Fabulous WWI movie, certainly up there with 1917. But there is a significant shift away from the book at the heart of this movie. The book takes place a month earlier than the film, October 1918 being when nothing happened except unexceptional death and agony. In the film the day under consideration is probably the most important day of the war - it's end at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 11th November 1918. Far from there being nothing new from the western front there is everything, from the combat deaths right up to the wire, to the start of the stab in the back myth promoted by the defeated imperial army. Far from being an insignificant day it is probably one of the most fateful days of the 20th century. Great story-telling though, and wonderfully shot.
