In a trench not too far away, J.R.R. Tolkien was writing the very first inklings of The Lord of the Rings.

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

though I think he may have denied it, it seems pretty obvious that parts of the books were inspired by the events of WW1 and WW2... the most chilling and memorable part of this film, the very accurate depiction of No Man's Land, a wasteland full of rotting corpses between the trenches, in particular recalls the Dread Marshes from Lord of the Rings.

[@arcanask]

There was several jump cuts. They were just masterfully blended together you don't even noticed them. It's a fantastically shot movie.

[@middleage_maniac1692]

If I remember right there was only one. When the bunker blew up it went black for a second. Could be wrong though.

[@caralayne503]

@@middleage_maniac1692there was only one cut away. The machinery they used to not cut away were cameras on zip lines, first time a film was edited & filmed this way. It’s genius!

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

They're pretty easy to spot if you are looking for them, IMO, but, yes, still masterfully done.

[@williamkirby3552]

Finding those cuts became almost a fetish for some people, so much so they lost track of the point of the movie- the human values of duty, loyalty and sacrifice.

Oh snap! 1917 has fantastic editing and cinematography. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

[@imcalledsprite]

My grandfather passed in 2006 when I was 11, but I distintly remember him reciting a memory to me of 1917 aged 3 when he and his mother received a telegram to say my great grandfather had passed on the front lines (aged 45). He said it was a foggy / smoggy day, and he remembered sitting on a wooden chair in the corner of the kitchen over a stone floor and his mother was cooking over a cast iron victorian cooking range when they got the knock on the door. Naturally he didn't realize the significance of the events at that age

I may sound ignorant but I have been a long time viewer and your commentary and dialogue has been so much more educated and researched than before and I want you to know that I notice. I initially thought, similiar to a stoner style viewer for a white guy that you weren't the brightest guy. But after watching this and previous uploads, you're a genuinely smart and logical guy and once you decide to study something you sound so much better than before when you would just laugh but without any actual context except for the usual "Stoner laugh" are you smoking less herb?

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

best one I had was with a hot girl at a showing of Batman Begins when we were the only 2 people in the cinema. 2nd best was probably Avengers Endgame midnight showing opening night in a sold out theater. But this was probably in the top 100.

Moments before disaster: "I love Blake..."

[@PowerDiva]

Scofield had a lot more experience on the battlefield than Blake. He's a bit wiser, which is why he wanted to just put the German out of his misery while Blake thought they should help him. I think in Blake's mind, because they saved him from the burning plane - he'd never hurt them. Because Blake would never hurt anyone who showed him that kind of mercy. But wartime mentality is different and this shows how naive Blake still was to that.

[@d.jparer5184]

Absolutely absurd scene! Blake should have been right about how the German would treat him. Its just unlucky that they decided to help the one German pilot who turned out to be a psychopathic murderer who valued killing for its own sake above even his own life. In reality this is just the director playing fast and loose with reality. He has a story that he wants to tell and he is willing to make up whatever he needs to to tell it, regardless of the films lack of historical realism. Screw the real history, screw common sense, screw the men who actually fought in the war and screw every single German too. Its like a child wrote this film with a child's understanding of war.

[@PowerDiva]

@d.jparer5184 The director based this film off stories told to him by his grandfather. While I'm sure some events were embellished for effect, the basis of them were rooted in reality. Recounted by someone who was there. It seems like you just have an opinion you want to give and you're willing to share it regardless of reality or knowing the history behind this film.

[@d.jparer5184]

@@PowerDiva if you believe this film is based on any real stories then I've got a bridge to sell you. You clearly don't know anything about WW1 as otherwise you would have instantly recognised this as true. I suggest you look into it and do your research. After all, knowing more is never a bad thing apart from when it comes to enjoying pieces of trash like this film.

Man whoever designed and built the set for No Man's Land... kudos... f'ing traumatizing to see that.. can't imagine living through it for real.. don't know if it showed up on the small screen or not but there are pieces of bodies sticking out all over the landscape, hands, feet, uniforms, faces... some easier to spot than others but they're all over the place.

[@falcon215]

This was amazing to see on the big screen. The local armory put on a demonstration drill in full WWI period uniform in the aisles of the theater plus a display in the lobby of equipment and items from that era when I saw it. Great experience.

[@jonathanwhistler9081]

You should watch the WW1 documentary " They Shall Not Grow Old" real voices of WW1 veteran with original film made HIDEF. Most mind blowing thing I have ever seen.

Schofield was in “The Somme” witch was one of the worst battles of WW1, 57,000 casualties with over 19,000 fatalities. The first day of this battle was the worst day, for the British in all of WW1

Hey Leo, didn't you recognize Blake who played Tommen Baratheon in GOT and his brother at the end of this movie who played Robb Stark? I watched this movie in the Theatre and it's different from other WW I movies, less battle , more drama and epic shots.

[@aricaj.3006]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and the running scene at the end never fails to make me emotional. In case you don't already know, J.R.R. Tolkien, who wrote the LOTR books, and C.S. Lewis, who wrote Narnia (which you should definitely watch if people haven't already suggested it), were both involved in WWI and lost friends in the war. Their experience heavily influenced their writing, and you can see echoes of it in both series

Such a great movie

[@Ashmo613]

One of the reason for the crazy casualties during WWI was due armies for the first time had modern tech such as tanks, machine guns, war planes, chemical weapons, etc., while still using the military tactics of previous generations--basically sending large forces of people toward each other. They were just being torn up right and left.

[@hb4080]

It's so heartbreaking to me. So many soldiers on both sides were just kids and being slaughtered by these weapons. Like maybe 17/18 years old? All that for a pointless war...

I've heard 2 different things, I'm not sure which is true. Either the whole movie was shot all in one shot, or the editor did so good at cutting the movie that it looks like one shot. When it first came out I feel like I heard the whole thing was one continuous shot but idk. Seems really hard to do for a whole movie. I'm sure it was just so well edited that it seems seamless. If it is all one shot then that is extremely impressive. It's impressive either way but still lol. Great movie though! If someone knows though then they should let me know, cause I am curious.

There are rules of how we engage in combat. When we come across an injured or capture an enemy combatant, we are supposed to treat them humanely under our watch or we can get charged with war crimes.

[@hb4080]

Please correct me, if I'm wrong, but I believe these rules didn't exist during WWI. Wasn't it in 1949, 4 years after WWII, the Geneva Conventions established these rules of war? So, legally in 1917, it wouldn't have been a war crime, because it simply didn't exist as a legal standard. He wanted to help him, because, even though it bit him in the butt, he was a good person (and a bit naive).

​@hb4080 Hi hb40. You aren't wrong about the establishment of the Geneva Convention and I don't recall myself talking about that.

The other WWI film you absolutely need to check out is "All Quiet on The Western Front" (the 2022 movie version). Also, please be sure and watch it in the original German language with English subtitles for authenticity. Watching it with dubbed English audio sucks big time and really defeats the whole point of watching the movie. I mean, they are German soldiers, so It would be strange to watch it in English. The movie is based on the novel written by a German WWI veteran....It is regarded by many as the greatest war novel ever written! The movie received 9 Oscar nominations.

At the start of the war pilots were considered heros even if they were the enemy, flying was still new. Enemy pilots were often helped early on when they crashed. As the war went on and the novelty of flight wore off they were captured or killed like everyone else. I like to think he was naive and liked pilots and flying and that's why he saved the pilot, but he was probably being just a good person. Also the Red Baron was buried with full military honors by the French when he was shot down.
