A glimpse of the nation's Doomed Youth.

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2020)

What an incredible film. The protagonists are rarely out if shot, accentuating their roles in the film. The cinematography is jaw dropping and aids your transportation into life in the trenches in WWI. The mission they're given is nigh impossible and their determination and bravery is to be applauded.
What I enjoyed most about this film is that the focus is not on the special effects of the shrill demented choirs of gunfire and shelling that must have been horrific to experience, but on the emotions felt by those featured.
If Saving Private Ryan is the WWII to see, then 1917 is its WWI counterpart.
