Ezra back again with another film I’ve seen that’s relevant to this unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benediction<\/em>, a 2022 film, follows the life of Siegfried Sassoon. It’s meant to be a “biographical romantic drama film”, and, if I recall correctly, doesn’t focus a ton<\/em> on the war. But the war is definitely a looming presence. The reason it’s relevant to this unit is, well, obviously it’s a biography of Sassoon, but also it covers Sassoon’s meeting of Wilfred Owen in the hospital facility and their time in that facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (It also stars Jack Lowden as Sassoon which, if you saw my post on The Passing Bells<\/em>, you shall know is a benefit to me because, hey, I think he’s pretty cute.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, disclaimer that I’ve only seen this once, when it first came out (also I was on a plane at the time), so if you don’t like it or if it’s actually horrible, don’t come for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ezra back again with another film I’ve seen that’s relevant to this unit.
