Two young British soldiers during the First World War are given an impossible mission: deliver a message deep in enemy territory that will stop 1,600 men, and one of the soldiers' brothers, from walking straight into a deadly trap Directed by - Sam Mendes 119 min Liked it - 16967 votes genres - Drama My Review- 1917 my Rating 10/10. NO SPOILERS other than what's in the trailer.
I'm amazed that I'm giving a film of my least favourite genre a perfect score but I think Sam Mendez and Krystal Wilson -Cairns who co wrote 1917 with Sam Mendez have had the final say on the futility of War and have done both their Grandfathers proud.
Both Wilson and Mendes separately say they want the film to act as a corrective to a repackaging of the war in the service of jingoistic isolationism. "People who are attached to some sort of nostalgic vision treat these wars retrospectively as triumphs, says Mendes. "In fact, they were tragedies.
"That kind of hijacking of shared cultural memories and pride is very subtle, and very easy to do. At the moment, it happens all the time. 'We're going back to being on our own again! This is the spirit that fought two world wars! That's what we're now lumbered with."
1917 definitely is a Tragedy and I think possibly two reasons why this relatively simple story succeeds is that it's shot brilliantly in a group of single takes that have been seamlessly edited together to appear as one long take to create the impression that it's unfolding in real time. Also because co writer Krysty Wilson - Cairns unique feminine perspective has contributed an emphasis on the emotional impact. I'm sure it's her influence that helps humanise the personal sacrifice and bravery of these young men who by an accident of birth were born into an era when an entire generation on both sides was erased from the face of the earth between 1914 and 1918.
Only the human race is capable of such barbaric behaviour through the ages in the pursuit of power, territorial supremacy and hate and it's still happening today.
Sam Mendes of course we know is a great Director and has dedicated this fine film to his Grandfather famed West Indian writer Alfred H. Mendes who served in the 1st Rifle Brigade, and fought for two years in Flanders, along the Belgian Front, and was awarded a Military Medal for distinguishing himself on the battlefield. Towards the end of the war, he accidentally inhaled the poisonous gas used as a weapon by the German army, and was sent back to Britain to recover.
The end credits simply say Dedicated to my Grandfather Alfred H. Mendes "who told us the stories " after five decades of silence when Sam Mendes asked him to tell him about the War his Grandfather was in his mid 70's he lived to be 94 years old.
Sam Mendes won his first Academy Award in 2000 for the superb movie American Beauty his other great films include Road to Perdition, Revolutionary Road, SkyFall, Spectre, Little Voice and Jarhead plus many great stage productions. I predict after his Golden Globe wins for Best Director and Best Movie this week that he is assured of at least 2 more Academy Awards plus the film will be awarded a host of technical awards for "1917 "as the lighting, camera work, editing and sets are extraordinary.
The acting performances of course are all exceptional especially the two young stars
Dean- Charles Chapman as Lance Corporal Blake and George MacKay as Lance Corporal Schofield who set off on an impossible mission to deliver an order to the Captain of The Devonshire regiment to call off their planned attack and avoid an ambush that will cause the deaths of 2000 men including Corporal Blake's brother.
Top name Stars Colin Firth, David Mays and Benedict Cumberbatch have relatively small roles but add their fine stamp of quality performance to the film.
1917 is at times painful and upsetting to watch it's not because of the gory battle scenes with heads being looped off or blood and guts everywhere it's more the result and cruel horrific aftermath of these battles the corpses the dead horses, and the destruction of war, it's all necessary for this film to have the impact it does have.
The score by Thomas Newman son of the famous film score composer Alfred Newman is superb at times it's just a long continuous drone but elegiac in atmosphere. It reminded me of a Mahler symphony especially in the magnificent shadow and fire scenes of the burning French Village Corporal Schofield passes through on his mission. In a totally different way that scene reminded me of Sam Mende's other iconic beautiful moment in American Beauty of leaves whirling around in a wind tunnel I know It may sound odd but along with the ugly scenes of war 1917 has some beautiful moments.
