"Now, Lance Corporal"

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2020)

After Schofield went through hell and lost a friend, that had to be crushing to hear. At least the other Blake appreciated the lengths Schofield went through to get to him.
Also, the scene where Schofield woke up during the night and the lights/flares were going off has to be one of Roger Deakins' coolest use of light. He deserves another Oscar just for that sequence alone. That entire sequence in the burning town was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had watching a film. The colour palette being drenched in nothing, but black and orange, the use of shading that really made any hint of light pop out, the music, the camera tracking Schofield running through the town... All of it was gorgeous and harrowing eye candy, but that slow creep through the window is a moment that will stick in my mind forever.
