Wilfred Owen "Dulce et Decorum Est" WW1 Poem Animation

Wilfred Owen, generally considered the best of the English poets who made World War I their subject, has been on my mind for an odd reason: some of the spam I've been getting uses bits of his poetry in the subject line. Welcome to the twenty-first century, I guess. On the other hand, another twenty-first century phenomenon is the spread of homegrown computer animation, such as this example. Owen seems to speak his own poetry. Not perfect, but still pretty cool. And the subject matter is, alas, still relevant.
