My mother didn't like this film because it wasn't dramatic, it wasn't like _Saving Private Ryan,_ and the character we thought we were supposed to care about was unceremoniously killed not halfway through. It's funny, because that is why I loved it. War is not dramatic, it's not glorious, and it doesn't give a damn who you are and why you're there. It's dirty, and cruel, and heartbreaking, and I have never seen a film portray that like _1917._

Dunkirk is up there too.

The non-English speaking audience in my theater stood up and gave it a standing ovation in the end. That's how you know the movie is good.

This film was a masterpiece, which is why only the few sensitive souls would be able to appreciate it. The musical score is an expression of the beauty that lies within the depths of tragedy, the tragedy of loss, of goodbye, of human suffering but also of hope and the overcoming of suffering. Time propels life forward, our friends and loved ones seemingly left behind as we travel ahead, looking back, getting further from them. But in the end, death awaits us all.

This movie is perhaps the most haunting, lonely, yet beautiful film I've ever seen. Only film I've ever cried watching at the end in a theater.

Personally 1917 is the best war movie I've ever watched, the way that they did the continuous scenes made the movie feel so realistic... I felt like I was right beside them in battle the whole time. Bravo - 5 stars 10/10 . Don't forget the soundtrack its + top notch "I am a poor wayfaring stranger"

I respect other opinions, but at the same time, I cant understand those who didn't get or didn't care for this movie. Truly mesmorizing experience that I'll never be able to experience for the first time again. A moment of silence for those of all sides who lost their lives in The Great War, and any war to come before and after...

He never talked about the war until that movie came out. He was so moved by it he brought it up one day when it first came out to me and my son who was nine at the time. He said that the first 20 minutes was exactly how it went that day. My wife overheard the conversation and said he had never mentioned it in her 45 years. He chose to share it with his grandson. Needless to say we waited until my son was 15 before letting him see it.

Loved how the first scene in beginning was filmed on one long take!

One of the best soundtracks ever created. And the movie was so great.

For me the highlight of the film was the 'Night Window' segment, it really elevated the entire film. Stunning cinematography and score.

"...Go upstairs to where your boy’s asleep.. . . Look at him. Put your hand on that spot on the back of his neck. The place you used to love to kiss when he was a baby. Just rub it a little. You won’t wake him up, he knows it’s you. Just look at his strong, fine young body because only the best boys are chosen for war. Look at this splendid young creature who’s part of yourself, then close your eyes for a moment and I’ll tell you what can happen… Somewhere-five thousand miles from home. Night, Darkness, Cold. A drizzling rain. The noise is terrific. All Hell has broken loose. A star shell bursts in the air. Its unearthly flare lights up the muddy field. There’s a lot of tangled rusty barbed wires out there and a boy hanging over them-his stomach ripped out, and he’s feebly calling for help and water. His lips are white and drawn. He’s in agony. There’s your boy. The same boy who’s lying in bed tonight. The same boy who trusts you.. . . Are you going to run out on him? Are you going to let someone beat a drum or blow a bugle and make him chase after it?..." Smedley Butler was a two time Medal of Honor recipient. Twice he earned an award most men died before earning. He was one of the most decorated Marines in US history, and he came to the same conclusion that only the greatest generals in the world ever came to; that war is the sum of all evils.

Thomas Newman is way underrated.

We were the only ones at the last showing in the theater. My gf was curled up in my lap asleep the whole time, when credits rolled I remember sitting there for few minutes, just listening to 17:15, knowing one day it would all be over. This is was the last film I ever saw with my ex, and one of the last things I ever did with her, and for some reason this ost will always remind me of her.

There is no glory or recognition that is worth what happens to ones' heart and soul out there.

If we dont end wars, wars will end us -H. G. Wells

At 11:25 is where the climax, heart of the movie is at. I can't stop listening to 1917's soundtrack. A movie for the ages 💓

My grandfather was at Argonne forest and won an award for the 33rd. I have a strong connection with the film and love it because it makes me think of him.

