The Wipers Times (2013)

When Captain Fred Roberts discovered a printing press in the ruins of Ypres, Belgium in 1916, he decided to publish a satirical magazine called The Wipers Times - "Wipers" being army slang for Ypres. Full of gallows humour, The Wipers Times was poignant, subversive and very funny. Produced literally under enemy fire and defying both authority and gas attacks, the magazine proved a huge success with the troops on the western front. It was, above all, a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. In his spare time, Roberts also managed to win the Military Cross for gallantry.

The Wipers Times presented them as two men with a shared and anarchic sense of humour and Ben Chaplin and Julian Rhind-Tutt (both excellent) had a great time trading quips and drinks while keeping their lips appropriately stiff.

We just saw The Wiper Times on cable. We never heard of it when it was released in theaters but it's definitely a movie to see if you like your World War I trench warfare leavened with a bit of wry humor.

This is a true story and that what makes it a great film. It recounts well enough the time spent in the trenches in french areas fighting the germans (the huns) by our hero and his group. A group that knew and understood the futility, the ironies, the absurdities of the whole venture. The tone of the film is exceptionally well atuned to the story. The story itself is definitely someting to know. The horrors of war are not graphically exposed but are hinted with period photos and films.

People who still care about World War I will never stop looking for one more perspective, one more story or one more description of those terrible days of walking into machine gun fire, being bombed to smithereens or being gassed to death under a blue sky. It was a time of bayonets and charges. Tens of thousands killed in a day. Hand to hand combat in zero degree temperatures. A whole generation of boys and men gone. This is a movie presenting a little sense of humor to the madness. It's British humor so it may not appeal to Americans so much but the general effect was an earnest attempt to shed some light on a small corner of the war and pay homage to men who brought a smile where smiles were hard to find and a laugh to men who might have thought it impossible considering the circumstances. This was a slice of history well done.

At the start of this Chaplin says to Rhind-Tutt 'We've got plenty of ink, we've got paper, but no copy'. The writers too had paper and ink but no real idea what they wanted to do here. It's not grim enough to be a film about the triumph of the spirit in war - in fact, judging by the explosions the British army is up against boys with fireworks in an abandoned factory in Lancashire - and it's not funny enough to be a comedy either in the mould of the last Blackadder. Instead, it gives in to the sin of self parody of stiff upper lipped British officers leading the charge with dopey working class lads in the ranks scratching their heads at it all. It's an overused trope, the class issue in WWI and it's pummelled into submission here. I half expected Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse to wander on set as a pair of ludicrous senior officers sporting buck teeth and monocles. It's a story worth telling but it needs to be told better than this. Jolly bad show, chaps.
