1917 MOVIE REVIEW | ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR?!

[@matthewheywood8532]

Tolkien was in WW1 and a lot of lord of the rings was based off his experiences there. Mordor is basically no mans land

[@bagel8553]

He actually said that LotR was not inspired by his time in the war, but I think It's hard to have an experience like that and not have some influences from it in other things you do.

[@whoknowswhocares885]

Mordor is Arizona

[@Darkanent]

Matthew Heywood you’re right.

[@eodyn7]

@Nicholas How would you know?

[@MySerpentine]

The Dead Marshes are definitely No Man's Land in the rain.

[@Argos-xb8ek]

Real talk the way people had to live during ww1 was atrocious

[@gary_ent]

that was definitely one of the darkest period in history, if not facing horrible deaths on battlefield, soldiers being in these trenches 24 hours or so, getting all kind of diseases, some would have severe trauma, call shell shock. that was some crazy shit, and to think this war would have lead to some changes, not at all, then later on WWII

If you have an interest in learning more about it, look up The Great War channel here on YT. You won't find a more detailed insight other than books.

[@Elementa2006]

@@gary_ent not to mention how much soldiers lives were treated like cattle by their officials. Even in something like Blackadder Goes Forth, which was a comedic take on the period, there's a sense of tragedy within the show especially the final episode.

[@1MarkKeller]

hmm

[@danielhartnett9242]

airraverstaz I second that. After I heard about this movie I started watching their videos. Very well done.

[@HerosTheme]

WW1 is frighteningly interesting to me. The incompetencies of the leadership, the valor of the men forced to move forward on the front lines, the savagery of people who were losing their minds, and the brotherhood between both sides of the war. It was such an important but horrifying war.

[@thx500]

HerosTheme incredibly underrated. It's a far more complex war than WWII.

[@silkyjohnson4208]

I love studying both I'd say they are equal in horror and death but something about ww1 makes it different. The individual soldier flat out didn't matter. It was nothing to lose tens of thousands in a day. Wouldn't even make anyone bat an eye

[@Steg_The_Man]

Nah, sequel was better

[@shortyboyhero]

The best and worst lesson of WW1 is that ultimately it amounted to nothing. Thousands died for literally nothing. WW1 had that ultimate lesson that WW2 didn't, Which is, if the objective isn't clear enough you'll end up damning your nation.

expet those were all good this movie sucked it was extremely boring

[@bryan-goforth]

I have some thoughts 🤔 1917 is unlike any war film I've ever seen! This movie was shot in the most stunningly beautiful way possible. Cinematographer Roger Deakins (Almost all of the Coen Brothers films, Sicario, How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2 and Bladerunner 2049 😍) alongside director Sam Mendes (as well as the rest of the crew of course) crafted a harrowing journey that doesn't let up at all during its 2 hour runtime. You feel as if you are right alongside our main characters as they push across enemy lines to save 1,600 British soldiers from an ambush set by German soldiers. The score by Thomas Newman, who has been creating great scores for decades, has created his BEST and gloomiest score to date. I was audibly hooked thirty seconds into the film 🎶👏🎶 I can't wait to sit down with the score soon! There are a ton of a-list stars in this film but they all have very little screen time (Richard Madden was the absolute best of the bunch in my opinion) compared to Dean-Charles Chapman and George Mackay and this is where the film excells. You are left with two everyday young soldiers that are given an impossible task and you form a bond with them as they make their way across the war torn country side. There are startling, heart wrenching, suspenseful, horrifying and inspiring moments throughout the entire film and they ALL need to be experienced on the BIG screen. I often tell people to see movies on the BIG screen but I've never meant it as much as I do right now. Don't go into this film thinking you're seeing something along the lines of Saving Private Ryan or Apocalypse Now. 1917 is much more intimate compared to those films and that is why it is such a unique cinematic experience. I will be seeing this again before it leaves the theater without a doubt. Don't sleep on this film! Trust me, it's an experience unlike any you've had before at the cinema.

[@Vibration_Crew]

You have to remember this was the start of industrial war with new technologies. Most armies back then were still using cavalry tactics in the face of dug in well position machine guns. Volley fire tactics where everyone stands in a line, in front of machine gun positions. Then you have to add in the the amount of artillery used. Near Verdun over 2million shells fell on three forts held bravely by the French soldiers. Old tactics used again & again against modern killing machines. Young men left England eager to join their friends and go to war only to discover the worst of hell that none of us could ever imagine.

