dunkirk was world war II, just had to get a correction out there.
True
yelled it out when I heard that lol
True
-10 points for USA education system
Lit couldn’t believe it when he said it lol
I just want to mention some things, after the sniper shoots him, he is definitely concussed, he is going through some severe emotional trauma still, he has lost a lot of blood, hasnt eaten, has nearly suffocated, was temporarily blinded, not to mention the possible infection of his hand, and he is exhausted, so I cut him A LOT of slack for any human errors he makes afterwards.
Actually I think the fact that he hasn't eaten is what helped him. If you still have food digesting while bleeding and injured, the food digesting probably would do more harm since its effort from you body doing that, when all his energy needs to go into making sure he lives.
Exactly. All he had was a piece of bread in the beginning of the movie
@@aomaito5549 is that why they give you a snack and something to drink after donating blood? No. It helps stabilize your blood sugar
35:00 Yes, him running into the soldiers was a mistake. Sam Mendes just kept rolling. The actor is George MacKay and I agree he's absolutely brilliant.
Ikr that leap he did over one fallen soldier was freakin majestic
You have to, they got one shot.
And the reason he didn’t get back up is because he knocked himself dizzy from that run in lol.
And then the extra pretended to be dead after he collided with Mackay hahaha.
@@Nekotaku_TV Actually, the movie wasn't shot in one take, contrary to popular belief. It was actually shot in multiple scenes, and later edited to look like one continuous shot. It's all editing! There are a few notable screen wipes (the waterfall jump being a prime example) where you can actually see the cut/transition if you look hard enough! Overall, I think its an amazing technical achievement, and overall just one hell of a war movie!
If Parasite hadn't come out the same year, 1917 would have won (deservedly so) the Best Picture award.
I don't know, this might be a little too niche movie. Did Dunkirk win anything? Parasite was huge cross audience success throughout the world. It's one of the few Oscars in recent years I 100% agreed with.
Yeh it was really close between the two movies. Apparently 1917 was the favourite for a while but Parasite gathered momentum late through word of mouth. Speaking of they should react to Parasite too
@@jays4402 I think parasite is overhyped tbh - it heavily relies on the last 15 minutes to carry the film. I like it the movie - it had good symbolism and the ending was top tier but I hate how people have to overhype it so your expectations are set far too high to be disappointed at the start of the movie. It still deserved best picture tho.
@@akindumarasinghe131 So many exceptional movies rely on the last 30 minutes in order to make a statement of intent though?
Psycho, Avengers, Star Wars, The Matrix, Fight Club, Se7en... It's how screenwriting works.
Build up to a climax and deliver on the climax.
Parasite is a thriller and the best kind, the ending adds extra layers of context to the plot.
Also, the editing, cinematography, acting and direction are already top notch *before* you consider how tight the writing is.
@@michaelandrews117 Arguable but yes. The comedy part of the genre black comedy is obvious in the first 3/4 of the film so that was what I was getting at - it was fine tho I still think it deserved best picture. I was also just stating that it was too overhyped.
I had the privilege of watching it in theaters back then. Truly a work of art.
Saw the premiere. Everyone was dead silent when leaving the theater and in the lobby after wards. Some were even crying. Pretty intense
me too! i see about 1 movie every 5 years, so i was lucky to pick this one.
Same, the movie in theaters was amazing. Whole theatre felt the weight of the film, dead silent. I cried.
This was the last movie I saw in theaters before COVID hit, and I’m so glad it was. I was deeply moved by it
1917 was the last movie I saw in theaters before COVID and the 1st movie I saw in theaters after COVID was Oppenheimer, I would still rank 1917 above Oppenheimer with most things, I love both but 1917 will always have a special place in my heart.
Can’t believe I went to watch the second jumanji movie in cinemas when this first released and couldn’t get in, so we settled to watch 1917 instead, turned out to be the best WW1 film I’ve watched in my life. I do not regret choosing it.
Have you seen 'They Shall Not Grow Old' ?
@@waterbeauty85 I've been meaning to too, is it very sad?
