Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })They Shall Not Grow Old is a World War I documentary by Peter Jackson released in 2018 in commemoration of the centenary of the war's conclusion.The film focuses on the common British soldiers' experiences rather than providing a detailed overview of the war. The visuals rely on archive footage that has been digitally restored and given colorization in an attempt to show the war as the soldiers saw it. Instead of traditional documentary-style narration by presenters or historians, the film only uses the recorded voices of numerous British veterans who were interviewed about their experiences. Sound effects and voice acting are also added to the war footage to provide an immersive experience.

Body Horror: Some of the soldiers talk about the effects of trench foot. One soldier describes seeing a friend get mortally wounded by an artillery shell who he immediately puts out of his misery.

Book Ends: The film begins with black-and-white footage in a small, square screen, accompanied by the sound of a film reel. When the war starts, the screen grows and colorizes. At the war's conclusion at the end of the film, the film shrinks back down, fades back into black and white, and the film reel sound returns.

Bawdy Song: The end credits are played to the risqué song "Mademoiselle from Armentières." Jackson says that some versions of the lyrics his team discovered were incredibly filthy, and they decided on using one of the tamer versions.
