Peter Jacksons WW1 film

Crossing the Line is a 15 minute film he made in 2007. It demonstrates the capabilities of some allegedly fantastic new camera called RED and the film was shown at various RED demonstrations (to the film industry). It is not mentioned in IMDB, but is mentioned on sites discussing the camera.

Although he does have an accurate looking replica 1/1 scale Tank Mark IV (which can also be seen on youtube), from what I've read and seen, it is not clear whether the tank is in this film or not. A 2.5 minute clip from a 15 minute film is quite a large chunk, and it doesn't show this tank:

There is something so attractive by a WWI film. World War One was so primitive and yet so advanced at the same time. You could sit in a mud and rat filled trench and wait to be killed or go on a heroic suicide charge. If you were wounded you would have to bleed in no man land for god knows how long! When pilots were shot down they had to choose burn up with the plane, jump to your death or shoot yourself! (Since parachutes were really used back then) WWI was so horrible! But its everything you want to see in a film.

The Red Baron movie, made by a German director named M�llersch�n is out now. But except imressing pictures the film has nothing to provide. It's a cheesy story about Richthofen fell in love with the English nurse and notice, that he is absued by the German propaganda. From this moment he doesn't won't to fight anymore. All German voices, that estimatet this movie, said that it is an awful waste of money.
The German subtitle: "Sein gr��ter Sieg war die Liebe". (His greatest victory was love.) Recently a Richthofen-biographer clarify that he never has a relationship with this nurse. He disbelieved that this man had any form of relationship in his life and called him allmost narcisstic.
In the movie Richthofen bemoanes face to face with Willie II., the mighty German Emporer, that so many men dying in the fields.
What stupid mock! That's all I can say.

Hi Paul, thats a shame I was rather hoping for something better, whats wrong with film makers? dont they realise if you make such a film about a famous character you should at least stick to the history, perhaps this is�not romantic enough for modern tastes, sounds very like flyboys good graphics but terrible screen play.........

cheers
