When projected the figures are striking in their boldness and convey the story with clarity. They challenge the viewer's perspective of war, showing the futility of war and the stupidity of battle. The contrast between marching soldiers with flags flying and encouraged by well-wishers on their way to war and the sad return of the wounded limping home is clearly seen. The group of four slides 'La marche a L'etoille' shows the shepherds following the star of the East and would have been used at Christmas time in venues like the Theatre d'Ombres Chat Noir.
