I didn't want to even like this movie, but instead I love it

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2020)

What superlatives can be used on a movie like this? One that touches the senses in ways that you never saw coming, that grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go, haunting your thoughts at random moments for years after. This is "1917". A brilliantly told story, cinematography that makes you realize what a movie should be, a heart stopping score, phenomenal acting, special effects that are top notch, and, most of all, a story that punches you right in the gut, and makes you so grateful for all of the soldiers who have ever fought for us, and given all so many times. It is a movie that I am going to watch on Veteran's Day, and more importantly, think of when I see a vet selling poppies, or needing help with something. Yes, this movie touches you that much. It should, hands down, get best picture, and several other Oscars too!
