I always appreciated the Major saying “Well done, lad”.
I think this was really cool, the corporal had to argue with the CO, which is improper, but in the end the CO had to concede so I reckon he was quite butthurt. The major with no stakes in the pissing contest could clearly see what the young corporal had accomplished, and acted accordingly.
Idk I feel like the interactions in this scene were really realistic
@@Vacuon Same - it was a really nice element of chain of command acted out so you can see the weight of the final decision being on the CO and the Major was able to follow orders but still be human.
Just three words, but lifting so much weight.
Facts, I’ve always appreciated that at least one guy other than Blake’s brother appreciated Schofield’s effort
I'm sure schofield appreciated that too
Casting well-known actors as the officers who have small roles throughout the film was a brilliant idea, it makes them seem "important", while all the "regular" soldiers like our two main characters are relatively unknown actors.
A very nice way to go about things, I feel. It plays very well into the needed effect
I noticed that, too! It’s very brilliant indeed and increases my appreciation and love for this film.
While I totally agree with and see you point in full I must say that the actor who played Blake was in Game of Thrones, twice. He played one of the Lannister boys killed by Lord Karstark and play the older Tommen Lannister.
never occurred to me, good point.
And yet he isn't as well known as the others. He still has a looooong way to go to be in their caliber of acting.

Message reads:

So you too have been getting your daily call, reminding you to extend your vehicle's warranty..??? Do what I do and press the button to speak to their representative and put on some nice relax music and spam them back...haha
nah bruh i got one of those today bye
So sick of those. I don't understand how they can't be tracked or blocked.

Best thing to do is talk press the number to talk to a human and then just tell them that you are a Nigerian prince wanting to give them money. They take you off the list pretty damn quick.

@@anthony42- Avengers Endgame.

1 Punch Brown YT yeah that’s what I thought
I like how the film doesn’t make Cumberbatchs character wrong, he has a point
He was proven right just a few days later. Battle of Arras happened in real life on the 9th. The movie take place 2-3 days beforehand. Same goddamn place. Quite a lot of those men were only spared a few days. That's the real tragedy.
Yeah
CommandoDude a few weeks, a few days, a few hours, did it really matter? The end result was the same, 300,000 British and Canadian casualties in a little over a month with very little to show for the sacrifice
The entire war was pointless.
War is human nature
You can see the look of defeat on the colonel face when he finally realizes what is going on. Imagine this you've been at War since 1914 in a trench with your men it's now April of 1917 and you finally get a glimmer of hope that the deadlock is broken the Germans are retreating it's time to push it's time to win it's time to go home and then suddenly skinny wrecked looking Soldier comes in and tells you it's all a trap Benedict Cumberbatch acted this scene perfectly as a man who had literally just lost the hope he had and then realizes that he is going to be spending another couple of years in a filthy trench with his men waiting for this war to end. Hope is a dangerous thing.
Holy mother of punctuation! Could you make this any harder to read?