The film affected me personally because of my own Maternal Grandfather Herbert V Fortescue who I never knew and also fought in that war in France and who also was sent back to England to recover from poisoning by gas. I have his War Service record and 2 poignant letters one enquiring of his whereabouts by a lady who obviously cared about him and the other written by his father written in 1917 just 2 months before this film is set requesting any information regarding his son to be forwarded to his new address they put a human touch to the list of dates and battles mentioned in his service record.
I've always boycotted most War films ( I did see the wonderful Australian film Danger Close The Battle of Long Tan earlier this year ) like Saving Private Ryan which I acknowledge may be the finest War Movie up to this time but 1917 in a year where there have been so many exceptional films like Joker, Little Women, Once Upon A Time in America, The Two Popes, Rocketman Ford v Ferrari etc 1917 stands out to me as the best as it will be a classic for ages to come to some up in 3 words Lest We Forget...

Dec. 20, 2019, 8 a. m. The new World War I drama from director Sam Mendes, 1917, unfolds in real-time, tracking a pair of British soldiers as they cross the Western Front on a desperate rescue mission. Seemingly filmed in one continuous take, the 117-minute epic has garnered accolades for its cinematography and innovative approach to a potentially formulaic genre. Although the movies plot is evocative of Saving Private Ryan —both follow soldiers sent on “long journeys through perilous, death-strewn landscapes, ” writes Todd McCarthy for the Hollywood Reporter —its tone is closer to Dunkirk, which also relied on a non-linear narrative structure to build a sense of urgency. “[The film] bears witness to the staggering destruction wrought by the war, and yet it is a fundamentally human story about two young and inexperienced soldiers racing against the clock, ” Mendes tells Vanity Fair s Anthony Breznican. “So it adheres more to the form of a thriller than a conventional war movie. ” Plot-wise, 1917 follows two fictional British lance corporals tasked with stopping a battalion of some 1, 600 men from walking into a German ambush. One of the men, Blake (Dean Charles Chapman, best known for playing Tommen Baratheon in “Game of Thrones”) has a personal stake in the mission: His older brother, a lieutenant portrayed by fellow “Game of Thrones” alumnus Richard Madden, is among the soldiers slated to fall victim to the German trap. “If you fail, ” a general warns in the movies trailer, “it will be a massacre. ” While Blake and his brother-in-arms Schofield (George McKay) are imaginary, Mendes grounded his war story in truth. From the stark realities of trench warfare to the conflicts effect on civilians and the state of the war in spring 1917, heres what you need to know to separate fact from fiction ahead of the movies opening on Christmas Day. Blake and Schofield must make their way across the razed French countryside. (Universal Studios/Amblin) Is 1917 based on a true story? In short: Yes, but with extensive dramatic license, particularly in terms of the characters and the specific mission at the heart of the film. As Mendes explained earlier this year, he drew inspiration from a tale shared by his paternal grandfather, author and World War I veteran Alfred Mendes. In an interview with Variety, Mendes said he had a faint memory from childhood of his grandfather telling a story about “a messenger who has a message to carry. ” Blake and Schofield (seen here, as portrayed by George McKay) must warn a British regiment of an impending German ambush. The director added, “And thats all I can say. It lodged with me as a child, this story or this fragment, and obviously Ive enlarged it and changed it significantly. ” What events does 1917 dramatize? Set in northern France around spring 1917, the film takes place during what Doran Cart, senior curator at the National WWI Museum and Memorial, describes as a “very fluid” period of the war. Although the Allied and Central Powers were, ironically, stuck in a stalemate on the Western Front, engaging in brutal trench warfare without making substantive gains, the conflict was on the brink of changing course. In Eastern Europe, meanwhile, rumblings of revolution set the stage for Russias impending withdrawal from the conflict. Back in Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II resumed unrestricted submarine warfare —a decision that spurred the United States to join the fight in April 1917 —and engaged in acts of total war, including bombing raids against civilian targets. Along the Western Front, between February and April 1917, the Germans consolidated their forces by pulling their forces back to the Hindenburg Line, a “ newly built and massively fortified ” defensive network, according to Mendes. In spring 1917, the Germans withdrew to the heavily fortified Hindenburg Line. (Illustration by Meilan Solly) Germanys withdrawal was a strategic decision, not an explicit