed the water to clear out his eyes. And without the milk, the baby would have nothing to survive on. And by meeting the French woman, he had his wound treated just enough for him to get to the Hindenburg Line. And the cherry blossoms...it was like Tom telling him to keep pushing 😥

Thank you for this reaction, Kemi. There is such an incredible contrast between the beauty of this film and the ugliness of the subject matter. Everybody is just trying to survive amid all this destruction, this colossal waste of human life, but the characters still manage to find rare moments of tenderness and compassion towards each other. Although it's definitely not as graphic as some other war films, it still manages to be upsetting. When reading about wars from a safe distance, it's easy to forget that those numbers are real people, human lives, not just statistics. Good or bad, kind or selfish, every death that happens here feels so senseless and regrettable. Like when the (very young) German soldier decided to cry out, giving Will no choice but to silence him - if he'd stayed quiet, both of them could've just walked away and lived. The German pilot was disorientated, which probably caused him to attack his rescuers in panic. In the original screenplay, he begs for his life (which the two British soldiers don't understand because of the language barrier) before lashing out, which suggests that he believed himself to be acting in self-defence - but you can't really hear that in the film. In the film, I think he just asks for water. And you're right, Sam Mendes did make this film based off his grandfather, who acted as a messenger in the trenches much like Will did. Alfred Mendes did not speak about his experiences in the war until he was in his 70s.
