Sam Mendes, the Oscar-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to this World War I epic.
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them.

1917 is an allegory of yet another allegory nearly 3,000 years old. It demands repeated viewing to absorb its nuanced and symbolic iconography. The landscapes of dark beauty, the liturgical score and most of all the unbroken camera flow that rarely breaks from the protagonists every step work subliminally much as a dream. Veterans who have survived combat might cast a memory of war beneath shut eyes this way. It connects you to the experience of a soldier at his own level. Few other films of this genre compare.
The ancient Greeks believed we come here with “sealed orders.” Lance Corporal Schofield and Corporal Blake are ordered to deliver an army command message that would save 1,600 men from annihilation. It’s a race against time.
The first hour of 1917 could be entitled “catabasis” from the epics of Homer – a term we can apply appropriately here to describe the sacrifice of a nation’s children in war. The graphic depiction of “no man’s land” separating the British and German front lines leaves little to your worst imaginings.
In the second hour, when Schofield awakens from a fall, he discovers his watch has stopped. Is he therefore even still alive? As he steps into Ecoust, a city of burning rubble, we enter the underworld with him. His solitary journey here is now so much that of book 6 from Virgil’s “Aeneid.” For Schofield to “go over” he must first complete his task. He must kill to survive, shun the pleas for an orphaned infant, nearly drown in a river (the Styx?) near Crosillies, climb over an island of dead civilians, and only then in a quiet forest find the Devon Rifle Company he was seeking. A soldier can be heard singing “I Am A Lonely Wayfaring Wanderer” - a hymn of warriors free of woe, crossing "the Jordan" to return to their parents in death. It is one of many carefully engineered symbols throughout the film, each of them a paradox.
In the suspenseful and relentless race against time that governs the final 20 minutes of the film Schofield staggers, exhausted, shell shocked, dogging a rain of shrapnel through the surreal chalk trenches to reach his destination and deliver the message. And also deliver another more personal message of his own.
Shall all these phantom warriors yet find their way to “Elysium” in the tender green fields of Belgium? Schofield carried with him a photo of his wife. On the reverse she had written “come back to us.”
Virgil's Aeneid was a poem of the Trojan wars. It addressed war with the subliminal aesthetics of that time as civilization’s great nightmare, and mankind’s greatest test. It remains relevant today and going forward. That aesthetics rather than reality can leave an emotional and not only an intellectual comment is the truest definition of art
Quick synapse: A brother and a friend are sent on a mission thru no mans land to warn the brothers unit of a ambush the Germans have set... can they make it in time?
So the problem I had with the film. (I've done my best to avoid spoiling things, but in describing the issues, you will glean the plot...so read on at your own risk!)
Right at the start the director wants you to notice the visceral gore around these guys by annoyingly spinning the camera around them as they walk.... So, naturally since I am supposed to be looking at the spinning scenery I did... and that's when I noticed the major problems with the film.
So, littered around the battlefield is bodies/parts displayed in gory detail... but whats missing? Well, there is no debris or trash or even foot prints in the soil. It's like they spent their entire budget making no mans land look as good as possible but then didn't bother dressing up the grass field right behind it which should be just as torn up.
So, when the two men get to the German side of the line they trench is immaculate... there is no litter, no blood, no signs that anyone actually lived there.... so when the German's pulled back the last thing they had to do was police the area for litter.
When they get behind German lines there are no tracks in the grass, no cart/horse/truck marks to be found anywhere! (Thousands of German troops were supposed to of been there for months if not years) Also missing was the shelling pock marks that would be behind the enemy front lines...
Funniest part of the next segment is where a convoy of trucks gets stuck in the mud... by mud I mean A single mud puddle in a flat open field that was easy to see and even easier to just drive around.... but now, time must be wasted to get unstuck.
Next Part is where the movie just falls off the rails.
A sniper starts shooting at one of our heroes who must close in and deal with him..... Well, our hero having previously shot his gun 4 times, chambers a new round and fire 4 more rounds at the sniper, closing in fires another round (having never reloaded the entire time).
