1917 has shown audiences what really made those men go over the top! It is all centred as one shot, and the director with such an inquiring mind really has made a cinematic masterpiece! 1917 will be remembered as one of the most, in the top three, best war movies ever made, with the protagonist Schofield losing his friend and ally, to reaching to his brother, in a certain amount of time under complete heavy fire.
Surprisingly, Richard Madden is the brother, and its worth a wait for him to show up. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch nails his leadership skills with a two-minute one shot scene. These ambitious and incredible actors are able to pull off such talent with the little time they have left on screen. But with George MacKay running to send a message, IS the soldier in this one cinematic adventure adventure! There's hardly any fighting, which allows you to concentrate on MacKay (Schofield's) plan... and his plan works!
The film is indescribably well-created, the beginning at a tree-to the ending to a tree. It's pure Oscar buzz, and the pressure engages the audience from the first tree to the last.
Every trench, field, and house scene is pure cinema gold. It's absolute gold! With Schofield escaping every minute and time running out, you're money would've been worth spending.
1917 is a masterpiece; Oscar material, a future classic, and the 2000s Saving Private Ryan.
10/10
