As good as movies are getting with special effects they still will never, ever come close to being able to portray what it was really like. Going on battle field tours around the Ypres Salient a few years ago, you kind of get a better feeling of what happened there. Still you can't feel the cold the same way the soldiers did because your not dressed entirely in wool like they were. Your not hearing the constant shelling. Its almost impossible to portray what these men went through on film.
