4. There are no color pictures or movies of it (if it's not on TV, then Americans don't know it happened)
Theres been quite a bit of TV movies as well as hollywood movie about WWI. And there are loads of WWI novels. All Quiet on the western front happens to be one of my favorite novel. Its one of the rare books that I read more than once.... and I read that **** many many times.:-pComment

Not really... Hollywood survives on sequels, adaptations, and "inspired by true events" movies. Trust me, if there were exciting stories ripe for the pickens about WWI, Hollywood would pounce on it faster than you can say Matrix.That says more about Hollywood than it does about WW1.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Yeah, I saw parts of it. I wish I could rent it on DVD.A&E released a TV movie and it was pretty good.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

I really do like WWI over WWII.
WWI is focuses more on brutality of war, how we should all be sissy pacifists and how pointless war is.
WWII is like reading the newest issue of Captain AMerica.:-pComment

There was a recent movie called "the Trench."
Was pretty boring though.
I liked the scene in Legends of the Fall though where the Dragoons had gasmasks on their horses and they still had long spears.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

Sava:
wasn't there a Sargeant York who single handedly killed several dozen Germans?
and what about all the dozens of fighter aces who are far more romanticized and heroized than any pilots in ww2? Richtofen, Ball, Guynemer... the list goes on and on... yet not a single movie has been made about these men... take Guynemer for example who was the descendent of french nobles and though he was small and sickly managed to be one of the greatest french pilots of all time in a time when planes were made of wood and fabric and no one had any idea how to use them for war. or how about Charles Nungesser who was known to drink wine while flying and who often went to parties and night and flew the dawn patrol in a tuxedo with a hang-over (he even had an affair with that German dancer/spy thats so famous but i forget her name). he was shot down so many times that in the end, he couldn't even walk but was carried to his plane everyday and still went on shooting down germans...
there's plenty of great stories..."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I think there was actually a movie about the Red Baron.
I guess that is the one thing about WW1, is the romaticising about fighter pilots.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment
