Schofield and Lance Cpl. Blake -- receive seemingly impossible orders. In a race against time, they must cross over into enemy territory to deliver a message that could potentially save 1,600 of their fellow comrades -- including Blake's own brother. “We should put him out of his misery” The German has some 2nd degree burns on his legs and is otherwise fine, but to that English soldier his condition is life threatening and must be put to death.
1917: Speran?ă ?i moarte Watch free web. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020 Format: Prime Video Stunning technique and talent in perfect form. Written and directed by Sam Mendes, this riveting movie has immense meaning because it was actually inspired by Sam Mendes’ own grandfather’s experiences in WWI and based on his book Autobiography Of Alfred H. Mendes, 1897-1991 (The UWI Press Biography Series) and the movie was made in his memory. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some profanity and F-bombs. You see dead horses and bodies (all prosthetic, of course), complete with circling flies, rats, and black crows. You see a man’s life blood drain from his face. Spoken French with subtitles You see a man kill another man with his hands like in that devastating scene in Saving Private Ryan. That scene has haunted me for years. THINGS I LIKED: Fantastic cinematography by 14 times Academy Award nominee Roger Deakins. Surely the work he does in this movie will win him an Oscar. I loved the long sequences in the beginning of 1917 when they walked through the trenches. The entire film is shot and edited to make it look like one long, single shot that takes place in real time. Wow. Seriously, the camera work is next level. For example, the camera keeps running from the ground level, water level, and over the shoulder in incredibly realistic shots that make you feel like you’re standing right next to the characters in the middle of all the action. The cast is very good and includes excellent performances by George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Scott, and Richard Madden. Some salty humor provided by Andrew Scott’s character. It’s the only time the audience I sat with laughed. The music provides a feeling of non-stop tension yet doesn’t become monotonous. How they prepared the fields and landscapes to really look like war-torn Europe was truly amazing. I loved how Blake hurt his hand on barbed wire at the very beginning of his journey so that he had to continue babying it amidst his struggles. For a truly visceral experience, watch this movie on the biggest screen you can. I loved the way the movie began and ended. Perfect. It doesn’t feel like a Hollywood movie where everyone has endless ammunition. It feels real. You can read the rest of my movie review at or watch my review on the Movie Review Mom YouTube channel! Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020 Format: DVD As "1917" (2019 release; 119 min. ) opens, we are told it is "April 6, 1917", and Lance Corporals Schofield and Blake from the British army are summoned by the General: the two soldiers must deliver an urgent message to 2 battalions who are about to fall into a massive German trap. Blake's brother is among the 1600 soldiers in peril. Off they go, Schofield and Blake. At this point we are less than 10 min. into the movie but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out. Couple of comments: this is the latest movie from British director-writer-producer Sam Mendes, who brought us the 2 most recent James Bond films, and American Beauty way before that. Here he brings a WWI story to the big screen as it was relayed to him by his grandfather, who served in WWI. I don't want to spoil anything by revealing more of the plot. Instead let me make the following general observations: as the movie opens, we watch as Schofield and Blake walk to the General's camp, get his orders, and get underway, and after a couple of minutes, I realized that all if this was being shown in one continuous take. Then it became 5 min., then 10, then 15 min., and I thought to myself, how much longer can this be just one continuous take? (Sorry, I'm going to to tell you. ) The movie is just epic on so many levels. There are some stretches where there is little to no dialogue and it is then how critically important the movie's sound design is. You may recall that in 2018 there was a fabulous documentary called "They Shall Not Grow Old" (directed by Peter Jackson), in which WWI archive footage is restored gloriously. And in 2017 there was Christopher Nolan's epic WWII drama "Dunkirk". To me "1917" recalls both those films in the best possible way. Kudos also to Thomas Newman for the massive original score, which plays almost non-stop during the movie. "1917" went wide this weekend, and i couldn't wait to see it. The Friday evening screening where I saw this at here in Cincinnati in a mid-size theater was pretty much sold out, I am very happy to say. Winning Best Picture and Best Director at last weekend's Golden Globes will only reinforce the strong word-of-mouth this movie surely will generate. I am going on record that this movie will get multiple Oscar nominations (and then win them). If you like an epic war movie, you are in for a treat, and I would readily suggest you check this out, be it in the theater, on Amazon Instant Video, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray, and draw your own conclusion. *UPDATE 1/13/20* As predicted, "1917" won multiple Oscar nominations today, and I am going on record that it will win Best Movie and Best Director Oscars (as it did at the Golden Globes) Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020 Format: DVD 1971 was a fabulous year: Jiffy Peanut Butter was 59 cents a can, you could take home an Etch-A-Sketch for $2. 83, a Datsun 1200 Sports Coupe was yours for $1, 866, a gallon of gas was 40 cents, and the average rent was 150 bucks. But this crazy movie mentions none of it -- not even the opening of Disney World or those fab Velour pant suits, Carole King’s Tapestry or the coming of David Bowie. I don't get it.