retreat, says Cart. Instead, he adds, “They were consolidating their forces in preparation for potential further offensive operations”—most prominently, Operation Michael, a spring 1918 campaign that found the Germans breaking through British lines and advancing “farther to the west than they had been almost since 1914. ” (The Allies, meanwhile, only broke through the Hindenburg Line on September 29, 1918. ) Mendes focuses his film around the ensuing confusion of what seemed to the British to be a German retreat. Operating under the mistaken assumption that the enemy is fleeing and therefore at a disadvantage, the fictional Colonel MacKenzie (Benedict Cumberbatch) prepares to lead his regiment in pursuit of the scattered German forces. “There was a period of terrified uncertainty—had [the Germans] surrendered, withdrawn, or were they lying in wait? ” the director said to Vanity Fair. The movie's main characters are all fictional. In truth, according to Cart, the Germans “never said they were retreating. ” Rather, “They were simply moving to a better defensive position, ” shortening the front by 25 miles and freeing 13 divisions for reassignment. Much of the preparation for the withdrawal took place under cover of darkness, preventing the Allies from fully grasping their enemys plan and allowing the Germans to move their troops largely unhindered. British and French forces surprised by the shift found themselves facing a desolate landscape of destruction dotted with booby traps and snipers; amid great uncertainty, they moved forward cautiously. In the movie, aerial reconnaissance provides 1917s commanding officer, the similarly fictional General Erinmore (Colin Firth) with enough information to send Blake and Schofield to stop MacKenzies regiment from walking into immense danger. (Telegraph cables and telephones were used to communicate during World War I, but heavy artillery bombardment meant lines were often down, as is the case in the movie. ) British soldiers attacking the Hindenburg Line (Photo by the Print Collector/Getty Images) To reach the at-risk battalion, the young soldiers must cross No Mans Land and navigate the enemys ostensibly abandoned trenches. Surrounded by devastation, the two face obstacles left by the retreating German forces, who razed everything in their path during the exodus to the newly constructed line. Dubbed Operation Alberich, this policy of systematic obliteration found the Germans destroying “anything the Allies might find useful, from electric cables and water pipe[s] to roads, bridges and entire villages, ” according to the International Encyclopedia of the First World War. Per the Times, the Germans evacuated as many as 125, 000 civilians, sending those able to work to occupied France and Belgium but leaving the elderly, women and children behind to fend for themselves with limited rations. (Schofield encounters one of these abandoned individuals, a young woman caring for an orphaned child, and shares a tender, humanizing moment with her. ) “On the one hand it was desirable not to make a present to the enemy of too much fresh strength in the form of recruits and laborers, ” German General Erich Ludendorff later wrote, “and on the other we wanted to foist on him as many mouths to feed as possible. ” Aftermath of the Battle of Poelcapelle, a skirmish in the larger Third Battle of Ypres, or Battle of Passchendaele (National WWI Museum and Memorial) The events of 1917 take place prior to the Battle of Poelcappelle, a smaller skirmish in the larger Battle of Passchendaele, or the Third Battle of Ypres, but were heavily inspired by the campaign, which counted Alfred Mendes among its combatants. This major Allied offensive took place between July and November 1917 and ended with some 500, 000 soldiers wounded, killed or missing in action. Although the Allies eventually managed to capture the village that gave the battle its name, the clash failed to produce a substantial breakthrough or change in momentum on the Western Front. Passchendaele, according to Cart, was a typical example of the “give-and-take and not a whole lot gained” mode of combat undertaken during the infamous war of attrition. Who was Alfred Mendes? Born to Portuguese immigrants living on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in 1897, Alfred Mendes enlisted in the British Army at age 19. He spent two years fighting on the Western Front with the 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade but was sent home after inhaling poisonous gas in May 1918. Later in life, Alfred won recognition as a novelist and short story writer; his autobiography, written in the 1970s, was published posthumously in 2002. The “story of a messenger” recalled by the younger Mendes echoes the account of the Battle of Poelcappelle told in his grandfathers autobiography. On the morning of October 12, 1917, Alfreds company commander received a message from battalion headquarters. “Should the enemy counter-attack, go forward to meet him with fixed bayonets, ” the dispatch read. “Report on four companies