How curious is the attitude of the human being when it comes to war, right?
My feelings and thoughts about the movie “They Shall not Grow Old” are very reflectives and a little bit shocking because, for me, it´s curios how at the beginning when the British entered the war against Germany, all british citizens were excited to go into the war and defend their nation, it is curious and interesting how sometimes pride or in this case patriotism can blind human beings from what they are really going to face. Like I said, at the beginning the british citizens were excited, also because they thought it wouldn´t last long and that in a certain part it would be fun.
As the war progresses and the British soldiers see and live the harsh reality and cruelty of a war, their intial attitudes are destroyed and little by little they create cold and unfeeling attitudes. Althought as time went by, many soldiers became accustomed to the fact that at any moment they could die, either from a wound generated in combat or from a surprise attack by the enemy.
At the end when the war finished and the Allies won the British army captured a lot of germans and I kind of empathize with the Tommies of how they treated them and how they tried to communicate with them to have a normal talk.
My conclusion from the movie ‘They Shall not Grow Old’ is that it is shocking how, both in those times and currently, pride or patriotism can affect and decieve the attitude of human beings, leading them to do things that they may regret for their entire life.
I love how you wrote about the after war talk it is really interesting which you had also brought up pride and patrotism but ‘also because they also because they’ is a small mistake here it is a little bit hard to understand what you are trying to say but anything else then that is a really great blog.
I really liked how you started your text, I agree with your opinions and statements about the war, I noticed some misspellings but other than that your text was very insightful.
This is really good, it puts into perspective the soldiers feelings, its not too long and it expresses how you felt and what you thought about in a good way. My only “comment” would be to make the language a little more formal, but its great! :p
I really enjoyed the way you articulated your thoughts in a sophisticated yet concise manner. This aspect made your personal response unique and interesting to read. Good job!!!
I really like your post, because you explain your thoughts, for example “it´s curios how at the beginning when the British entered the war against Germany, all British citizens were excited to go into the war and defend their nation, it is curious and interesting how sometimes pride or in this case patriotism can blind human beings from what they are really going to face. Like I said, at the beginning the British citizens were excited, also because they thought it wouldn´t last long and that in a certain part it would be fun.”
