Where in the world is Colonel Mackenzie! Spoilers!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2020)

20 minutes in the movie theatre, I wanted to leave. Anxious, claustrophobic, I felt trapped! I could not get it out! I knew they would make it. I had seen the trailer but it was nothing compared to what I was feeling. I was going to embark in a journey with two (unknown) actors, into the unknown!
1917 is a masterpiece! A breathtaking, riveting, beautiful film about a simple mission yet complicated during World War I.
I closed my eyes couples of times and yet I knew it was something to be seen. Sam Mendes' one shot directing is so immersive, I wanted to take the boys and bring them to 2020!
Everywhere the camera didn't look, there could have been a German soldier. What are you doing here? is what I asked myself over and over again which is why the end is so fitting and sweet and the resolution I needed. This was more important than the mission. Get out of this war! I know the end! Im from 2020 and I wanted to tell them, it's not worth it!
Then again in 2020 we almost had War World III !
I wanted to escape, the journey was long!
Then, the blazing fire kept me mesmerized with the beautiful score of Thomas Newman! I could not believe my eyes! How can something so destructive be so beautiful! Isn't ironic?
Then the climax, I kept screaming inside WHERE THE F%&#@ is Colonel Mackenzie! I couldn't wait any longer! 1917 exceeded all my expectations.
From the story of his grandfather to the end of the credits, Sam Mendes gave us the best movie of the year! Thank you Alfred Hubert Mendes!