It’s coz it’s not an American film. America has a habit of turning its nose up at anything which isn’t American in the belief that only American is best, so this movie didn’t get much promotional air time there.
@@katara2021 It is sad because war is tragic, but it also shows people's ability to maintain humor in the midst of hardship, humanity in the midst of carnage, and it shows the resilience of the human spirit. More than sadness, I think you'll come away with a sense of respect.
@@darkmatter6714 I think it’s more because it’s real footage by the Brits. It’s haunting to me because my grandfather served in WWI.
It was shot to LOOK like one continuous shot, but there is at minimum 34 hidden/cleverly disguised cuts throughout the movie.
I think they think someone ran out in makeup and made him look pale in 4 seconds. When the solider dies.
Yep
Ya theres no way you can actually shoot a whole movie in one continuous shot lol ...One scene can sometimes take a week or more to film
@@donwilk9196 it shows how little youtubers and general audiences understand filmmaking.
when i was listening to the director commentary track a few days ago, Mendes mentions that he drained his own face of colour..god knows how but apparently he can
The most decorated sniper of WWI was Francis Pegahmagabow, a Canadian First Nations soldier of the Ojibwa tribe, with 378 confirmed kills
Time to be that fucking guy. I prefer Ojibwe as its closest to the pronunciation i'm used too. (Ojibwa is a totally fine anglicized form) but even Anishinaabe is sometimes more often used in official names.
@@REVAN2338 I was originally going to spell it Ojibwe but spell check and a quick Google search indicated I was wrong
@@rundownthriftstore With any word passed down through an Oral tradition. Spread over a very large stretch of land is gonna have a large variety in names. So technically both are correct, it's just not common in my experience to see or hear it spelled/pronounced as Oj-ib-wa.
Ojibwe Canadian here. most of us spells/say it with the “E”. From my experience ojibwa seems to be more for an American pronunciation/spelling.
CONFIRMED! there could be hundreds more that wasn’t
the hand falling into the corpse after getting cut was a real soldiers diary entry in WWII
I love the fakeout because you think that it will come up again later as an infection so you assume Schofield will die, making what actually happens even more shocking
WW1. A note, yes, infection, in particular Gas Gangrene by this stage in the war was still a major killer. However, the medical services had improved vastly over multiple years of conflict, even if that small wound did suppurate the likelihood of amputation or death was very low. The worst cases of gangrene and other lethal infections of wound shock were seen in soldiers wounded and where evacuation (because of ongoing fighting) was long delayed, so many men already had significantly advanced wound infections, blood loss, exposure or a combination of these by the time they reached medical aid, hours or days after they were wounded. It was these poor souls that represented the grim harvest of limbs and lives to disease at this stage in the war.
Yes! And the diary was found by Krysty Wilson-Cairns (the writer of 1917), she said in the diary the soldier wrote the consistency of the dead body is similar to Camembert 😩
@@cyberdan42 My God. Those poor soldiers. The amount they must have suffered before dying is unreal.
That tripwire scene was heart-stopping in IMAX
I saw it in theaters too and it was very good
Omg same
Bloody rat
I saw it also in IMAX and it scared the hell out of me it was loud asf
Facts.
Hats off to Nahid for crying, unashamedly, this movie calls for it. This is such an incredible movie, beginning to end. I had no idea how it was shot when I went into it.
Timestamp cause he's my favorite of the Normies and thats awesome he did that for this film since I by my own admission did too.
didnt nahid serve too? not sure where and for how long, but im pretty sure he did
When did he cry? I must have missed it
There are three parts to make a movie good.
1. Good Acting
2. Good Cinematography
3. Good Script
This movie had good actors, and AMAZING Cinematography, that will be taught in schools for years. BUT....the story was fucking horrible. Plot holes, and characters making stupid decisions for no reason other then plot.
@@darthrange1 Can I ask about which plotholes because I felt like the movie covered everything.
Notice how the German trenches were much better than the British ones. That’s mostly true as the Germans would dig their lines where the ground was the highest and driest whereas the British had to make due with what was in front of them
They also have the luxury of logistics. The British needed to ferry supplies like concrete and steel over the English Channel, while the Germans only have to bring up supplies from their homeland through road and rail
Yeah, since the Germans dug in first on the high ground, they got to carve out their trenches in the chalk uplands. The poor Brits, French, Americans and Canadians had to wallow around in the muck, in trenches that were constantly flooding.
