I watched this film once, not sure what to expect. About halfway through I moved from tv to headphones and sat on the floor to get closer to the story. Immediately afterward I started watching another war movie released the same year. I stopped after 30 minutes, Second time round, immediately afterwardsI watched 1917 again, 30 minutes in you notice the blue grey walls of the trenches and the details, the burns on the sandbags, You're devastated by the blow out in the trench and notice his red eyes and pale skin. You walk with them through the burnt trees and listen to the story. Eventually you panic in the city with the flares. Crawl out of the river and head to the forest. It is stunning and moved me. This is the first film I've watched again directly after seeing it. I'm not in love with the characters but I reckon that's like life, the characters are flawed but the world the story takes place in is stunning,
The barn scene was horrible and real.
Everything is covered in mud. Everything should be covered in mud. It is beautiful and reminds you
