They shall not grow old

The film I watched was more like a documentary. It was about the First World War. In my point of view there wasn’t a structured sequence or specific storyline to follow.  The film focused on the the British Army and their life style, all their toughs and difficulties thru that point of their life. I had a lot of mixed feelings watching it, I felt disgusted and moved about how could people do that to other people, In what world we live in that could be possible, aren’t we supposed to be a civilized species?

It made me think about our present time problems, how the wars still continue and how much possibility we have that a WW3 could happen again, all the small wars that are happening right now and how most of them are not talked about enough, how innocent lives can change from one day and other.

In my opinion wars should not happen all they do is damage, destroy landscapes and innocent lives.

  1. I suggest that you add the title of the documentary to make it more clear to everyone. You also mention that the soldiers had difficulties throughout their life in the army, maybe expand on that and explain what those difficulties were. Other than that I enjoyed how you mentioned that countries that have wars currently going on do not get talked about enough in other countries or areas of a country that do not have the constant reminder of war.

  2. I like how you mentioned that innocent lives were changed in a day becuase unfortunately it is so true. You also mentioned WW3 which is something I have been scared of since my teachers told me it is something that could happen and we can suffer the consequences. Nice post!
