A tale of heroism

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2020)

Movies like "1917" , in all honesty, don't need special treatments and reviews as they speak for themselves, especially, if not recounted by real experiences of combat veterans, making their reviews even more intense and filled with truthful realism.
This is a movie, simply told, having a simple but touching story showing the basic horrors of WWI, complete with amazing cinematography, up to the point accompanying music and very good acting from the cast.
It is not paced with action packed scenes in its true active form, but keeping showing the visceral emotions that the protagonists and soldiers were experiencing in that period, specifically on 6 April 1917 as they see themselves present and awake in their surrounding minute by minute.
It is an homage among countless others to those brave soldiers who have experienced those harrowing times and to the miseries of war in general.
As such, it deserves praise & recognition and its story doesn't disappoint a bit and beautifully told.
