Watch this fascinating behind-the-scenes featurette of the making of #SamMendes' World War I epic drama, #1917.
Two young British privates 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 soldier's brothers, from walking straight into a deadly trap.
The scene with the ruined town lit up by flares is one of the most incredible pieces of filmmaking I have ever seen

so we all come to the conclusion that this movie needs to win the oscar for cinematography and for its sets?
It deserves to win everything. Best movie I've ever seen.
Leon Gargan ehh, I wouldn’t say that completely, it was amazing, I just saw it
To be fair, yes, the cinematography was breathtaking. But the use of lightning and black & white in the Lighthouse is simply incredible. I'll have to go for The Lighthouse as it is the only nomination it has.
YES
If it's not happen, i loose hope on Oscar awards for sake
I always like when movies use relatively unknown actors for major characters in the story. It allows me to fully emerge myself in the film.
Immerse you mean?
@@dl5498 Yeah, lol. I realised only later that I wrote it wrong. Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Maxime_K-G You can edit comments yknow

@@NoName-nf5xl A scene is a unit of space (the action takes place in a field/house/appartment). A sequence is a unit of time (any stretch of time where the character/characters are doing a certain action). Eventhough this movie is presented in a single shot it has multiples scenes and sequences.

Yes, I get the movie in 4 weeks OMG!!!
I really enjoyed the fact that the main guys were just regular young men, not ripped and badass like most wartime movie actors. Made it very realistic. Fantastic movie!
Exactly, and still they were more bad ass than any ripped Rambo character I've seen in most WW movies :)
@@Yourhighnessnona rambo doesnt take place during any major world conflict. theres a reason those kinds of movies arent suppose to be realistic
So true, the bit where the soldier is dying and he's asking for his mum. I totally broke down in the cinema.

Just like the actual war.
Opening night. Held my breath nearly the full two hours. What a film.
Yeah, it’s stunning
Worthy of an Oscar.. the cinematography was stunning. The airplanes you won't forget. The last second the movie ended I realized I was holding my breath.

I watched it twice, the same day
@@bptdns22 me too!!...it was really good. We all have bad days but we have to power through them. 🙂
The extended version of this film will include a few hours of a dark screen from when Scho passed out.
Funny one...😂
They should have done a time lapse or something like that so it could still be one shot
Underrated comment.
OMG... Hahaha
That would be like 5 hours tho

Anyone who would dilute this movie as “just another war film” clearly has no understanding of the intricacies of film making, nor the pure work of art that this film truly is
chill, its just another few pixels
Yung Thunder it’s not about the pixels....
@Rad Derry I care
@Rad Derry because it captures what those men in World War 1 really did and how messengers worked it is a work of art
@Rad Derry actually no. If you take time and do research on world war 1 you'd know they used runners and even if they didn't use a runner they'd use a pigeon and it is close to what they did as they got sniped at and once the Germans saw the red arm bands they tried there hardest to silence them. If you're going to talk shit at least do a little research. And it was anti-German because it was on the British side of course it's going to be heavily focused on British propaganda it's a war again get your facts straight before you come at me or anyone else.
Something beutifull I noticed about this movie is the opening and closing shots. The similarities parallel eachother in a bitter sweet way.
Trees seem to be a somewhat elaborate theme in this film.

