I dig it. I don't know enough world war I history off the top of my head, anyone know if this is based off an actual situation (the attack that needs calling off), or a completely fictional story set in historical time period?

I don’t BELIEVE that it is...but my WWI history is pretty rusty.

Best I'm working from is "blueprint to Armageddon"; and that was pretty top level conceptual stuff in the grand scheme of things.

I know a fair amount about ww1, but I'm not sure what specific event this is about. I had thought it might be about the first day of the Somme, but that was in 1916. There were many battles that should have been called off during that war, so it could be any of those. I'm kinda looking forward to this and seeing what it's all about.

This film looks absolutely superb. Can’t wait.

So... "Galipolli", but on the western front.
I'll watch it. I dig a good war story.

Also, it was shot by Roger Freaking Deakins. Of course I'll be seeing it.

Saw some behind-the-scene clips of the new movie "1917", directed by Sam Mendes. Looks very good and what is crazy about it is that it's going to be in real time and one take. The technique of camera handling was pushed beyond anything seen before in a movie...looking forward to see it on the big screen

Saw the previews before Joker, looks good!

The one take will be interesting to see how well they pull it off. I'm definitely game for this movie.

 

[Yorkie Fett]

Love the way it’s from the ‘Sam Mendes, director of Skyfall’, almost like ‘Spectre’ never happened!

So is this movie being called amazing because it is filmed as all one shot (so I've heard?) Is the story good, or is it just getting attention because of HOW it was filmed?

 

[swgeek]

Don't know if it's any good but I hate people saying it was filmed all in one shot/take, it was not, (that's not aimed at you niennumb1)
I hope it's good, it looks interesting and there aren't enough WW1 films out there.

According to what I have read, it is shot and digitally edited so that it appears to be not one but two long shots. There is a moment at some point in the film where one character loses consciousness, and that is where the apparent first shot ends and the second begins.

What a brilliant film - went to see it yesterday. Cannot see anyone being disappointed when watching it. First time I'd been in a 4dx theatre too.

 

[rocketeer25]

Great film. Brilliantly acted and the story pulls you in. I was on the edge of my seat for much of the movie.

 

[Jaitea]

Absolutely fantastic film,....best film since Joker
