One of the best war films ever made

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2020)

This movie had me go through a roller-coaster of emotions like nothing else. There were scenes where I was tearing up, there were moments where I was so mesmerized by the sequences, esp. the one where Schofield wakes up and walks into the night illuminated by flares, that I forgot about what was to happen next. The use of scenery and elements of nature such as the fence which ends up hurting Will, the sequence in the stream are all used quite well so much so that they become a part of the narrative. The scene where Schofield walks into the night among the ruins, is definitely one of the best I've ever seen.
In today's age and time where movies and shows are brought exclusively to your computers and TV, this remains one of those movies which need to be experienced in the cinema hall. Kudos to Sam Mendes, Roger Deakins and Thomas Newman for this show. One of my top war films along the likes of 'Come and See' and 'The Grand Illusion'.