Just saw this movie today and let me just say, the trailers really didn't do a very good job of conveying the one-take storytelling. It's the kind of film that when you see it, you're just kind of left in constant awe because of how well filmed it is, and the film's immersion is almost never broken. The stuff that Deakins was able to accomplish with the lighting in the Écoust sequence is astonishing. If Deakins doesn't win another Oscar for this, I'm sure there's gonna be more than a few eyebrows raised.
That the trailers didn't convey the real magnitude of the storytelling here is something I'm grateful for.
LordJaeger6277 how would the trailer convey the one take story telling?
How it was filmed, cool. As a movie it wasn’t good
That scene with the flares lighting will be etched in my memory for a long time. INCREDIBLE LIGHTING, INCREDIBLE CINEMATOGRAPHY.
Did u want them to show the whole movie like most of da stoopid trailers do?!?? I hate wen dey do dat!! I’d rather c a movie so I get surprised! Or if There’s a joke I’ll laugh cuz I didn’t know what the punchline was etc, unlike a trailer dat shows the whole joke!! 🤬🤬🤬
When he falls into the river after the ruins, I thought for sure that would be a cut into something else, when it kept filming and the river became a serious threat and obstacle, and they just kept the story flowing I was blown away.
Evan Ray Roberts the river bit is just breathtakingly beautiful as well
The scene where he jumps into the river was filmed at Tees barrage white water course in Stockton on Tees, &
the waterfall was Low Force (both in the north east.
it was similar to The Revenant
They choose the white water course for a location as they could film multiple takes of that same scene, as they could regulate / recreate the required water flow and not spend ages re-setting everything back up.
Evan Ray Roberts
That scene was filmed in the uk
let me say, this movie was so freaking good that i watched it literally 4 times in 2 days and when the rental was over i cried. my all time favorite move 1000000000/10!!
a n n a l i e s e
Today would’ve been my second time 2 months ago time has flown by
I still remember my first time really well, shivering all day
When the soldier starts to sing that song it broke my heart. I thought of all the boys who never made it to their 30’s, all the orphan babies who grew up without fathers, all the widows, heart broken mothers, fathers, girlfriends, friends etc.
Let all of us wish for peace on earth!
TopSecretMakeup absolutely my favourite scene in the entire movie. I’m a 22-year-old Brit, so this entire movie really resonated with me and made me feel incredibly proud but also incredibly lucky that I haven’t had to live through something like that.
Not saying war is good... But without the civil war... Slavery would still most likely be a thing... If war wasn't a thing the world wouldn't be the way it is today... All wars change something... Without the 71 million deaths in world war 2 (or 80 million) the world wouldn't reminiscent back to those wars and say we shouldn't fight those big wars... You can disagree but I think that is true.
This scene was like a balm after what us viewers have experienced along with the 2 main soldiers. It was a beautiful moment which made the movie even better.
Can’t imagine being 17 and going to war. I’m nearly 18 and I have already gone through hell thinking about it since 2017
TopSecretMakeup Song at end of movie was best part.

‘Haha it’s only me god damn it’
I love how it doesn’t show all the glory and heroism in world wars which is why audiences are tired of this cliche. It really shows the intense, devastating side of war and these soldiers are just young men which is really heart-wrenching. Following them into the trenches reflected what I have learnt about the conditions in the trenches and it’s not pretty at all.
I still had a full bag of popcorn at the end.
Some muppet beside me decided to eat a burrito...every 20 seconds involved him unwrapping tin foil...i was so lucky it was such an immersive film
Colm Moloney For one of the most immersive movies ever, I had forgotten that I was even in the theatres, and I had forgotten about my surroundings, and I felt like I was in the movie myself, witnessing every single excellent scene, and going on the roller coaster full of emotions!
True.one of the best movie ever
Omg yes same. 😂😂
Colm Moloney i want to know how he was able to keep eating with the dead bodies
Can’t believe how incredible this movie was. The fact that almost the entire film was “one take” with hidden cuts thrown in. Breathtaking
-edit I realize I said take I meant one shot but you get what I meant.
Also thanks for the likes it’s glad to know there’s other people out there who love film making like I do
lilmil that was the only super obvious one
lilmil because he was meant to be knocked out for hours 😂 it was a plot device to pass time they weren’t trying to trick anybody
@@corrincorrin3055 If u were paying attention to it a lot of the cuts where pretty easy to see
Fever I guess so, but I was just so immersed in the movie I only noticed 1 or 2. In the end I don’t mind, I just loved this movie.
lilmil well they weren’t trying to trick anybody. It was for effect and it worked really well
The production design was out of this world in this movie. It better get the recognition it deserves.
Not to mention the effort in that flare scene
I tried buying tickets for this movie but didn’t realize it was rated R until the lady went “do you have your id” me being 16 I went no then bought tickets for dolittle which was playing right next to 1917 so I just slipped into it. And found an open seat on the app and checked to make sure no one was in it. Most definitely worth it, best movie ever.
Holy shit 😂
I never thought to do the app thing 😂😂😂W
Lol here in germany you can watch it when your twelve xD
Late to the party, I admire your creativity.
In my opinion the film should be PG13.

