Review of 1917 (2019) by Eliasc — 27 Jan 2020
One of the few war films that captures the experience of being trapped in combat. Mendes captures the confusion and uncertainly of real combat. No Rambo's here. The use of a simulated continuous one shot take contributes enormously to the sense that there is no escape and choice other that to continuously move forward.
Vets will know what I mean by this. Watch the end credits to see to whom the film is dedicated.