Corporal was right. The only reason the attack was delayed was so they (the generals) could order it again a few weeks later and not look like idiots blundering into a trap.
*Colonel
It was only 3 days later. The Battle of Arras started on April 9th, 1917 in the same area. This movie took place on April 6th, 1917.
@@jakebonaccorso Whoops. In the spirit of being human I will not edit the mistake out.
@@Korijenkins1414 well the difference is that now the Corporal knows its a trap so they delayed the attack so he can plan better and reduced casualties
@@ernestogastelum9123 hah no
The worst part is that the colonel has a point. In a week's time, another message will come from command, telling him to send in his men. Schofield's journey and Tom's death will have been for nothing. World War one truly was a terrible war led by egoistical maniacs.
They come from an era before civil rights movements were a thing. Human life was expendable and there was a hierarchy of who is considered important and who is considered bottom of the barrel. Soldiers back in the days were seen as mere tools for the governments, as it is still now. But the only difference is that there is some sort of humanity and dignity for today's modern soldiers.
@@Jake-dh9qk Bull $shit. They are just more expensive to replace when killed.
dan j thank you friend, for taking this to a political place. UA-cam comments never fail to deliver
All of this because of one man murdered Archduke Ferdinand. Germany overreacted and the whole world came into play.
@@diligentone-six2688 The death of Archduke Ferdinand merely sparked a massive barrel of gunpowder that was set to explode sooner or later.
Colonel Mackenzie was a hardened veteran of wars before the Great War judging by his medal ribbons. Distinguished Service Order, King George V Coronation Medal, the Queen's South Africa Medal and the King's South Africa Medal. He was more than likely a veteran of the the Second Boer War as possibly a Lieutenant or Captain. Good attention to detail.
I've always wondered what Cpt. Miller (Tom Hanks' character) did to get promoted to that rank *before* D-day.
He was a teacher before the war. All I can remember about his chatacter in detail.
I didn't even notice that I was too busy paying attention to the dialogue between Will and Mackenzie
@@TheSecondVersion Since he was a teacher, he probably had a bachelor's degree. Many degree holders during WWII were commissioned as officers. Due to the war, it isn't much of a surprise for a brand new butter bar making captain in a few years.
Hell, they even enlisted news reporters as officers (no commissioning ceremony), with the rank of captain; they just weren't assigned to any units beyond a rudimentary camera crew, if appropriate.
Lol, imagine if there was a queue of 8 people, each with letters containing orders that superseded the last
Sounds like a Monty Python sketch
That was from a John Wayne movie set in Germany
Internet data packets in a nutshell
Now that's what you call satire
Sounds something like Catch-22
In this scene I'm always reminded of the Captain's words earlier in the film: “If you get there, make sure there are witnesses. Some men just want the fight." He knew something our protagonist had yet to learn.
And this is true, there were men still being sent to die even in the final hours before the armistice went into effect because higher ups wanted their last minute medals and glory.
As Mackenzie reads the letter, you can hear one of the men outside shout "30 seconds!". Schofield made it literally with no time to spare
he was technically late the first wave already left.
0:58
Oh god
Yes we also watched the clip.
I love McKay's acting in this. That face after he delivered the message, as if to say, "That's it. It's over? I lost a brother in arms to deliver that."
This was absolutely one of the best movies of 2019. It's defintely a movie that deserved to be watched at the movie theatre. Insane and thrilling experience
One of the best war movies of all time IMO.
So glad I saw this instead of 'Rise of the Jedi.'
@@hoosieryank6731 Its a mistake.
@@hoosieryank6731 my friend wanted to go see star wars and i convinced him we should see 1917. we were not disappointed! although we are both cinematic dumbasses so we probably would have enjoyed star wars just as much lol

A lot of really good acting from Eggs Benedict Cumblybun.
You can see how he goes from dismissal, to grim interest, to restrained anger.
His face practically screams "I do not want to believe you, but I may have to"

That’s not Dr. Strange’s Actor. It’s the actor that played Sherlock from the BBC tv series Sherlock Holmes.
Just imagine the first wave charging forward with mounting casualties one of them turns around expecting a second wave but theres no one
And hearing in the distance the stand down whistle call. Probably the shitties feeling ever
Hence why he tells the other officer to the first wave to hold the line in case they counter attack. They were just ordered to stop the push.
SIKE!
the 1st wave was slaughtered. And the 2nd wave will probably be the same. The sad thing is the letter only delayed the inevitable. They will still attack in few days and take massive casualties in return.
"Those bastards lied to me"
2:25 The power of encouragement.
"Well done lad" may have been just enough to not go mad from the whole ordeal.
"Hope is a dangerous thing", is one of the saddest things I've ever heard.
That line is what makes Red a thematic antagonist in _The Shawshank Redemption._
And what does Red say by film’s end? “I hope.”
Hope is dangerous since it can crush someone who believes in it or it can raise them above their enemies.
If Dyatlov was the colonel reading the message:
"He is delusional, take him to the infirmary."
"But sir, thousands will die."
Dyatlov: "Completely normal phenomenon, can happen with minimal warfare. Proceed with the attack"
3.6 thousand casualties. Not great, not terrible.
The Germans contaminated our platoons feed water, they’ll be okay I’ve seen worse.
arcwall14 “It wasn’t 3.6 thousand. It was 15,000.” -Legasov