@@corymcgrath5652 Good point, actually.
I love how everything is real, the entire set, the extras, the explosions, the gunshots. There is no green screen, no CGI, it's all real. And all the extra actors do everything perfectly synced it's so realistic. It makes the movie that much more immersive especially how you can see all the little details going on around the main characters.
I hate how everything is unreal and stagey. Unrealistic nonsense.
wait i could’ve sworn there was a bit of cgi
I agree with all you said, but fun fact there was some really impressive gci used to transition between takes, like full models of the actors. I was blown away
@@zoeeb There would've been maybe to get rid of an accidental thing that was noticed after shooting e.g. visible cables or something like that but else I don't think there would have been an extremely large amount, but don't quote me, I'm not a film maker.
You forgot the plane crash
Did anyone else thoroughly enjoyed the 2 times they showed them walking from rest into the trenches? I feel like we've never gotten to see soldiers entering the trenches before. The transition was so smooth and it adds to the immersion.
I did 😭😭
This was a new perspective for me! I never knew they were so cramped and almost lonely, even. Despite all the people there.
Really showed the contrast of all the chaos and death that was just feet away from these beautiful countryside lands. Incredible film
Agree
I really did. At the opening, there are people sleeping, eating, washing dishes, hanging up laundry, then a few steps later they are in the trenches. Crowded, dirty, chaotic.
I literally cried when Will met Blake.
What a masterpiece.
It was a powerful moment for sure.

The cinematic experience this film offered was unparalleled. Whilst watching the movie, I felt that this was something truly unique - the way the audience is lent almost a first-person point of view of proceedings, and the reality of carnage around, coupled with the fantastic performances of the actors. Absolutely incredible. Shows you how powerful film making can be. And to appreciate the fact that the audience's experience of this incredible film was always kept in mind throughout - hat's off to all those involved with this movie. This is what comes of dedication, and truly wanting to creating something unique and lasting.
It truly has been a long time since I have gone to a film and walked out of the cinema in a quiet awe. I found myself quite literally on the edge of my seat trying to soak in every tiny detail of this film. You could tell that the cast and crew really poured their blood, sweat, and tears into this story. It was so very respectful of war, not romanticizing it any way. Even the extras had phenomenal portrayal of how those young men behaved. The lighting was gorgeous, the cinematography was breathtaking and new, the set, costumes, makeup, was historically accurate and realistic. The story was great. I felt satisfied and unsatisfied at the end, which is exactly how a good war story should be told. Truly beautiful and truly deserving of awards and high praise!
Hahaha it was weird exiting the movie when it was over. Felt kinda like waking up from a long dream
Can someone tell me why this comment is so underrated?
100% how I felt too. The feeling at the end was a genuine sense of relief because I really truly felt like I had participated in the journey. An amazing film.
I didn't realize I'd been tense during the film until the song scene.
i started crying right then and there