Both my grandads got shot twice each in the trenches, one a private the other an RSM and neither would talk about the war, my dad who was in the RAF in WW11 crept up behind the two old men at a in house party and heard his father (RSM) whisper to the other grandad 'yes I had to shoot em when they ran away but would let them run if the officers weren't around' Oh and his train of thought was 'the only good german is a dead one'.My mother said she could put her hand in the hole in her dads back (private), To this day I have always been in awe of the truly insane nature of WW1.

[@Corialtavi]

My Great Uncle was Killed at Noreuil 2 days before the date this film is set on, he died on the 2nd of April 1917. The red cross notes say his last words to a friend who saw him carried from the field were that he did not think they could fix him up and he expected to die. The place he was buried was fought over again later and his grave was lost. The scene with the song was like he had entered Elysium with the blossom and the voice.

[@snkfan7506]

This film was excellent from start to finish. They did a great job. I don't know if it will win for best picture but, it better win for best cinematography.

[@christopherlowery3797]

I hate that The Lighthouse’s only nomination if for cinematography (seriously, no acting nominations for that one?), & was unfairly bitter towards 1917 since I’d assumed it would possibly win. After seeing it...still would like for The Lighthouse to win the only category it’s nominated for, but I would understand if 1917 beats it. Shit was mind-boggling. Reminded me a bit of MGS5, where the camera is always following over Snake’s shoulder. Never seen the one-take simulation done more effectively; there was no escaping the tension, & we felt what the characters felt.

[@banyarling]

"Rope" is still amazing. There's a free version with Farsi subtitles on YT somewhere

[@rlfrohs6123]

Actually, we lost more men in war during the civil war than in ww2 and ww1 and Vietnam combined. Death in the civil war was due to infections of limbs amputated and no medications. They did have alcohol but that was about it in the civil war. I'm pretty sure alcohol was offered in ww1 too. All wars are hell.

[@andrewdeen1]

this movie was so unbelievably great. compare this to 'midway' that came out a little minute ago..

[@GregPivo87]

A lot of this movie felt like The Last Of Us. Especially the first half - the two of them exploring abandoned areas, determining what happened, encountering one or two guys who are major threats.

[@thepaintingbanjo8894]

1917 felt way more real than Dunkirk. Dunkirk looked like they had a huge shortage of extras in a town that doesn't look the least believably war-torn (the beaches were extremely crowded with soldiers and Dunkirk was basically turned to rubble back in 1940). In 1917, the people in the trenches and then the offense at the end felt legit and claustrophobic with practical effects and limited CGI galore.

[@Nelson_Swamp]

"Saving Private Ryan" and "Platoon" are the definitive war movies in my opinion.

[@maloperverso8118]

Why!?

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

Feel free to add: Das Boot (Wolfgang Petersen version) - claustrophobic thriller following German sub crew in the battle for the Atlantic. The Cruel Sea - beautifully written, terse 50's British movie about a small corvette tasked with sinking subs and protecting convoys in the Atlantic. Personal favourite. Come and See - Horrifying, utterly haunting Russian film about the Nazi invasion. An emotional masterpiece that is very disturbing.

[@TVgamesandvids]

Nelson Swamp SPR for sure but def not Platoon. I’d say SPR, Full Metal Jacket, and Apocalypse Now are the iconic holy trinity of war films.

Going into watching this film, I was excited to see the single shot aspect. However, I was scared that it would be like Dunkirk with ZERO character development and almost no plot. I know many like Dunkirk, but it wasn’t my favorite. To my surprise, I loved everything about 1917. It was phenomenal. Of course the cinematography was excellent and I was so immersed with the characters and acting! I got emotional in several scenes. Overall, one of the best movies I have ever seen!

[@moriahgamesdev]

'Bite on the other arm we cut off' lol. Gruesome but a good one.

[@mhaze210]

After DUNKIRK I had little interest in this. Dunkirk was impressive visually but felt empty at the same time. Plus whenever a WAR film is PG-13, I know it will be unrealistic. War is not PG-13... but you guys convinced me this is the War film I wanted Dunkirk to be (with an R-Rating AND Characters I actually care about).

[@Gavin48]

@Roni Rios Why do you need character development? It's best on a real effect. Young men went to die for our freedom. What more do you need? Do you really think during the war people bonded and told sob stories?

