So you also need other great people around him.

Of course when you have a director with the quality and experience of Sam Mendes you expect brilliance. It’s a bold, bloody and resolute attempt to create a continuous shot all-action war movie.

But if anyone was capable of such a daring feat Sam Mendes would be high up on the list of people you would call on to attempt it.Īnd whilst it doesn’t quite manage to convince us - there is at least one blatant cut during the film - it is as close as perhaps anyone is likely to come with a war movie featuring so many dynamic elements such as leading actors, dozens of supporting cast all performing in all-out action sequences as bullets fly, planes whizz overhead and explosions go off. This is of course something that is almost impossible to achieve in a normal film, but in a war film with guns, explosions and horses it is downright ridiculous to even attempt it. The main draw of 1917 is the idea of the film being shot in one continuous take. Now, if you missed it on the big screen you have the chance to watch it in the comfort of your own home - and given the current circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown that is in fact the only place you can watch it! 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.Īudiences, and the film world in general, have been talking about this movie, a lot, even before its release, and even more so since it hit cinema screens. In 1917 at the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (MacKay) and Blake (Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission.
