What Deakins was able to pull off here is really impressive, especially Écoust at night being lit by fire and flares. That was stunning. These oners must’ve been very demanding on MacKay and Chapman and yet they gave really natural performances.
The rest of the film felt fairly surface level. This was sold as an experience film and how diegetic sound is used impacts my investment in an “experience” like this one. The music compositions work on their own, but I think they relied on the score too often. At times it deflated the tension and took me out of the experience. These are minor complaints as I was entranced by the technical craft of it, but without much character or plot to latch onto it can become tiring.
Worth a visit to the theater or just watch it on your phone.
Got milk?
A fairly simple ‘boots on the ground’ WW1 story elevated by exceptional blocking, (Deakins) camerawork, set design and overall polish. Sags a little in the last third and the music can be too schmaltzy at times (a problem I’ve had with Thomas Newman in the past). Overall I’d say it’s worth a watch, it’s a grounded perspective that helps give a feel for how ruthless and terrifying the conflict was.
benedict cumberbatch saying “hope is a dangerous thing” really threw me for a loop like damn ma, you listening to lana del rey before heading into battle??
Sunday I saw 1917. It was a visually, technically incredible movie. Story was a little thin, but it was beautiful to watch. I don’t expect it to be good on the rewatch.
A simple story told exceptionally well. Outstanding costume design, set design, cinematography, and score.
The night window scene is maybe my favorite scene in any movie ever.
A film that left me with a real sense of "so what?"
"We made a film that has the appearance of one long take." Why? What does shooting it this way add to anything? It actively hinders the dramatic potential for a lot of the scenes and requires long periods of just waiting for things to happen while characters cover the distance.
Never mind the fact the film not only is full of obvious join points where one take was stitched to the next, but it's not even one take within the internal logic of the film where it cuts and jumps ahead around 6 or 7 hours. I just don't believe this movie is any better for being made…
First time seeing this movie and yes I know, it took me forever to see it. For me this is the best work of Sam Mendes above Skyfall and American Beauty. Cinematography on point and in conclusion Roger Deakins is KING.
1917 و Saving Private Ryan بالنسبة ليا احسن افلام الحرب لي شفت او السبب بكل بساطة هو انه كتعيش اجواء الحرب او لي عجبني فهاد الافلام هي الطريقة ديال التصوير و كذالك التركيز على بزاف ديال التفاصيل
Beautiful cinematography, soundtrack, just overall love the atmosphere and intimate POV of a soldier running through the fields of WWI
