“戰(zhàn)爭就是在骯臟的壕溝里面翻滾。”——電影在第64分鐘說。“我們見的最多的就是泥巴。”

The Wipers Times就是一份壕溝報(bào)紙（a trench magazine），在1916年初由第12營的兩個(gè)軍官創(chuàng)建，原由居然是一部撿到的印刷機(jī)（the 12th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters stationed in the front line at Ypres, Belgium, came across an abandoned printing press. A sergeant who had been a printer in peacetime salvaged it and printed a sample page. The paper itself was named after Tommy slang pronunciation of Ypres. Although the print runs were small - limited by the availability and cost of paper - the readership was significant. Each copy would have passed through many hands, with parts read out loud in dug-outs and trenches.）

必須一邊行軍一邊搞報(bào)紙。電影中我們看到這個(gè)營被兩次送到傷亡最多的索姆河一帶，我們不禁為他們感到揪心。

從業(yè)余愛好而大受歡迎，于是他們心心念念都在組稿編稿。'The Wipers Times' was written with wit, but its content never strayed into smut or vulgarity. The articles often satirised popular poets and authors, such as the mock serial featuring 'Herlock Shomes' or the diary of Lieutenant Samuel Pepys.

The paper was also the perfect place to vent frustration at certain journalists who produced overwrought and self-aggrandising articles from the front. William Beech Thomas of the 'Daily Mail' was a particular target. 這種戰(zhàn)爭的心態(tài)反映了一種文明。英國能接受一種不同的意見和表達(dá)方式。

我覺得中國人已經(jīng)不太習(xí)慣看這種電影，因?yàn)樗麄兲缓萌R塢了。他們太有料，太有歷史，并且用自己的方式進(jìn)行了表達(dá)，既有對(duì)戰(zhàn)爭的歌頌，也有對(duì)戰(zhàn)爭悲傷的表達(dá)。