CJ Pockets wtf, just straight bread and coke
@@YorkusPorkus757 there are kids who eat solely for the sake of taste and deliciousness and then there are MEN who eat because we CAN and we need to prove it.
This highlighted a continuing problem with command in those days; Officer not trusting enlisted men to do anything but die in large numbers and enlisted men not trusting their officers to do anything but get them killed in large numbers. Either way, enlisted died in large numbers.
Officers died in huge numbers as well. Lieutenants had a higher casualty rate than did your privates.
The junior officers died at a higher rate than the private soldiers did, they were brave men who led from the front.
Lieutenants tend to make up smaller proportion in comparison to enlisted men, so it would only make sense they suffer more proportionally.
When wars are fought with explosives powerful enough to level buildings and guns that spray enough bullets black out the sky, this is the only result. Imagine the horrors ancient people had the first time they encountered a bow and arrow on the battlefield.
This problem will continue to grow exponentially until the weapons start getting weaker, or the battles just stop happening. No matter how skilled the command is, if somone's prepared to throw bodies at taking an objective, you're never going to defend it without throwing bodies back.
The english officers imo were the worst of the bunch. Everywhere there was a huge separation between ranks but in british army they really put their pride and ego above military sense and lives of their soldiers. The simply ignored how the war changed rules of engagement. Whole villages in england got eradicated for nothing but an officers pride. It did not happen in this amount with any other army.
Huge respect for the guy that actually thanked Schofield
as an aussie, this reminds me of the ending of the movie gallipoli, if only the runner had succeeded in reaching command before the attack was ordered
Yes! I thought the same thing! Very much like Gallipoli!
OMG GALLIPOLI! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
@fjf sjdnx Bengal Famine tho? The man made quite a few big blunders to be honest.
That movie is a masterpiece
how fast can you run?
"There is only one way this war ends.... last man standing." So true. In the end, the Allies won because once American joined their side, on the same day this story takes place actually, they had enough bodies to feed to the war until the Germans simply ran out, and surrendered.
As a German, to my knowledge....yeah, pretty much, it was a giant meatgrinder, good for nothing.
@@Gloriath1 yeah, especially considering they had another one less than 30 years later.
aaaand history repeats itself...WWII also landed at the same ending.
Germany was running short of food too, and there was a lot of internal pressure from the communists.
@@ConfirmedCynic British blockade was working, people were starving.
That "Well done, lad" made me well up. Such great acting. The Major showing respect for Schofield's hard work and bravery.
*"Well done Lad"...Those three words and that look hit hard.*
I love how other officers make Cumberbatch's character sound like a madman, a butcher, a maverick who doesn't follow the rules, yet in the end he's the only officer who actually knows what's going on. The only one who hasn't given into despair, but isn't naive either. He knows that it doesn't matter if they hold back today's attack, because tomorrow they'll have to do it anyway.
He'll get told off by his RSM for losing his kit and rifle. Then get a mention in dispatches.
Exactly
He’ll very likely get prosecuted in military courts too