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

Yeah, I was disappointed in Dunkirk, I went in hyped but it was so lacking in scale that I couldn't believe it. It looked too ordered, no chaos, too stylistic. Having seen contemporary photos and paintings of the hundreds of ships, thousands of men and the burning town, I just couldn't buy the neatness on screen. The one shot scene from Atonement captured it far better. Shame, as a lot of effort was put into it. 1917 however, I am hopeful for. :)

Charging a trench and being machine gunned was one of the more pleasant ways to die in WW1, beats getting torn to pieces by barbed wire, gassed, getting a hellish disease, starvation, or thirst, and all the others.

[@EsthledoKid97]

Speaking in context of the movie, the real positive thing out of all that death and destruction of life was the actual mission of the two men: to save more lives from fighting in an unnecessary, losing battle. For me, that was the big "message" of the movie, and that is, the world is cruel and disgusting, but if you have a mission that is good and righteous, stick to it no matter what and to the end! Great movie.

[@Zefo_No]

Finally saw it myself. Great movie. Wish it was available back when you 2 saw it though. All because, since then, they've been cramming the "it's one continuous shot" aspect in it's promotion way too much. It became a detriment, because i was too aware of it and just kept noticing all the hidden cuts. Took me out of the movie a few times, instead of being immersing, as if you were there with the soldiers. Also, one of the dudes survived through way too many things. Most people would have been crippled since the bunker scene.

[@VicenteTorresAliasVits]

Movies filmed in just 1 continuous shot or edited look like that usually show impressive camera work, but I don't always praise their cinematography. The more movement there is, the harder it is to achieve the right lighting and color palette. Since you can't push the zoom button with this technique, if you want a close-up, you have to place the camera very close to the actors' faces to the point where the frame tends to look weird. 1917 made me realize that it all depends on the camera lens and the right coordination. Sam Mendes, cinematographer Roger Deakins and their crew have created images that always look good and consistent with each other. It’s hard to say what can make this technique essential or a gimmick. I can tell you that it felt necessary here, because it’s told it real time (from the protagonist’s perspective). The only downside is that, a lot of times, the camera focus on one character at a time. We can’t see the other one’s reactions and replies. People were expecting this to be nominated for many Oscars, but were surprised when one of its nominations was for Best Original Screenplay. The only nomination in that category the movie had gotten before was at the WGA, and it seemed like it happened because other movies were deemed ineligible. That made me assume this would be a movie that only excels in technical aspects. Now, I agree with that nomination. I wouldn’t have been immersed without a good story or characters. Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns present us with 2 soldiers (Schofield and Blake) that we root for and want to follow along, as well as a series of vignettes full of suspenseful and touching moments. There were a couple of moments I was able to predict, but they were the minority. There are even some details that look meaningless but cleverly pay off later in the plot. 9/10 *Spoilers ahead* A good script is one where you unexpectedly don’t have the heroes achieve their goal. A better script is one where the heroes only partly achieve their goal. Here, Schofield and Blake have to bring a message to another regiment (that Blake’s brother is a part of) warning them about a trap. Schofield does deliver the letter (how is in perfect state if he fell into a river?!), but after a lot of soldiers had already been sent to attack. Also, Blake was stabbed to death by the German soldier he was trying to save (cartoonish characterization of a villain much?). His brother *is* alive, but because he survived said trap, not because Schofield stopped him. All of this makes the drama much more satisfying.

[@EdertheJust]

[@valueofnothing2487]

I give a pass to any adventure film that is done well. The one shot stuff brings a certain intamacy, immediacy and surrealism. It is helpful to shoot this during world war 1, when there is less machinery, technology, so that it increases this feeling of individual surrealism. This movie is better than Dunkirk because Dunkirk turns into a farce as our hero goes from one improbable disaster to another. Mendez shows restraint.

My rating for 1917: *Better than Sex!!* (like a 10/10 equivalent.) A war movie that sticks out to me - immense artistic merit, transcends the generic war trope and actively makes you beat out of your heart... That simple story and oneshot could have been just another gimmick, but no. Sam Mendes actively fixates himself as the thing you keep on dreading as you expect just another war movie. One of the best war movies, period. I know there's someone out there who will give a Fuck You, but deep down they know it's just them walking out with PTSD. Another Better than Sex that I recommend: Der Untergang. More war movies I've seen: War Horse (Matinée), The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (also a Matinée)
