It’s not the gore, it’s the suffering of boys being sent to the trenches to die or if they didn’t die, emerge with PTSD (not that there was such a diagnosis). And for what? The amusement of powerful men.

Not much has changed. Ukraine is turning into the same trench warfare today.

OK, I understand where you're coming from. There's certainly different types of "graphic" beyond gore. Having not experienced war and trench warfare specifically, I'm not sensitive to such depictions in film and lit. I can see how others, like those with PTSD as you mention, would have difficulty viewing or reading things that many just consider media to be consumed and analyzed.
