The Trench (1999)

This is a movie about the Battle of the Somme during World War 1. It focuses on the British soldiers waiting in the trenches for the assault to start and all the different things that each soldier went through. It has a star cast: Paul Nicholls, Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig.

Even though the film does not really show the actual fighting at the Somme, it does portray the thoughts and emotions that soldiers go through during war - especially right before a battle. War movies always show things in a patriotic and often unrealistic way, but this one shows the good and the bad.
