It’s a brutally honest war movie. Some of the characters from the book are in the movie, but for the most part the movie deviates from the book. Instead it uses its setting to show you things about the war soldiers had to deal with like creeping artillery barrages, gas attacks, and even the first time a tank was used. The opening 5 mins is a great portrait of the war machine back home and the ending shows the pride and just how comically out of touch the men conducting the war were.

Do they show how all those attacks resulted in ~zero feet gained?
