One of the most engaging movies I have ever watched.

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2020)

1917 was a masterpiece, it showed you the true terror and feelings of being there in that war, and the losses of your loved ones. When Tom died, the protagonist had to keep going no matter what, and although I was heart broken, sobbing in the theater, I as well had no time and had to keep going. Every second that I watched, I was tipping out my seat, terrified of what was going to happen to your protagonist. Although you don't learn much about the protagonist or their life, you still wonderfully get drawn to that character and attached. Some people may view the women and the baby scene as unnecessary, but it really did have a purpose. When our protag is asked if he himself has children by the women, he has no response. We later find out at the very end he does have a family, but the reason we find out why he didn't explain was to think about his family is too much to bare. The amount of things he goes through is truly tragic, and when he finally sits at that tree at the end, your heart spills out. It hurts to have all those feelings at the end come out, and the story did have such a deep meaning to me. Thank you for being one of the best movies I have ever watched. Also mind me, the one shot idea was amazing. I do wonder if the protag did end up dying after the movie though. It wasn't like the war ended that very second. I do speculate that he didn't though. My reasons are because 1917 was based on the creator's father, and his hardships in war.
