Vimy-Ridge


He used the poppies that grew on Flanders Field. He used the telegraphs, which represented death, the tombs of the dead people who fighted, the Vimy-Ridge building who now honoures the dead, the mother sad of someone's death, the soldier leaving his body behind and walking towards a better place.

I think the message is to honour the people we lost, since they fighted for our rights, and for reasons. We have no right of judging them because of the decisions they made, since we weren't there fighting for our lives. They protected our country, a thing that we, nowadays, we wouldn't do.

I think this is one of the best ways to show a message. Put images, words, feelings. The mother crying over her lost ones, the telegraph representing death or disappearance, the tombstones of the ones we loved. They make us think about what they have no common, and we immediately think death, because of the telegraph, the mother and the tombstones. Then we see bombs, and we think war. The author of that video doesn't say a word, but we understand by watching the video.

I would use the poppies. They are what we wear nowadays to remember the soldiers. They represent the battlefield, and the man who died fighting. They are what we use the most to remember them now, except the minute of silence.