I believe the German actually preparing for a stalemate, like they know there will be a stalemate, so they build their trench far more better
@@John_Ass no one was prepared for the Western Front to turn into the bloody stalemate that it was.
@@SSDConker2 let me fix my mistakes, I believe the German anticipate a stalemate was going to happen unlike the allies who believe the war would just end in a few weeks, so the German made their trench far more better than the allies.
Watching this movie in a darkened theater was an experience. The sound of the explosion when the rat sets off the trip wire makes you jump out of your skin. The cumulative effect of the one shot is incredibly oppressive. The catharsis at the end is uplifting. Very powerful film making indeed. Roger Deakins truly deserved his Oscar for this.
Yes, it was incredible to experience it in the theater. I felt like I was there.
its is amazing they only used "big" name actors for cameos, to represent the "great figures" of war. but because this movie was about the commun man in war , we focused un not so know names , the foot soldiers that bear the brunt of the real wars, the battles were fueled whith they blood.... they always are...
25:55 Suraj the one thing he should NOT do is pick up the German’s helmet, as that is quintessentially German and a one way ticket to getting shot by your own guys
@James Greer okay but he doesn’t know when he’s going to make it back to his lines, and the second he comes into view he’s going to get shot at by his guys. The men in the trenches will see him looooong before he sees them
@James Greer Civil War? These are European armies, the wars in Europe were very different to the US civil war experience
@@Damo2690 well in his defense the civil war showed early signs of what was to come with the future of modern warfare, such as trenches, a lot of early uses of indirect fire, weapons that had an extremely high rate of fire etc. and Europe didn’t pay to close attention to it. There’s a good The Great War video on it, I believe it was an out of the trenches episode. If anyone wants I can look for the link
@James Greer have you seen pictures of WWI battlefields? Have you seen overhead views of the layout of the trench systems? The battlefields were a hellscape and the trenches were designed to be as confusing to an attacker as possible, not to mention all the abandoned trenches in no man’s land or behind the line that are no longer in use. Also in lull periods when no attacks were happening the front lines were pretty quiet with not too much commotion as sticking your head over the trench is a good way to get it shot by a sniper. In fact one of the last soldiers killed in the war was George Edward Ellison who was shot by a German sniper just an hour before the armistice came into effect
Man the ending of this movie really had me in tears for the first time in a long while. As soon as he opened the box that he was carrying in his pocket the whole movie and then it turns out to be pictures of his wife and kids, I broke immediately.
This movie captures the tragedy of war perfectly. Hats off to Sam Mendes and the rest of the crew, especially the lead actor. They did a great job. ❤️
Its good cry. Dont lose your sensibility
🎶 I’m going theeeere, to see my fatherrr 🎶
That whole forest song sends chills down my spine, LOVE this movie! 🙌
That lady with the baby broke my heart because something similar like that probably happened during any of the world wars. To think that someone had to go through that just breaks me.
What made it cool was it played an interesting part of the theme of the story. It was another obstacle for this guy, sort of a temptation. Like "I could stay here and live my life with this woman and the child" but he had to continue his mission despite that.
Can you tell me what happens because if it's something fucked up that happens to the baby because I don't wanna see it
@@lb0433 Nothing happens to the baby
@@lb0433 nothing happend to it, atleast not on screen. But if you dont think you could handle that then i would advice you to stat away from this film since its very Dark
@@johnnyskinwalker4095
No, Scofield was not tempted to "live his life" in a ruin's basement, in the middle of a warzone with that girl and infant, thereby deserting the British Army. And he already has a wife and two little girls waiting for him back in England anyway.
But you're dead on that this was another obstacle on his journey, eating up more of that precious time.
You guys should react to JoJo Rabbit. It’s a great movie
Best of Takia movie
@@shortstuff780 ah yes, Takia Witiati
so good for a movie that takes place in nazi germany with a kid in the Youth Group, such great story telling
Facts
Shit was sad asf
Every time someone says "He's dead", take a drink.
