They Shall Not Grow Old
If you get a chance make the chance. What Peter Jackson did here is simply genius. It took a guy with a passion for the subject, he owes his existence to the war. his Grandfather was badly wounded in WW1 and previously met his Grandmother in England when lightly wounded. Jackson has a huge uniform collection for color sampling, a couple howitzers for sound sampling, and the studio to put it all together. I think frame-rate matching was his most important addition to the footage. The men were shown in a truer light, the athleticism, the cold fear, the horse-play, and the humanity all pop out of these old films. He also rescued a lot of film that was too dark or too bright.
I will admit to a man-crush for this barefoot filmmaker. https://filmmakermagazine.com/106589...-not-grow-old/

Unfortunately I didn't see this when it was shown on TV on Nov 18th so it's another one for the DVD section of my Amazon wish list.

He said he was amazed when he was shown what the boys in the backroom could do with crap film. It really fired him up to do this project.
