Well shot film with it's focus of message, courage, will, and determination thru grave means.

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2020)

Saw many war pictures and each have a different take, and story with each director filming a different way. This War War 1take "1917" from director Sam Mendes is a single camera gazed straight shot that has a focus of travel and journey that being the destination of two British soldiers. The background shows war is hell as along the path you see dead rats and human remains like skeletons caked in the mud all sacrificed from blood and glory. Both soldiers have been dispatched to deliver an urgent message to some other 1600 soldiers that being a trap by the Germans. So maybe the British might rethink about a war attack otherwise.
Thru the journey you see the village of war is a no man's land from booby traps to riverbanks alone. Still the two have hope even though fear and doubt is forever present. The film is moving it really holds as the images stick in your mind along with this journey as the images and travels speak a message of emotions as it's clear this work has it's images to speak louder than words.
