1917 Movie Review - Mission in The Middle of The Fire

Welcome, my friends, at the Hive community. Today we have a movie that is not new in terms of story or idea, but with a director like Roger Deakins, the movie turned into a masterpiece, the tongue cannot describe its beauty.
Yes, as soon as there is a name Deakins in action, I know I am making a date with fun, but contrary to expectations that the movie will be amazing, we surprised Deakins that he made it an unprecedented cinematic experience.

Where we will go into this movie epic World War I and scenes and wonderful cinematic tricks.

The story

To start with, the story of the film is very simple but cinematic tricks and graphic techniques turned 1917 into a true masterpiece.

The film tells the story of World War I, which we all know, but with some tricks and feelings, this film had another impression as it takes place in the third year of the World War at a time when thousands of soldiers were killed, but whoever was not killed was suffering more, thousands of soldiers resorted to trenches to protect From flying and artillery.
The film begins with the heroes Schofield and Blake, as the commander assigned them an almost impossible mission at this difficult time in the war. In the midst of the arduous war events, these two heroes had a role that the leader had ordered them to attack the German soldiers who had withdrawn or who were believed to be withdrawn, but which The commander ignored him and everyone ignored that this withdrawal was a strategic withdrawal from the German soldiers!
It appears that a trap awaits British soldiers, which could lead to the death of thousands of them.

Schofield and Blake begin traveling through some rural areas of France in order to convey the leader's message and here they face physical and psychological troubles. Despite the harsh conditions that surround them, they had to pay attention to any attack from the enemies.

An impression of the movie

Although the film does not constitute a new or creative story, it tells a new part of the war and depicts it for us from a perspective that makes you coexist with the war in all your neighborhoods and live the difficult moments, psychological tension and nervous pressure, after five minutes of the film where you will live with these two soldiers the arduous journey and the tension will continue With you until the end of the movie, as if you were with them on the same journey, and this is what the director excelled in.
He did not leave you following events from a distant perspective, but rather made you live a reality that has passed for more than a hundred years.

The film also depicts the sincere feelings of Schofield and Blake that will sometimes make you feel calm and reassured, and how these friends try to cross the crisis together, but they will soon be abandoned when events increase and the risks increase.

There are many side events in the movie which means that we will see a lot of personal events as well as characters in transit who will be present with us at some point in the movie.

Cinematography

Cinematography, which was at the height of creativity, will make us witness to the cruel life that mankind lived in that period in the midst of frequent air strikes, artillery fire and body parts scattered everywhere.

Although there are some minor errors during filming, they are almost invisible in light of the magnificence of the exceptional scenes.

What makes us lift the hat is that photography had a prominent role in the success of the film, despite the simple story of the movie, but the movement of the camera and flashing maneuvers made us hold breaths, as photography depicted us with wonderful colors and an ideal atmosphere for that era.

George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, with their impressive performance, brought the 1917 movie to another world.

Notes before watching the movie

If you want to make your children watch the movie, you must know that the movie is subject to a 15-year-old assessment. With some good values ​​and quiet footage that you will see soldiers drinking alcohol and saying bad words, so too, the battles, people, explosions, wounded soldiers, etc. will make it difficult for Kids watch them,

And finally

No one likes war, it is hell, but nevertheless, strong friendship remains the strong factor that can withstand the most difficult circumstances.
Also, courage cannot be bought but rather is instinct and exception.
