I am pretty late to reviewing 1917, I saw it as soon as it came out in theatres and by God is this a cinematic experience! If you didn't see this movie in the cinema, what were you doing? I mean seriously! What were you wasting your time on, because this movie is amazing! I've seen many great films this decade, don't get me wrong, but 1917 has to be one of the best! The atmosphere and the cinematography of this movie makes you feel like you're part of the war, Roger Deakins is easily the greatest cinematographer working today and that is just a straight fact. At times, it can get a bit overwhelming, I must admit. There were many times during the film where I would burst into tears!
The hype is real, watch this movie if you haven't! One thing that made me really sad is that this film did not win "Best Picture" Oscar, sure, you can say Parasite all you want, but at the end of the day 1917 is a practically flawless film. Like I've said the feel to this film is mastered so well by Roger Deakins, VERY well deserved of his Oscar win for "Best Cinematography" category. One thing I haven't mentioned yet is that Sam Mendes directs the sh** out of this movie! His script was amazing, the dialogue is fantastic, that little scene with Benedict Cumberbatch was awesome, everything about this movie hit the right note.
I don't want to make this review too long, but I strongly reccommend that you watch this movie, the main performances are excellent, cinematography is next level and it is war movie perfection.
