This film was really good! i hope everyone joined it. I must say that everyone should be all proud about a Canadian war film since its oen of the biggest and expensive ever made in Canada. Also it talks about war where others had lost their love ones and I strongly suggest not to judge this lovely film.

I hate being negative about something, but I have to say it was the most boring movie I watched in months. LOL Couldn't stick to anything, the story, the actors, etc.

this love story was too far fetched. not very realistic. the only thing that looked a bit real was a bit of the battle scenes, other than that really boring

umm you should deff ALL watch the behind the scenes BECAUSE the openinig scene is a story told to the director/main character from his own grandfather. his grandfather actually had that happen to him. for all of you who say it is dumb I disagree highly. love stories are in every major film including history movies. so you might want to take a look at the background info before complaining about it.

This is the best movie I have seen in a very long time. It is passionate, true to the facts, universal in its issues and phenomenally directed and acted by Paul Gross. I absolutely loved it.

If the symbolism in Passchendaele is so obvious and over-the-top, why are so many people getting it wrong? The kestrels are not harbingers of doom or metaphors for the soul leaving the body but are instead a metaphor for man's desire to be more Christ-like himself as in "The Windhover" by Gerard Manley Hopkins (look it up!). The overhead shot of David on the cross being dragged through the mud is the most important scene in the movie: far from being thrown in at the last minute, it is the culmination of the themes of self-sacrifice, the myth of the crucified soldier, and the pointlessness of war.

I can't believe some of the comments saying this is a great film - it's NOT. It's a boring, unrealistic love story, set against the backdrop of war. Sorry, but the characters development was weak and/or stereotypical, especially the one dimensional brother. The pacing was slow and while the war scenes were fairly realistic looking, I can't recall any memorable moments, other than the over-the-top, ridiculous, Christ-on-the-cross/saviour-like ending. 100% Canadian cheese.

A disappointing, uneven and flawed film. I agree that the ending is a joke.