100%
When do they say that?
Edit: Scratch that, i thought you meant in the movie
Hamilton line: “Raise a Glass.”
A point about the trenches and why the Germans had "better" ones:
By 1917 Germany was clearing up the Eastern Front while Russian Empire fell from the Communists and a Russian civil war began. But for the rest of the year until Germanys army in the est could get tol the west they were preparing to defend. So their trenches (even the ones they abandonedin favour of the great "Hindenburg-line") were deeper, had concrete as a base and as seen big cellars/shelters for men to sleep in close to the front.
Also the fact that German trenches were seen as new German lands. Allied trenches didn't focus on defense as much as utility and cost effectiveness
Both correct, but need to add a couple of things more, early in the war (1914) the Germans were on the offensive and captured most of Belgium and large swathes of France, then their attack was halted. The Germans launched one major Western Front attack in 1915 and another in 1916 but otherwise concentrated on defending the territory they captured with thick defensive lines and local counter attacks. The allies (at this time mainly France, Belgium and British Commonwealth forces) focussed much more heavily on recapturing the captured territory in German hands, the philosophy included a concept that trench lines which were deep and long lasting would discourage a necessary "offensive mindset" in the troops so allied trenches tended to be less heavily fortified. This film is set in 1917 where the Germans (awaiting the influx of reinforcements from the East after the Imperial Russian collapse) retreated from their already strong lines (which you see here) to a set of specifically planned (on strong ground) and built (wide, deep and heavily fortified against infantry, artillery and by then tank - to wide in theory for tanks to cross - attack) trench lines, the Hindenburg Line, the Germans held this line through 1917.
Also saying that German tech was better in WW2 is extremely arguable. For example, sure they built heavy tanks that would on paper be superior, but in practice they were plagued by reliability issues and the mass-produced and relatively cheap Shermans could do the same job for less. They were also designed to be repairable in the field unlike German heavies. They also had rifles and jets ect but failed to factor in their lowered manufacturing capacity and lack of manpower later in the war, which caused them to field equipment with teething issues. Meth'd-up Hitler failed to understand that large-scale warfare is about logistics and industrial capacity.
@@spartan963300 I mean, in a certain sense German technology WAS better. A Tiger would get the better of a Sherman most of the time in a straight engagement. Now, I’m not sure how mythologized this is, but I’ve heard the argument that, since Germany had to demilitarize, large parts of its armed forces needed new equipment, which would be newer than especially that of the French who still had theirs left over from WW1, leading to higher need for innovation on the German side. Later projects like the V2, jets, and night vision (though all prototypes at that point) add to that.
The problem was that it didn’t have the capacity to run all this new technology. If the US had the same amount of and access to resources as Germany, they likely wouldn’t have been able to crank out nearly as many Shermans. Also, large tanks, though technologically impressive, were a logistical nightmare rather than designed in a backwards way. Hitler’s fascination with super weapons really did not do the Wehrmacht any favors.
@@jordinagel1184 Yeah precisely, no point building advanced weapons if you don't have the logistics to support them. Allies understood this and stuck with tough, cheap equipment that could be repaired in the field.
It's mind blowing that they went and found a big empty field, and then walked through the script and marked the spots where each set needed to be, and then built all of it from scratch, then rehearsed the whole thing for about 6 months. Amazing feat of filmmaking in every way.
This movie is beautiful looking, good thing you’re watching it. My favorite war movie ever has to be “hacksaw ridge” if you haven’t watched it I recommend it.
Hacksaw Ridge is amazing.
@@freakda96 100%
Yea hacksaw ridge was amazing too but this movie just beats it by a little for me
I like how the main character wasn’t some G.i joe super ranger but a random young soldier just trying to complete his mission....it felt more real to me
Pilots are really valuable, they're not only fighters, but they have an overview of the positions.
The pilot might've understood a bit of English too: "Put him out of his misery..." is a bit scary to hear even though it's followed by an offer of water.