You only get to relax when Schofield gets to relax (for like 2 mins while he's listening to the song)

ye and then its over, nothing fucking happened 1 man stabbed and the other shot at for 30 secs fucking boring
"No scene ever repeats" , except the tree by which he sits : (
These scene was so sad and beautiful. And trees are such a big symbol of life and death during all that movie, like when Blake talk about how the cherry trees will grow back even more abundant, speaking about future life just before meeting the german plane and ...well, no spoil, but this is a very very amazing film, best I've seen in theater for the 15 past years at least,. Everything was just perfect, the technic, the acting, the casting, the story, the scores,...Absolutely loved it, and can't get it out of my mind.
@@juliettemayzou927
Me neither
I am of the opinion that this is one of the greatest films ever made. The criticism is that it is merely a "technical achievement" ignores the fact that film is a technical medium. In great works of art, style and substance are often inseparable, or indistinguishable. Here, the means by which the story is told-the technical aspects, the grammar, the style-are intimately linked with the narrative. It is a true work of art.
Exactly my thoughts. The movie uses a kind of visual storytelling, I think. Have seen some people complaining about a lack of character development in the movie but not only it would be unrealistic for the characters to be talking about themselves all the time while walking through no man's land, but also I think we got all the information we needed about them through how they reacted to each situation. I don't know, I felt invested enough
An excellent film and one of the best of 2020? Yes, certainly. One of the greatest films ever made? No, unless you have seen very few films.
@@MrSchmerzen98 How can anyone be complaining about character development? Do I even need to say anything to point out how stupid that is?
@@Armaan8014 I know, that's beyond me
@1350 oh god please
I had to sit in the theater for several minutes afterwards to collect myself and not burst into tears... not because I was sad, but because this film was just to emotionally gripping. Simply amazing... from the script to the sound to the cinematography. Everything.
I did the same, it played with my emotions,I saw it last night and am still thinking about it now. Just amazing
Exactly the same with me, I was so overcome I was unable to move.

I’m still thinking about Friday 17th January that was the day I saw it. I literally said nothing for 2 days
@Graphic Nerdity I can admit I was not in a talking mood for the rest of the night after, usually drive home from the movies willing to chat about it or listen to music. I had the radio down and said nothing..
@Graphic Nerdity I cannot wait to see it again. But at home next time, I think it will be one of those movies that impacts me everytime I watch it
I still cannot fathom how this did not win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Absolutely stunning film-making.
I watched this movie today, and I can't help but marvel at the masterpiece this movie truly is.
Technically, and visually one of the most beautifully filmed movies I have watched in IMAX. It sits up there with Dunkirk as a movie I would watch again in IMAX with my jaw wide open.
Kyle Welsby this and Dunkirk was ok but my least fav war movies saving private Ryan and hacksaw ridge was much better in my opion

I thought Scho was gonna die. I became very surprised when it was otherwise
@@karenaiime I think it really shows how in war most don't die in a heroic way that it almost feels like they died for nothing, how after months if not years of training they're thrown into the battlefield where a disease or while digging trenches they take in their last breathes forever leaving this world...
He was! ...until the situation changed
1917 is a piece of art. Stunning directing, cinematography and music. Watching this movie in a cinema is one of the beat experiences I've ever had.
the idea for the film is... I have bigger balls than Christopher Nolan...
Both makes completely different types of films. Chris Nolan is genius in sci-fi movies
@@professorpyg505 i think he was talking about nolans "dunkirk" movie compared to 1917
Yup and it is a succes in my opinion. I have really prefered 1917 at Dunkirk. I rembember watching dunkirk and, when the end came, thinking : okay, not bad. But, who are these guys ? I mean, we don't even know their names, a peice of their backup and their stories...hard to identify ourselves to somes character without any names...I really prefer how 1917 allows to its spectator to know its characters through short scenes with short dialogs about the cherry trees, or Blake Mother, or how Schofield miss his family...
Plus, Dunkirk wasn't really realistic to me...I mean...no blood at all, no bodies around the ship and on the beach, not even a simpe view of the ennemy ? What about the moment when the bombs falls on the beach ? No victim at all ? We can't see even one, like if it wasn't really the war. About dunkirk, I rather prefer the sequence shot in the film The Atonement, with James McAvoy and Keira Kightley, which I found much more realistic. :)
@@juliettemayzou927 from an interview i watched Christopher Nolan said he was treating dunkirk as an event thus making the characters objective, he didn't want any one character to have the fonth stage because the movie was not about any of them rather the whole event and the editing style was non linear to emphasise on that idea, dunkirk was more of visual story telling.
@@juliettemayzou927 I still really enjoy Dunkirk, but I agree that 1917 was better.

