I just put it down to filler and trying to wear peoples minds down.

Because we all know war is shocking but we cant put a face to the victims or anything so it does not get to you. It is all very well saying war is bad but until you see the actuall horrors you have no idea.
If you SEE a victim, if you SEE the violence, it brings it home and suddenly the horror is right in your face! I think moore showing that was a stroke of film genius excellent way to show the horror of war and to affect the audience
We all know how bad World war one and two where but we cannot imagine what it must have been like for those fighting.