This movie is such a master piece. Every time I watch it I'm on the edge of my seat. The suspense is perfect. The lighting is perfect.. The music is perfect. I love the way the narrative mirrors our character dipping in and out of madness before it finally all ties in together at the end, with his realization of his goal. The filming was a trip in and of itself, pulling the attention of the viewer into the experience with the characters. Furthermore I love the actors. They are relatable, and understandably fallible during wartime, as many people are. There is no "hero" in the sense of what people would want to see from an action film, but for sure in all sense of the meaning our main character is a hero. He perseveres despite daunting circumstance, resists the urge to settle down and let others die a meaningless death, and even makes amends at the end and does the right thing to tell the brother the news. It takes guts to do all of those things... true traits of a hero. From a cynical viewpoint I can understand how some standard movie going people wouldn't like this movie-some people just want to be entertained and don't care for depth. However for any person that claims themselves to be a movie lover, this movie delivers on every front, and I cannot understand why someone wouldn't respect this film for what it accomplished. 1917 is proof that film is not dead. Lastly, I must admit that in a general sense, I am not a fan of digital movies. But I really have to hand it to these guys... they pulled it off. I seriously respect this movie and count it as one of the best I've seen in the last decade.

There's something absolutely transformative about this movie, and its music contributes so much to it. No movie has ever stuck with me the way this one did. There's simply never been anything like it.

The Passage of Time. An enduring mystery; the Hand of God.

this is my favourite movie ever. I always struggled with that question, but after watching it a second time and coming to *that* scene, with the fiery lighting casting moving shadows all around the world as our hero runs through the burning city relentless, I found my answer. I used to watch shadows move on the bus on my way to school, and glaze over people's faces and moving hands in church, slip in and out of my car window at night, and cut through windows and gaps, doorways and cracks in broken walls were the first things I noticed when I entered a room. I felt like I was in heaven when I came to that scene. It's all I wanted out of a movie.

The Night Window and Sixteen Hundred Men are the movies highlights for me them movie scores are beautiful to listen too

This whole OST is amazing! I always come back to it whenever I am in need of a quality, mesmerising and touching soundtrack! Thomas Newman is a genius...

Almost 30 officers and over 550 men from the devons were killed. Only about 40-80 survived. Basically they sacrificed themselves to cover the retreat of their allies and almost the entire unit was wiped out....war sucks

to each their own, but in reference to the claims that newman took inspiration from zimmer, i don't think he did. if you think about it, war is a really percussive thing and it wouldn't work if it was any other instrument. those are reserved for the characters. the piano is kind of representative of blake, or characters that are kind to schofield, who is represented by the cello. a lot of the brass represents the germans (power), and the ambient chords and percussion are representative of the war in its entirety. there's so much in this score and i love it so much. newmans utilises silence /really/ well and nothing too much or not enough (in my opinion). a great soundtrack for a really great film.

0:00 Birth 1:04 Early Childhood 2:53 Late Childhood 4:42 Exciting yet chaotic Adolescent Years 8:08 Dissapointment after dissapointment, Fail after fail, ending up in rock bottom's basement during your late teenage years to early adulthood 11:00 Desperately trying to get your life together as you go madder by the hour doing so 17:15 Accepting that you are limited of power and strength because at the end of the day you are human, a mortal, you are meant to have flaws and struggles, just let it go and move on with your life. Anyway may I profusely apologize to anyone, especially those who may have lost someone close to them in this war, for analogizing the soundtrack of a profound war movie as the sound track of my miserable life.

Hope is the most beautiful thing

I love the night window. It sounds like renewal, like something bigger and better will happen.

Beautiful soundtrack. Simply beautiful and fantastic movie too. 👏🏼

Seeing this in 4D. You have to try to find a way to experience it. The running scene at the end, I was screaming at the screen “RUUUUUUN” !

Interestingly this film is special because it doesn't have 'scenes'. Everything was shot in a single take. If you watch it again, you will notice that it's a continuous scene. The producers did this to make it more realistic, since it was happening all within a few hours. The only scene break in the entire film is when the main character is shot and falls down the stairs in Ecoute, and blacks out. After that, it's all a single take again.

The only thing I found unrealistic was the reactions of the German pilot. That just didn't jibe with known examples. Pilots on either side who survived a crash landing behind enemy lines did not act like Japanese soldiers during WW2. You were still alive, and the enemy soldiers were usually not in immediate combat, and were willing to accept your surrender.