urgently needed. ” Despite the fact that he had little relevant experience aside from a single signaling course, Alfred volunteered to track down A, B and D Companies, all of which had lost contact with his own C Company. Aware of the high likelihood that he would never return, Alfred ventured out into the expanse of No Mans Land. Alfred Mendes received a military commendation for his actions at the Battle of Poelcappelle. (Public domain/fair use) “The snipers got wind of me and their individual bullets were soon seeking me out, ” wrote Alfred, “until I came to the comforting conclusion that they were so nonplussed at seeing a lone man wandering in circles about No Mans Land, as must at times have been the case, that they decided, out of perhaps a secret admiration for my nonchalance, to dispatch their bullets safely out of my way. ” Or, he theorized, they may have “thought me plain crazy. ” Alfred managed to locate all three missing companies. He spent two days carrying messages back and forth before returning to C Companys shell hole “without a scratch, but certainly with a series of hair-raising experiences that would keep my grand- and great-grandchildren enthralled for nights on end. ” How does 1917 reflect the harsh realities of the Western Front? View of the Hindenburg Line Attempts to encapsulate the experience of war abound in reviews of 1917. “War is hideous—mud, rats, decaying horses, corpses mired in interminable mazes of barbed wire, ” writes J. D. Simkins for Military Times. The Guardian s Peter Bradshaw echoes this sentiment, describing Blake and Schofields travels through a “post-apocalyptic landscape, a bad dream of broken tree stumps, mud lakes left by shell craters, dead bodies, rats. ” Time s Karl Vick, meanwhile, likens the films setting to “Hieronymus Bosch hellscapes. ” These descriptions mirror those shared by the men who actually fought in World War I—including Alfred Mendes. Remembering his time in the Ypres Salient, where the Battle of Passchendaele ( among others) took place, Alfred deemed the area “a marsh of mud and a killer of men. ” Seeping groundwater exacerbated by unusually heavy rainfall made it difficult for the Allies to construct proper trenches, so soldiers sought shelter in waterlogged shell holes. “It was a case of taking them or leaving them, ” said Alfred, “and leaving them meant a form of suicide. ” British soldiers in the trenches According to Cart, leaving ones trench, dugout or line was a risky endeavor: “It was pretty much instant death, ” he explains, citing the threat posed by artillery barrages, snipers, booby traps, poison gas and trip wires. Blake and Schofield face many of these dangers, as well as more unexpected ones. The toll exacted by the conflict isnt simply told through the duos encounters with the enemy; instead, it is written into the very fabric of the movies landscape, from the carcasses of livestock and cattle caught in the wars crosshairs to rolling hills “ comprised of dirt and corpses ” and countryside dotted with bombed villages. 1917 s goal, says producer Pippa Harris in a behind-the-scenes featurette, is “to make you feel that you are in the trenches with these characters. ” The kind of individualized military action at the center of 1917 was “not the norm, ” according to Cart, but “more of the exception, ” in large part because of the risk associated with such small-scale missions. Trench networks were incredibly complex, encompassing separate frontline, secondary support, communication, food and latrine trenches. They required a “very specific means of moving around and communicating, ” limiting opportunities to cross lines and venture into No Mans Land at will. Still, Cart doesnt completely rule out the possibility that a mission comparable to Blake and Schofields occurred during the war. He explains, “Its really hard to say … what kind of individual actions occurred without really looking at the circumstances that the personnel might have been in. ” British soldiers in the trenches, 1917 As Mendes bemoans to Time, World War II commands “a bigger cultural shadow” than its predecessor—a trend apparent in the abundance of Hollywood hits focused on the conflict, including this years Midway, the HBO miniseries “ Band of Brothers ” and the Steven Spielberg classic Saving Private Ryan. The so-called “Great War, ” meanwhile, is perhaps best immortalized in All Quiet on the Western Front, an adaptation of the German novel of the same name released 90 years ago. 1917 strives to elevate World War I cinema to a previously unseen level of visibility. And if critics reviews are any indication, the film has more than fulfilled this goal, wowing audiences with both its stunning visuals and portrayal of an oft-overlooked chapter of military lore. “The First World War starts with literally horses and carriages, and ends with tanks, ” says Mendes. “So its the moment where, you could argue, modern war begins. ” The Battle of Passchendaele was a major Allied offensive that left some 500, 000 soldiers dead, wounded or missing in action.

