Regeneration

This is movie Regeneration is my favorite World War I era film. It is a very intense and graphic film, but the ending (this clip) shows only one small bit of gruesome after-war dead. My interest is in the last 5-6 minutes where there is a jump cut that helps continue the emotional storyline to the conclusion most war films and especially WWI films share: futility and it's sad "necessary" effects on the world the act of war leaves behind. The film is also known as Behind the Lines, and is a book I haven't read.
