My World War I movie recommendations for Remembrance Day

1. Testament of Youth

Starring: Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Taron Egerton, Colin Morgan

Don't be fooled by the cover - this is less of a romance film and more of a powerful treatise on the mental and emotional consequences of war. Heartbreaking, haunting, and beautiful, this film is based on the true life experiences of Vera Brittain, a university student who postponed her studies to volunteer as a nurse during WWI. She later became a renowned pacifist and feminist writer.

2. Goodbye Christopher Robin

Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Kelly Macdonald

A sad and sweet story based on the life of A.A. Milne, author of Winnie the Pooh. Alan struggles with PTSD upon returning home from serving in the Great War, but eventually finds joy and happiness inventing stories with his imaginative young son. This film sticks out to me in the way it highlights the intergenerational pain of the two World Wars, fathers who fought in one having to watch their sons go fight another. It also sheds light on how the beloved character of Winnie the Pooh came to be.

3. Tolkien

Starring: Nicolas Hoult, Lily Collins, Patrick Gibson

Based on the life of (you guessed it) J.R.R. Tolkien, this film showcases the beauty of a writer's imagination and the dearness of close male friendship (hooray!). When Tolkien and his group of fellow creatives go off to war, they are affected by their experiences in ways they did not expect, and sadly not all of them make it back. This is not a war movie per se, but the war is certainly a pivotal part of the story and you can see how Tolkien's war experiences found their way into his writing.

4. War Horse

Starring: Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Thewlis

This is a story of a boy, Albert, and his horse, Joey, separated during events of the war. We follow Joey as he is used by the British Army and eventually reunites with Albert (yay!), though both Albert and Joey encounter many dangers and tragedies along the way. A poignant look at war, and a sentimental tale of a boy and his horse.

PATRICK GIBSON as ROBERT GILSON in TOLKIEN (2019)

[kazz-brekker]

amused to learn that ty tennant and tom glynn-carney, the actors for aegon ii, have played young and older versions of the same character before … casting director for hotd must have watched tolkien 2019 and been taking notes like “hmm very interesting”

[feralgodmothers]

Fuck marry kill. Hoult as Tolkien. Hoult as Peter in The Great. Hoult as Reinfeld

Ooooh anon, you didn’t make this one easy!!!

I suppose I could make this slightly easier on myself if I were to approach it from some dumb “moral high ground” angle…

But screw that! I ain’t passing up the opportunity to f*** Peter. 😂

Which leaves two sweethearts who I absolutely adore to marry and kill. 🥺😰

Renfield, who just got his life back after 90 years of servitude

and freaking Tolkien

…….….l…………….

I’m sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to kill Renfield.

So I guess that leaves (and I can’t believe I’m saying this)… Tolkien for me to kill.

I full-on SWOONED when I watched his declaration of love in that movie, but in the end - his speech was for someone else, so I guess he’s dying for that. 🤷🏽‍♀️😅

So, to recap:

F*** Peter

Marry Renfield

Kill Tolkien

Tom Glynn-Carney as Christopher Wiseman in Tolkien (2019)

Part 1

[best-movie-ever-tournament]

Tolkien was described as follow:

It's a biopic about JRR Tolkien and it's great. Other than that what can I say... it's very dark academia, there's linguistics and finnish-inspired old languages, cute boys, awful deaths for the cute boys, and part of it happens in some delirious fever dream Tolkien has in the trenches of world war I

Kelly's Heroes was described as follow:

A band of ragtag U.S. Army soldiers decide to make the war worth their while by stealing gold from the Nazis.

Tolkien (2019)

“You are the most remarkable spirit I have ever met. You have courage and resourcefulness… talent. You're proud… maddeningly, wonderfully, so; and you are cunning and vibrant and completely alive. You deserve every happiness you find. No… no, you don't. You don't deserve happiness, that's not what I… what I mean is, you deserve much more. You deserve magic.”

OH MY GOD I AM HEMORRHAGING

[arwendeluhtiene]

Late 14th Century-early 15th Century damask cottehardie with linen chemise (comissioned), tablet-woven silk fillet (comissioned), decorative veil beaded with faux pearls (by me), leather embossed belt and purse (comissions), at a Tolkien convention back in 2019. Featuring Tarmaerika and DarkSapiens.

The hairstyle is a typical 14th Century style with double 3-strand braids coiled around the ears and crossed over the head to be gathered at the nape of the neck. I used 2 open pins which are very similar to those used back then, as well as a wool burgundy and moss green paranda braided with my hair to add thickness and colour to the style.
