  • Will (George MacKay) makes a run for it across the battlefield in order to find Colonel Mackenzie and call off the attack.
    What is 1917 (2019) about?
    Oscar award winning director, Sam Mendes, brings his singular vision to this World War I epic. At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic's George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman), are given a seemingly impossible mission. 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.

    Fun fact: The clashes with other soldiers were totally accidents
    But the cost of explosions were too expensive so Schofield actor decided to keep moving forward till the scene was over.

      @Flare have you seen the movie? You don't seem to know what they're running into even though it's visible in the shot right before he enters the trench. Have you just watched this clip?
      Do you have any sort of idea of what it means to climb out of the trench? Do you even know what trench warfare is? If you did, you wouldn't have said those soldiers were "running into nothing". If you actually found this scene weak it's fine, but goddamn it you found it weak for all the wrong reasons.

      @Flare have you? World War 1 ended in 1918, which is 104 years ago, dumbass. You know exactly what they were running into. Anyone who has the slightest knowledge about WWI does. The camera work is supposed to highlight not where Scho's run is headed (which would've been plain old grass) or where the soldiers' is (which would've been the enemy line); but the soldiers themselves, running straight towards their deaths. "Do you have evidence that you were in World War 1" has to be one of the fucking stupidest questions I have ever received in all my life, mainly because it would imply that I have ever claimed that I part-took in that conflict, which I obviously didn't because everyone who had is now long gone.
      Have you directed Saving Private Ryan and 1917? If you didn't your entire comment is invalid (see how dumb that sounds?). I have studied WW1 and know what attrition warfare is, which you obviously don't. I know exactly why, even before watching the movie, the "big push" Mackenzie organised couldn't have possibly worked, you obviously don't. I know things that you don't. Plain and simple. Do some research before critiquing a scene from a movie you simply did not understand.

    As an extra on this it was the best experience of my life, running over the trench to the whistle surrounded by like minded adrenalin loaded lads dodging practical explosions that made the whole trench dark for a few seconds when they went off. Was so immersive! Even got to shake Roger Deakins hand, humble brag.
    If you're interested in Deakins here's how I met him:
    The end of the day filming everyone going over the trench I see Roger Deakins and his wife walking away from the set towards their presumed campervan. Ive been wanting to talk to him ever since I got the role of a soldier. It's now or never so I time my walk to come diagonally to them, theres no one else really around in this open space of field, all the things I wanted to say going out the window. But got to shake his hand and say how much of a great job he is doing to him and his wife. Best day of my life as a fellow cinematographer. I wish I could draw so I could recreate the moment as it felt so personal with no one else around with the empty trenches next to us.
    I've got more interesting stories and facts about that film set if you wanna hear them.

      To me it adds greatly to this scene, because Scofield is already too late. When he falls over those men and the camera wheels further away, it’s time that he can’t lose, it’s no longer about saving all of them, it’s about saving any of them, the men in the first wave are already dead. That number? 1600 men? From the moment that whistle blows it’s counting down, faster and faster.

Oh and there is this on scene in Up that also always makes me want to cry.
      Definitely certain scenes in movies have been more emotional for me than anything in any TV show or game so far, especially when seen on big screen with best possible audio experience, so thats why I still appreciate the cinema experience...for example this scene hits nowhere near as much on TV or phone screen as it did when I saw in theater

    Such a simultaneously beautiful and tragic scene. So many heartbreaking and yet heartwarming vignettes, all these often forgotten men (at least as individuals), each with their own stories, joys, triumphs, fears, and failures.
    The way Lieutenant Richards, potentially about to lose his own life, desperately cares about saving Schofield ("No.. no, no, no!") is especially heart-wrenching. The way he tries to will a young man he never met into keeping himself safe on a battlefield is really special.
