Watching a blinded soldier scream in absolute fear of death while Wendigoon chows down on hummus is the most bizarre thing I've seen all week. Great video

The thought of stabbing someone then spending hours with that person while he dies is so haunting and sad. I couldn't imagine anything more horrific or sad.

I like how Wendigoon says "he's so funny" and "this is highly entertaining" with a huge smile and in the clip he just continues to casually munch on hummus with no sight of entertainment on his face

“One death is a tragedy, six million is a statistic.” I feel like that quote really speaks to how we as a people tend to look back on wars.

Paul has a childhood collection of butterflies and him reaching for the butterfly at the end is really him reaching for the life he had before the horror of war. Really can’t recommend the film or book enough. Thank you for this, Wendigoon.

The part of the book that always stuck out to me is when Paul’s squad faces artillery fire while in a graveyard. Not only dirt was kicked up by the explosions, but pieces of wooden caskets and human remains rained down on them too

The fact that a nearly 100 year old movie has copyright issues is insane to me

[flarethefolf]

the fact that Wendigoon was basically forced to be a reaction youtuber just to put this video out shows how much Youtube caters to reaction channels

[bigslurpee]

The screaming when Behm is blinded genuinely frightened me. This whole film is insane, especially for the time.

"If it weren't for these uniforms we could have been friends you and I"...dude I'm actually starting to cry. What a powerful line. That whole scene makes me sick to my stomach

[MayatheAmazon]

The absolute irony that the audience from so many countries all universally reacted to this film, in the same exact manner that the people in Paul’s town (teachers, students, etc) reacted to him saying “war is not what it’s been made out to be guys.” That in itself is satirical

[CCorvidd]

the fact that, when i was watching, i was interrupted by an army recruitment ad is... a cosmic level of situational irony. lord have mercy.

Not only do we get a new video, we also get to see how slowly wendigoon is building a mansion out of magic spoon boxes

[BacnManYT]

The scene where he is asking forgiveness to a corpse is something that struck me in the soul, it is very sad as he begs something that can't answer. Truly a tragedy.

[rebelworld]

So sad to see that this is the last footage of Wendigoon before he got trapped in Sand Cave for 15 days straight, Internet Historian just talked about this tragedy

49:57 The fact that Paul’s death is offscreen and we only have his hand to show he died is soooo so much better than showing Paul die onscreen. To that sniper, Paul was just another German enemy to take care of. And on top of that, that hand could belong to any soldier (although we know it’s Paul), making him just another faceless casualty in a war he didn’t want. And that applies for all the soldiers; they’re just another casualty, another note to send to another family, another grave to dig, another hospital bed to empty and fill, another tick mark added to the death toll. 😭

Having WWI veterans basically recreate something traumatizing from their past was probably really weird. My great great grandfather faught in the trenches and whenever my grandfather asked him about anything related to WWI and the trenches, he’d get scary PTSD attacks and start hyperventilating. If someone’s trauma was triggered by even mentioning, I can’t imagine filming a movie about it.

Soldier: *having a mental breakdown*
Wendigoon: ☕️🗿

The fact that WW1 veterans appear in the 1930 movie makes it even more incredible.
Truly a masterpiece ahead of it's time.
