Today saw documentary They Shall Not Grow Old. Worth seeing! Director Peter Jackson took British WWI historic film, cleaned it up, in some cases colorized it, combined it with historic audio and made the soldiers seem like real people, many amazingly young.

The title comes from poem For the Fallen, by Robert Laurence Binyan. This is just a fragment:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I just watched that too. It was interesting how the colorized the old film footage.
I want to see this, but it's virtually impossible outside of the UK, somehow. I don't understand it.

We saw it in the US. It’s true that it was about UK WWI soldiers. @stound

I liked the insolent, swaggering expressions a lot of the soldiers had.
