Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] criticism

In recent years, it has faced criticism as being a one-sided portrayal of the events of the Great War and, in particular, its leaders, such as Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig.

This sentence contains Weasel words who are the critics? If none can be named then the sentence should be removed. This is a piece of theatrical entertainment it is not a documentary. It was never intended to be a balanced all encompassing analysis of the war. --Philip Baird Shearer

Are parts of the DVD release missing? Having just watched it, my memory of seeing it previously was the the song 'Belgium put the kibosh on the Kaiser' was sung in the music hall as well as by the French on the carrousel, and that there was a scene where the French threaten a revolt, then follow their officers over the trenches while the sound of their voices switches gradually to the baa-ing of sheep.

Oh, Belgium put the kibosh on the Kaiser

Europe took a stick and made him sore

On his throne he likes to sit

But when we are done with it

He won't sit upon it any more