Easily one of the best movies of all time. Truly a unique and moving experience
This was utterly phenomenal. It’s a new bar in film for me. The beauty of Days of Heaven, the ‘landscape as narrative’ of the Revenant, the audacity of Birdman and the grit of Children of Men. Something beyond Saving Private Ryan, this is different.. this is art, contemplation, sacrifice, a testament to the untold millions of men churned up in the grinders of war.
I saw it at VMAX as I do when sound and quality are important. Another level of film making has been achieved.
Skip the trailers and don’t watch this if you’ve got a plan to go to see 1917.
This is as if the mastery of the D-Day sequence from Saving Private Ryan kept on going for two more hours.
Also the crowd choreography of Dunkirk.

Can’t stand idiots on War movies honestly it upsets me to be honest
I watched the movie completely captivated and didn’t realize it was all “one scene” until someone mentioned it. That’s how you know that it’s a great cinematography.
I watched the film last night: it is the best film I've ever seen; the immersion was full, making you feel like you were there with those people. The constantly moving camera was very strategically positioned, for example when moving through the crowded trenches full of soldiers: some joking, some smoking, laughing, fighting, others lost in thoughts - all looking very natural, as though completely unaware and undisturbed by the camera, rendering that naturalism.
Of course, we have to mention how the camera constantly moved across the no man's land, yet managing to show the close-ups of the poor dead left behind, to highlight the plight of the WW1 soldier.
The constant immersion that the film managed to achieve left me in tears - not of sadness but of realisation of the real loss and suffering endured during that time and any other armed conflict.
I was so moved, shaken even, after leaving the cinema, that after coming home I stayed in my room for the rest of the evening, contemplating.
This film will become a classic and I feel priviliged I was able to see it in the cinema when it came out.

WarHorse is a good movie but 1917 totally beats it
The movie really threw me into the experience, and now I can understand why war veterans get PSTD. The kind of things they have seen, felt, and come across on the battlefield, even if not involved in the frontlines, is frightening.
Most of the + 10 million soldiers died on the front lines as cannon meat. It's estimated that WW1 resulted in a total of 40 million casualties (military + civilian).
All that death and destruction... so immensely sad..
You weren't supposed to survive WW1 if you gone on the front lines

This movie NEEDS to win best picture. The risks, the challenges, the shear hard work to make a movie like this and to then make it as incredible as this, NEEDS to be recognized.
Not 3% of the movie Parasite is. Though - I did enjoy it somewhat.
I mean, hard work goes into other movies too ahaha, it's not just the physical work that makes a movie a masterpiece. Give Parasite a watch 🙌
This movie was one of the best I’ve ever seen. That running scene at the end...epic!!
Cry with surprise every time
The sets are really something else... who else would love just spending the day walking through the trenches and the deserted towns etc. Fantastic.
I live in Germany and we visited these old trenches once near the French border and it somehow felt so much more real than any other landmark I've ever been to. You could feel the claustrophobia and the desperation that the people back then must have been trough...I haven't forgotten any of it
Wish the sets will stay and become an attraction for people to see what ww1 looked like

I'm attending college to get a film degree. This was the first time I've sat in an actual theatre and *really* paid attention to the cinematography techniques and lighting. In small scale class projects, I've DP'd and that barest, tiniest hint of a taste of the world of cinematography sparked a certain love and appreciation for the camerawork that went into this film. I regret that I've never before had a *real* appreciation for cinematographers like Roger Deakins. He is a truly talented man.

