So true, a true masterpiece!

[@reginadeer8316]

True !!!😁 One great scene !!!😊

[@caitlinjoy6332]

George Mackay’s performance was Oscar worthy! I can’t believe he wasn’t nominated.

Timothee chalamet deserves an oscar

[@nicolelawless3199]

Caitlin Joy I know he deserves one

[@loggothedoggo]

@@ayatollahbiden575 Fr his acting in "The King" was beyond amazing. No better actor for the role.

[@kaydempsey2748]

These two “UNKNOWNS “ should be getting the oscars

[@AaronHahnStudios]

Since when is Game of thrones "unknown"? Welcome to the world Kay, just open your eyes.

[@AaronHahnStudios]

@Om Patel Large enough role!? You have no idea. He was "The F**king legend from Gin ally". The leader of the Mutiny at Crasters Keep, the killer of Mormont from Bear Island & endured a mouthful death from Jon Snow.! He was a important character.! Welcome to the world Om.

[@AaronHahnStudios]

@Om Patel He looks exactly the same. I recognised him immediately.

[@jirk3719]

That moment in the film when that soldier was singing First time that the hole theatre was quite So beautiful

[@jirk3719]

nope ahh i feel it haha hope it come on netfix for you so you can heard it for quite

nope aight bro

[@danielplayle5663]

@nope that woman has no respect for the movie for what the movie was showing us for what it was like a what are ancestors went throw that woman was born with a silver spoon up her ass

[@honeyb8103]

Lmao I was still crying during this scene because I just couldn’t crying

[@jomurphy1654]

An incredible film, George Mackay's emotional repertoire seems to encompass a whole generation of previous souls, such reading of humanity....

[@suzieberndt]

Beautifully said

[@jomurphy1654]

[@stardustflower]

George is an amazing actor and such a lovely, sweet gentleman. He's been in a lot of independent films over here so I can kind of understand why he's not really well known around the world. His career has sky-rocketed with 1917.

[@historiansparadise3391]

These two better be nominated for Oscars, their performances were OUTSTANDING. I loved the movie so much.

[@fraidycat7037]

They are not.

[@historiansparadise3391]

Fraidy Cat yeah it’s unfortunate

[@MeiranieNurtaeni]

Yess. Agree.

[@beatrizbarrios974]

They should've been there... this is my favorite of all the nominees to best picture

[@historiansparadise3391]

Beatriz Barrios sameeee just because they’re relatively “unknown” they didn’t get nominated which is crap because they played their roles soo well

[@AstenRegis]

The best film of the last 10 years. An absolute masterpiece! You have to see it in the cinema theatre!

[@stipe9k]

Just saw it today. Was kinda let down.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

@@stipe9k I saw it today. It's a masterpiece.

[@nicolelawless3199]

Farzaan Ali It was depressing enough but Amazing movie no matter how upset I was

[@fettfan91]

One of the best parts of the film was the realistic chemistry of their two characters and it’s evident in this interview. Excellent casting.

[@kparker905]

I know. I wasn't really in the mood for a war movie and so I did think it was good/okay, but the best part for me was their chemistry. It really sold it for me

[@ash-xr6ri]

you could really tell how much their characters loved and cared for each other and its so nice to see its the same way in real life, agreed 100% excellent casting!

[@kparker905]

When he said "age before beauty" in the film, I started noticing just how close the two characters were and got very intrigued by their chemistry as friends. It wasn't just him making fun of him or poking at him, it was also the George character saying that he was willing to put down his life for the other guy, no matter how they quarreled. I do not think that was a good way to describe it but I tried and am tired

[@pursuitofvictories5]

bro omg yes 🥺🥺 well said

[@西丈一郎-v5j]

theyre boyfriends 😙✌

[@amory2104]

yeah ikr! i almost feel as if Schofield did what he did for Blake at the end.

[@tinalouisestagg]

When they are walking through the cherry orchard and Blake is talking about all the different cherry varieties, Schofield says “How on Earth would you know this?” in a wonderful way that illustrates the class difference between them and renders it meaningless at the same time.

[@sashaxlune]

Just watched the film today. It’s now one of my favourite movies ever. I’ll definitely be watching it a second time in theatres

[@shar_18]

George MacKay deserves an Oscar and that's on that

he should win for best actor

[@w-r-s-a_9831]

I think he’s awful

[@stardustflower]

Why do you think he's awful? Just wondering.

[@softshallow7435]

What a travesty that these two did not get nominated for lead and supporting actors at the Oscars! The film came out here in U.K on January 10th, these two didn’t even register on my radar, but after watching the film twice now, this wed and Thursday i can confidently say they were both robbed of a nomination for lead and supporting actor nominations. The film is one of if not best war films I’ve ever seen, a tour de force in cinematic history!

[@jordanfelix4416]

Watch the films for which Hanks, Hopkins, Pacino, Pesci and Pitt were nominated and then you'll release that the acting in 1917 was good but not great or Oscar-worthy.

