  • @patrioticjustice9040
    @patrioticjustice9040 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Thanks for watching this; it's one of my favorite movies ever made (especially seeing how Hollywood's been on the decline in good cinema) The First World War tends to get overshadowed by the Second World War, but most people never take the time to realize just how horrible the first one was. This was a war where people honestly didn't know how to fight it because they were used to the ancient battle tactic of "the larger army wins" while weapons were being made that made larger armies obsolete; artillery siege guns, machine gun turrets, tanks, planes, flame throwers, poison gas. These were being unleashed for the first time, and we had no idea how to fight against that. And what's worse is children fought in this. British Private Sydney Lewis joined the war at age 12, and fought at the Somme (one of the biggest battles in the war) at 13. Momcilo Gavric, a Serbian soldier, fought the war at the age of 8.
    Look up the Attack of the Dead Men. Despite the title, it's not a movie, it's a historic event. The Germans gassed the hell out of the Russians protecting Osowiec. Thinking it was safe to take the place, they sent 7,000 men in. But 100 Russians got back up, as if reviving from the dead. They had no defense against the gas, so they were coughing up blood and bits of lung. Worse, the moisture from their lungs mixing with the chemical components of the gas formed an almost acidic complex on them, causing flesh to fall off. They were dying horrific and agonizing deaths, but they were still forcing themselves up to engage the enemy. The sight of 100 "dead men" stumbling and shuffling, some even crawling toward them scared the Germans so badly that they ran without firing a shot, despite having the numerical advantage.

It's a drama-crime-thriller-romance film. Won the equivalent of many German Academy Awards. It lasts from around 4:30 am in darkness to around 7 am in morning light.

    The premise that in 1917 the only way of getting a life saving message to another unit is to send two blokes running around a battlefield is daft, they had telephones, wireless, aircraft to drop messages, motorcycle couriers etc, I find it very difficult to watch films and TV that base themselves in real events but then follow through with plot contrivances that twist reality beyond belief.

    His running into those guys at the end actually wasn't intentional (notice how the camera keeps pulling back at the same speed and almost loses him, plus the first guy he hits thinks he's ruined the shot and just keeps lying there), but was kept in because it helped the whole thing feel that little bit more real.

      Yeah, those accidents really did help sell the scene. The chance of him making it through ALL those troops and not hitting a single one is less than 1%.
      After he runs into twice, he still gets back up and keeps running. It sells the complete desperation of his character to keep moving forward, no matter what.

    The most affecting moment to me in this film is Richard Madden's acting when George Mackay's character asks if he can write home to the mother. The sudden realisation in his face that their mother will be absolutely devastated. Subtly wonderful piece of acting. And to think that so many mothers and fathers in real life were left bereaved by this horrendous, pointless conflict. Fantastic film.

Roger Deakins is a master at building beautiful shots.
