⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½Nominated for 10 Oscars and tied with two other films, only Joker having more (11), this is truly a must-watch film. It involves viewers on a visceral level.

Trench Warfare Games

You will feel about as close as you can to what it might have been like inside those WWI trenches.Just how realistic are the trenches?“Most people understand that World War I is about trench warfare, but they don’t know that there was more than one trench,” says Cart. “There was the front-line trench, where front-line troops would attack from or defend from; then behind that, kind of a holding line where they brought supplies up, troops waiting to go to to the front-line trench.” The “bathroom” was in the latrine trench.Am still reeling from the cinematic beauty of this film.Beyond this point we’re in severe SPOILER territory, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, just bookmark and come back. You have been warned SPOILERS ahead Not Enough Characterization or is there?In most circumstances I would criticize a film that seems to have so little characterization (see my ⭐️ review), but I think we get it here through the imagination of the viewer and how certain scenes are displayed. This is a film that relies on showing vs. Something that is often forgotten in films. We don’t need a bunch of characters telling us through exposition, when characterization can be shown through action.For example, one of the character encounters a woman with a baby.

He immediately shows his generosity by trying to give up most of his food, despite the fact his very survival is in doubt. In several scenes we see blood-stained photographs as a motivation for soldiering on. There is also the revealing scene with the brother at the ending.A War Film without much War?This is a big part of what I enjoyed about this film compared to many others.

There weren’t a bunch of bloody war scenes. Instead, it’s like we’re wondering through a “hot” battlefield, one where a new battle could break out any second. It’s like passing through a cemetery after the bodies had just been buried or, rather, some have not been buried yet.Reviews by OthersBelow I’ve collected dozens of pull quotes and links to other movie reviewers. I’ve been reading a ton of reviews for this film, most of which are extremely positive, but some are neutral and a few dislike it from the 1,100+ movie blogs that I’m currently following.As you’ll see shortly when reading the quotes, many are mentioning the technical aspects of 1917, some mention how it is important to see it on the big screen and other observations that are interesting. One of my favorite things to do with films I strongly like or dislike is to read what other moviegoers think. I thought the acting was very good for what was required in the role. It was more about the physical acting, expressions, mannerisms.

Viewers could feel the fear and dedication in these boys. This isn’t the dialogue-heavy Marriage Story that ScarJo and Adam Driver delivered. Both styles are appreciated and show off acting talent. The “it’s like a videogame” is a fourth complaint. If this was all the movie was about, I’d understand the criticism, but there was a deeper story and this was a camera technique used to tell the story a certain way. Some enterprising game studio is probably already on the case.Liked.