[@Bertaut]

Considering he hadn't seen the movie yet, this was a really good interview.

[@zinitevioki9015]

Stephen Campbell I’ve never seen them In movies either really really talented guys

[@koolerking440]

I think Goerge and Dean need actors awards. There's no getting line wrong, or "doing it in post", ADR, etc. To be in that zone as an actor for 7-8 minutes I think very rare.

[@tobiasbourne9073]

I’ve watched it twice already and I cried both times as well

[@nicolelawless3199]

WW2 UK Me too I cried more the second time

[@SuperFosterMom]

George MacKay got shafted out of an Oscar nomination

[@reneelasswell3734]

I am so looking forward to this, it looks fabulous. George MacKay was fantastic in Pride and I loved Dean Charles Chapman in GoT although he is such a babyface it's hard to imagine him as a soldier.

[@Michael-hc2vs]

Renee Lasswell agreed but that’s the point, many soldiers in world war 1 were incredibly young, teenagers basically

[@xkaeos]

@@thal08emd97 some were even 14

[@weasley2o13]

George's voice hasn't even changed yet and my grandfather joined the army in Israel when he was 15 after he survived the holocaust. The army is full of very brave children.

[@dothisjohndothatjohn2754]

Lots of underage boys joined up. My Great Uncle left the green fields of Ireland to fight in France. Private Ryan was awarded the Military Medal for bravery before being wounded in another battle, patched up and sent out again to fight at the Somme, where he was killed in 1916 aged only 20 years. He is remembered at the Thiepval Memorial.

[@kaitkat3034]

George is such an amazing actor.. blows minds

I just saw it today here in Chicago and I loved it! George and Dean did an amazing job in this movie. I am a huge war movie buff and I already have a ticket to see it a second time next week. My screening was almost totally full. Everyone, please go see this movie, it is amazing.

[@fergusmoffat8926]

Was one of the best Films I have ever seen and the acting was the best I've seen in a decade. This will become a classic.

[@lilmisssunshine0425]

i cried at the end 😭 also, that whole bit about the long takes, I WAS IMPRESSED 👏🏼 great job ❤️

[@shanal1640]

I just thought that it was so sweet that Dean gave tears durring the making of this film.(did you know once they finished the film Dean ripped a button off his war jacket and it's sitting on his windowsill.) George MacKay was spectacular... I'm without words for the way he made this movie so perfect. This whole set was a legend. Great performance! RECOMMENDATION: if your looking foward to seeing this movie, go to Imagine theaters, the surround sound makes you think that your literally in the war with these spectacular characters. My new fav❤ movie!

[@Codex7777]

George is ridiculously handsome! :)

[@mr_nuke8277]

Went to see it in the theater and its my favourite movie

[@saoh9253]

I love an interview, because actor’s native accent can hear. I love Dean Charles Chapman’s Essex accent. He has been acting since he was so little from Billy Elliot’s little boy’s role to Billy Elliot.

[@joycegibbs5267]

love the accent too, but getting rarer. Used to be an East End accent, sadly no more. And the accent now gets insults because of Towie, (even though they're great people). That's the PC, leftie culture we have enforced on us now.

[@ust7243]

Just saw it. It’s incredible. Lots of great movies this year.

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

I saw 1917 yesterday. It’s amazing how Mendes managed to portray war artistically. I was mesmerized throughout and would see it again.

[@sustrue5970]

Nice to be young. Two cute talented actors. I loved 1917 movie.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

congrats to u men....especially George. most amazing flick ive seen in years. hope u win Oscars!!!

[@DH-gk8vh]

Incredible. You know when an actor(s) can so thoroughly draw you in you begin living it with them. You forget where you are, that your so immersed it seems completely real. That's a great actor. These guys are so young. They both must be old souls. If you haven't seen this movie yet, do! I have watched this movie 5 times now, and every time I am blown away. They both deserve Oscar's. The entire movie is just a huge accomplishment. Incredible.

[@stardustflower]

It was so cleverly done. Not just with the one-take thing but where the camera is at certain times. Just before THAT scene around halfway though for example the camera deliberately is trained on George when he's at that water pump so we literally only see what he sees and realise as he realises, if that makes sense. Sorry, hard to explain.

[@DH-gk8vh]

@@stardustflower Oh no, I totally get what you're saying. So you experience what he experiences in the moment. Yes, beautifully done.

[@stardustflower]

Thanks. Definitely. I thought it was so beautifully acted and the cinematography was stunning.

[@QueziaJones]

I just click on this interview because World War movies are fascinating to me, and this one really seems a great one... I'm excited to see it now haha :)

Looks like Dean-Charles is going places, to step into such an incredible movie. '1917' is leaps and bounds ahead of GoT.

[@SharkWithFreakinLaserBeam]

Eh, not really. Apples and oranges. 1917 is meant for you to focus only on his character. GoT had a bigger picture.
