![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
The cinematography in this movie is just out of this world. Not just the one-take illusion, but so many of the visuals. I saw this in theaters and it knocked my SOCKS off.
One of my favorite things about this is that it's filmed to look like a one take, but it's actually just shots blended together. I always love shots like that, and this movie is one giant example.
BIRDMAN (which won the Oscar for Best Picture for the year 2014) is another example.
@axr7149 I have to watch that.
@@BGsBooks86 Highly recommended.
@@axr7149 I loved Birdman but I feel the one shot is a bit gimmicky in that one, whereas it makes more sense narratively in 1917. Impressive regardless!
nonetheless it's a blend of relatively few takes. they're still impressively long, individually.
was totally blown away by this movie, it must’ve been spectacular to see in the theatre; not only is it an amazing technical achievement, but it’s an emotional rollercoaster as well…bravo Sam Mendes 👏
Saw it in theaters twice. It was a really great experience
Best movie I've ever seen in theater
Yes, watching it in theater was incredible. I'm so glad I got to experience it.
Movies like this only comes out once in a long while. Truly amazing
This film is fantastic in how it drags the audience into actually being there. The bunker scene alone kicked in my PTSD from clearing caves and buildings in early Afghanistan and Iraq. Found myself ducking down in the theater as they were progressing. Incredible film making.
That’s interesting you always hear about the cave use in Afghanistan but I’d never considered and never seen anything about clearing them
My grandfather served in WW-1 in France and survived the war. My father in WW-2 with the Marines in the Pacific and survived, I served two Infantry combat tours in Vietnam. Now that I think about it none of us really ever talked about it to anyone. Prior to that we go back to every war this country has fought since the Revolution, we were all volunteers. Wonder how many of them tried to forget it too.?

I highly recommend the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" (2022).
Yea, way better movie then this in my opinion.
The original is vastly superior. That should be watched first.
@@Neckromorphcouldn't agree more, the remake isn't terrible but the attempt to rehabilitate Erzberger was if not indefensible then at least plain weird
Seconded
If you do end up watching it I’d highly recommend watching it in German with English subtitles. It’s so much better than the English dub.
The Great War was a static bloodbath. Comparatively speaking, the lines moved very little; troops basically fought from trenches. After both sides got sick enough of the butchery, the Armistice was signed.
I saw this in the theater in SC while visiting my son, and it was just as the Covid shutdown was starting. He worked evenings and we went after he got off. We had the entire imax theater to ourselves.
To me, the most powerful scene is when that young woman has comitted to caring for a child she does not even know. It conveys beautifully that, in war, no one is unaffected.
Filmmaker Sam Mendes based the movie on a story told by his grandfather, Lance Corporal Alfred Mendes, a WW1 veteran.
12:26 - This part always reminds me of the first track on Roger Waters' album 'Amused To Death'- The Ballad of Bill Hubbard.
There's piece of narration in it by an old Royal Fusiliers soldier Alfred Razzell- who would have been nineteen or twenty in 1917-
talking about a soldier he knew at the time when they attempted to escape from an enemy trench:
"Two things that have haunted me most are the days
when I had to collect the paybooks* and when I
left Bill Hubbard in No-Man's-Land."
"I was picked up and taken into their trench.
And I'd no sooner taken two or three steps down the trench when I heard a call:
'Hello Razz, I'm glad to see you! This is my second night here,' and he said, 'I'm feeling bad,'
and it was Bill Hubbard, one of the men we'd trained in England, one of the original battalion.
And I had a look at his wound, rolled him over; I could see that it was probably a fatal wound.
You can imagine what pain he was in- he was dripping with sweat;
and after I'd gone about three shellholes, traversed that, had it been...
had there been a path or a road I could have done better.
He pummeled me, 'Put me down, put me down, I'd rather die, I'd rather die, put me down!'
I was hoping he would faint.
He said, 'I can't go any further, let me die!'
I said, 'If I leave you here Bill you won't be found! Let's have another go.'
He said, 'All right then.'
And the same thing happened; he couldn't stand it any more -
and I had to leave him there, in No-Man's-Land."
*British soldiers carried paybooks as a passport/ID//bank book/last will & testament,
so collecting them meant taking them off dead soldiers.
I once heard The Ballad of Bill Hubbard on a jazz radio station, of all things. Alf's story at both ends of that album is so moving.
I love the camera work that makes this film seem like a series of very long cuts. Really keeps the action moving.
You should check out BIRDMAN (2014) which does the same thing. It stars Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Edward Norton, and Naomi Watts among others. BIRDMAN won 4 Oscars: Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, and Cinematography.
Seen it. And a good recommendation.
