Star Cast: George Mackay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Richard Madden, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch
Director: Sam Mendes
Rating: 5/5 Stars
Best Part: The idea of a War Drama, like Saving Private Ryan, until then was imaginary, not only does it show you what's in front of the camera, but it also transports you behind it sometimes to realize what is needed.
Worst Part: The more I think about the identification of defects, the more I am convinced that it is a perfect film and, therefore, the evaluation.
Analysis:
The stories that can be explained in a row and that however intrigue you see them are always considered the best. The plot of a 1917 line is: "Two people must be from point A to point B in a certain period of time, otherwise 1600 of their men will be massacred." We have British soldiers, Corporal Lance Corporal Will Schofield (George MacKay) and Corporal Lance Tom Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) following orders given by General Erinmore (Colin Firth).
Orders say the Germans were waiting for the British army to start the attack so they could be overwhelmed by the counter. Blake has a brother in The 2nd of Devons and he and Scho must contact them before they start attacking. They must do this by escaping the German fire points that may or may not surround the route. It is not just about the obstacles they face along the way, but also about the unpredictability of reviving or not.
Script Analysis:
First, let's congratulate Roger Deakins on his second consecutive Oscar win after Blade Runner 2049 last year. Yes, I'm so sure that Deakins won the Oscar for the best photography because this year he has an advantage over all the brilliant films. The idea of making it look like a shitty movie was a master's success and it works like butter. I was on a stage without batting an eyelid for a long time only to find those hidden cuts. There are scenes where I swallowed popcorn so as not to make noise and lose intricate detail.
The story of Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns has nothing more. It contains many heartbreaking moments and aims to do it to the end. The creators slip into Christopher Nolan's favorite editor, Lee Smith, with the vision he manages to achieve. Sam and Deakins do their job filming the film using the "blocking and staging" technique, but it was Lee who had to join those scenes to look like a single fluid shot.
Star Performance Analysis:
Both George MacKay as Scho and Dean-Charles Chapman as Tom have managed to contribute with a very human side to his character as army men. Both have the innocence that works for them and use it to make you interact more with them. George MacKay has to dodge more and manages to control himself by walking alone in the line of perfect performance. Chapman's character makes you think a lot about children who are not even men, they are ready to do something for their country.
Benedict Cumberbatch's Colonel Mackenzie concludes his thoughts with "Hope is a dangerous thing", which summarizes the whole discussion in one line. Benedetto is in his best habitual moment in this little cameo. Richard Madden will blow your heart out with his special appearance. It shares only one scene, but it is written and interpreted so brilliantly that it will leave you with a lump in your throat.
Direction and Music Analysis:
Sam Mendes never shouts for his attention, he earns it over time. At first, he understands you simply with the "single-shot technique", but he also makes sure that it doesn't look like a trick. Most of the film is shot in narrow streets and once you stand behind the camera with Sam, you will understand that what he has done here is nothing short of extraordinary.
Of Sam Mendes' eight films to date, he has collaborated with Thomas Newman seven times. Besides Green Mile, there are hardly any films in this filmography to justify the magnitude that it has achieved in this area. He has some memorable soundtracks for this name, but with 1917, he manages the John Williams area and nails him for that matter. Using awkward silence, Newman is a new man with 1917.
Final Analysis and Stars:
Having said that, 1917 is the best movie experience I've ever had and I haven't even seen the IMAX preview. This is the best film making and an example of how putting efforts in the right place will give you the desired results. It's beyond qualification!
5 STARS!
