Film of the Year 2020

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2020)

1917 is a perfect example of how a simple story can be turned into a masterpiece using film making ingenuity.It has literally turned the direction and screenplay business on its head by changing the rules of the game.
Earlier the audience used to interpret a movie by watching a series of frames.With 1917 we see this definition evolve into a series of lengthy shots.To accomplish such a task in a predefined space would have been a quotidian thing but here we see the imagination painted on a canvas of World War 1 which is an outrageous attempt in itself and the result is simply astounding.
No doubt it will be one of the front runners at the Oscars which works big time not only because of awe inspiring cinematography but also because of the screenplay.The soul of the film is infectious and makes it one of the best World War drama movies to come out of Hollywood till date.
Seldom we see cinema transforming right in front of our eyes and movies that challenge hard to bring such a change definitely deserve all the respect in the world.
1917 JUST EARNED IT!
