Not sure if this has been posted before. I can't see it anywhere, but then I haven't got my specs on so it might be lurking in a corner somewhere and I've missed it.

Has anyone else seen this?

I watched it this morning and thought it was quite good, despite the fact that JRT is sporting some less than attractive facial hair!

:pelt

Before you all throw rotten tomatoes at me for making that comment, I do think the man is a god, but if you've seen this film then you'll understand what I mean about the moustache - it's a flaw on otherwise perfect features.

It also stars loads of other people like Daniel Craig, James Darcy, Danny Dyer, Paul Nicholls...

Ohhh was it on telly :unsure: I am not a facial hair lover, so am not offended by your facial hair comment :thumbsup

Is it a big part and does he have to "go over the top" never to be seen again :sob

No, it wasn't on tv but I was treating myself to a few dvds to cheer myself up, and I thought I'd give it a go.
He does have quite a big part in it, and because it isn't really an action war film you get a lot of 'character' rather then just explosions and carnage. It's obvious how it ends, but the film is more about individuals within the war than the overall war itself (if that makes any sense?!).
It basically follows one platoon in the final 36hours before the Battle of the Somne. JRT plays the officer, and Daniel Craig plays the sergeant.

Not the best film ever made, but definitely worth a look if you can get hold of a copy.

After the end of Blackadder Goes Forth, I'm not sure I could stand another ending like that (assuming the ending is in a similar vein) but it sounds interesting so I might see if I can track it down. I'd never heard of it before so thanks for the info, bingle.

It is very similar to Blackadder ending, but then they couldn't really 'keep it real' without that. It is worth watching tho - just have a box of tissues handy!!

I'm already sniffing and I haven't even seen it! :lol:

I take it this is a dramatic film?

Yes definitely a drama rather than a comedy.
(Although having rewatched it, Daniel Craig's accent and JRT's 'tache should be given their own comedy show!)
Still definitely worth watching tho.

Was just browsing on the interenet and found trench!!! Got my mum to buy it for me cos its only 5 pound on the HMV site!

ooh lucky you let me know if it's any good and if it is i may have to go to yours and watch loads of dvd's with you :)

Will do....YAY dvd marathons

Only a fiver. Oooooo errrrr. Am very very tempted.

Go on... you know you want to...

... just watch out for the facial hair.

Does it attack out of no where!! Is it evil!!

It's... unusual... and somehow... wrong.

...also evil.

Well I've seen one or two clips so I know what to expect. We get to see his ears as well don't we :o

I had forgotten the ears... bless him.

I'm quite amazed that there is proof he has them :P

I think I've seen a clip of this on the JRT fansite but I may well be wrong!

I've only gone and done it. I've ordered the DVD :high

Well I was ordering two of The Office DVD's from HMV so just tagged Trench on as well :)

There a picture of him on the back of the DVD you can see the ears haha :lol:

I quite liked the film, it wasnt as dark if you kow what i mean, i guess hollywood films decided against sunshine!!
Julians character is quite sweet, i dont think you get to learn enough about the characters to be honest, cos there is an under story to julian and daniel craigs characters which are begging to be told!

Maybe that's the sign of very good acting, making us believe there's more to their characters then just the measily scripts they've been given. Not that I can comment on this really as I haven't seen it yet :rolleyes:

I liked it, i can say if you do or not, but Julians moustache is just adorable, but im sure the end will make you cry, as it did me!!!

i may have to watch this..........just to see what ur all on about hehee

Well having purchased the DVD at great expense :rolleyes: the BBC have decided to show the film for free next Monday 5 Feb at 11.35 pm on BBC1.

I managed to watch my very expensive DVD a couple of days ago and I hope JRT never has to act with a moustache again :o

Can now fully agree with xjessx now I've watched my very expe......... etc. etc. They could have explored these two characters a lot more, but they were obviously concentrating more on the young lads, but even then we don't get much more insight with them.

yay I can't wait to see it now :)

I shall make sure i watch/record next week :)

if it's any good I may buy the dvd but like i have said many a time but i am really poor :(

oooh hurrah it's on the tv :D

Well JRT hardly appears in the DVD extras, and it's not really the sort of film you're going to watch over and over again, so it's probably just worth recording it off the telly ;)

haha was going to say this was on monday but i guess i was beaten to it!! I might watch it again!!

It's on in half an hour just in case anyone's forgotten!

Aww!! thank you for reminding me!!

hello!! nice to see you posting! you should do so more often!!

gutted i didn't get to see it... was just in history and remebered it was on

i watched a bit last night, but i had to go to bed.
but i taped it!
and aww bless him :P

oops i forgot!