Later on after the sniper fight our hero decides that infinite ammo guns is easy mode and decides not to shoot at enemies shooting at him but run in a straight lines out in the open.
Up against the clock, our hero then decides to waste even more time by hanging out with a French woman before setting off in a straight line evasion in the open from more Germans shooting at him.
Later, he shows up in the general area of where he was supposed to be and comes across troops sitting around listening to a guy sing... this is funny because none of the troops there even bother noticing/reacting to a stranger wandering into their formation. So after a prolonged singing segment our hero finally decides to ask where the unit he is supposed to warn is located... they say they are that unit.
Now, our hero must rush to the head of that unit to warn the commander who is strangely enough at the upper most forward position he could possible be.... and as our hero closes in the 1st wave is about to go.... (keep that in mind). He makes it to the Commander and instead of clearly stating he is a runner with orders from Command, he decided to shout nonsensical commands (demanding they cease the attack) coming across as a person who lost their mind. Eventually he convinces the commander to accept the orders and halt after the 1st wave has gone out..... which HE WOULD OF MADE IT IN PLENTY OF TIME HAD HE NOT STOPPED AND WASTED TIME TWICE BEFORE.
Oh and it's interesting to point out that this forward unit had time to create some immaculate trenches in the short time they were there.

dvd aucun coup ou griffe ...pochette impec encore son plastique ca c est tres bien..cela veus dire qu il na pas etais deballé car le plastique et tres du a refaire
One-Shot-Technik (5/5): Der One-Shot-Stil, bei dem der Film so erscheint, als wäre er in einer einzigen ungeschnittenen Aufnahme gedreht, ist atemberaubend. Diese Technik taucht den Zuschauer tief in das Geschehen ein und schafft eine beispiellose Immersion. Die Art und Weise, wie der Kameramann Roger Deakins die Kamera durch das Schlachtfeld und die Schützengräben bewegt, ist beeindruckend. Es erzeugt ein Gefühl der Dringlichkeit und des hautnahen Erlebens, das den Film von anderen abhebt.
Schauspielleistung (5/5): Die schauspielerischen Leistungen in "1917" sind erstklassig. Die Hauptdarsteller, George MacKay und Dean-Charles Chapman, liefern beeindruckende Darbietungen und vermitteln die Emotionen und den Schrecken des Krieges auf eindringliche Weise. Die Nebendarsteller, darunter bekannte Gesichter wie Benedict Cumberbatch und Colin Firth, tragen ebenfalls zur überzeugenden Darstellung bei.
Regie und Drehbuch (5/5): Sam Mendes hat einen herausragenden Job geleistet, sowohl in der Regie als auch als Mitautor des Drehbuchs. Die Geschichte ist packend und einfühlsam erzählt, und die Spannung bleibt von Anfang bis Ende erhalten. Mendes' Vision und sein Geschick bei der Inszenierung des Films sind bewundernswert.
Visuelle Effekte und Sounddesign (5/5): Die visuellen Effekte und das Sounddesign tragen maßgeblich zur Intensität des Films bei. Die Schlachtszenen sind realistisch und mitreißend, und die akustische Gestaltung verstärkt die Spannung und die Atmosphäre.
Gesamteindruck (5/5): "1917" ist ein herausragender Film, der nicht nur als ein technisches Meisterwerk des One-Shot-Films, sondern auch als ein zutiefst bewegendes Kriegsdrama beeindruckt. Die Kombination aus brillanter Regie, exzellenter schauspielerischer Leistung und der eindringlichen One-Shot-Technik macht diesen Film zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Er verdient definitiv seine Lobeshymnen und Auszeichnungen.
Insgesamt ist "1917" ein zeitgenössisches Meisterwerk des Kinos, das sowohl technisch als auch emotional überzeugt. Der One-Shot-Stil verschmilzt nahtlos mit der fesselnden Erzählung und schafft einen Film, der noch lange nach dem Abspann nachhallt. Eine absolute Empfehlung für Filmbegeisterte und Liebhaber anspruchsvoller Unterhaltung.
