IT tells how badly this war was conducted,my father served and was wounded but would never talk about it except to say the "Brass" we utterly useless. It just proved he was right!!

Americans know Rudyard Kipling for the Jungle books and 'If'. Now we know what a complicated character he was and how human, flawed and loving he was. How could anyone who loved their son as much as Kipling did consciously send him off to war? Did Kipling love his country more than his son? Did he even know his son? And John, nicknamed Jack, just like President Kennedy, was the bravest man of his day, did he realize the sacrifices he faced? Especially that of his life? This movie poses these questions but like my definition of excellent film, allows you to answer for yourself and the characters stay with you long after the credits roll.
good story and good acting
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
A tragic story, well staged and acted. A must see, because we too soon forget not only the horrific inhumanity of WWI (and all war) but the personal anguish of those who lost their loved ones. "The paths of glory leads only to the grave."
It is great story with wonderful acting! such a sad movie hard to believe its true. Love the acting! BBC has brought us another prize of a film.