Two corporals set out across no man's land in WWI to deliver a message to a company to not attack, that it is a trap. One of the corporals has a brother in the group. This is a long drawn out story of two guys trying to make their way through France.
I was not as excited about the two man war play as much as the Golden Globes. Oh, BTW war is "last man standing" so there is your theme that wasn't worth two hours of gun fire.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
I cant wait to watch this. This guy is in SAS: Who Dare Wins and it's very weird to hear him not yelling at the top of his lungs at people going through their basic training... Something went wrong, but dont fret — lets give it another shot. 1917 watch online free. But low-key bo peep was THICC in toy story 4. Had to share this. Enjoy. “Went to see 1917 tonight. What a lot of tosh. First of all, i thought id gone into the wronfg film and was watching a Laurel and Hardy remake because the 2 characters were chatting away, sauntering along enemy territory without a care in the world. Then I felt seasick with all the bouncy, winding and weaving camera work, the lads were all jessies that looked as if theyd never seen a dead man before, they puffed and panted when they ran, nearly cried at a sharp word from higher up, there was far too much greenery between the front lines, nowhere near enough death and destruction. the only bit i thought looked authentic is when the survivor went over the top near the end and ran 300m or so alongside the trenches, taking a shortcut to the general's cabin. The rest was so 2020 it was laughable and i yawned all the way to the end. ”.

The film stars George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, with Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Richard Madden, Claire Duburcq, Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch in supporting roles. It is based in part on an account told to Mendes by his paternal grandfather, Alfred Mendes, 6] and chronicles the story of two young British soldiers during World War I who are tasked with delivering a message calling off an attack doomed to fail soon after the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line during Operation Alberich in 1917. This message is especially important to one of the young soldiers as his brother is taking part in the pending attack. The project was officially announced in June 2018, with MacKay and Chapman signing on in October and the rest of the cast the following March. Filming took place from April to June 2019 in England and Scotland, with cinematographer Roger Deakins and editor Lee Smith using long takes to have the entire film appear as one continuous shot. 1917 premiered in the UK on 4 December 2019 and was theatrically released in the United States on 25 December 2019 by Universal Pictures, and in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2020 by eOne. The film received praise for Mendes's direction, the performances, cinematography, musical score, editing, sound effects, and realism. Among its various accolades, the film received ten nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. The film won Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, and it has received nine nominations at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards. It also won the Producers Guild of America Award for Best Theatrical Motion Picture. Plot [ edit] On 6 April 1917, aerial reconnaissance has observed that the German army, which has pulled back from a sector of the Western Front in northern France, is not in retreat but has made a tactical withdrawal to the new Hindenburg Line, where they are waiting to overwhelm the British with artillery. In the British trenches, with field telephone lines cut, two young British soldiers, Lance Corporals Will Schofield and Tom Blake, are ordered by General Erinmore to carry a message to Colonel Mackenzie of the Second Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment, calling off a scheduled attack that would jeopardise the lives of 1, 600 men, including Blake's brother Lieutenant Joseph Blake. Schofield and Blake cross no man's land to reach the abandoned German trenches. In an underground barracks, they discover a booby-trap tripwire. This is triggered by a rat, and the explosion almost kills Schofield, but Blake saves him, and the two escape. They arrive at an abandoned farmhouse, where they witness a German plane being shot down in flames. Schofield and Blake drag the injured pilot from the plane. Schofield proposes a mercy kill, but Blake insists they help him. The pilot stabs Blake and is shot dead by Schofield. Schofield comforts Blake as he dies, promising to complete the mission and to write to Blake's mother. Schofield is then picked up by a passing British unit. A destroyed canal bridge near the