ELI5: Why are there so many WW2 movies and hardly no movies on WW1?
gpt
WW1 was a long bloody slog with people living, fighting and dying ontop of the bodies of those that died before, more soldiers dieing of disease then from bullets (although i am not sure if that takes infections from unjuries recieved in combat into that number) and no clear good guy. Its hard to make a compelling movie when everything about it was terrible. WW1 has the same problem (in movies) that Vietnam has, how do you portray the unending grind in a two or three hour movie? Its difficult to show just how digging foxholes filled with corpses actually is for a person. Let alone digging into a corpse of a friend. 

And then trying to live in it for weeks.
