Review of 1917 (2019) by Jeannefrancoise — 28 Jan 2020

This movie has one single shot camera to portrait the journey of an English soldier, who had duty to give important message to other regiment. I think this is Sam Mendes expertise to give all stories united in just one single shot, so the audience can feel themselves to be like that main role, to see the war, to face the combat, or to fall down, shooting, etc.

This idea of camera can be trend for movie industry, especially in war movies in the next 10 years. This movie is helped by the appearance of several actors who are serving in war movies, such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, and Ralph Fiennes.

This movie was so deserved to have high appreciation like Oscar or Golden Globe, although there are many critics and doubters upon it, this movie is still the masterpiece in its genre.
