1917 captures this spirit by anchoring the viewer in its two main characters.
The work ignores the heroism in Hollywood movies and focuses on the naked brutality of war.
The main idea of the film is that ordinary people are put in extreme situations.
Except for one scene, 1917 takes place almost in real time, through which death is portrayed directly.
The running scene at the film’s climax.
Another impressive scene is the climax, when Schofield runs through hundreds of charging soldiers (that is, falling into enemy positions).
Both George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman are up to the task in this emotionally and physically demanding production.
Sam Mendes celebrates two Golden Globe awards in the directing and drama categories.
The screenwriter cleverly arranges personalities and a small conflict so that the two characters have their own colors.
In addition, Mendes invited many names such as Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Richard Madden and Benedict Cumberbatch to play supporting roles to increase the value of the work.
Launched in December 2019, 1917 joined the award race quite late.