1917 speaks to my heart. And no, it's not another war movie. It's a masterpiece. This story is almost unbelievable and yet it happened, maybe not exactly as it is told in this movie but still. And oh Lord, how brilliant everything and everyone was! The directing, the cast, the costumes, the details. I find extremely harmonious and metaphorical how the movie both starts and ends with Lance Corporal Schofield resting under a tree. At first with the company of his friend and a few hours later just after having delivered the news of his friend's death to the tragic figure of his brother. And this is the very moment when I deeply wander if he managed to get through that war without losing his own life, if he managed to get back to his love just like she begged him to do in the back of her photo. So, yes. 1917 speaks to my heart and will always do so.
This BTS video has more editing than the movie.
😆
This has more cuts than the entire movie, definitely not more editing
The movie has considerably more editing than the BTS but the BTS has a lot more VISIBLE cuts.
What an amazing amazing movie. I’m speechless
More cuts yes, more editing nah..
I'm not a war movie person. I thought I was doing my husband a favor by letting us go to this film on my birthday yesterday. I turned to him about halfway through and said, "this movie is really well done and should be used for a film class." Later I saw it had won awards. I went into the movie blindly knowing nothing about it and it could very well be the best artistically made movie I've ever seen. And...I see multiple movies every week.
You're husband is very lucky, I too have a partner that makes sacrifices
@@youlittlerocket I honestly should do it more often.
@@jenelchandler8806 That's sweet. Bless you
Happy Birthday 🎂 may you have many more wonderful surprises in life
@@jakepollen6839 thank you!
This is one of the most incredible movies ever! I took notes during the movie, since we are analysing ww1 and 2 in year 8. I have never researched more of a movie than this. It feels so realistic, and has given me the inspiration to write my own book about the war!
Wrong the movie is clinical ....clean actors clean troops clean uniforms clean weapons .......the reality was dirty uniforms dirty troops dirty uniforms mud shit death hands bodies limbs mud destruction filth rats etc ...no modern film can recreate the trench life and death and hell .
@@bertiewooster3326 I know that was the reality, and this film didnt include all, or mostly any of it, but it still was an amazing movie. Some parts werent realistic to re-iterate, and I wont be using this as a main source, but things like dogfights or putees i found interesting. :D
*One of the best films I've ever seen!*
Voldemort same
My new favorite of all time.
My favorite movie was when you were in it❤👍
Voldemort sAme! Broke my heart.
Same!
This movie literally changed the way I look at film making
I work in film industry and hands down this is the best piece of cinematography I've ever seen.
As a military spouse, I had such a guttural reaction to this film- what can only be described as violent sobbing at the end. What a film. This is a true masterpiece and an extremely important story. They really nailed the psychological and emotional aspects of the soldier’s experience. Well done.
Thank you Kait. When I enlisted it was specifically to go to war. I signed up willing to kill others with impunity and die as many times as necessary to win. I could have played professional football but wanted to make a real difference instead and joined. We detach to get the job done but we are all human inside. We are sons and brothers and husbands. We are not always cold blooded machines.
Jake Pollen Thanks for sharing, and for your service and selflessness. You hit the nail on the head- that detachment is what is so hard to understand as a spouse. I won’t ruin it for anyone who hasn’t seen the film, but the last shot is what got me. My husband detached during his deployment and I couldn’t understand why. Now I do. And this is why we have art. :)
IT WAS A TECHNICAL MASTERPIECE.
BEST MOVIE OF 2019.
2020?
@@anatolegolliot3121 it was premiered on 4 December and released on 25 December in the US so, its a 2019 film.
Parasite is best movie of 2019
This movie took my breath away. It stayed with me for months. I absolutely loved it.
Absolutely beautiful story. The "one shot" gave the film a very consistent time feel. I am so glad I saw it because it was a fantastic experience.
I just got back from watching this film and hands down it’s incredible. One of the best if not best films I’ve seen. Some of the scenes are just so incredible and realistic.
I'm NOT a war movie kinda person BUT... on every single level... directing, casting, acting, lighting, sound, music, etc... PHENOMENAL JOB!!! I've watched this 3xs and every time it's an exhilarating watch.
