One Shot Take!

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2020)

A one shot take amazed me. I've never seen a movie that has done this before. That was the thing that intrigued me the most.
And I actually watched the behind the scenes of how they did it. Roger Deakins and Sam Mendes put in a tremendous amount of work to make every scene calculated. And I mean every scene. It was a step by step process to make sure the one shot take would be executed upon perfectly.
And beyond the curtain of the filmmaking, the storyline was great. Having it be a one shot take made it a personal connection between the viewer and the two soldiers. It was a sad, yet uplifting and inspiring movie of showing a partially true story from a story that Sam Mendes grandfather told him about WWI.
