Beau Geste
The Great War touched every person in the world in some way, and was the war to eradicate forever any romanticism surrounding the exercise of power on the world stage. Modern technologies and antiquated ideas collided to produce a conflict so bloody and rife with casualties that its survivors called it 'The war to end all wars.' Beau Geste captures the early enthusiasm for the war, displaying national spirit in the form of colorful and merry marching bands.