Best Cinematography
Best Production Design
Honestly, the acting was great too. I'm shocked we're not seeing much hype for the actor that played Schofield. He was brilliant.
Louise X no. Not even for the screenplay.
@@TheREALJohnL Because it was mostly reaction. Due to the stuffs happening behind them. So..... That's why.
Vishnu Karthik acting is 50% dialogue 50% reactionary. I don’t give a shit if a actor can remember his lines that’s his job it’s when they emote with their face and body is where you believe what they’re saying is true and not just acting
Sam Mendes - "Okay, let's go back to one."
Everyone - "Uh, One is like 50 miles back...do you want us to just meet you there? or..."
As someone who is passionate & appreciative of film, I absolutely loved this!
Just got out of the first official screening. Cinematography and Production Design was utter perfection.
WIthout doubt one of the best films I've ever seen. I've never felt that way in a cinema before. Completely immersed.
Their was something special about this movie I never experienced in a movie before felt like I was reading a book mixed with a game with a movie.the camera angles were very unique and the concept of the movie is amazing
The artistry of this film is astonishing in every aspect! Loved every second!
Great movie! Watching this movie being filmed in the “one take” method, without noticeable editing, feels very immersive, as if I’m accompanying these men throughout their entire journey in “real time.” 🇬🇧👍👏.
Not gonna lie I cried during that final trench run. The epic scale of it all was one of those moments that I knew I had to pursue film making for the rest of my life.
What’s not often mentioned about the final run is that those times he got smacked into weren’t meant to happen and hadn’t been rehearsed or planned. But they only had enough explosives for 5 takes so no matter what happened he had to finish the scene and keep running. Everyone was confused from the smoke and the explosions (which weren’t there during rehearsals) so they couldn’t see him properly, hence those impacts. But both him and the extras were able to roll with it and finish the run to save the shot!! They kept that take in because it was actually more realistic having those impacts. Shows amazing dedication from all the actors involved (extras included) because those impacts were probably pretty painful and disorienting 💚
Good luck with you future film endeavours!! 🙏🏻
That’s so true .. i felt like i was living those moments the whole time ..
The first thing i said to my friends once the movie was finished was : “ i’m tired “
AMuhsin
It tired me out
AMuhsin
I said nothing except ‘oh my god’ the whole time
Imagine coming into work one day as an actor and hearing Sam Mendes yell to everyone, “ALRIGHT GUYS WE NEED TO RESHOOT A FEW SCENES” ahahhaha
Syke, there's only 1 scene. AND NO GOING BACKWARDS
Love this movie, love their friendship, love actors, love everything
Seen the movie today, it was spectacular, breath taken for 2 full hours ! never seen this before !
Anybody else watch this over and over just to admire the camerawork and appreciate such a unique film?
Thats first scene was UNBELIEVABLE I keep thinking when will there be a stop or break or another cam view??? I felt I was living what they were living MIND BLOWING!! Master piece in movie form. 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The movie is just incredible! A wonderful piece of art packed with passion and talent from everyone in the film. One of the most well-thought-out films I've ever seen.
This movie is a masterpiece of cinematography and for sure one of the most amazing and beautiful movies I've ever seen!
This is my favourite film of all time, there's nothing I don't absolutely love about it. It was the best cinema experience I've ever had and I know I will appreciate this work of art forever.
I love seeing the ever neglected U in Favourite....Been in USA a wee bit too long
unbelievable that this didn't win best picture. this is one of the greatest films of all time and a completely unique experience
The details in this film were fantastic!
the way this was filmed was absolutely beautiful and the actors were amazing. the sets were breathtaking especially the scene with the flares going in the air lighting the area. just amazing.
This movie should win all the awards wtf it's good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This was so real. I can’t believe what these soldiers went through. These young men were phenomenal. What a great movie!!!!!!
I felt almost like I had PTSD after seeing the movie. It's one of the most amazing experiences ever and an absolutely magnificent film ever.