molly Watkins The world couldn’t just let Hitler’s Germany and Japan just do their thing. Thank God for that war and those men. Granted it didn’t have to be from their end, but definitely from the allies.
There was such a loud sigh of relief in the theater when the Corporal said: "Stand them down."
and all this cause one Austrian got clapped
He got vibe checked
That's why world leader don't ride in roofless cars anymore
I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
More like because Austria-Hungary wanted revenge instead of retribution
And then all this again because another Austrian wanted to clap back
Best war movie since Saving Private Ryan. I appreciated the realistic dialogue throughout. The scene at the end with Cumberbatch is central to the film's message and is exceedingly well acted. One of the year's best.
@Dead Meme and different eras too
The Hurt Locker and Dunkirk were also great in my opinion.
Fun fact: One of the Germans in the impending battle was a failure at art school and was so pissed off about this battle being delayed and losing the war for Germany, he went into politics.
Oh he’s probably gonna become some obscure senator in Germany. Nothing else will happen…right? 😅
He would never invade half of europe
I like how everyone came together to have the common courtesy so stop the battle so these guys can have a quiet conversation without explosions going off everywhere
There're explosions in the background
That or the first wave got quickly wiped out.
@@timovangalen1589 when they stopped the attack you could see soldiers from the first wave coming back to the bunkers, its not shown in the video here
Professionals have standards.
well its in between waves so theres less explosions
"Some men just want to fight". Truer words have never been spoken!
Rhodesian Light Infantry???
The allied command actually considered hundreds of thousands of casualties per major engagement a winning strategy because they figured at the rate of casualties, the central powers would run out of men before they did. This combined with technology far far outpacing the military tactics of the day is why over 17 million soldiers and civilians died during WW1, and then to have 50-60 million more people die throughout the world due to the Spanish Flu after that. There's a reason those in their 20s and 30s during the middle 1910s, those that came just before The Greatest Generation, became referred to as "The Lost Generation"
The axis weren’t in world war 1, do you mean the central powers?
@@hughjass8853 you're right, I edited it, thanks!!!
Benedict Cumberbatch can always play stern characters with cold personalities so goddamn well, and his voice is just the icing on the cake
It pulled me out of the immersion quite a bit to suddenly see Benedict Cumberbatch's face because he's so distinct and famous and has played less serious roles, but honestly he played this scene very well and I feel it was successful
I won't lie, I felt a sense of relief recognizing it was Benny on screen lol, a familiar face after all this, wondering what kind of person Mackenzie would possibly be. It makes him feel like the main character of another movie that we're intruding on, and he acted remarkably. That face at 1:06 was a hundred emotions in one expression. "Damn. Now I have to admit I'm wrong."
If only the colonel would’ve opened some portals on the German side .
Frank M I understood that reference
Opening portals on the German side was not in the 1 in 14 million outcomes I guess...

@@scolipede9995 bruh no ever points that out! I thought I was the only one who noticed😂
@@seashanty3375 since it wasnt scripted probably thought the best way just to lay down until the director says cut and getting chewed out for messing up
@@ernestogastelum9123 well if they messed up one scene they would have to do the entire part even before the scene because each part the camera never cut to another scene
Scolipede... I think that was a good decision too, like the bullets were already reaching them at the trench line and Will just had another very narrow escape.
The fact that Mackenzie was almost ready & willing to disobey orders just so he could go head to head with the Germans in a fight for which he was sending young men into really says a lot
When was he ready and willing to disobey orders? After he read the letter he called off the attack immediately.
That is why Mark Strong's chararacter told Schofield to make sure there were witnesses present when he delivered the orders to Mackenzie.
@@stellarwind1946 But it took a little convincing for him to read the letter. & I did say almost
I imagine its exactly as he said it he thinks its a dumb order like stop and attack at dusk or wait for fog he didn't pull those orders out of his but I bet there actual orders he has received. He has fought with his men in those trenches for nearly 3 years he was convinced they were on the run The Germans have been fighting tooth and nail for 3 years for that ground then suddenly there retreating its must be a full withdrawal chase them back to germany.
I imagine he was just at his wit’s end with the war, and jumped at what seemed like an opportunity for victory.
imagine what it would have been like to be him, everything he went through.
And almost all for nothing
Nothing for the millions of others that went thru that war...or all of the other wars???
Imagine....and it was all in one fkin day
Yes, imagine, and know that he was, at that time, able to imagine.
British Officer: "The only way this war ends is the last man standing."
German Officer in full Arnold accent: "I'll be back."
I love how Benedict Cumberbatch was a Major in a previous film War Horse (2011), and is now a colonel in 1917. Could have literally been the same character, through some strange turn of events lol.
im not even a benedict cumberbatch fan but his performance in this is probably one of the best ive ever seen. He conveys so much during the minuscule time he has on screen.
Imagine if the Colonel was too stubborn to read the letter anyways. The kid would have come all that way...for absolutely nothing
Hence the reason in the beginning the General told him to have more than one person witness see the letter, the General said some men just want to fight
That would be a lot like the battle of the crater in the US Civil War. Couple of drunk officers decided that instead of the soldiers that had been trained for the attack, they'd send in other guys who didn't know what they were doing, all of whom died.
The thing that I love most about this movie is that even though this story has been filled so much tension and drama, you realize during this scene that this isn't some final climax in the war or anything. Even with everything Schofield does here, the war will still rage on for another year, and countless more will die.
Opens letter:

What's sad is in the scene before this moment where Schofield was running along the line, we see hundreds of men charging into the battlefield straight into cannon and machine gun fire. While everyone in the colonel's command were saved after being told to stand down, we can only assume all the men on the field won't receive the message and probably died. He's probably thinking to himself if he had acted faster, those men would still be alive instead of being gunned down in a German trap.
And we see what happened to many in that first wave later when he finds Lt. Blake at the battalion aid station.
2:10
After all the traveling... like, damn.
That must be painful
He almost DIED like a million times But rip Blake
He said fauck owf, but his face said thank you for your sacrifice
@@faceripper77 LOL
So many people when they watched this felt that the Lieutenant Colonel (Benedict Cumberbatch) was just chasing glory or bloody minded; but really he’s just seen the truth, that they’ll keep attacking hopelessly until they secure an advantage. His frustration is from that fact that this slaughter would continue, not that he can’t have the attack he wanted for gloryz
True. Mark Strong's captain (after the stabbing at the farm) made Mackenzie sound like a power-hungry warmonger, and he almost looks that way at first here. But the fact that he actually did heed the letter, and lamented the constant whiplash of the stop and go orders, make you empathize with him and realize he was much more 3-dimensional that you were let on. He just wants this conflict to end and to put a stop to it.
If cellphones were invented, this movie would’ve ended in 2 minutes
The enemy could simply hack into that phone & listen into conversations
Not cellphones, those are too vulnerable, but a radio would definitely work
well, they already had regular phones like roterie phones but the Imperial Germans cut the line so they cannot communicate
At least the man at the end appreciated the Corporal for saving hundrends upon hundrends of men.
The one officer by the truck was smart too with his advice to him. "Make sure there are witnesses."
I remember watching this movie and the scene where he finds them in the woods singing, then the ramp up to this, I had to pause it and take a breather. This was such an amazing film.
0:35 "The Germans planned this sir" that reaction.....
I like how the letter was crisp and dry after he'd been submerged in that river.
Benedict Cumberbatch would make an excellent Thrawn (Star Wars)
Unfortunately he says he wouldn't want to during this time in his life, shame I know
Lars Mikkelson plays him really well, but yeah Benedict is also a fantastic choice.
Thrawn is one of my favourite characters, I really hope they don't mess him up in live action
Such a wonderful movie. That penetrating stare Colonel Mackenzie gives Schofield when he insists he read the message is chilling. Brilliant performances by everyone.
“Hope is a dangerous thing.”
I just find out that him getting hit by other soldiers wasn't even planned when he was running to get to the Colonel, but they decided to keep going and it payed off.
1. It shows the chaos of war
2. The camera moving farther away from him shows the hope of getting to the Colonel getting smaller by the second before he uses all his strength.
3. Shows how and hopeless the situation is becoming and kind of how everyone is against him, even his allies.
Great movie
Afterwards, he became a wealthy doctor, crashed his car and damaged his hands, learned the mystic arts, fought a weird entity from another dimension, and became the sorcerer supreme.
I didn’t know Dr Strange was a veteran
Nah it's his great grandfather
@@jackietang3789. Dr Strange has the Time Stone, so it’s definitely possible.
Sometime swearing words in army are not insulting. They have deep meaning behind the words. Kindness, joke, suffering, pain, sadness, anger and etc.
The real suspense of this scene was that i was expecting McKenzie to say "I have orders from higher up, we continue the attack!" Or something like that...
This film was so amazing.
This movie was simply brilliant. Honestly, one of the best films I have ever seen. The cinematic stunt that made history with merely a single shot.
Surely, sherlock over here would've deduced that he was walking in to a trap
Benedict smashes it as always
