An absolute masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2020)

This film is so amazing in all aspects.
First of all George MacKay is outstanding in this movie. I don't know why didn't he get at least a nomination. Production design is great. The way Sam Mendes managed to create the atmosphere of the Great War is truly Oscar winning. Directing is also marvellous. While I was watching the movie, i was saying to myself: "wow this guy just earned an Oscar". It's amazing how they made the movie look like it's a one shot take. This portrays the duty of soldiers in this cases, meaning that they can't lose a second or their purpose will be affected. As the movie slogan states: "Time is the enemy".
For this I outline the amazing director's work and Oscar winning cinematographer Roger Deakins. The script is very good, solid and entertaining. You really get to connect with the characters and fell their emotions, starting from the nap at the beginning to the resting in the tree at the end. It's also emotionally strong since the script takes the WWI atmosphere very crudely showing the horrors of war.
Finally sound. Wow. I jumped scared in one of the scenes because of the sound of an explosion I think this is one of the strong points that this movie has. It really immerses you in the environment. When planes pass by the sound of the engine leaves you deaf (not really but).
So, if you have the time and money to waste in this movie just do it, you will have a good time and I hope this wins Best Picture at the Oscars.