This was the last movie I saw in theaters before covid hit. It was such an incredible experience seeing it on a big screen. I was openly sobbing for much of the movie. I don’t normally watch war movies but this was SO well made- acting, set, shooting. All of it was done to perfection. Glad to see your reaction!
The actor George MacKay is amazing! First time i saw him in a movie was a few years ago in Marrowbone (a great horror movie btw, i recommend it) and i knew from there he was going places. So glad he finally got the recognition he deserves
I find it funny that he played Tommen Baratheon (Lannister), Tom in this, and Thomas Lancaster in The King. The guy was born to be Tom.
I went to the movies alone for the first time to watch this movie.. I remember crying alone in the cinema surrounded by old people lol
This is not a disrespect to anyone else, i enjoy the whole group.
But in all honesty my Eyes were affixed on Nahid, i enjoyed his perspective and insight. He gave a 10/10 reaction.
I think partly because Nahid was in the military so he has a better connection to it than the others.
Yep naturally he has the best comments because this genre is closest to his experience
Just gonna throw this out there, but you rated someone on how they watched something as you watched them watch it. Let that sink in.
Agreed. He has a appreciation for the actions the characters take in war movies. Anytime the normies react to a war movie, I always hope he is one of the reactors.
@@Cookieboy70 They're reacting to the Pacific after Band of Brothers. Nahid is in that one too.
Hey, Normies.
You watch my stuff as I watch yours. I'm an extra in the film and trailer.
What small world!! that is so awesome!! That must have been an experience to be behind this amazing movie! - Nahid

Sampat Dasmahapatra That’s why I can’t watch these guys. That and the fact that their information on history is woefully inadequate. That, in itself, is fine, but they tend to talk with such authority about things they have no knowledge of. I find it both frustrating & off putting.
@@susanmaggiora4800 100% agree! I can't believe how ignorant some viewers are and how they miss so much but have no trouble pontificating on silly things that don't even matter.
@@1siddynickhead chill it's not that deep💀
Saw this opening week in theatres. So amazing, it pulls you into it because there are no cuts to make you feel away from the actions
that rat scene almost gave me a heart attack
There is a very good amount of cuts in the movie, but there are hidden.
You can see them in some swinging shots and when the camera is covered for a split second
I refuse to believe it.
@@spandanmukherjee7013 trust me they are there. Shots that zoom in without characters can be easily edited into a new scene
Some are more obvious than others. The most hidden that I can't even see myself, but going by Corridor Crew's word that scenes like jumping into the water or sliding into a crater, they seamlessly replaced the actors with CGi replacements.
I saw this in IMAX and my eyes almost hurt because the movie didn’t blink. But in a good way. Blew me away

"He's not the one I am expecting to die." I was waiting for this because you said "He'll die" plenty of times during the first minutes of the movie
My tears flowed incessantly while I was watching this movie. I am very glad that you watched it.
One of the best cinematic experiences in my life. Would watch it over and over
The reaction to the milk made no sense to me. It would be a great find.
Why would you want water instead?
Saw this in IMAX with my older brother. Incredible experience. I cried like a baby at the end. This movie def should have won best picture over Parasite in my opinion. And I agree with the other comment about doing a reaction for JoJo rabbit. Amazing movie as well.
While World War 1 was an incredibly bloody war, it is important to understand that more people died as a result of disease (the Spanish Flu being a huge contributor to that) then from actial combat. Throughout warfare in human history disease has often claimed more lives then the fighting itself. Just a little perception on how bad wartime and battlefield conditions could be at the time.
The spanish flu is not considered to be part of WW1, which was one of the first major wars where deaths from disease DID NOT cause more deaths. The deaths from disease is about 2 million which is less than 10% of fatalities.
Spanish Flu came a year after WW1 finished
@@darkmatter6714 And had absolutely nothing to do with Spain. But you're talking about the second wave. The first wave started in 1918 and a number of soldiers did die from it at the end of the war but the massive death rate wasn't until the following year...
..you know, like NOW.
