A Stunning Masterpiece ! (but I wish it was a bit more fast paced)

"A Visual Spectacle" - well, these movies are just class apart !
Though the best actor Oscar would be Joaquin's this year, but I'm almost certain that 1917 would easily grab the best picture academy award among several others that it truly deserves ! Yes, it's just unbelievably good !!
It's literally a war poetry wherein Sam Mendes shows us almost every aspect of a war scenario,threading it alongside the terrifyingly eventful journey of the protagonists accompanied by exceptional camera work,nail-biting background score & a cinematic environment that'll just demand your attention,while you're simply glued to the screen,in anticipation of what next is to follow, in this roller-coaster of a ride !
The execution is mind-blowing,with beautifully directed long takes, I couldn't even figure out a single point where the editing was evident.Flawless to say the least.
You'll feel as if you're a part of the entire movie,it's way too immersive & atmospheric.
That having said, I did find it a bit slow in a few parts but the decreased pace helps you get involved with the ongoing acts even more, thus enhancing your overall experience !
But yes, this movie deserves to be watched at a cinema hall. It's specifically made for that. And with probably just a week's time left for it at the cinemas,I would request you to give it a watch if you have the time, you won't regret it even one bit.
A group of 5-10 people in the hall, also clapped once the closing credits started rolling. The movie really does get to you.
Try to give this terrific,super-engaging movie a watch if you have the time !
It is, by all means, a sensational movie with some of the most iconic scenes to be ever present in a war-based movie !