Ol cucumberpatch we called him
0:26 Jesus Christ, Benedict said the men have to run 5 freakin football fields
That “Well done lad” from the other commander at the end is satisfying to hear like at least someone thanked this man
This was one of the best films about war I've ever seen.
I like how the higher the rank of the soldier the more famous the actor was playing them.
Imagine having to be one of these field commanders. The futility of the situation is enough to drive a man insane.
The fact that only 2 guys were sent to deliver this is crazy if you stop to think about everything that happens.
I love how this movie casually drops A-listers. Spectacular film.
The most chilling part of this whole scene isn't the actors on screen but the hearing the whistles give the stand down signel as it makes it way down the line.
That is a man of honor. He don't want any attention or praise. He just wanted to hold his promise and he made it 👍
Schofield:"U have to stop!"
Mackenzie:" *Who the hell are u?* "
*”I have heard it all before”*
That’s an understatement.
Two scenes made this movie:
1.) The running scene
2.) Benedict Cumberbatch’s scene
Cumberbatch really looks like someone you would see in a ww1 picture
1:28 The screams of that officer " CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Benedict was born to be an actor. Phenomenal.
That guy really trusted the validity of that letter. RIP to the first wave of soldiers I guess?
The letter reads: "i am inevitable - Thanos"
The letter said "Dormamuu has come to bargain."
Seeing Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Strong in one movie, I don't know why but it shivered me timbers.
Cumberbatch is one shot and 2 minutes of the movie but he kills it.
"Last man standing" is such an apt way to characterize WW1
There will always be a disconnect from a soldier in the fight and an officer behind it
Until we realize the importance of leadership, expirence, and knowledge gained by raising up thru the ranks vs. what is taught at a War College, we will continue reaping the same results ...
There wasn't really a disconnect per say by 1917. Most of the command and control issues have been hammered out by this time. The Colonel himself has said, he's not gonna call back his men just to send them out again, that's why he initially refused to read the orders. He was looking out for his men, he wants the war to end just as quickly as any of the men under him.
@@fjb4932 It's not a black and white thing. Having officers first serve as enlisted up to, say sergeant, would give them empathy for their men and experience. Then a year or two of officer's training, because intelligence really is more valuable than you seem to think. Combine them into a true officer's corps, with experience and knowledge combined. Robert Heinlein, the science fiction writer, was a Navy vet from WW2, and he suggested this in his novel Starship Troopers.
@@fjb4932 we already have realised it. Why do you think fresh officers start as lieutenants and not generals of armies?
"stand them down" THANK YOU, you just saved the lives of 1,600 men
for a week. month tops. They died anyway.
The sad thing is that all that effort was for nothing, those men still died. War is terrible
@@minhngo9970 yes indeed, war is hell
Great film. One of the best war films made. Cumberbatch is excellent in his short scene. Awesome.
Dr Strange go back in time to command the British army in WW1
It’s just a great representation of what the military is like a hurry up and wait game… and rinse and repeat.
In Mackenzie's defense, he thought he had the Germans on the run, he said as much in this scene. He didn't want to give them time to regroup and fortify. if he had truly broken through the line, he would have had every reason to disobey that order and seize the initiative. A dumb move to ignore the order entirely, though. Better to read and disobey than lose out on some vital intelligence, like he so nearly did
One writer producer director editor shooter long shot, wow talk about ONE. Great job! It's a lot of work. The VFX Shot with the very large fire burning up the whole side of the hill is no Effects, that is practical. It looks surreal. Cinematography, the Sound, everything was great.
I didn’t look at the cast of this movie before seeing it so seeing Richard madden, and Benedict cumberbatch was such a treat