@@simonbarabash2151 The Spanish Flu did overlap with the tailend of WW1 by 9 months. And as a result of the poor conditions, immigration of troops from across the world into Europe and the subsequent return of said troops back home, lead to one of the worst pandemics in human history. What made the Spanish Flu particularly devastating was how much it effected otherwise young and healthy adults, many of whom were soldiers. You would be correct in saying that most of these deaths did not occur during the war itself, but the war was definitely a contributor to how many people became infected.
@@larrykenshalo8564 The first wave was what occured during WW1, and it did not kill nearly enough to outdo battlefield deaths. Your original statement is still wrong no matter how you try to spin it.
As for being a contributor, that would be like counting deaths in the Russian civil war, Polish-Soviet war, as well as the Civil conflicts in Germany, Baltics and East Europe, not to mention WW2. Everything in history is linked.
Its amazing to see how far George MacKay has come. From a small role in Peter Pan to Johnny and the Bomb, all the way to the lead role in a Best Picture nominated film. He may not be a household name, but he's easily one of the best actors working today.
It's not actually one shot. There are quite a few hidden cuts here and there.
Definitely do react to the behind the scenes. It’s broken down into a few parts and it’s not too long but the work put into it from acting to camera work to set design is insane
by 1917 great britain and the allies were advancing against the central powers, which is why british trenches were being dug on dirt and mud while german trenches were fortified positions. so it's not that the germans had better engineering, they just had home advantage
A big reason the British used that helmet was for the profile. Being able to tell friend from foe by helmet shape was important and the Germans got the jump on adopting the best helmet style so everyone else did the best they could while being distinct.
25:45 this should be in the top moments in cinema history or the decade, the cinematography, score and everything is just perfect.
Also just in case this wasn't said, the movie wasn't SHOT in one take, it was shot in multiple scenes and EDITED to make it look like 1 continuous shot with no cuts. It's all editing! There's actually like 1 or 2 screenwipes (the waterfall jump being a prime example) that disguise the editing trick. Theres a cut there if you look hard enough!
Super cool technical achievement, and a damn good war movie in general. I was on the edge of my seat literally the entire time, haha. Loved your reactions, as always, you guys are the most animated!
I saw this in theaters about a month after being in a shooting, which made the scene especially in the burnt town feel more crazy and real. The sound effects, fight or flight, the confusion.
"Dunkirk was WW1 right?"
SMH.....
Relax kiddo. Not everyone is a history buff, and many people don't know about dunkirk besides the movie.
They are normies tbh
this is definitely my favorite ww1 film. 2nd being the peter jackson documentary if that counts.3rd is all quiet.
Ever see Gallipoli or War Horse? They're both very good
Yeah, And They Shall Not Grow Old was strangely engrossing
The Lost Battalion is a good one as well.
Paths of Glory is amazing too, this films long shots were inspired by it.
Stanley Kubrik and Kirk Douglas
@@Damo2690 sounds good ill check it out!
this was my movie of the year, if im counting it as a 2019 movie. among stuff like end game and joker, this just stood as the most unique. definitely a masterpiece
Milk comes out of cows and goes into a bucket. Don’t understand why that’s disgusting to you. Where did you think it came from?
I think they believed that the milk itself was old, and left out in the heat where it could have been exposed to bacteria, mold, etc. Raw milk isn't pasteurized so it could be a health issue if it was in fact old milk. (Which it probably wasn't, but that's what they might have assumed)
@@larrykenshalo8564
I guess they must have thought that. Which means they don’t know that pasteurised milk is only a recent invention historically speaking and don’t know humanity has been drinking milk straight from the cow for millennia with no issues
@@domainmojo2162
The hand in the chest was the left one. He used the right to drink
@@domainmojo2162 lmao you’re so confidently wrong
First time I comment in this channel. So happy you choose this film.
the behind the scenes for this movie is amazing you really do need to watch
I think it’s really understated how important Indian troops were to the British strategy in WWI.
keeping with the war genre not for a reaction just a general recommendation: The Liberator (2020) on Netflix. hybrid cgi-rotoscope animated four part-series that tells the story of the 157th Infantry regiment throughout WWII.
