Testament of Youth was a film about a young girl called Vera
who had a passion for studying and was desperate to get the chance to extend
her studies at Oxford University however World War 1 had commenced and many of
her close relations and friends got involved in the war and the fighting. Vera
decided she wanted to join and help so she stopped her studies and became a
nurse for the wounded soldiers. This took Vera on many adventures and she saw a
lot. The movie is touching and emotional as it shows the harsh reality of how
dangerous the war was and how millions of people lost loved ones due to the
war. I personally found the film to drag on a little bit, I think they didn’t need
a lot of stuff that they put in the film as it seemed to make the film prolong
and it wasn’t really getting to the point. However saying it seeming a little
long, I did enjoy parts of the movie and I think it was very cleverly made from
a book into a film and the director did a good job of capturing the emotions
that people in World War 1 must have felt.
