    1917 is the most accurate representation that exists, from the soldiers' point of view.

    Hollywood gave us some incredible WWII films over the years. One could argue that "Saving Private Ryan" set the bar, and the tradition was continued with HBO's "Band of Brothers" and more recently Apple TV+'s "Masters of the Air." Yet we didn't have a lot of WWI films that reached that level of cinematic mastery -- until 2019, when "1917" exploded on the screen. I honestly couldn't tell where the long tracking shot ended and the CGI began, and that's high praise. Instead, I got wrapped up in the character's quest, against a terrifying backdrop of burned out cities and devastated countryside. My only quibble is that this might the be the most egregious example of "the bad guys always miss" syndrome since the original Star Wars, but I'm willing to let that go. "All Quiet on the Western Front" flipped the 1917 narrative and showed us the horrors of war from the German POV, and if anything it's even more powerful. Two absolutely great films that bring WWI to a modern audience. (#443 in my "watch all Best Picture Nominees" bucket list)

    In one continuous take, we see the horrors of the great war among the bullet casings of the battlefield! Two soldiers are tasked with reporting an upcoming invasion to their allies across the scorched setting, which forces the two soldiers to partake on a hazardous and dangerous journey. Uninterrupted by scene changes, we are forced to take in every last detail of the destruction surrounding them as they make a desperate attempt to make it before the invasion!

    Riveting. Edge of your seat stuff
  • Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
    A mildly diverting experience you'll forget about by tomorrow. It's lack of dramatic impact is due to the director's desire to demonstrate his technical cleverness while forgetting the importance of a compelling narrative. Lots of set pieces that don't connect.

    This movie was unbelievable! Absolute masterpiece! I said this must've won best picture? I looked it up and I was dumbfounded when I found out that parasite somehow won instead of this movie. Parasite was an OK movie but nothing on the level of 1917. But the Oscars have gotten wrong 1000 times so I'm not surprised. I remember Saving Private Ryan lost to Shakespeare in love and that was the day I knew the Oscars were a complete joke and not even real. So definitely check this movie out you will not be disappointed. A+ 10/10