@Dank Waifu American about native Americans and Mexican American and their white pl that gave them a shot
You have to watch the movie Merry Christmas by joyeux noel. There it is shown how the French, German and Scottish soldiers celebrated Christmas Eve. Absolutely worth seeing👌🏻
I love your channel, y’all are so cool and have really great input
When I first saw this movie I didn't know about the one shot aspect. Saw it in a Dolby theater and was continuously blown away. 20 minutes in i was losing my mind with how this was shot and it kept me so tense.
Love this movie, made me cry multiple times and am excited for your reaction to it!!
This movie was captivating. Can't take your eyes off the screen for even one second!
I was an extra in this movie! You're right about the huge amount of rehearsal and work that had to go into it. I was only in the early trench scenes in the first 10 minutes, but that was nearly a week on set. If I had wanted to do the battle scene at the end I would have needed to commit 6-8 weeks for it, which my regular job couldn't flex for, but it was great even to be in for a few seconds.
I watched this movie in theatres and had an old man and his daughter sitting next to me. Right after the scene with the pilot, while emotions were running high, the dad suddenly stopped breathing in his seat and his daughter started screaming for him to wake up. The movie was stopped and an ambulance was called and in the 15 minutes it took for them to come, the dad had been lifeless in his seat for at least 2. I still don't know what happened, but luckily he regained consciousness.
To this date, seeing someone die on screen then almost witnessing a person die right next to me straight after has the been one of the most harrowing experiences I've ever had. Made me realize how fickle our life really is.
The best behind the scenes that I would watch are by insider and IMDb. Really cool to see how much work went into them
George MacKay, pronounced MacKeye, is one lovely man. I met him on the 28 Feb at the London premiere of True Story of the Kelly Gang, in which he portrays Australian Ned Kelly. We talked about Ireland and his O’Leary side, Ned Kelly and my Irish Great Uncle Private Ryan MM, Irish Guards; who carried messages for an officer in charge of bombs and killed in action at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Watch George in the Kelly Gang and also 11.22.63 with James Franco. George is a fantastic and versatile actor. Adding another film: For Those in Peril - George was phenomenal!
Holy cow! Wish I met him
I wish I met him because I love him
1917 was one of my favorite movies last year. I watched it in a Dolby Theater which enhanced the movie experience 10 fold.
Why all the groans over drinking the milk?
Have these guys never drunk fresh milk before?
Raw milk is extremely good for you too
Loved this movie. Saw it before Covid happened. It was tough to watch because my grandfather served in WWI. He was poisoned by mustard gas and he survived but his voice was never the same. When WWII started he told my dad to go into the navy. Thankfully, my dad was on the younger side and the war was over before he had to go. We were grateful because my dad’s best friend went into the army and was at the Battle of the Bulge. My brother was a sniper in the 82nd Airborne so I have a soft spot for soldiers. This was excellent and I loved the actors. Thanks for your reaction. Try Hacksaw Ridge. It’s excellent also.
11:02 "It's a one-shot!" ;)
(Actually he said "It's a mine shaft!", but to me it sounded like "one-shot" initially)
Holy crap I was just searching for a reaction from you guys on this. Fate led me here. Love your Naruto reactions man
'The Jumblies' is a poem by Edward Lear. Also the mission they're on is about as safe as going to sea in a sieve.
They did mention that they had set new wire recently, less chance of infection, also very fresh bleeding wound with a lot of blood rushing out will naturally keep alot of potential foriegn contaminants out. He washed out it pretty quickly after and had it wrapped the rest. Even in WWI not everyone that was wounded got infected, even from barbed wire, he has a good of a chance as anyone else does there, maybe even better since he seemed aware of the infection risks and alot of them didn't at the time.
This movie isn't a true story, its a combination of stories Sam Mendes' grandfather told them. The date they use April 6th, 1917 is when America joined the war officially. However, the German retreat to the Hindenburg line was real but happened a month earlier. The British were not surprised by it though, they were well aware the Germans were going to fall back to a stronger position. So the whole walking into a trap storyline didn't actually happen. Still an amazing film, really captures the spirit of the war and what happened to the soldiers.
