In the movie “1917,” World War II soldiers are dispatched into “no man’s land” amid trench warfare. But the name goes back nearly a millennium to a different war.

Fresh off its win at the Golden Globes for best motion picture drama, the World War I epic “1917” shot to the top of the box office in its first week in wide release and racked up 10 Oscar nominations.

The film follows two young British soldiers as they set out on a seemingly impossible mission: to hand-deliver a vital message by crossing “no man’s land,” the hellish middle zone between the French and German trench lines on the war’s western front.To Read the Full Story

100 years later and most people don't even realize this was a quid pro quo so talmudic 'jews' could run a criminal network out of Palestine. This movie, like the rest is Satanic. You get a Federal Reserve in 1913, which is usury based as well and profoundly Satanic.

WWI, WWII . . whatever, so long as Trump did nothing wrong . . meyright WSJ?

'amid' trench warfare? Amid? You guys are in a rut.

White House. No Honest Man Zone

I had not ever seen my country's media retweets correct information when they miss tweets or miss information 😂

We are supposed to take your info about war 1000 years ago? You can't even get one 100 years ago right.

WW I a few more years til WWII.

WSJ hiring millennials now

Fire the intern!

didn't realize it was a time travel flick. when did the ww2 soldiers show up? I missed that part

1917 is WWI. Most WWII soldiers weren’t even born yet

How embarrassing

'WWI, WW II, Spanish-American War, Trump did nothing wrong, whatever . . ' - , probably.

It was WWI there Journal.

This is DineshDSouza level history right here.

L

Wrong war, but no matter. Your readers are Trump followers. They won’t notice... If they do, they’ll still believe it...Just like they believe the unemployment number was really 30% when Trump took office & that Obama, not Bush, was in command at the start of the Great Recession.

Pretty sure WWI was 1917...WWII was later, like 1939-1945...the one with the Nazis

Not ww 2 but World War One!!!!!

Sure hope someone points out the error

Which war?

Trump-leaning Wall Street Journal doesn’t know basic history. 1917 was during WWI, not WWII, you fools 🙄

40 million died only to be forgotten a 100 years later by

World war 1 you clowns NOT world war 2.

WWI soldiers. It'd be quite a different movie if they were WWII soldiers.

Didn't know this was a movie about time travel! Will definitely check it out now!

I doubt they were WWII soldiers. Unless time travel is involved

Wow - I am excited to see this, given that it is a Time- Traveling period piece. Lookout DowntonAbbey Here comes Marty McFly!

1917 is WW I

Even is already forgetting history. The Great War not WWII.

1917. WWI 🤦‍♂️

Or WWI for fuck sakes.

World War II soldiers In 1917

Really, world war II? Come the fuck on

WWI, Einsteins 🙄🙄🙄

WWI always gets dissed

WWI*

World War I. Idiots

World War 1

the road to perdition

1917 is world war 1

One too many Roman numerals there
