Today's movie was Pearl (2022) and funnily enough, this is not the strangest musical tribute to the horrors of WWI that I've seen. That was in Evergreen (1934), a leftfield burst of expressionism in an otherwise normal movie, produced by people who were (mostly) all around during the actual war.

Pearl (2022). Pearl on stage in a red dress, imagining the war-torn battlefields of Europe behind her. She's in front of a kickline of women dressed to look like soldiers in the great war, but with whitened faces and doll-like red circles on their cheeks.
Evergreen (1934). On a small circular stage, a woman in a sheer white shift dress looks up as a piston comes down on her to transform her into a weapon of war. The previous woman who underwent this is walking away, dressed in futuristic black-and-silver armor. The stage is surrounded by women dressed in the same armor, lifting their arms in exultation of the war machine. Behind them all, giant industrial flywheels
Evergreen (1934). These armored women each stand in what looks like a cross-section of a human-sized bullet. They ride a conveyor belt into a metallic chamber and emerge on another conveyor belt, higher up, as giant human-sized shells.
Evergreen (1934). The armored women climb a zig-zagging industrial walkway upwards, all stepping in unison. Out in front, the star of the show gestures with a baton. She's dressed in all silver armor and flanked by two women in the standard black armor.