bombed village of Écoust-Saint-Mein prevents the British lorries from crossing. Schofield chooses to cross alone, and comes under fire from a German sniper. He tracks down and kills the sniper, only to be knocked out by a ricocheting bullet. He regains consciousness and proceeds. Under fire, Schofield stumbles into the hiding place of a French woman with an infant. She treats his wounds and he sings the infant a song, giving the woman his canned food and milk from the farm. Continuing, Schofield is shot at as flares light up the night sky. He meets more German soldiers, strangling one and pushing past another who is inebriated. Other soldiers give chase, but he escapes by jumping into a river. He is swept over a waterfall before reaching the riverbank in the morning. In the forest, he finds D Company of the 2nd Devons, which is in the last wave of the attack. As the company starts to move through the trenches to the front, Schofield tries to reach Colonel Mackenzie. Realising that the trenches are too crowded for him to make it to Mackenzie in time, Schofield sprints across the battlefield, just as the infantry begin their charge into the German bombardment. He forces his way into meeting Mackenzie, who reads the letter and reluctantly calls off the attack. Schofield is told that Joseph was among the first wave, and searches for him among the wounded, finding him unscathed. Joseph is upset to hear of his brother's death, but thanks Schofield for his efforts. Schofield gives Joseph his brother's rings and dog tag, and asks to write to their mother about Blake's heroics, to which Joseph agrees. Schofield then sits under a nearby tree, looking at photographs of his two young daughters and his wife. Cast [ edit] Production [ edit] Development and casting [ edit] Amblin Partners and New Republic Pictures were announced to have acquired the project in June 2018, with Sam Mendes directing, and co-writing the screenplay alongside Krysty Wilson-Cairns. [7] Tom Holland was reported to be in talks for the film in September 2018, though ultimately was not involved, 8] and in October, Roger Deakins was set to reunite with Mendes as cinematographer. [9] George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman entered negotiations to star the same month. [10] Thomas Newman was hired to compose the score in March 2019. [11] The same month, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Richard Madden, Andrew Scott, Daniel Mays, Adrian Scarborough, Jamie Parker, Nabhaan Rizwan, and Claire Duburcq joined the cast in supporting roles. [12] Writing [ edit] In August 2019, Mendes stated, It's the story of a messenger who has a message to carry. And that's all I can say. It lodged with me as a child, this story or this fragment and obviously I've enlarged it significantly. But it has that at its core. 13] In Time in 2020, Mendes stated that the writing involved some risk-taking: I took a calculated gamble, and I'm pleased I did because of the energy you get just from driving forward (in the narrative) in a war that was fundamentally about paralysis and stasis. The ideas for a script, which Mendes wrote with Krysty Wilson-Cairns, came from the story that Mendes's grandfather, Alfred Mendes, a native of Trinidad who was a messenger for the British on the Western Front, had told him. [14] Filming [ edit] Roger Deakins was cinematographer for the film, reuniting with Mendes for their fourth collaboration, having first worked together on Jarhead in 2005. [14] Filming was accomplished with long takes and elaborately choreographed moving camera shots to give the effect of one continuous take. [15] 16] Time reported, The camera stays with the two lance corporals from the film's first frame to its last, as if unfolding in one long take, much like the technique used by Alejandro González Iñárritu in his 2015 Best Picture winner Birdman. The aim is to immerse the viewer in a propulsive, at times headlong journey that travels like a lit fuse. 17] Filming began on 1 April 2019 and continued through June 2019 in Wiltshire, Hankley Common in Surrey and Govan, Scotland, as well as at Shepperton Studios. [18] 19] 20] 21] Concern was raised over the planned filming on Salisbury Plain by conservationists who felt the production could disturb potentially undiscovered remains, requesting a survey before any set construction began. [22] 23] Some shots required the use of as many as 500 background extras. [2] Sections of the film were also shot near Low Force, on the River Tees, Teesdale in June 2019. The production staff had to install signs warning walkers in the area not to be alarmed at the prosthetic bodies strewn around the site. [24] Release [ edit] The film premiered on 4 December 2019 at the 2019 Royal Film Performance. [25] The film began a limited release in the United States and Canada on 25 December 2019 in eleven venues. This made it eligible for 2020 awards, including the 77th Golden Globes, held on 5 January 2020, where the film won both the Golden Globe for Best Dramatic Motion Picture and Best Director for Mendes. Reception [ edit] Box office [ edit] As of 2 February 2020, 1917 has grossed 119. 