Passchendaele is a very good movie. However, it does have several flaws - the biggest one being a failure to examine the actual battle in more detail. If I had read no Canadian or WWI history beforehand, I could have walked into the theatre, watched the movie, and then walked out having learned very little about the strategic and tactical situation surrounding Passchendaele, and the overarching role of the Canadian Army. I also tend to agree with other reviewers that the love story tends to overshadow the rest of the movie. Not only does it overshadow, it bogs down the plot somewhat. As a representation of what PTSD does to soldiers, Passchendaele fails miserably. The vast majorit

Wonderful Movie - Loved Sarah Slean singing "After The War" at the end of the movie! Beautiful voice! BG

I think this movie was a very poor portrail of the battle of Paschendaele. It spent way too much time on the relationship aspect of the movie and not enough time on the actual battle. Overall I thought this movie was a let down.

it was amazing my school and i saw it for a school trip and me and my best friend were crying so much, and we were even crying when we where on the bus going back to my school...it really touched us cause it shows alot of what happened back then and what they went through...cause the same story that they had and feelings for eachother where the same for others aswell.....it made me realize how much they went through and how stupid the cause was for....they did this for freedom for us and we should thank them........it was astonishing!!!!!!!!!and amazing!!!!!!

Excellent Canadian movie. Should be part of the Hight School curriculum.

All of you who say "bad depiction of trench warfare", how many of you actually fought in WWI in trenches? What makes you so convinced that this is truly a bad depiction? Did you really experience trench warfare first hand? I highly doubt that. Because you read some book, read some article or saw some documentary on History Channel doesnt make you an expert to make such hollow statements. I don't pass judgment on whether this was realistic or not since I wasn't there. The movie did employ military consultants so they know more than all of us combined. The only thing that I would change aboout this movie is the title. Passchendaele was only a backdrop for this very vivid love story. I gi

I think this is a great movie. So it doesn't teach much about the war and the title may be a bit misleading, I loved it. It was a story about true love and heroism. Amazing movie for all chick-flick lovers.

This is a misleading movie. It is NOT focused on the battle at Passchendaele but rather it's a LOVE STORY with the back drop of the battle at Passchendaele. The movie could've taken place anywhere, anytime. And to have all those soldiers cower and flee when Dunn's unit came in for relief? How is that a good portrail of our courageous soldiers? This movie is fine as a dramatic love story. But the marketing people shouldn't have shoved this film down our throats propoganding that it was some epic war story or a tribute to our WWI vets. Because it definitely was not. It was generic and cliche. It should have been called Pashion Dale. That would've made more fricking sense.

Very moving story about the sacrifices, courage, focus and persistence of our Canadian forces during this horrible battle. Why can't we humans learn to live together, instead of continuing to shed blood in the name of pride, religion and differences?
