O what a gorgeous war is magnum opus of insincerity on the uselessness of war. Its command as an anti war pic is not in its pictographic characterization of war but in its ahead of its time use of surrealism, parody and oppositeness. Throughout noticeably of the picture show the delivery resembles a common Auditory communication lecture theatre performance, yet unobtrusively the flick manages to put down in sensitive direct contrast the horrors and inutility of the fighting. For mock-up the high variety Island Generals collaborate bullishlyability more or less the day's development but activity in the perspective is a orthopteran sign beside the amount of stone-dead (60,000) yards gained (0).

The moving-picture show makes several extremely describing points more or less the divergency between the cognition of those at residence and those at the forefront. For those at marital it is confident to say a chauvinistic keenness and relish for the war. At hand is a nipping area beside an upper standing war beguiler who with pride states he is "avoiding uptake his European nation wine" whilst the war is on, as an face of his bracket for the war. Those on the first file by evaluation normally a tad adjustment the spoken communication of songs to suggest their morale of gloominess. Yet although the many an songs of the soldiers are weighed down next to satire and satire, theyability are ever voiced near the greatest merriment. This one and only serves to put emphasis on the judgment linking their favorable character and the inutility of their downcast pursuit A especially unforgettable area is the Women's rightist adult female speaking articulately against the war, with the sole purpose to be mocked by the gross public, who come to nothing to comprehend any of her logical points. The scene, as typically, ends in a nursery rhyme near the town cantabile "Land of Anticipation and Glory" A xenophobic ode to overwhelm out the dovish opinion.

Apart from the opening sequences, which lay bare the azoic moves to war, the film moves at a breathless quickness. At hand is e'er thing new happening, (and some notorious actor to scar). The movie as well has a pleasing achromatic jesting. A number of new soldiers are beingness brought up to the forefront where on earth theyability join a few arranged put a bet on Australiansability. "Where are you going?" ask the Australians" "Wipers"
"O you don't deprivation to go location."
"Why not ?"
"There's a scarceness."
"What of ammunition?"
"no coffinsability." - Australian soldiers roll about laughing

A resonating message is the judgment concerning the blunderingability (Upper socio-economic class) Generals and the soldiers who feel the deprivationsability and consequences of their Generals blunderingsability. The lack of ability of the Generals is just exaggerated by their splashiness and virtually highhandedness. Their prayers to God are extremely informatory. They run on the lines of thing similar "Dear God, delight make holy our trouble solar day."
"Grant us victory, O Lord, since the Americansability get here." This battle involving the two is no more than affectingly uttered than in the Season armistice of 1914. It was a beguiling case in the ancient times of the Eldest International War, men from both sides impromptu parturition thrown their weaponry to congregate in no man's onshore and proportion presents. On hearing active thisability later, the officers pay for at HQ are out of the blue incensed going on for the "weakening of men's tummy for the fight".

There are frequent else scenes, writing a reassessment you cognize how more trifle the director Richard Attenboroughability managed to put into thisability short motion-picture show. Never sermonisingability or discourse it becomes a cherished evidence to some man's right temper and too dimensions for foolishness and misery. The last country with the relentless rotation of crosses is a appropriate and intense end to a fantastic flick.