2 million in the United States and Canada and 129. 8 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of 249 million. [4] 5] In the US, the film made 251, 000 from 11 venues on its first day of limited release. [26] It went on to have a limited opening weekend of 570, 000, and a five-day gross of 1 million, for an average of 91, 636 per-venue. [27] The film would go on to make a total of 2. 7 million over its 15 days of limited release. It then expanded wide on 10 January, making 14 million on its first day, including 3. 25 million from Thursday night previews. It went on to gross 36. 5 million for the weekend (beating the original projections of 25 million) becoming the first film to dethrone Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at the box office. [28] In its second weekend of wide release the film made 22 million (and 26. 8 million over the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday) finishing second behind newcomer Bad Boys for Life. [29] It then made 15. 8 million the following weekend, remaining in second. [30] Critical response [ edit] On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 89% based on 388 reviews, with an average rating of 8. 4/10. The site's critics consensus reads, Hard-hitting, immersive, and an impressive technical achievement, 1917 captures the trench warfare of World War I with raw, startling immediacy. 31] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 78 out of 100 based on 57 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews. 32] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale, and PostTrak reported it received an average 4. 5 out of 5 from viewers, with 69% of people saying they would definitely recommend it. [28] Several critics named the film among the best of 2019, including Kate Erbland of IndieWire [33] and Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter. [34] Karl Vick, writing for Time magazine, found the film to stand up favourably when compared to Stanley Kubrick 's WWI film Paths of Glory, stating, motion pictures do require a certain amount of motion, and the major accomplishment of 1917, the latest film to join the canon, maybe that its makers figured out what the generals could not: a way to advance. 35] Rubin Safaya of described the movie as "A visceral experience and visual masterclass. 36] Writing for the Hindustan Times, Rohan Naahar stated, I can only imagine the effect 1917 will have on audiences that aren't familiar with the techniques Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins are about to unleash upon them. 37] In his review for NPR, Justin Chang was less positive. He agreed the film was a "mind-boggling technical achievement" but did not think it was that spectacular overall, as Mendess style with its impression of a continuous take “can be as distracting as it is immersive. ” [38] Of the long takes, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times opined that "such demonstrative self-reflexivity might have been deployed to productive effect; here, it registers as grandstanding. 39] Richard Brody of The New Yorker stated that, far from intensifying the experience of war, they] trivialize it; the effect isnt one of artistic imagination expanded by technique but of convention showily tweaked. 40] Top ten lists [ edit] 1917 appeared on many critics' year-end top-ten lists: 41] 1st – Sam Allard, Cleveland Scene [42] 1st – Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post [43] 1st – Tim Miller, Cape Cod Times [44] 1st – Lawrence Toppman, The Charlotte Observer [45] 1st – Mal Vincent, The Virginian-Pilot [46] 1st – Sandy Kenyon, WABC-TV [47] 2nd – Randy Myers, The Mercury News [48] 3rd – Matt Goldberg, Collider [49] 3rd – Jason Rantz, KTTH [50] 3rd – Mara Reinstein, Us Weekly [51] 3rd – Chuck Yarborough, Cleveland Plain Dealer [52] 4th – Lindsey Bahr, Associated Press [53] 4th – Benjamin Lee, The Guardian [54] 4th – Brian Truitt, USA Today [55] 5th – Staff consensus, Consequence of Sound [56] 5th – Bruce Miller, Sioux City Journal [57] 6th – Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle [58] 6th – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone [59] 6th – Ethan Alter, Marcus Errico and Kevin Polowy, Yahoo!

1 german desliked kkk. I think its cool they mentioned the Newfoundlanders in the movie. They had already been destroyed before the date this movie is set in. It was a nice tribute to a people who suffer the highest casualties at Beaumont Hamel. This was REALLY funny. More sketches like this PLEASE.