I highly recommend "They Shall Not Grow Old" which is colorized actual footage - so powerful!
This is the last movie I saw in a theater. I bought the DVD, but even with a big flat screen and surround sound, the experience in a theater can’t be matched.
The AMC is closed, of course, but the movie poster for 1917 is still there.
Very surreal.
For the difference between the allied and the germans tranches, it was mostly due to the state of mind of the hierarchy: they where already in france, so for the germans, they where digging in to conserve what land they had already taken, so in some cases, they even put concrete at the bottom of the trench to limit the amount of mud. while for he allied, they had to liberate their land at all cost, so no need to reinforce the trench since they will take the geran's one tomorrow (exept of course tomorrow took 4 years)
George MacKay - brilliant actor. He was a child actor and he’s been in every genre of movie under the sun since than and acted with the majority of great British actors, but it wasn’t until 1917 where he made more of a name for himself internationally. The Kelly Gang, Pride, Captain Fantastic and Sunshine of an Leith are some of his better known performances/films. When I was a teen I had a big crush on him when he was the love interest in this teen-sci-fi-romance film with Saoirse Ronan called “How I Live Now”
He’s wrong about Josh hartnett.. just watched a 2020 movie with him and it was great.
About him getting stabbed. During WWI most troops used serrated blades, and "toothed" blades. Those are now outlawed by the Geneva convention because of exactly what happened in the film. Those blades cause severe damage when they stab and if they are twisted it shreds flesh, muscle, and causes significant bleeding. So much so that once your stabbed, there's not much you can do. You just bleed out for a bit, depending on how much someone tries to help you will depend how slowly. But ya, its not a nice way to go. And they showed that well
First movie in a long time that impressed me. I actually saw it at home first thinking it was just another war movie but after that I went to the theater for it. First time I've ever done than. It even motivated me enough to go and watch Hitchcock's Rope from 1948 which was one of the first movies that did the "one take".
ps. I found it weird on one hand that you as movie makers didn't catch the cuts but also it's great that you can get into a movie to the degree that you aren't scrutinizing the technical at all times
There are a lot more cuts than a few, the transitions are so smooth on purpose to have that feel of one shot
I’m a filmmaker and I was taken to the movies by an actor friend who said I would absolutely freak out. They were right. I could not pay attention to the story. I was just mesmerized by the cinematography.
German trenches were better constructed and deeper and safer along the British sector because from 1914 until august 1918 the Germans were making strategic retreats to straighten their lines and increase their fortifications (they did a big one in 1917 - which is the setup for this movie). That meant they got to choose the best ground while British troops were forced to take the lower lying wetter ground where it’s was very difficult to dig deep dry trenches. Same thing happened to the French but not so much because the Germans attacked heavily in the verdun sector for years and couldn’t be so choosy about the ground they held.
It’s not all one shot. They used clever camera work, cgi and make their cuts so seem less that it looks like one continuous shot. Which is awesome. I believe it was one shot the entire movie until I did research on it and found out how they did it.
George MacKay did a wonderful job taking on this roll! Should have won more Oscars for sure!
Love when these guys react together!
Haven’t watched the vid yet so apologies if this has been brought up, but if not, the documentary ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ is just mind blowing. The restored/quickened original footage makes you feel like you’re there in the trenches with those guys, huddled down while shells explode nearby. Very much recommended, even if not for a reaction video.
saw it recently - amazing film
A soldier will always choose a non water approach over jumping in the water. Water is noisy and slow no ability to maneuver.
really hard to swim when wearing 60+ pounds of gear as well
I like that they used big name actors for the relatively minor but extremely well acted roles and more unknowns for the main roles.
I am a huge ww1 fan and I remember when I first saw it, I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get an actual battle scene. Now I really appreciate the story and what they accomplished. Top 5 war movie for me now.
Love seeing people react to this. Lord, I sobbed.
They were heading to the The 2nd Battalion, Devonshire Regiment. Devon is my proud home county and the Devonshire regiment was a very old sect of the British army, dating back to 1685. I don't live to far from where they were originally garrisoned in Topsham Barricks.
Dunkirk was set during the early stages of WW2
