A masterpiece. This goes into my top 15

One of the best War movies of all time! Both this, and Saving Private Ryan are just fantastic War movies that I never get tired of. I am amazed on the cinematography in this movie. Every camera shot is just magnificent!

1917 It is a war drama about two friends who have to go on a risky mission to deliver a message before the war begins....This film is brilliant in every sense, script, direction and acting.

la parte mas importante esta a la mitad de la pelicula, lo cual alarga la parte emocionante durante 45 min, gracias a esto es lo cual por lo que esta pelicula es tan emocionante

A hauntingly beautiful gift of a movie.

Sam Mendes’s film 1917 was meticulously crafted to immerse you in an emotional and visceral experience. The film focuses on 2 soldiers in World War 1 sent to deliver a message to a different platoon. The platoon they are being sent to are about to walk into a trap set by the German army. They must make it to the platoon before the morning, or else 1600 soldiers will be massacred by the Germans. The men fight to survive and experience loss, heartbreak, fear, and anger. By the end of the film, the viewer is given a sense of unfairness as the reality of war is presented in it. The director's choice to make the movie one continuous shot made you feel what was at stake, their lives. The film made you feel like it was never ending in the sense that the soldiers were constantly under attack. The choice of effects and setting create an incredible amount of stomach-turning suspense as the men continue their journey. The choice of the camera being a continuous shot immerses you into the story line making it feel like you are with the soldiers on their mission. This creates a feeling of having more at risk as the men push through explosions, gun fire, attacks, and more. I feel there are more strengths than weaknesses in this film. The strengths of this film are that the filming does truly immerse you. The emotion of the characters can be felt through the viewer for a guttural experience. Another strength I believe the film has is using younger, lesser-known main actors. I feel this is a strength as the audience builds their own connection with the characters. With how young they are, a tone of innocence adds to the characters. A notable weakness of this film is that it feels like a game. The characters seem like they just need to reach checkpoints to survive. However, this weakness could also be seen as a strength as the stakes are higher considering that war is not really a game and there is no reset button. The film itself can fit into multiple different genres such as war, drama, thriller, action, and history. I think this film fits best into at least 2 genres, war, and action. The movie is very clearly about war and offers a high stakes plot with multiple fight and chase scenes. The soldiers are placed suddenly into the mission of delivering the message to a doomed battalion. There is no time to think or consider until they are sent out through “no man’s land.” This makes the film act immediately and begins with a sense of anxiety as there is no choice. There is gunfire, explosions, death, and many more unsettling events that make the viewer invested. The marketing of this film I believe was presented very well. There was a total of 3 posters and 3 trailers created. The first poster presented the four large transparent numbers, “1917” with a sunset and barbed wire at the bottom. The second poster included the same large transparent numbers with the 2 main characters running away frantically. The main tagline of the movie was posted in the bottom stating, “Time is the Enemy.” The final poster pictured the 2 soldiers crawling on the ground with an empty plane hurdling right for them. The trailers created for this movie I feel did a wonderful job at promoting without giving too much away. All the trailers tell the same storyline; 2 soldiers are picked to carry a message to a different platoon before morning or else they will be massacred. However, as the trailers were created a few extra intense scenes are included to hold the viewers' attention. In the final trailer created, the directors include callouts for the multiple awards the film was nominated for. There were many awards the film was nominated for including Academy Awards, Golden Globes Awards, BAFTA awards, and more. During the 2020 Academy Awards the film won Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing, Best Visual Effects, and was nominated for many other awards such as Best Picture, Best Music, Best Sound Editing, Best Director, and more. During the 2020 Golden Globes awards, the film won Best Picture, and Best Director, and was nominated for Best Original Score. During the 2020 BAFTA awards the film exceeded winning a total of 7 awards out of the 9 the film was nominated for. In my opinion this comes as no surprise as the film was a truly immersive experience that not only educated the viewer about the true nature of war but also had a way of putting the viewer in their shoes. In conclusion, I would rate this movie a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I believe the cinematography of the film, along with its storyline creates a suspenseful and emotional experience that plunges the viewer into the high-stakes, intense encounter of war. The young actors provide the sense of innocence lost at the cost of war as they are exposed to the harsh reality of life-or-death. In my opinion there are very few weaknesses that this film has and countless strengths that make this film a marvelous feat.

Filled with intense action, deep emotion, and a compelling plot, this film is perfect for someone looking for a historic masterpiece
