Synopsis

Just after World War I, Captain Fred Roberts (Ben Chaplin) goes for a job as a newspaper journalist and tells the sub-editor how, in the trenches in 1916, he discovered a printing press in working order. Helped by ex-printer Sergeant Harris (Steve Oram) and with his friend Jack Pearson (Julian Rhind-Tutt) as his assistant, he sets up the Wipers Times--the name coming from the soldiers' pronunciation of the town Ypres.

Despite disapproval from officious Lieutenant Colonel Howfield (Ben Daniels), but with backing from sympathetic General Mitford (Sir Michael Palin), they produce 23 issues of a satirical magazine (its articles represented on-screen in black-and-white) which boosts morale and even gets mentioned in the Tatler.

The press is destroyed by a German shell, but another is found and the paper's title changed to fit in with wherever the regiment is deployed. Pearson and Roberts are awarded gallantry medals, but when the sub-editor offers Roberts only the job of crossword compiler, Roberts moves to Canada as a prospector, while Pearson marries and opens a hotel in Argentina. Both survived into the 1960s.

I found the soundtrack of The Wipers Times to be lacking in emotional depth and failed to capture the intensity and hardships of war. The music felt monotonous and uninspiring, failing to evoke any strong feelings or connection to the characters' experiences.

The score seemed out of place at times, with jarring transitions between scenes that disrupted the flow of the storytelling. It did not enhance the overall viewing experience and left me feeling disconnected from the narrative, as if the music was an afterthought rather than a crucial element of the film.
