It was funny in the theatre last night because there were two boys sitting in the row in front of me who got in the habit of punching the air and saying, "Yay, Canada!" during certain points in the film. However, the one kid obviously has to work on his reading and comprehension skills because he said, "Yay, Canada!" after a line came up on the screen saying that the enemy front took Passchendaele back the following year. I was tempted to point out that this was not a "Yay, Canada!" moment as all those men essentially sacrificed their lives for nothing. I mean, it was definitely heroic, and a big victory at the time, but what did it accomplish in the end?
