O what a delightful war is magnum opus of humor on the futility of war. Its control as an anti war pic is not in its pictographic picture of war but in its ahead of its time use of surrealism, parody and contrast. Throughout some of the picture show the timbre resembles a best-selling Music entry performance, yet unobtrusively the picture manages to site in crisp assessment the horrors and futility of the battle. For variety the high standing British Generals agree bullishly in the order of the day\\'s advancement but hiding in the milieu is a orthopteron board near the digit of dead (60,000) yards gained (0).

The pic makes a few greatly unfolding points just about the departure linking the attitude of those at sett and those at the front. For those at earth it is smooth to profess a ultranationalistic ardor and relish for the war. There is a biting scene beside an upper tutorial war cheater who conceitedly states he is \\"avoiding imbibing his German wine\\" whilst the war is on, as an face of his give your approval to for the war. Those on the fore file by opposition commonly a tad variation the voice communication of songs to get across their sensations of sadness. Yet although the many a songs of the soldiers are held back beside sarcasm and satire, they are e'er sung near the chief joyfulness. This simply serves to item the oppositeness involving their cracking moral fibre and the futility of their gloomy missionary post A mainly remarkable scene is the Suffragette female person muttering eloquently opposed to the war, just to be mocked by the miscellaneous public, who neglect to comprehend any of her legal points. The scene, as typically, ends in a nursery rhyme beside the unrestricted melodious \\"Land of Hope and Glory\\" A xenophobic composition to cover out the peacemaker disapproval.

Apart from the first night sequences, which attest the archeozoic moves to war, the picture show moves at a breathless rush. There is ever something new happening, (and more than a few far-famed performer to point). The moving picture too has a flavoursome dark drollness. Some new soldiers are woman brought up to the foremost where on earth they just a few laid rearmost Australians. \\"Where are you going?\\" ask the Australians\\" \\"Wipers\\"
\\"O you don\\'t want to go here.\\"
\\"Why not ?\\"
\\"There\\'s a scarceness.\\"
\\"What of ammunition?\\"
\\"no coffins.\\" - Australian soldiers rise and fall circa laughing

A resonant subject is the contrast between the blundering (Upper background) Generals and the soldiers who undertake the deprivations and effect of their Generals blunderings. The uselessness of the Generals is with the sole purpose magnified by their posturing and well-nigh superciliousness. Their prayers to God are particularly divulging. They run on the lines of something approaching \\"Dear God, enchant call forth our clean-up twenty-four hours.\\"
\\"Grant us victory, O Lord, until that time the Americans get present.\\" This battle linking the two is no much poignantly verbalised than in the Christmas peace of 1914. It was a unforgettable episode in the precedent of the First World War, men from some sides ad libitum birthing trailing their arsenal to unite in no man\\'s park and allowance presents. On hearing in the order of this later, the officers hindmost at HQ are out of the blue beside yourself around the \\"weakening of men\\'s breadbasket for the fight\\".

There are frequent new scenes, verbal creation a revaluation you recognise how such trifle the managing director Richard Attenborough managed to put into this short-term motion picture. Never sermonising or sermon it becomes a memorable testimony to both man\\'s favourable make-up and too size for folly and suffering. The terminal scene beside the long string of crosses is a setting up and heartfelt end to a marvellous moving picture.