Probably one of the single greatest "one shot" scenes in cinematic history
It wasn't until watching reactions like this that I realized that this film is about Tommen Baratheon trying to save Robb Stark, featuring Galahad, Professor Moriarty, Merlin, and Sherlock Holmes. Having A-List actors play the officers was a genius move to distinguish them from the enlisted men.
Now that you've seen:
*Wonder Woman* - Fantasy/Period/Wartime/Romance/Superhero/Coming-of-Age (2017)
*1917* - Immersive War/Drama/Action (2019)
Next I'd suggest:
*All Quiet on the Western Front* - War/Horror/Drama (2022)
When you said "The rock, the rock," it reminded me of when I saw "Hanova Street" in theater. Two men are fumbling with keys to steal German documents. As guards are getting closer, a young woman in the front row broke the tense silence with "Hurry up!" We all burst out laughing.
"Comes back to us" always gets to me. Having written three books about the experiences of men during the Great War, this film truly resonates with me.
Others have probably said this, but Scofield was not supposed to be knocked down when running, but because of the difficulty of the take, they let it go. I think it was a happy accident. What I love about this movie, is the moments of peace interspersed with the peril. Blake and Scofield talking about the medal, the time when Scofield was with the young woman, Scofield listening the the song, which is about dying and going to Heaven. These moments of quiet, make the moments of peril all the more real.
It's just breathtaking to me, the moment Schofield mounts the trench, he just takes a couple brief walking steps. A man who has accepted he is meeting death, and meeting it right now. He's only stirred into sprinting by the whistle blast committing the charge, and men start running forward like a counter counting down from 1600 to 0.
Great reaction love from the uk red queen❤️🙏
It was literally a one-shot i.e. they carried the camera along with the boys, with VERY good edits to make it look seamless o0 My fave shot it the guys going thru that HUGE crater in the beginning, and I was like "Where's the camera??" Apparently the camera was on a wire rig to traverse the top of the crater o0 Helluva movie. Thanks for sharing, Addie xo
Addie, you need to watch Fury. Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf & Jon Bernthal. Incredible cast in that movie.
...and you need to watch Dunkirk (2017). #MoreWarMoviesForAddieCounts
I really can't stand that movie. I love Brad Pitt as an actor and I'm a WW2 historian, it even has the Worlds last fully functioning Tiger 1 tank. But I just can't get into it, it's way too Hollywood in the wrong way.
@@krisfrederick5001 even beyond the mere sense in which American war films disproportionately focus on "underdog" stories in war films despite always having overwhelming numerical, material and logistical advantages? Or is it something else?
@@josephwallace202are you on the German side? Wtf. Know when to not speak lol
@@Pingkonk what are you talking about? How could you possibly extrapolate that from my comment?
Out of all the reactions to 1917 and there have been a lot of them, this is THE best reaction. The editing is phenomenal, the reaction by Addie is the best and the post movie discussion is very informative. Thanks for posting, Addie! 😊
I feel like even people who don’t like war movies would have to agree this is a cinematic masterpiece.
@17:00 This shot!!! I saw this in theaters and this shot was (and still is) AMAZING 🤯
Love this movie! I think you'll really like Dunkirk as well.
Wow, just searched up 1917 reactions and got a fresh one, nice
Definitely one of my favorite movies. Exceptional cinematography. I feel like a perfect war movie should feel dreamlike and representational and this movie excels at it.
The take with the baby and the poem is very natural, first meeting, first take
As soon as Schofield’s actor left the bebbe wailed
Awwweee…
I recently rewatched this movie on a flight I took on my way back home from vacation in San Francisco.
What a great film, thx Addie, my grandfather lost his two brothers in the first world war, and he was a medic during the second world war, he never talked about it, my mother told me that after the war any loud noises he would hide under the living room table, Such brave souls not to be seen again, thank you for the reaction, kind regards Chris (UK)
Thanks for reacting to this movie!
I saw this one in theaters and was so glad I did. It's a beautiful film.
Most of the time "one shot" movies are just a gimmick, but this one really makes you feel like you are on the journey with these men. It's not just a film-it's an EXPERIENCE.
Failure to follow the dreaded "over the top" (climb out of your trench and attack) could be met by summary execution.
My Mum's Great Uncle died at Passchendaele aged 19. We just found out (through an Australian charity that is trying to identify and bury unidentified bodies on the western front) that a distant relative died on the Somme in 1916 with the Australian Army. The first world war was such a horrendous loss of life.
This significance of Scofield's report to Lieutenant Blake shouldn't be underestimated. The director pressed upon us the scores and scores of anonymous dead bodies...soldiers whose families would never have closure. Those families would never know how their loved ones died. But Scofield was able to provide closure to Blake's brother and family. He could report that Blake died bravely and in the company of a friend.
The two lead actors at the time were relatively unknown. It was intentional the larger name actors like Firth, Benedict, Strong, Andrew Scott, etc would be some key smaller roles so you would listen to someone a bit more recognizable and see where they direct the leads in the story.
