Journey's End
Benchmark by which to judge others
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.

Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951)
I'm familiar with the books and had no idea there was a movie. For such an old movie, it seems surprisingly ahead of its time.

The Wind and the Lion (1975)
"I, like the lion, must remain in my place, while you, like the wind, will never know yours".
"I, like the lion, must remain in my place, while you, like the wind, will never know yours".
That is a good movie. I had not thought of it in many years.
I watched The Railway Man the other day. Some brutal scenes and the story unfolds in flashbacks.