My favorite WW I movie is War Horse about a young British lad and his love for his horse 🐎 great movie.
You should watch The Wild Robot 😊😊😊
Scofield may not get a happy ending, but at last he got a gentle one.
I’ll never forget watching 1917 and PARASITE in back-to-back days in Christmas and Boxing Day of 2019 respectively in theatres. These were the last 2 films I watched in the cinemas pre-pandemic.
They Shall Not Grow Old--restored footage, with recorded narration from veterans. Tremendous.
One of those movies that shows you how crucial cinematography can be.
Apropos of nothing except you liked Muppet Christmas Carol and you seem to be a fan of the Muppets in general: you should check out Muppet Treasure Island. Music by Hans Zimmer of Pirates of the Caribbean fame. Classic Muppet humor. Tim Curry giving the performance of lifetime. Gonzo. The hits just keep on coming.
Anyway, you're really good at this so keep doing what you're doing and you'll continue killing it.
This movie does a good job of showing how awful the conditions were in one of the most horrendous wars ever fought. I've read and heard details of the trenches and if anything, it was far worse than was shown and the wounds were horrendous.
If I'm not mistaken, the shots are all something like 7/8/9-minute long takes, carefully stitched together to hide the editing "seams", giving the overall impression of one long, giant, continuous take ('cept for that blackout about halfway through the film, lol)
Glad you reacted to this movie and its made to look like one shot but cut in places that are hard to notice like in dark places or behind rocks it's very clever and Hope you react to Dunkirk 2017 too
This is a great movie, Addie. You have good taste.
If you want another war movie you HAVE to see, watch Fury.
Its a very heavy movie so be prepared, youre gonna cry.
I love how they shot the movie, not because every single shot lingers on for a long time, but because almost every single shot in daytime Had to be shot in cloudy weather!otherwise they would have waited for sunshine every day, so the breaks they had were during sunshine days!
Mark Strong is such an underrated actor
Seen it several times and still makes me cry
Us Brits lost almost 1 million young men in WW1.
My great-Grandfather fought and survived. An extremely brutal war.
If you fancy a British War story run...
Here is a list in historical story order...
Dunkirk...
Battle of Britain...
A Bridge too Far...
All star and are directed by A Listers and won awards. They are all based on true stories.
Also Bridge on the river Kwai
Beautiful hair, Ms. Addie.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece.
All Quiet on the Western Front is another great WWI film. A much more graphic depiction, albeit.
That was the year I was born, so this movie hits to close to home with me
The part where Schofield gets out of the trench and starts running was the only take they could do because of the time setup, and cost to include the ground getting ruined. The collisions with the soldiers coming out of the trenches were not scripted. George MacKay remained in character as Schofield each time he was knocked down, thus saving precious time and money.
There is a behind the scenes documentary about how they shot this film on RUclips. It is well worth a watch.
A lot of people think it's one shot, but it's not! It's tracking shots superbly edited.
They did do some sneaky cuts, quite many I would assume, but they did one continuous shot that was almost 9 minutes long. :)
I love this film, watched it in cinema
Sam Mendes, and I know the word underrated is overused but Sam Mendes truly feels like one of the most underrated director's of the last 30+ years.
👍fantastic reaction Addie❤️🇦🇺
This reminds me of Sam and Frodo's journey from Lord of the Rings. The night scene in the destroyed village is a dreamscape, you can see how some of surrealist art of the early 1920s was inspired
I'm wondering if you've ever seen the music video for Sabaton's cover of "1916"; it is pretty amazing.
(in response to the previous title of this video) Of course it is, Addie. Imagine seeing 1917 (2019) in IMAX 1.90:1. You would've felt EVEN MORE immersed into the movie. That's EXACTLY how my dad & I saw it.
ruclips.net/video/IZq3ZLINF4o/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Majority of the night scenes were shot in bright daylight with color grading post processing.
"Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne, he travels fastest who travels alone."
Whether or not the movie was a telling of actual events doesn't really matter to me. It is a reflection of either singular or collective experiences in the war. There were stories like this that came out of WWI for sure. Even Saving Private Ryan has a similar theme to it, except that is to find someone to deliver the message that they are going home. On a side note, Richard Madden plays Lt. Blake while Dean Charles Chapman plays Corporal Blake, his younger brother. Both were on Game of Thrones. Madden played Robb Stark, the King in the North who beheads the guy who kills Charles-Chapman's character. DCC comes back later to play King Tommen Lannister (different character). Over all, the cinematography helps to set the long, grueling pacing of the character's journey throughout the movie, and even adds to some of the chaos. It really is well done!
The Soviet movie "Come and See" also seems to be a pretty strong influence. Come and See has no combat scenes, while this has only a one-on-one gunfight and the protagonist does not participate in the final battle. Come and See also follows a lone protagonist (a child soldier in WW2) as opposed to the usual squad dynamic of war movies.
Awesome reaction and Mark Strong is so good actor
If you ever can, the ww1 museum in kc is pretty intense.
His brother the LT. Personified the old British stiff upper lip attitude...never show weakness.... Soiid movie..favorite scene is the French girl and baby
Have you watched All quiet on the western front?
Great reaction Addie like always love this epic movie, Despite the movie is inspired by Sam Mendes' grandfather, the two main characters played by Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay are not based on real people. Instead, both of the characters are more of a loose reinterpretation of Alfred Mendes' own experience during the First World War.
There are some fun-facts about it. In case you didn't realise the way director Sam Mendes chose to present the shooting seem like just one take. In layman's term, the one-shot approach refers to a single long take that occurs in real-time minus the traditional edits often seen in most movies. Interestingly enough, "1917" isn't literally shot in one take, but it is via the magic of clever editing and elaborate camerawork.
Creating an illusion as if "1917" was shot continuously in a long, single-take is very cool. And believe us, it is, but the process itself wasn't exactly smooth sailing even with veteran English cinematographer Roger Deakins in charge as the director of photography. Deakins, who has been nominated for 14 Oscars before finally winning one for 2018's "Blade Runner 2049", had to endure a series of tricky challenges to get the shot from behind the scenes.
For instance, during the movie's climactic scene where George MacKay's Schofield has to run across a battlefield, he has to combine different camera techniques including using a 50-foot Technocrane (telescopic crane) to accomplish the task. A series of long shots were also utilised to be stitched together later in post-production by editor Lee Smith, with the longest take being around 9 minutes. Given the nature of its filmmaking technique, the shots tend to stretch from 20 to an incredible 50 takes, totalling around 65 days of filming.
Long sections of this movie take place in trenches. The production team had to dig out entirely new trenches to be used in the film, so that the trenches’ geography adhered to the events depicted in the script. As a result, the crew ended up digging more than 5,200 feet of trenches (in other words, almost a mile) to be used during filming.
In the climactic sequence, in which Lance Corporal Schofield runs across the battlefield and the camera tracks him, he bumps into other soldiers on two separate occasions. Both times, he falls to the ground, rolls over, and jumps back up to carry on running. This wasn’t scripted; George MacKay accidentally bumped into a couple of the extras playing soldiers while they were filming and just played it off so he wouldn’t ruin the take. Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed the movie and your reaction. Time to go watch it again.
Greatest war movie ever made. Hands down.
This & all quiet on the western front are the best war movies released of the last 10 yrs.
This Film Should Have Won For "Best Picture"
In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more.--Ernest Hemingway, "In Another Country"
War is hell.
The U. S. entered the war in April 1917 over Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, although it had given notice that neutral vessels in war zones were fair game (they could be carrying war materiel to belligerents). Germany could not compete with the Royal Navy on the ocean's surface.
Love this movie and loved your reaction!
One of the most used tricks to hide cuts in this movie is having an object or an actor block a good amount of the foreground. The first one is at the 03min38 mark of the film when they have to let the soldiers cross before continuing their walk.
There are a lot more techniques, like CGI blending from a take to an other, whip pans etc.
I really recommend watching some behind the scenes, it's trully impressive!
Cow's milk, I understand, is not great for infants under 1 year of age as the child cannot properly digest it but in a war situation...
it's 1917 those studies haven't seen conducted till the 1980s, we know that now but back then they didn't
Yet to see this movie , probably watch on my new plasma I got for $20 👌👌👌👌👌
Is that Colin Firth in the opening scene? Sounds like him.
Looks like our hostess really got into this one.
The music is a tap-dancing jackhammer, alternating between shoving your emotions around and subtly tickling your feelings.
Supplies… Gentlemen… maps, torches, grenades annnd a couple of little tissues
Please consider watching the movie in the pursuit of Honor with Don Johnson
I don’t particularly care about how long each take was or how well hidden the cuts where I was too busy thinking about the human cost that war took 🙁
Luv u Addie
You would think that Mackenzie would have had some forward scouts who would have warned him not to advance. The terrain seems pretty flat.
Watch these movies they are called Good burger and Good burger 2
fun fact at @22:56 when he ran into another soldier and fell that wasn't part of the script it just happened during filming and they kept it in cause it made it seem more realistic
The two times he ran into another solider after he went over the top to make it to Colonel Mackenzie was unscripted by the way.
Me @ Addies reaction and fitting title
* _reaches out to shake hand_ *
Well done Lass… _Well done_
Radio communication was not advanced enough at the time, and presumably a message drop by airplane was not feasible. The message had to be delivered in person.
